I ran this morning, but just 1.5 miles and it was tough! I tried to run while we were there, but it was just too hard to find time. Meh. So, that explains why today’s run was not the best! I’m sure it will be no time at all before I’m being mistaken for a Kenyan. Ok, that was a stretch!

I weighed myself, in TOTAL fear, and you know what? No change! So I basically just stalled for a couple of weeks I guess. My official weigh in is today, so we’ll know for sure in about 5 hours. Eek! I ate pretty well yesterday… really well until I ate some chocolate chip cookies. I have to remember I am not on vacation anymore!

So TBL last night was weird. Vicky was all nice. WTF? And, I fell asleep just after the challenge so I don’t know the weigh in results. Grrrrrrrrr! I’m gonna look in just a sec. It’s the ONE show I watch and I can’t even stay awake for it! I need tivo…

And, I still haven’t constructed the email, but I am going to do that today. Yesterday was busy because the fractured son got to go to the doc for a recheck and now his cast is GONE! Which means basketball will be a lot more fun now that he can actually play. And since I was on vacation, I was elected Team Mom. Oh lord help us. I am the worst procrastinator so I hope I can pull this off. What the heck does it even entail?!? I need a checklist or something! I am great with lists…

Hope all you chickies have a great Wednesday!!!

I had a fall out that has not yet come to a conclusion with my ex husband and his wife. She is the rudest, most manipulative person sometimes. I take it and take it, and then it festers and festers, and the BLAM! Explosion. Saturday night = explosion. She text messaged me, called, and emailed, and I have not yet responded because this happens every time. She plays the victim and I feel bad, forgive her, and then nothing changes. This time I am going to construct a long email detailing every little thing that bothers me. Like my sister said, it is easy for people to treat you like a doormat when you let them, and so I need to set up some boundaries. Well, I intend to do just that. The goal is to wait until I am not livid to do it, otherwise I will just be a complete bitch and shred her, which FYI: I am so good at. But, that is not appropriate and I intend to take the highroad. I think that once all of this is taken care of I will have SO much stress gone.

Hope you chickies all had a happy Thanksgiving!!!

The two day roadtrip went rather well actually, and my eating was decent. WAY WAY WAY better than it ever has been on a roadtrip before, that is for certain. We are currently at my Dad’s house, where I just consumed an “old me” breakfast” (whoops!). ARGH! I did eat a little less than I would have before, but a very little bit less And no run as of yet. The hubby is going to map me out one in just a bit and as soon as this mound of food settles I’m off! We’re having lunch at my ex husbands today, so that should be fun. They just got a new house and I am excited to see it. I know, weird situation. Meh. Anyway, after that we’ll be headed to my Mom’s for the night. Pray for my sanity. I have lots more to talk about, but the boys are in the jacuzzi and it makes me nervous!!! They think they are so cool!

Hope all you chickies are on track and having a wonderful weekend!!!

We FINALLY got all packed up and ready to go in the morning… the suitcases are loaded, pillows and blankets ready for the men in their seats, their toy back packs are packed, and the dvd players are set up for their viewing pleasure! Hopefully it will keep the QUIET! I even let them buy new games for their Nintendos, and little man got Wall-E. I know, I’m a sucka. I went to the commissary and got plenty of good food for the trip, so it looks like the only time we’ll need to eat out at all is dinner for two nights. Sa-weet! I am really, really hoping to stick to my good habits on this trip. It’s so hard to go home. I get emotional because I miss it, and since I am an emotional eater that equals bad news. Well, and my mother kinda drives me nuts too, but that usually is better solved with a Bud Light than a HoHo! hehe

I went for a run this morning and it was so hard, like my legs were weighted down or something. I really think I just wasn’t hydrated well. I have been sneaking in the diet coke and skipping the water. Note to self: diet coke is the devil. Eating was on plan today, with the exception of a couple of those disgusting, waxy chocolate donuts my kids love. Damn them for not eating them all!!!

I’ll try to write tomorrow, but we’ll be on the road so I’ll see how it goes. I hope you chickies are all doing oh so well, and that you have a GREAT weekend!!

Food was on target today (easy when I lose weight… I get encouraged) and don’t expect anything to change as the night goes on. I am getting my resting metabolic rate tested the Friday after we get back from Oklahoma, so I am stoked about that. It will be nice to see where I am at on that. The nutritionist I talked to (who is doing it) thinks I may not be eating enough calories and that is why my weight loss is slow. I’m at about 1600 calories… and would LOVE to add more and lose weight!! Ha! Wouldn’t we all?!

Well, I gotta jet. I have LOTS to do before our 1400 mile road trip! OMG, I am so beyond excited!!!

Night, chickies!

Today was a CRAZY day. My son hurt his wrist wrestling with my other son last night. I put some ice on it, gave him an aleve, and sent him to bed. He wasn’t complaining this morning until he remembered he had to play his cello. I’m glad he said something or I wouldn’t have made him an appointment for this afternoon. End result: fractured. Crazy, huh? He is so upset that it is in a non signable cast! Oh, and that he can’t play his DS on the drive home. OMG, that kd cracks me up with his video game addiction! Since I was at the doc late, the hubbs made dinner. Yummo! He is the grilled chicken king. After dinner I went for my skipped run. It was about 1.9 miles according to tiny2be’s website suggestion (thanks!) and since it wasn’t too long, I tried to increase my speed. I seriously felt like I was flying on the way back. I wish I would have timed myself, even loosely. Oh well! One of these days I’ll get a kick ass heart rate monitor and do that. For now I am just glad I can run 2 miles and think it is easy! I remember when that kicked my ass!

Alright, I suppose that is all for today, chickies. Hubbinator is ready to get his 30 Day Shred on! I love that he does this with me Oh, and getupnow, thanks for the compliment, but seriously… if I were to post a naked pic you would be able to tell! I weigh almost 60 pounds more than you!! (Although maybe not a lot of that is insulation, cause I am constantly freezing my booty off!).

Night!!

Happy Monday, chickies!

more animals

So we saw the Last Comic Standing tour… hilarious! Would have been funnier if I would have had more to drink, but I limited myself to one because I was trying to stay with in my allotted range. Had I known there would be drive through action there definitely would have been more liquor flowing!! Here’s a pic my son took of us last night before we left. I have the cutest hubby, EVER!

We clean up pretty nicely. Okay, that’s it for me. I need to make some chicken noodle soup so we can just heat it up for dinner. We’re taking the boys to a movie at 4 and I know they’ll be STARVING when we get home.

Happy Sunday, chickies!!
