Holy crap, is it really over?

Sunday, December 09, 2007

I just can't believe that yesterday finally came to an end! It was one of the longest days of all time. 5 kids really wear you out! I just am laying low and waiting for something to jump out at me... now if yesterday wasn't birth control- I don't know what is! God bless those who have 5 children, I don't know how you get anything done!

BUT THEY HAD FUN! AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS! And the memories they will have of their big sister/aunt will live in their hearts forever... and that my friends, was worth it!

I have one 2 y/o and she's birth control. Let's just say the twos are HELL and I've heard the threes are worse. So I'm preparing!!! At least you survived!!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Dear Santa...

Friday, December 07, 2007

I want you to be the bribe for these children to behave accordingly and not give me any grief.... HA! LOL! Hopefully that works.

So today is the day... at 12:00 I am going to go pick up; Aubrey (10), Jeremy (8), Jexson (6), Trinity (4) and Aly (3)... and taking them to the mall to see Santa.... I know its going to be an adventure! Afterward they are all coming to my house to spend the night, so they have to behave. I guess its good practice for my future, right?

So, since I have an adventurous day ahead of me, I thought it wise to get up early to come get some strength training and posting done! It seems like December has been a little easier for me to stay on track- maybe its the new challenge I am doing with the "need a committed buddy...interested" team? Who knows? But it seems to be working!

At least December is working for someone... seems like here this December, my body wants to store fat so I don't freeze. Am I a bear or something? Well good luck to you. I want to weigh what you do for Christmas! :) Report Inappropriate Comment

Dear DnJen471, that IS a good workout. Last week I babysat for 3 kids 3 years and under and I was exhausted afterward. I'm also getting over this sore throat, cough, etc but managed to keep up my exercise on all but the very sickest days. Good luck to you and your efforts to get and keep weight off.

blah, blah, blah, cramps!

Wednesday, December 05, 2007

Um okay... so muffincake was right, I need to be happy about my pound lost and stop complaining! Today is even better then yesterday was... I am definitly feeling better, just really cold today (may still have a slight fever) but at least my throat isn't killing me anymore.

Cramps! I hate having cramps! Need to take some pain reliever then I will be a-o-k!

I know when close friends hang out alot their TOM starts at the same time.....can that happend with blogging friends too?? Cuz TOM over here?!?!?!?!? Yes chickie, you need to be happy for every little step you take, no matter how small or big. And even the step-backs that happen, they are learning experiences that you too should be happy about because they help make you stronger.....so it's all good =) Report Inappropriate Comment

Down 1 pound...

Tuesday, December 04, 2007

I know I should be excited the scale moved one pound... but I think I am frustrated because #1... its TOM so I know there is a huge possibility that the scale is not correct and it should be showing more of a loss #2... I am so darn close to being under 200 that I can taste it... so my patience is thin today.... I can blame it on the hormones...
Anyway... on a plus side I woke up this morning feeling much better then I did yesterday! So I am going to work out and then off to work I go! Hope everyone has a great day!
