Hello,
Holy Crappolies, I have actually done three posts on my blog. Woot!
So this week in the totally fascinating life of me and mine, I will be talking about my fat ass, my fat mulberry tree and the new goals I have decided to set for myself.
I don't know if its the awesome weather, or the extreme pain my body has been in the last few weeks but I have decided to get back into shape. I am right now the fattest I have ever been in my life and don't exactly feel that great about it. I have made this goal a hundred times in the past but I have never been in this bad of shape before. Laying the 3ooosq feet of sod a couple weeks ago about killed me. I tweeked my neck, my back always hurts, and my planter facites in my left foot is at an all time high in the pain department, if I sit for any length of time it almost brings me to tears when I put pressure back on it. Sucks big time. Oh and my hands keep going numb when I try to knit. Awesome. Anyhoo I am usually not a whiny cry baby when it comes to pain, but I have never had this many things screwed up on me at once, and I am only 28 for cripes sake. I should be in great shape. That said I have tried to take steps in the right direction to get healthy again. I stopped drinking almost a month ago which is really good because I was up to drinking about four or five nights a week and was starting to go through WAY too much Sailor Jerry's. I guess I thought it was my treat for getting through another day of chaos, fights, chores and more chores, and the occasional screaming child. I ended up drinking more than usual one night and spent the evening curled up on the bathroom floor. I'm not proud of this and the next day after one of the worst hangovers I have EVER had I decided it was time to change. For me and more importantly for my boys. I do not want them growing up thinking they have an alcoholic for a Mom. I want them to have an energetic, fun, loving, and responsible Mommy.
The last month has been good being clean of those toxins but I noticed in the last month I replaced the booze with sugar in the evening. So instead of losing weight after quitting drinking, I have gained. Saweet. Well No MORE. I have decided to cut out the sweets and crap before bed and I am going to start working out again. I did my first session today on the Kinect. I figured I would start by 20 minute sessions everyday and work my way up. It kicked my ass but felt great afterward. So, anybody who reads this keep bugging me about how much I have lost because maybe that will be my motivator :-) Plus my husband said he would put the money up for the rest of my Tattoo to get done if I get down to my goal. So I have a little something to sweeten the deal. Here is a pic of my fat ass now. Hopefully thinner pics to follow.
Okay, on to other things. The stupid f#$%ing Mulberry tree out back has been puking berries all over my clean patio and it's driving me bonkers. We just got all the dirt taken care of in the back by laying sod and as soon as that was done the Mulberry tree goes into full mode dropping it's VERY purple berries all over the patio. The boys ride there trikes all over so you can imagine what thousands of purple berries look like squished all over brick. UGLY. Then it gets tracked into my house where all the white tile with white grout that someone was obviously smoking crack to install in close to 2000sq feet of house is. Anybody who knows me knows that I am a bit of a clean freak. Not nearly as much as some people but I do like things clean and tidy. This floor will be the death of me. I sweep, swiffer, mop and vacuum close to everyday. With two cats, one dog, two little boys, and two big railroad boys it almost has to be done that often. I will be doing everything I can to get this tree to NOT do this next year.
On to a lighter note. The last time Jeremy's mom was here she showed me the basics of knitting. I LOVE it so far and have slowly started learning more. Casting on, knit stitch, purl stitch, binding off. Totally peaceful to just relax and zone out while doing something crafty. I am also going to get our one empty room organized, cleaned out and set up for an Art/craft/reading room. Mommy's room :-) Like a man cave only prettier. I do Calligraphy and have not seriously practiced this for a long time. Sad because I love it. Hopefully if I can get my room together it will inspire me to start doing it again.
So in all this nonsense we are still doing our thing. Jeremy and Jared are working hard at the railroad, and I am on the front line here at the house. In the middle we are still slowly getting the yard fixed up, going to the beach when we can, gardening, and doing shadow puppets before bed. That's my life folks.
PEACE
