  • Day 3, Evening Journal
    Blogging about these things sure makes it easier to keep up with it. I can refer back and see where to improve, etc. Today I feel short in carbs and proteins, but I did good with calories and fats. 1 I got in a good 15 minutes of cardio this morning, and another 45 minutes at the fitness center with the girls ju

  • The Journey: Day 3, Morning Entry
    Good Morning! We had a late start to our day, but I have decided to go with the flow, and make it work. My sis in law came and took the kids to school for me, since I don't drive, and we missed the bus. I had her pick me up a small pepsi on the way home. Drank 1/2 cup for 50 calories. My philosophy is to drink it in

  • Between Truth and a Heart-Choke
    Okay, so I was pretty edgy. I calmed down. I helped my babies get their homework done. I made motivational collages with my twins. I watched my Biggest Loser. I cried like a huge baby. The kids laughed at me. 1 I still have to get my schoolwork done, and pick up the house before I can go to bed, and it is alread

  • The Journey: Day 2, Evening Entry
    I don't know what it is but I feel so edgy. I was fine when I was alone for the first part of the day, but it seemed as soon as everyone starting coming home there was just chaos; and something inside me shifted. I've been trying to cover it up, but the more time passes the more edgy I become. 1 I only exercised

  • Because I have nothing better to do
    1 I have about ten to twenty minutes before the hubby and the son come in the door. Then we have to go grab the money orders for the rent and get back here before the three girls. 2 I did a twenty minute workout, cleaned the place up, and messed around online at my weight loss site. Man there are a TON of s

  • The Journey: Day 2, Morning Entry
    Well, it is morning journal time. I woke up, got the kids off to school, played around on my sparkpeople account, and had a healthy breakfast wrap. I stuck to my two cup limit on the coffee, and in fact left half of the second cup to grow cold. Just finished my prayers and bible reading. 1 I read Proverbs chapte

  • The Journey: Day 1 P.M.
    1 So, I didn't make it to the kids' rooms, again. However, I did manage to stay within my nutrition goals, and exceed my fitness goals. I prepped some of the weeks dinners, so that as the days come it's less work. The girls gave in before I did when we did our workout! 2 I aggravated that weird numbing pai

  • Motivation Board and Signed Pledges of Allegiance
    I know I said I would only journal twice, but I cannot help it. 1 I forgot to mention our motivation board! I am currently working on it. It's just a large corkboard with push pins. I am putting our weight tracking chart, our signed allegiance before God and each other, our 'before' pics, and more on there.

  • The Journey: Day 1 AM
    1 So, I have decided to journal twice a day. Once in the morning after my bible study time, and once in the evening before bed. So far this morning I am running about twenty minutes behind my written schedule. I am not letting it stress me out though, as I always allow more time than I need for things when I pla

  • I feel good
    1 I feel good this time. I mean the whole family is contributing to our ideas for eating better, healthier food. Even the hubby mentioned a few things earlier. The twins' and I are the only ones embarking on the journey of physical fitness with exercise though. We have weighed in, and the journey starts tomorr

  • The Journey Begins: Lots of Tips I've Learned
    Where Should the Road to Healthy Living Start? 1 You should start by finding out what your body mass index (BMI) is. There are several free online calculators to help you find out what your BMI is. The BMI uses a weight versus height ratio to determine whether you are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or o

  • "The Journey of a Thousand Miles Starts..."
    On Monday my twins and I are starting a journey toward healthy living. The whole family will participate with the new way of eating, and hopefully I can get them to work out with us when they see our results! For quite some time now I have been switching us slowly over to a healthier way of life. It is my hope that I

  • Steering Wheels and Spare Tires
    1 I don't know why I write virtually everything in these journals. Even things that nobody really cares about. I suppose it is so that later I can recall what I did, and hope that along the journey there are more good words than bad. Perhaps so that when I re-read them I can see some of the areas I still strug

  • Losing Weight?
    1 So a couple times now I started exercise programs, drinking more water, and eating healthy. In both instances I would lose ten pounds in the first two weeks. You think that would be motivation enough to keep going. It was not. 2 I have scoliosis, so my pain gets pretty bad sometimes. I also have a pinch

  • I tried to write a poem
    I tried to write a poem. One that was beautiful and made you feel like nothing else in the world could make you feel, but it wouldn't come. My fingers tapped words that didn't define the feeling, and perhaps it is because I have never felt this way before. Either way, I feel so uberly good! 1 Before becoming th

  • Bless his heart
    1 I've been doing so much that today I literally drug ass. Normally, when the hubby comes in around five the dinner is just about ready to serve. He has about enough time to wash up, change, and get to the table. Today, that was not the case. 2 When he came in I was still working on homework. I had to get

  • Un-Lovely Sounds
    1 I woke today to the un-lovely sound of children fighting. Tattle-telling on each other like they were the innocent parties; victims of circumstance. And I know they were all in on that shit together. Had a headache when I went to bed last night, and it remains this gray rainy morning. I have swallowed severa

