Week 2 did not go as well as the first week.

I exercised everyday.  Every other day I did the couch to 5k training and then on the days that I didn’t do that I just walked.  So far I am really hating the running thing.  When is that going to go away?  I don’t actually mind walking so much if there is something good to watch on TV or if I have someone to walk and talk with.  Anyhoo- my exercise went really well.

I ate really well also.  I would probably say I was perfect.

So then- why did I only lose 1 pound?  I don’t know.  But it’s discouraging.

I did okay this last week.  I was supposed to start my diet on Sunday but I didn’t really get serious until about Wednesday. When I weighed in today (Saturday) I had lost 3.5 pounds and several inches.  I wish I had gotten started earlier in the week since I could have lost even more.  I ate pretty healthy all week except I snacked more than I should have until Wednesday.  I started the couch to 5k too and have done okay.  I feel like I can’t breathe and that I might possibly die when I do the running part.  I guess that’s normal though.  Hoping that next week gets a little easier.

Times have changed in my house with our TV watching habits.  Since Hailey is now old enough to have particular shows that she wants to watch pretty much most of our TV watching revolves around her interests.  It would be really nice to have On Demand so that if there isn’t anything on that she likes we could just choose an On Demand show and pick whatever she wants.  I went to Charter’s On Demand home page and checked to see what she could watch right now- there were choices like Dora and Spongebob- some of her favorites.

Plus we miss a lot of shows that we like because when Hailey is awake we are usually playing with her or watching something that is interesting to her.  When she goes to bed I could find some of the Last Comic Standing episodes that I have missed and get caught up and they are playing right now!

You can’t go wrong with On Demand, there is always something on somewhere that you will like.  You don’t have to be home by a certain time to watch a show or remember to tape a show (do people still do that!?!?) You will ‘Like’ their Facebook page as well

So if you’re considering some changes in your TV choices, be sure to consider On Demand.

So I talked before about all the work that Rich has been doing to our deck and I guess it’s about time I show you what he has done.

This is the before picture- notice the unsafe railing on the deck- a small child could easily fall through there.  Some of the wood wasn’t in great shape and I hated the color- so they replaced the wood.

Here it is several days into the project….

Stay tuned for the finished new deck!
