Hi All,
Well I made it to Curves last night and put in another good sweaty workout. I think I might have to do that again today. I took a personal day to spend time with my hubby for my birthday on Sunday. Well he started a new job this week and has to work today. Which is fine with me, I understand that part. But when he told me last night that he was going to work extra hours today, since I was home to get his three young children off the bus, that just kind of hurt me a little. Don't get me wrong, I love my twin stepsons' and stepdaughter. But there are times when I would just like to spend a little bit of quiet time with my hubby. I don't get to see or spend much time with him in the evenings because of me still teaching and he down at the baseball fields all the time. Then to put the icing on the cake so to speak, he told me that I was going to have to pick up the house and clean it today, since we have to have an appraisal done on our house for our home improvement loan. That wouldn't have ticked me off that bad if he didn't put on there the last comment he did. Which was if you want to go hiking tomorrow afternoon with the kids and me for your birthday, you need to clean the house today. What a lovely thing to do on my day off from school. So I guess if I get the house clean I am going to need to go and blow off my steam at Curves this afternoon. Enough venting from me. Sorry it has been quite a week at school with my teen-aged special needs students who have been rebelling this week about doing work.
Didi congrats on quitting smoking. I bet it has been tough going there for a few days. But it sounds like you are well on your way to better health! Have you tried chewing a piece of gum instead of eating? That might help your food cravings.
Iwunder01, welcome to our group! So if you make you goal of 150 times, what are you going to reward yourself with? Besides a fitter body and better health!
Hope everyone else is having a wonderful day!
I better go and get started on cleaning the house. Atleast once I get it done than it is done. But my dh is going to be the one to clean it after his kids spend the weekend with us and mess it up again. They are really good at taking food and walking around with it to eat it. Then leave their plates, wrappers and glasses whereever. Plus they love to play with things and then drag out a ton of toys and sports equipment and leave it lay whereever. But if I say or ask them to pick up after themselves, their daddy says that I am being mean and need to pick up after them. But I was taught growing up if you played with it or eat, drank out of it you put it back in the right place. I was doing this when I was 5 years old, it taught responsiblity. His children are 7 and 9. So I think they are old enough to pick up after themselves, since they have to do that at school anyway. It is that TOM for me and I feel crappy and moody. So I think it just going to be one of those weekends!
Well you all have a wonderful weekend!
Take care,
Kerry
