Seeking Support

I’m here, I’m here! I’ve been somewhat sucked into Restaurant City and some into life.  And, to be honest, I am avoiding the place. I know I need to take some action on the food side of things, and I am just being stubborn or rebellious or something. So if I stay away from here, I can pretend the exercise is enough or some such nonsense!  Weight is staying around 188-190, for almost 3 weeks now.

I need to start logging my food to begin, and I’ve pretty much turned back into the grazing pattern that I thought I broke back in Sept ‘07.   Yuck.

In other news - the Gym -
Jinx had me boxing for the first time today.  Well, I’ve done a little Wii boxing, but not much.  Not feeling much yet, but sure I will tomorrow. I also did my 42 mins on the elliptical without losing my settings.  Which means, I would stop and drink a little water, but I didn’t pause long enough for the machine to go blank - which I think is a minute max.   Most exciting gym news is that they are having a special on training sessions - buy 40 (at a discount) and get a 3 night cruise.  Well the tax refund is due tomorrow, so hubby said ‘find out what you can get for the cruise’ (because it would be too much hassle with the kids and house for us to actually take the cruise).  Gym can’t do anything for me (all paid in advance by corporate), but Jinx will barter 10 training sessions for it. So, 50 half-hour sessions for $700 and I am set for training for 6 more months!  WooooHooooo! Now let’s just hope the feds don’t delay our refund and nobody changes their mind on the gym side of things. I feel a little guilty, of course - that would pay for a lot of karate or my gym or various other things, but not too much because I know me being healthy and sane (relatively) really helps all the family out more than the other things would.

April I only had 11 workouts - my worst month since starting.  It was all in the first half of the month though, and I’m already on #4 for May.  I want to add 1 a week - a yoga tape at home, I can feel my flexibility dwindling.  Too muscle-bound - LOLOLOLOL.

DD is pacifier-free.  It was really only 2 bad nights and 3 bad days and it was over.  Whew.  Now all of a sudden, she’s talking up a storm - of course.  She does have her 8 zillionth cold of the year. She did great for a week (incidently while she was on the Good Belly), then started up again with the snotty nose and this time, a fairly bad night cough.  It is finally really warming up here, so hopefully this might be the last of the cold bugs for a while.

DS is good, we had a play date with 2 other boys this weekand that went ok.  Need to get more foam shields and wrapping paper swords or hide the 2 sets we have before we have 3 here again.

Finally made it Wally-World today and bought a couple of cheap JMS bras - really, truly 42B.  Also a pair of 16/18 clearance shorts from the women’s section - NOT the plus!!   They probably won’t fit after I wash them - but they will soon enough!

I still haven’t watched TBL from this week.  I had an RE team meeting on Wed and somehow got volunteered into designing and printing cards for the kids to decorate for their moms Sunday.  Just finished that, now I just need to fold them.  Still trying to get the 25 tree seedlings into the ground from April 25th - the snow derailed me some, but I’m about half-done now.  I’m sure there’s other stuff I wanted to touch on - but there’s the highlights.  I’ll be about to comment tomorrow, after I watch TBL!!
