Well, I didn't get to bed quite at the time I wanted last night.  Lights were out by 10:00 pm; half an hour late.  Then I had to get up early, so I am a bit tired this morning.  Also, Mondays I pick up the twins from my sister's place in Forest Grove, so we don't get home until late.  So, no Wii last night :( 

Tonight will be another later evening, the girls start soccer. I am looking forward to seeing the girls in their soccer gear and having them really experience field soccer.  This transitional time between summer and the beginning of school is always tricky and busy.  Usually we are gearing up for the High Holy Days (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur); luckily this year the High Holy Days are at the end of September, beginning of October :) 

My second day of salad, fruit, and protein bar seems to be a success.  I also have stir fry for lunch.  Even though I feel tired, I have to admit, it isn't that bone weary tired that I get.  So here I am, 2 days in a row of feeling descent. 

On my walk today, it was sunny, warm, listened to Sugarland the whole way.  I saw seniors walking and gardening, young adults reading under trees on the bluff, remnants of chalk art by young children, and what symbolizes the idyllic Portland life.  Old homes, quiet streets, lots of vegetation.  This is the type of space that I want to build for myself and the family.  Finding a way to make it happen will be the challenge as always, but I already have ideas of how I may be able to accomplish some of this.

Successes: Walked at lunch, feeling good for a second day
Barriers: Hungry, wanting to eat
