Day 9 I love the sun!

Boy, I don't know about the rest of you but Daylight Savings didn't hit me on Sunday but it sure did a number on me yesterday morning.  I was trying so hard to get motivated but I was dragging.  I had my normal lemon water..and then 2 count them 2 cups of coffee.  I don't love using coffee as a crutch but some mornings there is just no other option.

The sun was out though.  It was a beautiful day, the most beautiful day we have had around here in quite some time.  That had me motivated even if I was dragging a little.  By ten I had done two loads of laundry, all the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.  Then I made crockpot Pasta E Fagioli Soup.  I just didn't add the pasta to mine.  Next time I make it I am not going to used the canned kidney beans I am going to try the bag kind I figure there will be less preservatives that way.  I also edited out the V-8 juice because I was out of it but to be honest I couldn't notice so I will probably edit that out permanently.

 I could not stand to be stuck inside on such a beautiful day.  I went out to the stores and  picked up the kitchen sheers I wanted.  I also stopped at  Aldis to get some fruit.  I was pleasantly surprised at the price.  It was so much cheaper than what I have been playing.  It looks really good too, I will have to keep that in mind when I am in town.

I had mentioned that I wanted to start reading hard copies of books. When I got home I had won a Goodreads Firstread.  It is a book called Never Smile at Strangers by Jennifer Jaynes.  So far it is decent although I notice she does a ridiculous amount of describing people smoking, which I find irritating as a former smoker.

I have been using my Fitbit to keep track of my walking, I was a bit lazy last week due to adjusting to all of this.  I was happy by the end of the day that I had gone over my goal and done over 5 miles.  I am hoping as the weather changes I can keep adding to my goal.

Progress:  Still going strong
Notes: Look into preparing beans from a can so I am not using canned goods, on that note look into canning tomatoes.
