i hate blogging

i really don't like to blog. that's why i don't do it often and i'm not sure why i do it at all. i feel like as a mom i should document my child's life somehow. since i don't scrapbook and i don't print many pictures, am i going to be 80 years old and have to log in to my facebook to see pictures of my baby boy growing up? for that matter, am i going to have to look at my blog??

i do like to document my weight loss, which in theory would push me to lose more. hm. proving that theory wrong.

the only other reason i blog is to push myself a little and make myself think and write. i do prefer typing over handwriting and it seems weird to do that in a Word doc. plus, i need to do all the brain exercising i can so it doesn't turn to mush before i'm 50. (the blue juice in mexico didn't help slow that process down at all!) oh mexico...


where was i? oh yes.. i'll finish this one up with a blogging fun fact. i have two loyal readers: one i see and talk to every day at work, and one who won't speak to me in real life. isn't that odd?

old goals are new again

So my goal was to lose 10 pounds by my birthday. I've managed to gain two. New goal: lose 12 pounds by my birthday. This is it folks. I'll be damned if those Oreos that Luke insists he "needs" in order to stay on track for his weightloss are going to siderail my goals. No funeral, vacation, or glass(es) of wine will stand in my way this time. Spring has sprung and now Padre and I are running off our last 10 (or 12) pounds before summer. We managed a 9pm run tonight in the drizzle. Tomorrow's goal: lots of water, healthy eating (no soda or sweets) and kickboxing class.

My inspiration:

  • being a healthy mommy and good example for E
  • being a healthy partner for L
  • making my dad proud (even still)
  • new summer clothes
  • feeling great physically and mentally

UPDATE: kickboxing teacher quit. Boo - I really liked that one. So I didn't have class, but still worked out on the machines for about 30 minutes. Hopefully there will be a new class soon!
