Well then!

Omg, cant believe its been since Jun 3rd, that I was on here last! Lots of things happening and the diet is going good. I weigh the least I have in 8+years (plus 2 pants sizes smaller in just the last couple of months!!), The kids being out of school now put a little crimp in going to the gym, its not as fun when you just cant get the kids off to school, and go every morning on your own time, but Ive been eating really healthy, and it shows!! Well, its almost time for work, but I felt guilty leaving my blog to itself for almost a month now. lol

Snakes, Bugs, and squirrels.......oh my!

Yesterday was Caden's trip to a 4-H camp they go to a few times a year at school. We had gone up there in the fall and built a "peep" shelter, a peep is a small "person" made of all natural things, such as sticks, bark, leaves etc. So, yesterday we headed up to the camp, and we were greeted by 100 million mosquito flying all around us....I knew from the moment I got there it was going to be Hell on Earth so much fun. While the 2nd graders did their circle time and such, us adults go to get outta the bugs and go inside to find out schedules and how the day was going to be run. After 50 miles a little walk the counselor started pointing out some plants and different fungus of the forrest, it was actually pretty neat. After a Long ass time lovely short stroll in the woods, we finally headed out to the spot where we had built our peep shelters months ago, to see how they had survived the winter months. Caden and I must be good builders, because it was EXACTLY how we had left it before winter, it was really neat to go back. Then it was time for lunch and closing performances. Our group was the "Storytellers" so the kids had to put on a short play for the other groups, they did a Broadway performance good performance for only practicing for a few mins. After every group had done their presentation for the others, it was time to go back to the real world again. My son was so happy that I went, and I was so happy that these people had BUG HATS, I didnt care what I looked like, those Bugs from Hell cute little bugs couldnt suck the life out of me.
Here is a few pics from our time there.....

Once again, I have been too tired and lazy Busy with work and children to write on my blog. I havent had a whole lot going on lately, besides sweating my ass off getting a hot new body. Sometimes I wonder what the hell I have started, but then I get a compliment or twenty that make it all worth while!
Wow, I really have nothing to say tonight, please let something happen that will turn this blog around!! Maybe a drink or three would loosen me up some.....

Caffeine IV?

I dont know if anyone even reads this still, but thought I would write and say Im sorry for being M.I.A lately. Ive been really busy, between working out, working, the kids, dinner, laundry, dishes, and well.........life!
Not much to write about, I just figured I would stop by and visit my lonely blog. I promise I will have stuff to write about soon.......and maybe by next Monday Ill have another Not Me Monday, since I missed it this week (kinda like.....AHEM...... my bloggy friend LANA over @ The Kids Did WHAT!) She's also been MIA for awhile now, and I miss her!!
Ok, so now that I have bored you to literal tears I am going to bed to get some much needed sleep......night all!

1 Week down.....Nothing tastes as good as thin feels......repeat.......

I have had the most tiring but inspiring week! I started working out last Monday, and I have run/walked/worked out everyday since then (ok, I lied, I took Mother's Day off, but that it, I swear!) I actually feel pretty good, and as tired as I get after being at the gym, somehow I am getting more stamina, and work through the tiredness to keep going thru the day. I dont consider myself to have an obsessive nature, but apparently I do.........first it was with food, but now it seems to be with working all that food off. I think I have a pretty happy attitude by nature, but I have missed out on truly enjoying life, because I let food control who I am, what I wore, and where I went. I WANT to be able to go to the store, see a cute shirt and just pull it off the rack, and wear ANY color I want. For years now (and I mean probably 13 or more) I have worn almost all black, because I was ashamed of what had become of my body. I was always skinny, I was a size 6 in 1995, and by 2003 I was in the double digits pant sizes. Almost 2 yrs ago I decided to eat a little healthier and I managed to lose almost 40 lbs, and keep it off, but I still have about that much to lose, and maybe more.
This blog wasnt started to be a weight loss blog, but thats just where it might be heading........

Oh my aching ........legs

I knew I would be sore this morning, I just didnt know how sore I would be. ug. HOWEVER.......I am very proud of myself and still did a 25-30 minute brisk walk when I got the kids all off to school this morning. for once in my life I feel like this is IT. I need to do this for my health and for my own self esteem. Of course, it doesnt help when people say "you dont need to lose weight" HA HA!! very funny!! I must hide my weight well sometimes, because I still need to lose about 65 lbs and I still wouldnt be stick skinny, but I would be "normal".
Im going back to Booty camp tomorrow, I may not make it out alive.....so wish me luck!!

Not Me Monday

Not Courtesy of McKmamma over at my charming kids


1. I did not go to "Booty Camp" this morning, and I did not have more fun that I expected.

2. I did not avoid running with everyone else so they would not see my big butt shake.

3. I was not paranoid about my body the whole time, not feeling like a bull in a china shop.

4. I did not feel like throwing up a couple times during class.

5. I did not take the easy route and use 2 and 3 pound weights, while everyone else did not use 5 pounds and up.

6. I am not looking forward to the next class, because I felt so good not doing things for my health.

Ok, so these are not very good today.......but class was fun and Im ready for more (I think) hehe
