have you ever wanted to b*#ch slap a yoga instructor?

Tuesday, December 06, 2011

me neither, til today....it had been coming. i have a FANTASTIC job that allows me to work out 1 hour 3 times per week. i'm on a schedule. the class is a 50 min class and is a 5 min walk from the office. should be easy right? WRONG! this chick addresses one of my biggest pet peeves....those who don't value others' time. my time is valuable. your time is valuable. behave accordingly.

often she doesn't start on time so i had adjusted the time in which i go over from 1015 (supposed start) to 1030. i get there at 1030 today and she's sitting on the floor b.s.'ing with folks from her previous class. SERIOUSLY!?!?!! completely unprofessional. i left the class....

what to do now, make lemonade. how do you make lemonade in the gym with flip flops on? hmmmm. got it...stationary bike and hand weights.

note to self...ditch the idea of attempting to guess her schedule, find my own damn zen and always bring kicks to the gym

Day two for real

Tuesday, December 06, 2011

yesterday went well. followed my spark trackers, even on my phone. fell off the wagon a little for my evening meal. my daughter was dying to go to this awesome little family diner here in town. i got the mushroom swiss burger, but i got a kids meal sized burger instead of the huge monster thing.

didnt get to walk to trail in the neighborhood that i was soooooooo looking forward to because of the rain, but i'm staying motivated.
doing pilates and yoga today to make up for it.

my boyfriend is diabetic and we are using the same meal plans. i've prepped all his meals for the day while we are apart so i'm going to enjoy this journey together.

  

here i go again

Monday, December 05, 2011

so i strayed from the spark for some time. i have 1000 excuses, that are irrelevant, but i'm back. will need spark more than ever to not turn into a slop sandwich.

apparently now, i'm literally just above average weight for a woman my age. problem is, i'm not average. never been average. want to be hot again, and healthy for the long run so i can keep being hot. not just physically, mentally, and emotionally. urg

to manage the mental thing, i'm back in school and just finished my first semester. did well.

kids are all making me a little crazy, but that is what teenagers are programmed to do. i couldn't have had those unattractive, uninvolved, home body kids. i got balls the walls, hot, athletic kids who keep me going like a mad woman.

got a new job, better money, closer to home. yay me.

NOT yay for the seriously naive chick who works in the same office and BABYTALKS! i may turn to comfort food to shut that crap up in my head and prevent myself for explaining to her in a very condescending way that we are all biggie girls. she just told a military pilot comgwaduashuns for an accomplishment that she achieved. i don't even know how else to write that phonetically.

so i'm back to following my rules
rule number 1 - LIVE OUT LOUD every day
rule number 2 - say what you mean and mean what you say ALWAYS
rule number 3 - take care of me as well as i take care of my family
rule number 4 - always leave room for more rules

Sometimes people wear a veneer to mask their insecurities and their choice of mask may not be to our liking. I had a few annoying co-workers that drove me crazy but that I had to get along with. For the most part, they were nice people who just marched to the beat of a different drummer. Seeing them in that context made them more human - and, if not completely likable, certainly a lot more tolerable! Report Inappropriate Comment

day two

not feeling extremely motivated to write today...but keeping promise to self.

  

my journey ....day one

Wednesday, June 16, 2010

this journey is not just about weight loss. it's just a tiny part. i'm knockin on the 40 door, post failed marriage of 17 yrs, 3 great kids, a story like thousands of others...only i'm like a hurricane waiting to bust onto the coast.
somewhere in the last 20 years i have lost parts of the dynamic, adventurous, 'why-not?' kind of girl that i once was. i settled into the life of responsibilities, calendars, and coupons. my goal of this journey is for these two girls to meet in the middle and be the fabulous girl that i know i am....

rule number 1 - LIVE OUT LOUD every day
rule number 2 - say what you mean and mean what you say ALWAYS
rule number 3 - take care of me as well as i take care of my family
rule number 4 - always leave room for more rules
