Blah,Blah,Blah ...

I've been ... gone, mentally! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! Yes, I may be going through a crisis, I may just be having a bad hair day, but whatever it is - I WANT FOOD. Namely - Dark Chocolate, Brown Sugar Pop-Tarts, Blue Bunny's, Bunny Tracks Ice Cream and Nana's Texas Chocolate Sheet cake. Okay - this is a crisis!

I haven't been back on myfitnesspal either. This week was spring break and I was suppose to get things organized - but I didn't. I made ribbon roses and cleaned (like always) and worked two days. But - I have decided that I want to become a professional crafter when I grown up. I want to make cards, and sew aprons and handbags, scrapbook and paint my walls. I don't want to be a grown up anymore!

But ... reality! I am a grown up and a mom. Lately I've noticed that my eating habits have filtered to Mary. She snacks all the time! And doesn't even realized what she's eating. The other day I yelled her for eating all her birthday cake (a two tiered chocolate montrosity, that Dan made), but then I realized that I'm the one that probably taught her to eat like that - I do that, that's how I eat.

So, with conviction I say Tomorrow is the first day! I'm staring fresh tomorrow, I'll lead by example and eat right, exericse and get a smaller butt! (And hopefully a daughter without all my problems!)








But on a fun note, that goes along with my aspiration of being a professional crafter, I found this super fun site called The DIY Dish -
Watch Here (They totally sound like Utahans)

Well, maybe if I do become a professional crafter my hands will always be full and I won't be eating! Hey, that's what I'll do ...

PS - Are we all in for Time Out for Women? Please, I hope so!

I have been fat!!!

Ohhh....you said where have you been not what have you been :)

I guess procrastination is a genetic thing because I haven't gotten back on my calorie counter since we talked and I signed up. I need to make my own goal to get organized because I am not organized at all. With work, kids, school and home if I don't get organized I will lose my mind and still be fat!

So my goal is to get organized and get a set schedule for myself daily so I have no excuse not to squeeze in some form of exercise at least 3 times per week.

Love and miss you all!!!

Where have you all been??

What's going on here? It's like a ghost town since I last posted about my plan to get organized and have more time to get in shape. Well to update... I have lost 9 lbs so far and to be honest I didn't really start right away after my last post. But about 4 weeks ago my friend told me about a free calorie counter website called myfitnesspal.com. And that's where I have been. I have gotten organized for the most part so I have made time to workout and I love the website because it keeps track of my food and I can log my exercise and it it's helped me stay motivated. So if if anyone is interested, be my friend!
