So in the never ending battle to be healthy and not want to vomit when i look in the mirror i have started to work out. It started a few months ago when I ran my first 5K. yeah i know it is insane I ran a 5K. Well lets be honest I ran, walked, got pissed at myself, ran some more, prayed for a broken leg, then cussed out my hubby at the finish line. Yes i know it was a shining moment in my life. But lets just say having someone 3 times your size and 25 years older than you finish before you is enough of a wake up call.
So we started running a little bit at home. Well as any mom knows there is just not enough time in the day. I don't want to run alone in the dark in the morning and it is so hot in the evening when i get home plus there is dinner to cook and kids to wash and dishes to do.
That form of excising wasn't really working so we bought weights. after a week of serious working out 5 days a week all i can really say is ....
HOLY CRAP MY ACHIN LEGS, ARMS AND BUTT AND BY THE WAY I DID NOT EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A MUSCLE OVER THERE!!!
Yup that is how i feel. everything hurts. A good hurt i am sure but still pain. I have to say it is nice to work out with Chris and the kids get involved too. I am also watching my calories. this is an eye opening experience. I know it is a pain but seriously pick one day to eat normal but just count how many calories is in everything you put in your mouth.
For example I got a salad at Chilies. I mean a SALAD. Guess how many calories 1200 yea i know crazy. Now where the problem comes in is that as a good little dieter you have watched what you ate all day. Then while your husband eats some sizzling fajitas loaded with sour cream and cheese you picked a nice simple salad yea there is some cheese but come on all of those veggies easily off set that. So now you have not only blown the whole day because you ate all cals in one setting as you should have for the whole day but thinking about how wonderful and self sacrificing you have been you decide to order one of those tiny little shot glasses of desert.
now the next time you weigh yourself you will at the very least have not lost any weight and fall in to the depths of depression crawl to the freezer for a half gallon of Edy's ice cream thus the cycle begins again.
OK funny story but completely true at least for me but as Chris says i am a little dramatic and possibly have weight issues ( I know crazy right where does he get this stuff) but if you are interested there is a site called thedailyplate.com that has the calories for everything.

Here I am again
So here I am. I know you have missed me. Things have been so crazy here. Work has been busy as normal. Jarrod's soccer season is finally finished. They gave him a trophy after the last game he has slept with it every night. I swear the stuff kids do, it is just so cute.
OK so here is my revelation for the week. I think I am OK with just two kids. We went to dinner recently and I noticed that my kids are the age that they can kind of entertain themselves and I can actually have an adult conversation. Big words and all. I don't know when it happened but it seems like my life might be entering a new phase.
On that same note we registered Jarrod for kindergarten. I know kindergarten it is insane. We decided to pull him out of private school and put him in public school. Once again another lesson in guilt. I had to make a choice that will forever effect his life. But i have decided that if I am very involved then he will have the same chances for a great education as a private school. OK not really but i was a product of public school and i turned out OK. But then again they did not have the FCAT and weren't cutting teachers jobs left and right. Darn it I might have to rethink my decision. Jeez thanks guys for totally making me doubt myself again.
All in all it has been a great few weeks. We are all healthy, happy and truly blessed. Really what more could I ask for.

time flies
Wow, OK my last post was on 4/13/09. So for all of my loyal readers I apologize. Just kidding I don't have any loyal readers this is basically just my way of organizing the multiple voices I have in my head.
OK so back to the subject of this post. I am not sure if it happens when you have kids or when you start getting older but seriously time is flying. I mean if i blink I could possibly miss an entire week of my life. This is insane. I swear i had my daughter like six months ago but when I look at her it is easy to see she is over two. Today she said "Oh S#*t" beyond the fact that this is telling me i need to wash my mouth out with soap when did my daughter learn how to talk.
My son is five. Yes five as in like starting real school with real homework. I don't know how this has caught me so off guard. I mean technically it has taken 5 years to get to this point but it really just seems like i was potty training him a few months ago.
Maybe this is where the sudden urge to have another baby comes from, the fact that my babies aren't babies anymore. It is all so sad. I know soon my son will look at me and say "Mom you are so lame" and i will think hey i am the coolest person i know. Which only shows you that there is a possibly i am already lame.
Well i am sure all of you have the same problem. There is not enough time in the day to get it all done and too much to do to enjoy any of it. Kind of a crappy endless circle. Well now i have gone and depressed myself so i guess i better go.
