New Week

Getting the kids ready for the day is completely like pulling teeth.  They are pokey and complain like it was their job.  It get's tiresome listening to them.  They have they're last after school program with one of two they have after school.  If I get myself together I will get to the gym after work to ride the bike and stretch out.  I would have completely forgotten until I drove by the place on my way to work, then I'd have mentally kicked myself for forgetting.  Gotta go, times flying away.

Got to the gym today!

Rootbeer and Crush go to a after school activity, which ends next week, but anyways, I got to go to the gym and get some time on the stationary bike and stretched too.  I'm glad about that.  I want to get myself in there at least three times a week.  We shall see....


I just finished the Lost TV series and it was real great.  I cried with sappy tears. I will be real sad next year when Law and Order will be no more.  At least that what I heard on the radio, that after 20 years it's over.  At least the other two will stay on for the time being.  Everything ends though, right...

I have been feeling real tired the last few days...must be my change of pace.

I'm an Auntie again:)

My sister has had her son, 7lbs, ?ozs this morning at 7:30.  It was fairly quick, especially compared to her firstborn's birth...She dropped off my niece last night and they went to the hospital, she got an epidural around 2am and had a rest until 7am, then pushed for 20-30 mins and birthed her son...who is not yet named...but her spouse said she'll be staying in the hospital for another day and then she'll go home.  Java's spouse-I'll call him Tim- is going to come pick up Edie soon...and his mom will be coming to stay and help them for a few days.  I'm glad.  A new baby and a three year old will be a handful and an adjustment to get used to.

I am so gassy today...I'm trying to remember what I ate that is making me so gassy but I can't think of it at the moment. 

So I am wanting to get the clutter of my home downstairs to the basement so I can at least have a decent home where I won't be embarrassed to have people in the place.  I have a buffet thing which is a clutter magnet that has a missing drawer that I plan to throw away soon.  I am going to just get some boxes and pack up the clutter-throwing away as I can-and put it downstairs.

So I want to keep on track with my eating today. I only want to eat within my points as I have used up all my weekly points already.  I need to get some activity in too...I'll get there.  I CAN DO IT!

I gained 2 lbs this week

It's good it's not more.  I have not been on plan at all these last few days, so really what do I expect?  It's simple math right, too much in becomes a gain, eat less than you use and it's a loss.  Anyways, today I will make a plan to follow the weight watchers plan...really that is what I have to do.  I got myself a WW pedometer to see about what I activity I do to earn any extra points and so far I haven't earned any activity points...no big surprise though.

We as a family went to see the last Shrek movie in 3D and it was impressive.  You have to pay extra to see it in 3D, but it was very cool.  Makes it worth going to the theatre to see a movie on the big screen.  I think the extra is for the glasses you have to use...so if I buy them I'm keeping them. 

I've decided to clear the clutter out of my main floor and take it downstairs so at least the main floor is descent.  Sometimes i think what I should do with old boxes of stuff downstairs is just garbage them so I can put other stuff down there, but Coke Zero says we should go through them to make sure there is nothing valuable in them...of course he's right, but ... just to make some space...

What ideas do you have?

Coke Zero and I will be married for 10 years this August and I want something special.  First thought was of jewelry, then I thought of furniture for the house, then I thought of renovations to the house...then thing is I don't think we can spend a whole lot.  I originally thought of a cruise where all of us as a family could go...we don't have the money for that for sure...we don't want to use credit...we didn't use it well in the beginning of our marriage and racked up a lot of debt and had to file bankruptcy and a proposal which we still have a couple of years on the credit report to deal with.  We have one credit card and we are going to switch it out so it'll be in Coke Zero's name and not mine just to build his credit back up. 

I have not been focused on my weight loss at all.  I am just eating whatever and I am sure I gained.  My work is a busy place so I may have lost something...but I don't know for sure.  Why am I spending money to follow plan when I am not actually doing it?  I have decided to go to the gym so I can exercise.  If I continue to send my kids to the early drop off at the school I could plan on going to the gym and do some riding the bike, maybe some weights...we'll see.  There is a leisure center on my way to work that I just discovered is easier to get to than the one that I thought was closest.  :) 

Repeat Dream?

I had a repeat dream last night, it didn't vary from what I remembered.  I find dreams so busy and hard to describe all the details.  I know I dreamt it before in it's entirety.  That is not a common thing for me...it usually has changes.  Who dreams in color?  in a blandness that has slight color?  that one is me...there is little color in my dreams.  It's not black and white.  I don't find myself remembering them like when I was younger, is that common?  I'm not that old, just 36 right now.

Coke Zero has gone out for the first time is a while.  He's hanging out with some co-workers that are leaving to go back to eastern Canada.  I'm glad he's hanging out, it literally has been too long since he's hung out with people.  I do miss his presence but whatever, I'll see him tomorrow, and he'll tell me about his time out...it's great.

I am off to bed.  I should do some dishes...there are very little clean ones but I want to sleep...I can get to them in the morning.  Who does all their dishes before going to bed?  Who is an organized person?  Not me...I am needing to work on my discipline in so many areas of my life...as I mentioned in today's earlier blog post.  exercise, food, money, budgeting, housecleaning, child rearing...so many things to get better.  How do we do everything?

It's my Friday:)

I booked tomorrow off as Rootbeer and Crush don't have school.  But I could have worked as Coke Zero will be home too, only I'm pretty sure I'm scheduled to work Monday(in Canada it's a holiday...)so I'll be making time and a half....anyways the new schedule will be up today...well it better be.

I signed up the kids for summer programs in July, I have to figure out August now.  My dad agreed to help with paying for more summer programs, so that'll be awesome. 

My weight loss journey is having a detour.  I haven't been tracking this week and I have been eating all over the place.  I need to rein it in.   I need to overcome a lot of stuff...and with life being a journey everything that I have issue with is something I have to work on overcoming.  When I've overcome stuff, then other things will come to my attention to overcome...it's just how life is.

I have to work on  housekeeping, disciplining my kids, weight loss...those are what I am focused on at the moment.  I've got to go.  It's time for kids to go to school.  Have a great day people:)
