And the beat goes…
Uncategorized February 19th, 2009Well, I am happy to report my run was a good one last night. YAY! I am sad to report that I was as slow as a snail. Grrrrrrrrr I was on the phone with my best friend this morning and it just so happens that we ran the exact amount of time last night… but I ran 4.13 miles and she ran 6.8. wtf?! Ah, one of these days I will be super speedy, too. At least that is the hope. I just keep telling myself that right now it is about endurance and not speed. I am adding miles so I need to keep it steady.
I wish today was my weigh in day, as I weigh 3 pounds less today than I did yesterday. So bizarre, this weight. I think I need to start tracking it daily. Then I could see trends and such. I just don’t want to get all obsessive about it.
I have a three mile run scheduled for today, but I am not exactly sure when exactly I am going to do it. I am taking the boys to the beach this morning so if we get back early enough I can do it this afternoon. I have to make an early dinner though, as my hubby has class tonight and my All Star has practice. We should be home from that around 8, and I could do it then, but past experience shows that putting things off don’t usually work so well for me. Although, in my defense, I have run the past 2 nights in a row. We’ll see!
I am super proud of my calories the past 2 days! I am totally rebounding from the kiss nightmare. I got emailed my brother’s baby mama yesterday and she spilled the beans. I was kind of short in my reply… not rude, but short and I hope I didn’t hurt her feelings. She is just out in lala land! She thinks this is gong to be fun, and that he is going to be there, and I know I haven’t talked to him yet, but I can tell just by what she is saying that he isn’t. I feel like someone should tell her. She hasn’t talked to him in days and he hasn’t returned her calls. HELLO! There’s a pretty big clue! Let me be pregnant with your baby and you not call me for days! Oh no. Anyhow, I am really just wanting to talk to him. He knows that I am gonna freak out and that is why he won’t call me. I am like his Mom and he really doesn’t like to disappoint me. I have always been the one to hold him accountable (mostly) for his actions (or inaction) and so I always know when he is screwing up cause he disappears.
Alright, I am off to the beach to play in the sand with my little misters, so that they grow up knowing they are fabulous, and smart, and loved, and so that they hopefully do not have the issues that my brother has. Happy Thursday, chickies!
**************************
Well today was… a day. Actually the first half was fab. I took the boys to the beach and we had a blast. But then dinner was late, we were rushed to practice, and I had a domestic dispute with a sleepy 6 year old. UGH. I still feel guilty for not resolving it before he fell asleep. And then I got the WORST cramping belly. I tried to run anyway, and I lasted 8 minutes
I will make it up tomorrow. I did do good on calories, and so this makes 3 days in a row. Oorah!
Night chickies!

Sorry to hear about your brother being such a butt- next time you talk to him I’d tell him to at LEAST get a vasectomy if he doesn’t want to deal with kids and so on.
Unfortunately they won’t change till they want to- but hopefully he doesn’t keep dragging children into this.
I’d totally tell this girl be ready to raise a kid on your own! Maybe she should ask for child support through the courts- I know it’s your brother and all but that might make him realize he can’t just do whatever if he knows he owes money to someone he might start realizing hmmm it’s time for me to grow up…
Good luck.

WOW! Look at you going strong! Way to control the chow, girl. Yay is right, so keep it up and kiss those pounds ‘goodbye’.
I prefer to weigh myself daily. I like to keep on top of it and really don’t want to wait until a weekly weigh in to find I never lost when I could have upped the exercise right away when I saw a certain weight sticking around for more than 3 days. Makes me put a little more effort in, that’s for sure! To each their own, but it’s certainly not a compulsion to weigh daily, I prefer to use it as yet another source of motivation to push myself more than I normally would. Is this some strange type of psychology I’m using on myself?
No offense, but you have to let your brother do his own thing. You got your husband and boys, your own family now, whom you are dedicated to. Yes, he is your brother, of course you love him, but he is not who comes first in your life any longer. You can be there for him, stand by him, and support him as long as it doesn’t interfere with your own family. You can kick his butt when it’s required, but he has to be able to take care of his own shit!(not meaning to offend you
ok?
You sound like a sweet mom and I’m sure your boys will turn out fine!
