The cold brings me down

I so cannot wait until it is warm enough to be outside without a hat and scarf. I miss my walks around the various blocks here, even the one that is like climbing a very long staircase. I can't very well be taking my three year old out in the cold, especially now that I think he has a cold. I've been working on some meal plans today, and I got my workout in.

I was totally sucked into my book for most of the afternoon though, I just couldn't put it down. That in it's self is kind of funny. Why you ask? I will tell you. Until about 2 years ago, I didn't really like reading. I don't know what changed in me. Maybe it was the second child, maybe it was being in a house on top of a mountain in Alabama with nothing to do...I don't really know. What I do know is that now when the mood strikes me I can zip through a few books in a row before I even realize how sucked in I have been. I've read more books in the last two years than I did the previous 31.

This is what I want to know... Why can't it be this easy to get sucked into living a healthy life? Is it because we've been trained by the media that this stuff is too hard? That it takes unnatural dedication and/or obsession to live like that? Or that you can't have anything yummy anymore if you live like that? All these points are ridiculous. Anyone can do it. All the information you need to be successful is out there for you to use. All you have to do is use it.
