Marathon Mom

I couldn’t get the video to embed, but here are some pictures from my very first skydiving jump! It was AWESOME. Seriously like the greatest, most thrilling thing I have ever done. I loved every second of it, wasn’t nervous or scared a bit, and can not WAIT to go again!!

Me with my little sis, she came for moral support. I’m all suited up and ready to JUMP!

Boarding the plane with my instructor, R2.

Free-falling, babeeee!!!

Pullin’ some major Gs!

Better than sex… well, it has been a LONG ASS time since I’ve had sex.

Successful chute deployment. Always a good thing!

One helluva landing!

Rockin’ the windblown look!

You can view the video on my blog: Mommy In Real Life

A.M. weigh in: 147.2 (yeah, yesterday wasn’t stellar)

Tomorrow is IT! The big jump! I am SO excited I can hardly focus here at work!! I’m taking the kids to see Monsters vs. Aliens tonite, so that should help give me something else to think about. I just love digital 3D animation. It’s da bomb (my kids SO hate it when I talk like that - HA!)

Focusing today on healthy eating. Yogurt, prob. sushi and a small salad for lunch. Its those snacks at the movies that get me every damn time, though. I dont’ know why. It’s not like I can afford $50 for a 3 oz box of Junior Mints - but if they’re frozen then I’m totally helpless! My kryptonite!

I fell off the bandwagon and then it ran over me. I’m trying to recover but I see taillights and fear it’s backing up for another go at me.

AM weigh in: 153.6 (OMG seriously?? SERIOUSLY???!!!)

Here’s today’s attempt:

Breakfast - WW strawberry oatmeal (2 pts)
WW chocolate delight bar (2 pts)
Lunch - Jack in the Box chicken fajita pita (6 pts)
WW peanut butter bliss 2 bars  - (2.5 pts)
Snack - WW cheese twisty things (2 pts)
WW fruit n nut granola bar (2 pts)

Total so far: 16.5 pts

My daily limit is 20 pts, which leaves me 3.5 for dinner. Not very realistic. Not that I’m hungry AT ALL. But hunger has had very little to do with my eating lately. I’ve been eating out of anger, frustration and mostly exhaustion. I’m beyond sleep deprived and have reached my limit of physical and mental exhaustion. Spring cleaning the hell out of the house and repainting the major living areas while working 8 or more hours everyday is killing me. BUT I’m almost done!! And then, I can resume a more normal life.

And regardless of weight and goals, I’m going skydiving on Saturday, March 28th!!
