**I am moving. I needed a change to go with my fresh start. Find me over HERE **
Day One=Hard
**So I started on my journey to lose weight and make myself healthier. Day one of course is always so hard. but I started the day with a positive attitude and tried to run with it. I dropped my oldest off at school and me and my other 2 headed to the park. We got to the park only to discover that it is closed for 2 days due to fertilization. OK no big deal, we'll figure out plan B.
Plan B was to go home, and let my middle dd ride her bike while I pushed the baby in the stroller. We walked 1.6 miles and came home to relax. I had an apple and some water and did some of my finals.
Then the need for caffeine kicked and I got a major headache and that threw me off for a little bit. But after some protein (chicken quesadilla) and some caffeine I was good as new and moving on. I just had dinner, some chicken, baked potato and veggie and the other 1/2 of my can of soda and I think I am done for the night. I may have some grapes before bed. but no more soda, only water and nothing shitty.
So all in all day one wasn't too bad but it is tough to commit to something like this. My goal is 50 pounds in 50 weeks, which is absolutely do-able and there really is no more excuses as to why I can't do it.**
I need a change
**My life is always so hectic. My husband is working 2 crazy jobs and we find out on Tuesday if he got this other job he applied for. Which means 2 full time jobs M-F and a job 1 day every weekend. We need the money but I miss him so much. I know he is going it so I do not have to go back to work until I am done with school but he is over doing it. I also know he is doing it because he will not be able to work much longer due to his injuries sustained 8 years ago, and he wants me to be home as much I can not because I will NEED to work when he can't but still I miss him.
My oldest went back to school this past week and my monkey turned 4. On Monday the princess turns 2!! I can not believe how quickly time has flown by. It is surreal to look into their eyes and remember them all as babies and to see these 3 little human beings looking back at me. They are amazing and I could not imagine my life without them.
This part of school is almost over. I have 4 more classes. 2 start on the 14th and then 9 weeks from there I will start my last 2. Then I will take a break until June or September...depending on what I decide to do. I don't even know if this is the path I want to follow anymore.
But the reason for this post is because I desperately need a change in my life. I need to change for ME. I never do anything for myself and it just time I start. I have a goal to lose 50 pounds in 50 weeks. It is a totally obtainable goal. And if I can do it, I will treat myself to a shopping spree. My ultimate goal...well I haven't figured it out yet but when I do I will treat myself to a 1000.00 shopping spree and total make over. Tuesday the 8th starts my journey and it will go until I lose 50 pounds or August 23(ish) which is 50 weeks away. I have all of the resources between a great place to walk at with the kids, every single DVD you can imagine, on demand and the Wii with the Fit and Active. Not to mention a husband who is losing weight and 3 kids to keep me motivated.
Well now that I wrote a book I better get going. Check back in to see my progress!!
It's HOT
I hate the heat. I have such a sensitivity to it, that I feel like my skin is burning off. I burn so easily; like with 5 mins in the sun I am RED! It is wayy to hot for me right now. My a/c has been running non stop! I am so ready for fall and winter to come!!
I won a give a way on a blog!! on Littleladyandthreeboys.blogspot.com I won the book The Love Dare from her bloghop give a way. I am so psyched to get it!!
Ohh well, not too much else new right now. I am getting ready for soccer tomorrow, tons of paperwork and we'll have the shirts too!! Tournament this weekend, crazy schedule for that but hopefully it will be good!!
Have a good night!!
My FIL and Step MIL Rock!
Even though I already did a lot of school shopping FIL and Step MIL went and got Kim some gift cards for clothes. So this weekend we are headed to Gymboree, Target, Walmart, Limited too and Jcpenney then to Staples for some supplies!!
They do this every year and it helps us so much! And with JcP's big sale this weekend, that is where we are headed first!!
Math Homework=Messy House
just plain stinks! I spent close to 3 hours today just doing practice tests to get me ready for a big quiz that is due on Sunday. I NEED an A in this class. No ifs, ands or buts about it, I MUST get an A! School costs way to much money for me not to do my best.
But spending so much time doing homework means less time for house work. The house is not in too bad of shape. There are about 8 loads of laundry to wash, and the kitchen is a mess but the rest isn't too bad. Tomorrow I will unload and reload the dishwasher and get in some laundry while the Diva is at a birthday party.
I think once we are on our feet after September and know where things are headed we will hire someone to come in once a month and CLEAN the entire house!! That would be heaven. Ohh well tomorrow is a crazy busy day so I better head to bed!!
Friends
I have this amazing friend named Amanda! We have never met but we have been friends (online) since the beginning of 2007. We both have September 2007 babies. Well since we became friends I think we have spoken EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. She is one of my best friends. I mentioned to her the other day how I needed to find a kick ass deal on peanut butter and today in the mail I received 5 jars of peanut butter!!! My own family members wouldn't do that!! If you click on her name, you'll get to her blog!
Dishes
I hate hate hate dishes. They could pile up to the ceiling, and all around me and I would be fine with it. I also hate hate hate unloading the dishwasher. If I could hire a person to come over every other day and empty my dishwasher I would pay them 100.00 each time! I absolutely despise this chore. I have been working on my homework all day as well as trying to spend time with the kids and cleaning up the other rooms that get neglected when I worry about the dishes.
SO Mr. Messy and I sat down to dinner...re-heated pizza and the first words outta his mouth are, "Why are there so many dirty dishes?" He thinks that because he hasn't been here at all these past few evening to eat dinner that there shouldn't be a mess in the kitchen. He apparantly thinks we don't eat or eat like dogs out of one bowl on the floor because according to him there is no reason for dishes to be in the sink.
Never mind that the laundry is almost done and PUT AWAY, which is a HUGE feat for me. The backyard is cleaned and ready for the landscaper tomorrow AND I took the garbage out for him, brought it to the curb as well so he wouldn't have to...OHHHH And his work clothes, down to the undies and socks are folded in a pile, with 2 fresh towels in the bathroom for him so he was all set for work in the morning. And the only thing he can muster to me is about the fricken dishes!
It's funny because this post really goes along with the title of my blog though. Oh well. I was hoping to cuddle up in bed with him and watch a movie but instead I need to go load the fricken dishwasher.
