Here Mojo – Here Boy – Has Anyone Seen My Mojo?

Well, it seems I’ve taken another blogging break – and diet and exercise break for that matter! There are a lot of things I could blame it on – school starting, soccer staring, cub scouts starting. Only being home one night last week, etc. etc. etc. But those are only excuses not reasons. None of those things should have stopped me from eating right or not exercising at least in the mornings.

So what do I do to get back on track? How do I get that “gung ho” feeling back? Well, the only thing I know to do is, as they say, just do it. I’ve got to get up and exercise – no excuses. I’ve got to eat better and turn down more sweets – no excuses. I’m hoping if I just act like I’m dieting and exercising, I’ll then feel it.

And I have to start now! Put my foot down on my spoiled self and get back in the groove. There are lots of fun things coming up and I would really like to be in shape for them. Sweetie Pie is now a cub scout. It looks like tons of fun but there are a lot of activities and camp outs – eek – and parents have to be involved. I want to participate, not just cheer from the side lines!

Anyways, that is what is going on in my head. I think I see mojo coming in from the field!

Just some other stuff; Sweetie Pie has been telling everyone to call him Pie. I’m not sure how I feel about this development. We have called him Sweetie Pie since he was born and only my uncle has ever called him Pie. He was telling everyone at the cub scout orientation yesterday to call him Pie. Hmmm, I guess I can see him as a Pie. If he keeps it up, I guess this old dog will have to learn new tricks.

I can’t believe how fast Pie has been growing this summer. I was going through some pictures to pick some to send to MIL and the shorts he was wearing at the beach no longer fit him. I use to think he would be 11 or 12 before he got taller than me but I think I need to lower the estimate to 9 or 10.

Anyone excited about football? I find myself excited this year and Pie has agreed to watch some games with me. It has been a long time since I’ve been interested in football. I’m married to one of the few men not interested so I haven’t paid much attention for the past few years. As I get older, I find I miss the excitement of the game, the joys of winning and the agony of losing. But I find myself wondering if I miss the game or just the food? LOL!

Anyway now I’m going to put on the boring stuff:

Breakfast: Jimmy Dean Light Breakfast Bowl

Snack: ½ bag of Combos

Lunch: lettuce, tomato, carrots, turkey, pecans and light balsamic vinaigrette

Snack: finish off Combos

Tomorrow I’m going to start adding up the calories, fat and carbs and get back to the losing!!
