well...maybe not EVERY day...

so...clearly my life is too hectic to post every day! my joshua got sick and my jonah got grouchy. I think he may be going through a growth spurt.

anyways...so far, things have gone well with the diet change. cutting out gluten again has not been as hard this time. I think I am tired of feeling lousy. and fat.

I lost 4 pounds in five days. I guess gluten really messes with my system.

today was really lovely, by the way. the family spent the afternoon outside on a blanket. jonah loves the sunshine! then we went to grandma and grandpa's house for dinner.

that's all for now. time for sleeps!

lent

so...I have decided to make a sacrifice for lent. I have been taught that the idea behind giving something up for lent is that you do it with the intention of giving said item up for good.

for me, I am giving up the unhealthy habits I have reimplemented into my life now that I have had jonah. I have pretty much gained back the 10 lbs I lost, which makes me feel so defeated.

my goal is to write about my struggles and triumphs each day on here. we will see how it goes with my darling (almost 2 month old!) jonah.

i should be sleeping...

so...at the prompting of the lovely kelli percy, i actually remembered that i created this thing and thought maybe it was time to post to it again.

i am currently watching my husband attempt to beat a challenging video game that kinda creeps me out a little. it is called portal. it is creepy.

i am happy to report that i am done working at little ceasars and can now concentrate in getting my body and my classroom in order!

on the classroom side of things:
i am headed up there at some point tomorrow to start to organize the furniture in the room. they painted this year, which means everything is in the middle of the room and in considerable disarray. i am hoping to make some sense of the chaos. we will see. it is currently a tad overwhelming to think about!

on the body side of things:
i will be running three miles in the morning. i have not ran in three (going on four) days, which is not good! i am hoping to be up to thirteen miles by halloween. i am also hitting up water aerobics around lunch time. i have exactly four weeks until school starts back and i want to make the most of it! my ultimate goal is lose 30 lbs. i started back on weight watchers, although i have not been doing very well the past couple of days. i think now that i am done with the weird work schedule, it will be a little less complicated.
i started monday at 160 lbs.
i weighed 158 this morning.
not too bad...two down...twenty-eight to go!

hi friends.

so,  i think maybe it would be fun to post my wandering thoughts here for a while.  i don't like to capitalize things.   i hope this does not offend.  

i am sleepy.

perhaps i will write more later.
