Calm

Last week was all drama wasn't it! This week went better, I started controlling what I eat a bit better again as the drama wreaked havoc on my eating.

I decided to only weight in every two weeks now as going to the clinic is quite out of the way and I don't need to know how much I weight every week and be told the same thing over and over again. I think that concentrating on what I eat and on getting moving is the important part. We've gone for walks and swimming every Sunday for the last three weeks. I don't think we'll be going this week, but it's been quite nice to get out of the house and do some family activities on the weekend after all of the rushing from the week.

Right now, my house looks like a tornado went through it, I think that there isn't one area that is clean, yuck! My whole life still seems to be all over the place too. With the house, it's an easy fix, just take it one step at a time, with me, not so easy. I just bought a book on meditation that I hope will help calm down my anxiety and stress and am working on a cleanup plan for the house so that I don't add that to the things to stress about. But some things, like my kitchen need to be cleaned pronto so it's time to go clean up!

Is there anything in your life that is in dire need of a spring cleaning?

Measurements for mini goal

Ok, so this morning I measured myself as I said I would to guage how much work is ahead of me to fit in my size 15 pants from WalMart. I tried the pants on again to see where they would land on my hips and measured loosely there. My waist is 42 inches. Then I measured the pant lying flat and they are 37 inches at their smallest spot. So I have 5 inches to lose before I fit in them comfortably, less if I cram in them.

Maybe I'll post pictures of the pants and how they don't fit later. First I have to figure out how to do that and have a moment when my husband isn't round so that he won't be question my sanity!

We're off to a crazy weekend as we have a rental car. Tons of fun activities planned, and some much needed shopping for reno related and stocking up stuff. (Yuck, I hate shopping!)

Have a good weekend!

Week in review

Ok, so I haven't posted in a while, so much for wanting to blog every day. I guess that's why they call me a procrastinator!

Ayway, I just noticed I have my first 2 followers, YAY! Hello followers, hope you enjoy my blog!

So, I had a busy week and today I am being totally lazy. Thursday, I had my first belly dancing class. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be! I am not complaining though, I can actually tell that I do have muscles in the abdominal area. Not that I can see them, but they sure did hurt afterwards! And then, Friday, I tried EActive for the Wii, I had borrowed it from a friend to try and I actually enjoyed it a lot. Way better than the Fitness Coach (that's more just a cardio workout, EA is resistance training too!). So lucky me, since it was on sale at Walmart, my hubby bought it for me for Christmas, now, I'm actually looking forward to working out. I figured that not having it for a while will give me a reason to start playing Dance Dance Revolution again. I haven't played that in ages because I'm stuck on one level and can't unlock anything until I beat it. I guess I'll have to start practicing. Finally, yesterday, we brought our son to soccer, then went shopping, and then went to the pool, and in the evening I went to see District 9 with a friend. What a busy few days!

~Pause for movie critic~
District 9... My quick review of the movie... It was a good story that really makes you think about human nature, but I hated the way it was filmed, the camera work made me go queasy.
~Return to regular programming~

So food wise, I did really well until yesterday, so I'll actually have to get off my butt and work out tonight to make up for the extra points I ate.

Ok, so life is calling.
I hope you all have a good week, and make a goal to fit in a lot of activity.
My goal is to do some form of excercise at least 4 times this week.

Laters!
