Was not thinking

Today I received a SparkPeople Appointment Reminder, that one week from today is my brother Ralph birthday.

I guess I forgot to delete it.


I had to update this blog.
Day is not going well, my SIL called her nephew, aged 23 just died. My nephew's cousin only 9mos apart. He was a sweet boy...I guess really a man. Just so young.

Losing steam

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

I am just losing steam.

This week the children were off from school. I have had some fun with them this week. Family over on Monday afternoon had a lovely time.

I knew this week would be tough in figuring what to do for cardio workouts since I won't take the kids to the gym. I can use my own weights for strength workouts. I been playing Wii and dancing to music but you know just not the same. I would have taken the kids to the HS track but they had play-dates at awkward times so it never workout.

But today, my DH took off from work. So, I had the opportunity to go to the gym. I was so excited, looking forward to some cardio and strength training. But once I was there I don't know what happen to me? I just could not get into anything. I did only six strength routines really struggling to do the third sets of all six. And cardio? Geees could not do anymore than resistant 10 on the elliptical and fizzled out after 35 minutes. I am sure the sleepless nights are getting to me. I been feeling "different" lately too. I am keeping up with my veggies, fruits, vitamins and water intake. I know I am fueled properly. I still look forward to my workouts. So, I know it is not burn out or being bored with my routine either.

It has to be the lack of sleep. Well, I hope it is anyhow. This way I can try and figure out a solution.

I am just losing steam.

Yes, he loves me...

Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Well, I planned Valentine's Day meals this morning. I knew DH made reservation to eat at a local Polish restaurant. So, I made sure I ate light, low cal and low fat and get this NO snacks either. I knew what I was going to order, including side dishes and dessert. I stayed on track and did not go over my nutrition range.

We got the kids cards and put made up gift cards to spend $14.00 (DH's idea) because Valentine's day is on the 14th! Cute & odd but still cute. The children were so happy...more DSI games for Logan and another Monster High doll for Sylvia. Barely got the gift when they already decided how to spend their money. (their Father trait...I am a saver).

However, the best part of today was my chocolate candy treats. I got, per my request, chocolates from my DH. I figure I eat it in moderation within the week and share with my family. But the real surprise was that DH went out of his way to buy 70% cocoa smooth dark chocolates for me. Wow, he actually remembered my speeches about articles I read from SP. I asked for chocolates but he took it a step further. Now that is the real present...I know he loves me!

Happy Valentine's Day Spark Friends!

I read a blog....

A fellow spark buddy (cmj4v13) blog about a site on street poetry by Scottish artist Robert Montgomery. I really like this one (#13):

"The people you love become ghosts inside of you and like this you keep them alive"


It put tears in my eyes.
