Journal to Healthier Living – Week 7

Welcome my friends.  I’m tweaking my weekly journey with my healthier living.  It’s a step in the right direction for sure.  I hope you come along for the ride.  Instead of day-to-day comments, I’m going to post something from my personal journal to share.  Hope you enjoy.  Remember all of us go down this path and we are all in it together ❤

Week of 02/18-02/24/2018 – Week 7

“Dear Journal – It seems like food choices are beginning to become easier in decision making.  That’s a great and awesome thing.  If you would have told me this time last year I would be choosing water over a soda, I would have laughed at you.  I was so addicted to fully leaded soda!  It’s such a relief to break myself of that addiction.  I don’t have to worry about diet soda… I would much rather drink water anytime.  And I think water is so much better for my skin as well.  This was definitely a good week of eating.  I need to pick up the exercise a bit more.  I’ve been doing a combination of walking and exercise.  There are seven exercises that I’m trying to incorporate into my routine everyday.  It’s working for me and that is what matters.  I think I’m going to rope the hub unit in doing those seven exercises with me every evening.  It may make things go faster and it would certainly help to boost both of us for sure.”

Okay I *Might* Have Had a Temper Tantrum

Did you know that when baby elephants have a ‘fit’ and don’t get their way,  they throw themselves into mud like this little guy and have a ‘temper tantrum’?  Did you know that?

Well, mom called me her little baby elephant this past weekend.  I didn’t get my way so I threw myself on a pillow on the floor with my butt in the air like that.  It didn’t work.  Mom just told me to let her know when I was finished.  My mom – she’s a tough one like that.

 What was the temper tantrum about?  Well I might have grabbed my big box of Gold Fish and taken off with it down the hall to my room.  I know – I shouldn’t have.  But mom confiscated and said no more Gold Fish for the day.  What?  NNNOOO!!  I need my Gold Fish.  Help my friends.

 

 

 

Mom’s New Friend

My silly mommy – snorts.  She got a package in the mail yesterday.  It was one of the things she ordered off of her Amazon account. She ripped the package open – and I helped in anticipation 🙂

That’s when I saw it.  Another pink imposter of a pig.  I say imposter because I’m the only *real* pig around the Hotel Thompson.  This thingy mom said she needed for work.  Yeah, shakes my head to the left and right.  Whatever gets you through the day mommy dearest.

Personally, I think you bought it just so it will remind you that you have me at home… waiting for you at the end of the day.  Yeah, that’s it.  A reminder of me… minus *my* long furry tail… minus the luxury black velvet color of *my* fur… minus my cute little marking on *my* snout… minus my little white skunk patch on *my* forehead.  Sure.  I can see how this imposter reminds you of ME.

Snorts, sticks his tongue out and goes to *my* room to pout.  Perhaps daddy should tuck me into bed tonight and read me a bedtime story.  You might be too busy playing with your imposter friend.

 

Yeah – PLOL – I Used To Do This

 

Did you know that when baby elephants have a ‘fit’ and don’t get their way,  they throw themselves into mud like this little guy and have a ‘temper tantrum’?  Did you know that?

When I was little – which seems like worlds ago – I used to do the same thing.  Mom used to call me her little baby elephant.  If I didn’t get my way, I would throw myself on a pillow on the floor with my butt in the air like that.  It doesn’t work much these days.  Mom just tells me to let her know when I’m finished.  My mom – she’s a tough one like that. 

Mom actually has this picture hanging on the refrigerator to remind me that this is how not to act to get something.  I thought I would share it with you.
