ugh

How come I always miss the cool giveaways on The Pioneer Woman's website? I love her blog, I love her photography, and my whole family LOVES her recipes. Sounding a bit stalker-ish? I hope not. She really is cool and I hope you check our her blog if you haven't already. I meant to tell Lori thanks so much for introducing her to me. I learn all kinds of new things at bunco. We love The Pioneer Woman and Britt now has to have a flip flop fold - which was one of the product reviews at bunco. (product reviews are always fun - one time one of the girls brought a hair dye - for your private area. It was HYSTERICAL)
It's been a good family day. We didn't get as much done on my list, but we did mark a few things off. I think we can get more done tomorrow, which is always a good thing. By the time I get all this stuff put where I want it, it will be time to figure out if we are going to buy or find something a bit larger. ha! I am seeing progress in the house, though.
We took Elijah to the movies to go to see Ironman 2. We really enjoyed it.
One of Britt's friends told him about this my fitness pal website and app. It's awesome!! It's a great way to journal what you eat and what you exercise without having to join WW or anything like that. They have an awesome food database with nutritional info.. Awesome. I have to say it's been incredibly easy to use. Now, staying within my daily caloric guideline?? not so easy. I am craving sweet and salty right now and hoping that will pass in the next few days. I stuck some grapes in the freezer earlier today to help with the sweet craving. I haven't been terrible - and everything I have eaten has been good for me, which is a switch.
My friend wants me to get up at 5:45 on Monday and go run/walk with her. It's not the 5:45 that scares me, contrary to popular belief. It's that I don't think I can keep up with her. At this point, I CAN NOT RUN.. I would hurt myself. i wish I could.. but I can't. maybe a few steps.. I gotta start somewhere, right? She already told me not to sit at home this weekend thinking up excuses. She knows me a bit better than I would like!!
One more day of us all being home together before the work week begins. I plan to enjoy it.

About this blog

I am a 43 year old Mom of 2 awesome kids. I have one child with a serious illness. Caring for him is mostly what I do - with a few other things mixed in here and there. I have been married to the same wonderful man for nearly 15 years now. I am forever on the quest to change my life for the better. I want to be more organized, much healthier, and much thinner. So far, I'm not getting there. This blog is for my ramblings and frustrations while on my neverending quest for improvement.
