Life on Rural Street

i'm trying to drink more water. i'm trying to eat better. and i'm trying to lose a few pounds. so far its going, eh, ok. i have a nalgene water bottle that holds 32 oz. so i figure i should down at least two of those a day. so far i've been really proud of myself for finishing one. one step at a time - right? my problem is that i pee all afternoon. i think my coworkers wonder what is wrong with me.

i really am trying to eat better. having wisdom teeth out helps with that. since they came out i've had to chew everything really well and eat slowly - which in turn helps me eat less and stop eating when i'm full. so at least i'm thinking about these things. i really do believe i should be eating organic yogurt too - i know what they do to dairy that's NOT organic and while most of john and i eat is organic or at least locally produced i'm having a really hard time givine up my yoplait yogurt. i love it. the red kind please. raspberry is my favorite. but i'm not going to stress about it yet. i'm determined that by vacation (end of august) i will have lost SOME weight. i'm not telling a number though - that's for me to know and you to maybe find out.

i found this http://emergentconvention.com/planningblog/ pretty exciting stuff, huh?

oh and john took a job here http://www.pghopendoor.com more exciting stuff! i guess i should edit my info on here. we'll be at CW through august though to help with the transition. there are people there that we really care about and we can't leave them hanging.
