First of February

This morning started off a little rocky. Got up late in the middle of a snowstorm. Decided to stay in my jammies and called the boss. Didn't grab a shower or really get my thoughts together when suddenly I look outside and see that the sun is shining and the snow has stopped. So off I go. I sure could have used another snow day this week to get my typing done and to putter around in my jammies with no one else at home. Doc was pleased to see me tho!

So, I've bought a pair of running shoes, I already own a treadmill, some work out videos, a stability ball, some weights, and some kickass work out music...why am I sitting in front of my pc in my jammies instead of making use of the time to work out and earn some APs? I somehow need to become a work out junkie. When I get obsessed with something, I become and absolute junkie, totally a slave to whatever I'm obsessed with at the moment. How the hell am I going to become a skinny barbie bitch if I don't get off my ass?

Maybe I need to look at the reasons I want to be thin and post them somewhere. I honestly don't think I eat too much, I do believe I eat the wrong things, but never too much....it's pure laziness that is keeping me from shedding all this fat that obviously does not belong to me.

Motivate me.....Tell me your favorite work out tunes...

I've been married nearly 10 years and even then, I was struggling with my weight...I'm disgusted to realize that I've let 10 years go by without getting really downright dirty serious about getting healthy and fit.

Random Thursday

So today my Dad had a stress test with the doc to see if his heart is still strong after coming thru his stroke, seizure and rehabilitation. He wants to have a total knee replacement as soon as possible as at this point, he is reduced to a walker and none too happy about it. Suni says his ticker is fine but he'll have to wait at least 6 more mths before undergoing surgery...

I feel like I'm slipping a bit with my WW plan. The first week, I kept the points tracker page open all the time to remind myself where I was at. This week, I keep thinking I'll remember to add the points and I do, eventually, sometimes well after I've gone into my flex points. I'm promising myself I won't do that next week.

I pulled a whack of old photos old of an old magnetic/sticky page album tonight a) so I could use the album for my die cuts portfolio and b) because I got a new pocket album to protect those photos better.

Bittersweet going thru the photos - they were of my college days. I don't feel as old as I am. My chin was looking at the photos with me and wondering when it will get my face to itself again - its sick of sharing with the other chins!

I'm thinking it might be smart to take all these old photos and scan them to discs for safe keeping...

My question of the night is: What is the best type of sports bra for an overly endowed girl like me?

End of January

So, not so much an adventure as a late venture into blogging.

I've decided to dip my unpainted, unmanicured toes into the world of blogging which I see much as an online diary....it's up to me whether I share the link with my Mom though huh?

It's after 11 here and I should be dancing with the sugarplum fairies but today was a snow day so I collapsed for a couple of cat naps earlier and am somewhat awake now.

I guess I should put some stuff of interest on my first post...for later... for when life is different.

I'm 38 ... almost 39 which really doesn't bother me.

I currently have purply curly hair... recently dyed.

Daughter to Muriel & Merv for almost 39 years

Sister to Brian for almost 35 years.

Wife to Mike for almost 10 years.

Mother to Riley for almost 15 years.

Surrogate Mother to five cats....Dino, Daisy, Gabby, Cleo and Grace.

I love my career for the past 4 years as a medical secretary to a female Internist.

I quit smoking on April 24 2007 - just over 9 months ago.

I started online WeightWatchers on January 14 - just over 2 weeks ago.

I love shopping, mucking about on my PC, my jammies, my Jeep, cats, U2 and CSI
