On the Road Again

I booked the hotel for my trip today, Yippeeee. I am so excited to be in the warm weather and it better not rain. I got to go get my toes and finger done over the weekend and get waxed. I also got to go shopping for some more summery things to wear. My countdown in on. 4 days and counting

Friday Recap in Bullets

• I have walked/ran on the treadmill every day this week except for last night. We had a tax appointment plus some other things came up and I needed to go out with some friends for a drink and to unwind.

• My mom had the flu last week and is now in the hospital for a few days due to dehydration. The moral of this story is drink plenty of fluids not just water. Try to switch it up with some gatorade too.

• My roadtrip for next weekend is definitely on. I am so excited to see some of this country and see some friends and also to hopefully see some people I talk to all the time and have never met.

• My daughter had a bad day at school yesterday. She was choking another little girl. Ummm where in the hell did she learn that. We might play around and wrestle at home but we have NEVER came close to doing anything like that. Since D was on dad duty last night he had to deal with it. Hopefully today will be a better day.

• I was down five pounds but me being a stress eater and all really pigged out yesterday. Oh well that was yesterday and today is a new day. I will do better today.

• The weather here absolutely sucks. I can not wait until I can wear sandals next weekend oh and no coat, plus I get to leave my boots with the fur at home. Sorry C.

Hmmm thats about all I think. I will have to see if I can find a cute picture to end with today. Well I guess I need to download pictures from my camera so I guess you are stuck with another one of the princess.

GRRRRRRRR

Somtimes I think I may be a little manic. Men just suck for me today. I mean how hard is it to run to Walmart and get a presricption for your wife??????? While she is exercising and you are doing nothing but sleeping on the floor. But its okay because she can go when she gets done at 6:30, then come home from Walmart and feed the child dinner at 7. Yes I can do everything because I am superwoman. I am so glad sometimes that I am self sufficent and don't have to depend on anyone for anything.

Oh well at least I did exercise last night. That is good.

And grrr I wish spell check would get fixed cause I suck.

Yippeee

I may get to go on a spur of the moment trip next weekend. Its been ages since I have done anything so last minute and without planning. I am a planner and I love to plan so if I do go it should be interesting. No plans just driving and friends. Maybe we won't even end up at where we want too!

New Year, New Directions

I have decided that I am going to be going a different direction with the blog this year. I am going to use it primarily to keep me honest about my weight loss journey.

I am getting serious about it this year. I want to take a trip to Vegas this summer with some girlfriends and I DON'T want to be the fat friend. I know some of you will say that I am not fat but when I look in the mirror I see myself as fat and I am just tired of it.

So in the last week I lost 4 pounds. I have altered my eating habit and have started exercising. And you know what its really not that bad. I have been walking on the treadmill at home. I started on Monday and could only go for 30 minutes at 2.8 no incline. Last night I went for an hour at 3.5 at a full incline. And you know what I probably could have went longer but my family needed to be fed dinner.

It really feels good to be able to do that. I have really been in kind of a funk for the last year and hopefully this will pull me out of it as I get in better shape and feel better overall. Plus maybe my husband will think I am sexy again. One thing that really helped last night was I actually read a book while I was walking and wow did that help the time go by quicker. I am actually looking forward to getting on and walking again tonight.

I am really hoping that I will be able to see some results by four weeks, I know that the weight won't fall on instantly but I really hope to see some kind of results in a month that way I won't feel like giving up. Maybe by then I will be able to run.

In closing a picture of my princess who is only 4 but looks like she is 12 in this picture, oh my a I going to be in trouble when she gets older.
