Poking my head out of my hole to say hello
I’ve been purposely avoiding all of you ladies. Really, I’ve been avoiding myself. But the time has come to face facts, shape up and get on with what needs to be done. I’ve been so busy the past two weeks with the funeral and my friend coming into town, I haven’t been to the gym, I haven’t been mindful of what I’ve been eating (well, that’s not exactly true. I think to myself “I shouldn’t eat that” but do it anyway), and I am feeling it. Not to mention that the baby hasn’t been sleeping well since we got back from the funeral so that means momma hasn’t been sleeping well. That contributes to my general feeling of ickiness.
So changes start this weekend!! I actually have a training session at the gym tonight to “kickstart” me back into to routine. I am going to actually make a real grocery list with a real menu of next weeks meal (I usually do that but have been totally slacking lately) and going grocery shopping tomorrow! I will be bringing my lunch with me all week next week at work… I mean, all my friends have been laid off so what’s the point of going out to eat. I have 2 more training sessions scheduled for next week and will get my ass moving EVERYDAY!! Whether it be at the gym or a walk around the lake or just Debbie Siebers’ Slim and Six Pack, I will do SOMETHING!!!! I have a goal date of October 31. Not sure what my goal is though…. weight loss, yes, but I’m not sure how much. I need to figure that out. 20lbs would be a good goal, I’m sure. I am going to try to kick the soda habit (again). I did really well the beginning of the year but have slipped back into bad habits. I can tell too… my skin is showing it. But I’ve needed the caffine lately. I might as well just inject Diet Coke into my veins with the amount I drink. I did buy an Iced Tea Pot this week so I will be making Iced Tea much more often than I did before.
I have missed you guys. I am looking forward to getting caught up on what everyone has been doing.
Thanks for all of your kind words in regards to my family’s loss.
