Am I Crazy?

Unfortunately I am back close to my highest weight, yes 265 lbs. On a 5'6" frame, this is not a good thing! This yo-you weight gain and loss is driving me crazy. With the impending wedding in December and the thought of having a child next year (plus some other health related problems happening right now), I am making another fresh start on this journey.

I am starting P90X today! I have done some of the workouts for the past two weeks but haven't followed the plan or eaten very healthy. Today is a new day!




Here is Week 1 laid out....

Core Synergistics
Cardio X
Shoulders, Arms, Ab Ripper X
Yoga X
Legs, Back, Ab Ripper X
Kenpo X

I will be posting as I can about eating healthy and following the workout plan. In the meantime, I would like to hear from y'all about your experiences with the program or just getting healthy in general.

Inspire me!

Confession

A few things to confess……….



I am an avid reader of blogs but every time I try to write regularly in mine, I fail.



I fell in love last February and am getting married in December.



I secretly want a big wedding but know the money spent would be better used to have our first child.



I don’t know if I can wait to start trying to have our first child until we get married.



I don’t like my job and know there is something greater out there.



I am going to write more to become better at it.



I am starting my zillionth attempt at a regular blog………..

My New Year's Resolution

....is not to make any New Year's Resolutions.




Yeah, who am I kidding?

1. Blog more. I have been slack in 2010. Ok, I have been downright MIA. Lots have happened. I met the love of my life. No, not the coffee maker. And gained 30 lbs.

2. Learn to speak French. The love of my life speaks French and I think it would be cool to raise future, hypothetical kids in a multi-lingual household.

3. Earn my CMA (Certified Management Accountant) designation.

4. Lose said 30 lbs plus more.

There you have it.

Anyone else making resolutions for the new year?

My New Love

OH YES! After weeks of dealing with leaking coffee all over my counter from my obviously broken coffee maker, I decided to take the plunge. Either go big or go home, right? I wasn't sure how I would feel about switching from a traditional coffee maker but I must say it is so awesome! You can even brew tea and hot cocoa.

And don't you just love the 70's coffee mug? I have the set from when my mom and dad were first married. I can't bear to let them go.........

What kind of coffee maker do y'all use? And why?

Warning....this is a drunk post!

What is a blogger to do when she is drunk......dance!!! to MJ!!!!

Ok, busy dancing, bye!

Asking for what you want

is so hard sometimes. Why are we women wired to always take care of others needs before our own? I am a pretty strong and decisive person most of the time but in certain circumstances (in bed for example) people ask me what I want and I cannot vocalize anything. I sometimes wish I were wired more like a man.
Speaking of men......I thought that I would share with you my decision to be single. At least for the next six months to a year. It was actually liberating to make this decision. I have been single and looking for a year now and getting tired of the dating scene. So, I am taking a time out. It is refreshing!

Anyone have tips on how to be better for asking what I want? Have y'all made any big decisions lately?

Trying to find the words

I have been crying quite a bit for the past couple days. This young man pictured above passed away yesterday after a long and hard fought battle with cancer. I feel lucky enough to have met him this past fall and to have been able to celebrate his birthday with him. He touched my life with his remarkable spirit and unparalleled courage.

Please join me in praying for his family to have strength to deal with his loss.

Matt....you will forever be remembered and loved by all who have met and known you. You now have legs and arms that can do anything, so.........PLAY BALL!
