June 1

 
I am happy to report that I feel like I had a very productive month - finally!  I really feel like I am moving slow but time is moving fast this year - does that ever happen to you?

I have officially abandoned my desire to eliminate chocolate from my diet.  For some reason this has proven much more difficult than giving up ice cream for a year... It doesn't make sense because I am not really a chocolate person.  Oh well.

My biggest improvement this month was that I was at the gym an average of 4 times a week.  I am still not there as much as I would like to be, but it is a start.  In June I hope to attend more classes.

I started to keep a food journal & I added an area to record my vitamin.  I am now a person who takes a daily vitamin.  And drinks water.  Finally.

I continue to have 1-2 German lessons a week.  Some things are sticking & others will take a lot more work.  But my reading skills are improving dramatically.

I can't say I was overly social this month.  The normal book club, a few breakfasts & dinners out.  People are starting to travel for the summer so things might get a little quiet.

I have been busy planning our trip to Michigan in July.  I will be there with the kids for 4 weeks & Todd will be with us the first two.  Four weeks seems like a lot of time to do everything & see everyone -- but it isn't.  I am trying not to over plan but be somewhat organized, if that makes sense.  We are looking forward to the trip & have a direct flight to Chicago on our way there!  Yeah!

I don't think I am taking more pictures but I am trying to post more on the blog.  Even the mundane...

I continue to try to thoughtful.  In fact, I sent an email to an old college friend who I haven't spoken to in years but am friends with on FB about a story I have been meaning to tell her for over five years!  Better late than never...

Have a good month!
