It's true you know - April showers bring May flowers as well as "rainy days and Monday's always get me down..." This kind of weather always makes me moody. Last Monday was a gorgeous day! It started off overcast, but then the sun burned through. We spent most of the day outside. The past two days it has been overcast and rainy.
Weather like this also makes me wish I had a treadmill or a gym membership. I've actually been thinking about Jazzercise again. My dilemma as usual is the kiddos; it's not a big worry because they do provide day care, but Denver is still so young I don't know if I want to take him yet. It's also not cheap, there is the monthly Jazzercise fee on top of day care for two kids. Amazing how I can come up with ways to talk myself out of doing something isn't it?! If I mentioned it to Chris he would probably say, "it's not that much money and we can afford it if it's going to make you happy and give you a needed break while I'm gone."
I lost the "same 3 or 4" again this week. I'm down to 196 pounds. I honestly don't know how though. I did not track and I re-discovered the box of chocolates Chris and I had hidden in the cupboard a few weeks ago, so not only do I feel bad about eating so much chocolate but my face is showing it as well. :(
Okay, so I have been working on this post for over 2 weeks now. I log in, type some, and then have to stop because one of the kids needs me. I'm hoping that when we get cable the internet connection will be much faster so that I can hop on and post in seconds rather then minutes; also I'm hoping that livestrong will download much faster (I'd be happy with loading in 2 minutes over the 10 minutes it takes now on top of the constant booting because my service drops).
On the weight front I have been maintaining 196. I guess that's not bad considering I'm not logging or being very conscious of my decisions. Now that Chris is home I've managed a few hot meals. The good thing about summer coming is that sandwiches are so good and quick. Denver is only getting bigger which means the next few months as he learns to eat I won't be eating - LOL.
My best friend Crystal is selling her treadmill and I offered to buy it. I have the perfect spot in my cramped home. It will just fit too...although it will be a bit of an eyesore. I'm hoping it will help to get me motivated. Chris and I have been toying around with the idea of purchasing the P90X or the Insanity workout programs. Denver is now sleeping until 5am and then sometimes goes back to sleep for another hour and a half - perfect time to squeeze in a workout.
That's all the updates I have for now...still maintaining and busier then ever. I'm thoroughly enjoying having Chris home and trying very hard not to think about mid-May when he leaves for 5 months. Interesting times ahead.
Goals:
1. Work on getting more veggies into my snacking. It takes as long to open a container of carrots as to open that bag of chips - right?!
2. Get in some workouts while Chris is home...I'm thinking a month pass to Jazzercise will serve as 1) a nice break from the kids in the afternoon and 2) a good start back into a workout regime.
