printer woes

Update: I restarted the computer. It works now. Guess I have to get healthy. Sheesh.
______________________

Alright, so I have this plan. Believe it or not, it's not really to gain the expected 25-35 pounds in the next few weeks. Tell that to the snack cupboard. It's oddly emptier every day.

I made this nice little chart with some daily goals. Easy stuff, like drinking eight glasses of water, taking a vitamin, and maybe just maybe not engorging myself on chips and dip every night. I can't print it off. Don't know why. The printer is refusing to print it. You'd think that the printer Steven bought that was cheaper than buying a new ink cartridge would do the job.

Apparently not.

Guess I'll just have to forgo the daily chart thing and just wing it. Ketchup chips, here I come.

Fiction...drinking 8 glasses of water a day. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=eight-glasses-water-per-day
I've heard this in other reports too, including Dr. Oz. Dr. Oz once reported that drinking 8 glasses of water a day was not necessary IF you are eating a full day of healthy food (he had a table of food to demonstrate) i.e. fruits, vegetables, grains, etc.
Lately I've watched the times I feel thirsty and think if I been eating properly...most times I have not, so I visit the fridge instead of grabbing water. This might be very circumstancial for me now, b/c i'm so busy with Caden rght now, i forget to eat or eat properly.

I've heard that too. There are very distinct camps on this one!

yes, wouldn't doubt that. I'm going with Fiction, i'm starting to get very "conspiracy theory" with food and food companies operating these days. I wonder if the 8 cups of water came from a water company sponsored study. Funny where a lot of "studies" come from. Have you watched the movie Food Inc.? A documentary on the US food industry, pretty disturbing how many corners are cut for food companies to make a buck (or millions of bucks). I should write a post about my stance :)

It's really disturbing how little "natural" food we eat these days! Everything comes out of a box or a can and is made with bleached flour and multiple "ose's"!

I think it was a sign that your list is too demanding. Add a couple of reachable goals. Like: Empty the cupboard, ASAP.

That should do it.

You know, that's not even on my list and yet I accomplish it every night! I definitely feel as though I have gone above and beyond my own expectations!

No, my secret alias is not Mia. MIA = missing in action. I have been avoiding posting on here. Why? Because I don't have a ton of stuff to write about. Also, I've discovered that my blog is being followed by a couple of people I'm not related to. Although I'm super excited about it, I'm also a little intimidated! Sounds silly, I know. Hear me out. You know how you can be a teenager (I'm not a teenager, we're just being hypothetical) and have big thick coke bottle glasses, zits all over your face, big baggy pants and a baggy sweatshirt hiding the rolls hidden underneath and a perm that went very very wrong and is now only curly on ONE SIDE and your mom still tells you you're beautiful and she'd love to trade faces with you? You know how that feels? You don't have to question it too much, because she's your mom and you know she's probably a little biased. Blogging is a little like that. Until now, only my friends have read my blog. I coul...

christmas time's a coming

Only 23 days until Christmas! Remember when we were kids, and Christmas was all about time off school, lots of treats (chocolate, candy canes, oranges, turtles!), new Christmas dresses for the church concert, lights, music, decorations, noisy and exciting gatherings at Grandma's house, Christmas episodes of our favorite tv shows and of course presents! The list goes on and on. I still find Christmas exciting. Yet, now the season holds more than just the "fun" stuff. Now we have to worry about scheduling in all the different families and parents, buying gifts we can't necessarily afford, making dishes to bring to the different gatherings, hoping that people will understand that we need to share the holidays with many others, and hoping that nobody will be hurt if our time with them is short. I wonder if I'm doing a good job of making the holidays fun and enjoyable for my kids, and if I've bought the right gifts. I worry about what five days in a row of late ni...

the snowsuit

I really must go back and tell you about . . . duhn duhn duh . . . the snowsuit . I've most certainly kept you in suspense far too long. Remember last winter when there was no snow, but it was still cold enough to freeze puddles and require kids to wear winter clothing? Good, we're caught up. Jordan is really hard on outerwear. Last year she destroyed a pair of skates, lost various mitts and tuques, shredded her first pair of winter boots and left her snowsuit looking like swiss cheese. The boots and snowsuit were done before Christmas. I made her wear the snowsuit for the rest of winter anyway and the boots I replaced after Christmas. It's amazing that a six year old child can ruin a rather expensive snowsuit in a few short months. I blame mother nature. Mother nature thought it would be funny to make it cold and icy out without actually giving us snow. Of course children want to run and drop to their knees or tummy on frozen puddles and slide to the other side. Of ...
