I can really not even tell you how ashamed I am of myself
this month. I haven't been eating horribly but I haven't put any effort into
exercising and I have been eating things that I originally cut out of my diet.
Since I have tried to defeat myself I've noticed my craving for soda is
beginning to overtake me. I have to find a way to put that back behind me, I've
worked too hard to start that again. I cannot believe I have gone this long
without posting something. I've decided Christmas isn't going to overtake me
the way I let Thanksgiving! So here is my Thursdays weigh in.....
That's 2.8 lbs.! I am really happy it was not 10 but I feel
like I have gained 10.
So I have tried to create a schedule before to go by but I
have not been able to due to extracurricular activities for the kids. Well I am
taking a stand now! I love doing extra for my children and making my life
revolve around everything they need, but they need me to be healthy and alive
more than they need me to be present at every PTO meeting. They have Cheer on
the weekends now, Girl Scouts on Wednesdays and Jasmine has her development
counseling every other Thursday so my schedule has freed up a little and I am
going to not let it get crazy again. So I
will do any extra hours I need to do for work on the weekends and this is how I
want my weekly exercising to work.
Monday: Cardio 1 hour or more
Tuesday: Cardio 1 hour or more
Wednesday: strength at least 35 minutes
Thursday: Cardio 1 hour or more
Friday: Strength 35 minutes
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Cardio 1 hour or more
Then I have to go back to not eating out. Only eat out on
special occasions. Even if it is 8:00 at night and we have been busy and
running around go home and make egg sandwiches or something, anything is better
than fast food. I know for a fact the 19th we will be eating out because it is
Joslynn's birthday and we are starting a tradition that we take only the
birthday girl and eat out with her and take her to buy her present. We will
also be doing it on the 30th for Jasmine's birthday.
Everything has been going very well. Yesterday
we had a scare; I came home to find my dryer sparking, so we are very blessed
to have not lost everything we own. Besides that everything is great for once.
We have been blessed to have been able to afford Christmas presents for our
children and I am looking forward to watching them open them.
Okay, this is for Desiree - On December 2nd Jason and I was
driving his cousin Macey home. Well, he pulled up next to a Student driver and
yelled out the window at the kid "You can do it!!!" Well I looked at
him and said why are you never spontaneous like that when it's just me and you,
he says "want to see spontaneous." We drop off Macey, drive to Meijer’s because he
says we need to buy Pap ( his grandpa) a birthday present. We get out of the
car and my ex-boyfriend Brandon walks up to us and him and Jason are talking
we get in the store Jason says stay right here he finds an Isle and stops us in the
middle and starts running around like a mad man. Brandon ask me what he is
doing and I told him about the car thing and tell him he is trying to be
spontaneous so who knows lol. Next thing you know all these people come walking
up surrounding us and this lady says "Is he going to propose?" then
it hit me! He dropped to one knee and popped the question. He says I took
forever to answer but I just remember being frozen in shock! I had waited two
years for that question and many of nights of me asking him for him to tell me
it will happen.
It didn't hit me until the next day as to where it took
place lol. I guess he had asked my mom and his granny for ideas as to where to
ask me and they told him somewhere that means a lot to me and him, somewhere
that is special to us. Okay, not saying I don't like the way it went down but
every Friday we would go out to eat, go to the Drive-in Movie and them goof off
at Meijer’s. So he chose our special place to be Meijer’s lol. The way I see it
that must have been the place where he seen me for who I really was most the
time. I don't know and I like the fact that it's not a normal Location.