  • I don't feel so bad anymore
    1 Time for a break! I got quite a bit accomplished! Down to two loads of laundry, cake is almost cooled, strawberry filling ready to go, all showered. Now to make dinner and finish this cake & make an unexpected run to the store, before Biggest Loser! 2 I have decided to do the potatoes tomorrow. That give

  • Turkey Time or Wasting Time?
    1 I know that technology is supposed to make life easier, and that in many ways it does just that. However, technology such as the computer make me waste more time than I save! I have so much to do. Yesterday's list didn't even get half-done. That leaves me today's list and part of yesterday's. Since it all ha

    1 The following recipes are the ones I have created in the past month. Some of them sound different, but they are good, I promise.

  • Can we save time and money?
    1 I've been emailing all of my money saving hints, tricks and recipes to a few people who have requested them. Most recently, I compiled several at once for my cousin. I thought I would share them here as well. You never know who could use them. Those of you have me on facebook will have already read this. If yo

  • Mothers and Cakes and Ears Getting Pierced
    1 It's been crazy lately. Not just in my life, but in everyone's life I know, for the most part. I've gotten a lot done though. Even baked a small cake today for the kids. Tomorrow my mom is coming over. She is taking the girls to get their ears pierced, and my son to get a movie. Then she is spending the nigh

  • Tears that fall in endless pools
    1 You would not believe the past two weeks I have lived. I am well aware that it could  be worse, and remind myself of that fact to get through my rough times. However, I am at a breaking point, where no amount of reassurance is helping. 2 It all started two Mondays ago. I woke up SO sick with my firs

  • Managing Mishaps
    1 I am still sick, along with a couple of my children. So yesterday I baked two 12 inch round cakes to make the first tier of the four tier cake. The edges cracked on one layer, so I 'glued' it with icing, but after three double batches of icing, the sides were still bulging. I had to completely remove the top l

    1 So, I am sick. I have two kids home sick with me. I have a four tier wedding cake that has to be completed by Friday night. Well, I am putting the two bottom tiers together, and the two top tiers together, so they can travel easier. I am going to do all my flowers today, so they have time to dry. They have to

  • God sure must love stupid people
    1 I mean, after all, he made so many! UGH! 2 So much has happened this year that will alter every other year to come. We lost my Nanny, and God how I miss her. Sometimes, I won't even be thinking of her, just cleaning up, or reading a chapter for school, and here she comes. Fresh and vivid to my mind...and I

  • Happy Halloween?
    1 It is hard not celebrating the holidays, but not so much because I miss them. It's knowing that everyone is gathering to have fun, and we will not be there. Tonight, at the bar and grill my brother works for, the whole family will be getting together. They asked us to come, but we declined. After all, if we do

  • Take an Honest Look: Even hard things can be done
    1 Sometimes, we really need to take an honest look at ourselves. It is not the easiest thing in the world to do, but it must be done. Humans are the most selfish creatures on the face of the earth, and yes, some worse than others. 2 The problem is that we wake up each day to our needs, feelings, wants, desi

    1 I feel kind of bad, guilty you could say. Today, was my best friends birthday, and I didn't call her. Here is the thing... 2 We used to talk all the time. She was there for me even before my own family was there. However, she does stupid things, and I always have to help her pick up the pieces. She gets

  • How True is This?
    When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill.... barefoot... BOTH ways Yadda, yadda, yadda 1 And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there w

  • Learning the hard way
    1 So, a friend of mine recommended I start taking melatonin to help me sleep. I bought some, and took the first one tonight. It works! I am exhausted. The problem is that I didn't expect it to work after everything I tried. I took it an hour ago, and got tired instantly; and still had school work to do. 2

  • A Mother's Scorn
    1 So, Chris has now lied to my daughter twice. I sent him a message through myspace email, since my husband doesn't want me talking to him on the phone. It says he has read it, yet he has not responded. He calls at eight, when we clearly told him to call between seven and seven thirty; as the kids are in bed b

  • Men and their Twisted Ways
    1 So, my mother in law calls me earlier, and states that she is on her way over to have a conversation with me. I grew nervous, because our beliefs are similar, but very different, and I was not sure what this talk would do to our relationship. A relationship that has been great from the get go.

  • Yes, I have finally made up my mind
    I have spent countless hours over the past year or so pouring over the bible, researching articles, videos, and the like. I would like to share some of that with you.

    1 Many people have said that the man up high works in mysterious ways. I am starting to believe that. I mean consider the fact that I have been on a downward spiral for a long time now.

  • Don't Count Me Out, Just Yet
    1 So, my husband and I ended up having somewhat of a conversation that day when he returned home. His mother had him convinced we must go back to church. The problem is I will NEVER go back to the belief that we should worship God on a pagan day. I don't think He would be alright with us placing His name over
