Pictures, ADD, and new things

My foray into photography has taught me a couple things: I do not enjoy it as much as I hoped I would and I do believe I have ADD. I can't seem to stay focused on more than two things at a time. I like to focus on nutrition and exercise, but beyond that, I tend to wander...aimlessly. Perhaps it is because I didn't enjoy taking pictures as much as I thought I would, perhaps I am a scatter brain. Hard to be objective about myself.

But realizing that a new camera would not be in my future, I used my overtime money and bought and inexpensive laptop. I was going to get a netbook but realized I liked a full size keyboard better and I wanted something I can play/burn cd's on and play dvd's. Husband and I checked out several this morning and ended up bringing one home. I am still getting to know it but so far, I like it. Our home computer is 9 years old so it is fun to have something that is up to date. And now the kids can be on the old computer as much as they want. Win win.

I am happy to report that I had a really good week. Primarily because Youngest had a good week. It seems the diet change and vitamin supplements have helped. Here's a snapshot of the supplements that are taken in this house

I will be adding a Magnesium supplement as soon as it gets here. Not all of these are taken by one person, I take the majority but the kids take two to three of them.

 I am really excited because Husband has decided to lose some weight and eat the way I eat. We stocked up on a lot of whole wheat products and are eating a lot of lean protein, fruits and veggies. The kids are on board, too, so I am hopeful that our family can keep making healthy changes.

Daughter found her lost library book this week!! Husband said it was a Lenten Miracle.

I had a great night out with my Sis in Law Thursday night. It is always good to catch up with her and eat some good grub.

How are my Weight Warriors?? I am not going to hit my Feb goal but I am ok with it. My Sis in Law reminded me of how much I have lost and more importantly, how long I have kept it off. I am not giving up on my goal of 142, but I feel good as long as I stay under 150. This coming week I am going to focus on moving more and getting more exercise minutes in. I hope you all are doing well and keeping your eyes on the prize.

I am looking forward to Spring. I want to plant a container garden but want to find some off the beaten path containers. Looks like I will be hitting some flea markets and thrift stores. Oohhh...I will have to browse Pinterest for ideas...there goes hours of my life I will never get back!

I hope you are all having a good weekend.
