Pedometer

So, a couple weeks ago, I bought a cheapie Pedometer at wallyworld. ( not the one pictured, same brand, but mine must be too cheapish to find a picture!) I finally tried it our today on the trail. It said I went 2.90 miles on the trail, and I set a goal of 15,000 steps.
I did 10,796 steps today, or 5.10 miles total. I am not too impressed with this gadget, although I do want a good one. It makes an audible click every time I step...Kind of annoying!

But, hey, my pants were falling off me all day today.....whoohooooooo!!!

It's Friday

Yesterday I earned a little cash painting. My fingers have blisters. I looked like a circus freak show though.....paint speckles all over my face, in my hair. Not to mention the paint fights I got into with my siblings.



I tried those fiber ones chocolate and oats yesterday. YUMMY! I can't believe they have 9 grams of fiber! I recommend them!

I am going to try and run the trail today....it looks like another pretty day, we will see I guess.

Have a good weekend loser friends!

Spring has sprung

So, Today was a beautiful day. Holly and I took the little girls to the park, and saw some tadpoles in the pond. Holly's cell phone was launched into the water via her daughter, and I got to go in after it. ( Holly spotted me, so no swimming for me today!)

I got new running shoes last night, and tried to break them in a little today.

They are New Balance..and I love them!

But, as MY luck would have it, Holly and I ran around the block near her house, and as we rounded her fence to run another block, I...as in me...as in christi, KICKED A STUPID ROCK..a big one right in front of her house. Needless to say, I am going to lose my big toenail. * sigh *

In honor of spring, my most favorite time of the year..I am posting some pictures of my spring flowers from memphis last year. My flowers are the only things I will miss back south.

You all know the song Popcorn Popping.....

My weight is gone!

Well, not on my body, but on my here blog. I guess it got erased when it was redesigned. Darn! I think I have it written down somewhere. Darn again. I wish there was magic to make that happen on my backside. If wishes were horses.....we'd all take a ride, eh?

Top of the morning to ya!

So, I made it! Barely, but I got through yesterday. I made green oatmeal and green eggs for the kids in the AM. I was really tired pretty much all day though, and trudged on through the day. Last night Melissa, Holly and I got a nice meal and a fire safety lesson. I did get the steak, and it was nice and tender. Of course, they added a potato the size of a small town, but get this...it was FRIED. Yes folks, battered and fried! So, I picked out the middle! Melissa got the best seat in the house I'm told! She had the perfect birds view of Mr. Plumber dude on the next table. Add my own brother passing me notes while the fire dude was talking , and it made for a fun night. The conversation later at the mall over ice-cream ( TCBY....I was good!) just topped it off!
When we got home, my daughter Aubrie and I finished watching a fun little Disney movie.
"Luck of The Irish"
For Breakfast, I did have a nice cracked oat cereal. Lunch, a smart ones pasta.

So, today I feel rested, my cramps are gone, and I am going to get to the gym regardless of scouts, and YW.

Have a good day my losers!

Happy St. Paddy's Day

When I was younger, I always tried to NOT wear green so possibly the cute boys would pinch me! I would protest that surely my eyes being green would be enough to count.....LOL, was I foolish or what!? ( Hey, it worked ONCE! I got a date out of it when I was older! )
So, being a pinch of Irish, I say have a great day!

I am going to work out this morning cramps and all.
I am going to eat a hot high fiber cereal this morning.

I think I may need to take my oldest daughter to the doctor. she was hit with an overinflated soccer ball Friday, and has been lethargic with a headache since. She got a bloody nose. This child NEVER complains about being sick, and keeps asking for Tylenol. I figure it probably was a slight concussion, even though there was no bump. Better to be safe than sorry.

Wee Bit O' Irish

You're the flash and sparkle in dark Irish eyes.
You're the whimsey and charm of leprechaun guise.
You're the treasured gold at the rainbow's end.
You're the beauty and mystery of emerald glens.
You're the top o' the mornin' - my cup of tea.
You're springtime adornin'...blessings on thee.

Melissa Rocks!

Melissa is so dang cool! She created this gorgeous layout for me...is she just the most talented gal around, or what?

So, new goals this week. I am on a downward spiral depression wise, and I need someone to kick me in the buttocks. Seriously. K. Felt that. Thanks.

Now. I herby promise that I shall not complain, bash myself, moan, groan, cry, eat anymore chocolate, or weigh myself for one week, or 7 days, or 168 hours! No way, no how!

I will update daily the POSITIVES of that particular day, finding my strengths instead of dwelling on my weakness'. I will journal all that enters into my mouth, and I will be a GOOD GIRL.

That being said, I am not going to post my weight until that 7 days is up, in hopes of ridding myself of all this crap in my system. Please be my cheerleaders ladies, I need you!

Blah.Stupid scale.

Something is seriously up with my scale.
It says I weigh 166. First it said 153 on the rug, but then 166, then 164, then 169. I don't believe any of those numbers. Yes, I have been sick and haven't been to the gym this week, but I haven't eaten any differently, and if anything I should have stayed the same. My kids dropped my scale 2 weeks ago. so.....? Don't ever buy a Weight Watchers scale. Ever.
So, I forfeit this weigh in today, and will weigh on Holly's tomorrow for the official number. I will take my measurments today though.

It's strep

Pretty bad case. THe culture tales about 5 minutes. In about 30 seconds it was growing like crazy on that petri dish! Also, and ear infection. My temp was 102, and I was achey and had the chills. THey gave me a shot in my hiney of Penicillin, and I was in bed all day groaning . By 7pm. I was still hurting so badley after 3 doses of Liquid tylenol, that my hubby took me back. I was dehydrated from not being able to swallow anything. They gave me some ibuprophen in the IV, and I am feeling a bit better. I can now swallow without crying. I just had some soup, and I am going to actaully try and get some sleep.
THey thought maybe I had the flu, and cultured me.but I don't have it. Whenever I get an infection, it speads pretty fast throughout my body.
Night!

I am so sick

I was up crying from 3am until 6. My throat and ears hurt so bad! I almost drove myself to the hospital, that's how much I was hurting. ( I AM hurting) I still don' have a regular Doctor here in Utah, so I will go to the insta care place at 10. I think it's strep. I couldn't even get to the gym last night. My weigh in is going to be horrible this month.
My computer has been down for 2 days, So I am sorry I haven't responded to everyone. Have an excellent day my losers.
