Hey guys. Sorry I haven't gotten back online until now. I just cleaned up from a clean dinner (grilled chicken, baked sweet pot and grilled peppers/onions). YUM! Day 1 is about to be in the bag....but I need to keep my guard up after the kiddos go to bed.
I love reading all of your updates. Baby (grandbaby, no less, to a woman who is NOT old enough to be a grandma)! Melissa's anniversary (enjoy your alone-time weekend!). Belinda, I'm sorry to hear about your sis. Mind to fill me in on the details??? A new job and more weight loss! WOO HOO!
OK....I'll take a quick minute to fill you in on what's been going on since the Road Trip in July, which was when I fell off this check-in.
Road Trip in July. AWESOME TIME!
Home, then SO and I took all our kids (plus one friend) to Cape May NJ to meet up with Jerry from the boards. He got me a great rate at his hotel, so we all hit the beach for 4 days. On the way home, we stopped by the Uno restaurant and hotels for the August Road Trip and I met up with Cyndi, kathy S and Mama Deb again. We all had lunch, then we returned home. Then the last of the summer started to slip by and Fall Baseball was about to start up. However, Jacob broke his pinky finger and needed surgery to place 2 pins in the bone to set it straight. Casted and 'pinned' for 2.5 weeks. He got the pins out last Tuesday and was on the ball field THAT NIGHT! LOL In the meantime, I'm PTA Pres this year and I'm enjoying it! It's a lot of work, but nothing overwhelming. It's a matter of staying organized and true to your word and promises. I LOVE IT! I'm still working at the school part time in the cafe, but I'm not liking it all that much anymore. I want to work with smaller groups so I can really SEE the difference I can make.
On the boyfriend front, things are going well and I LOVE this guy! I've told him, but he hasn't returned the words (yet). Last weekend, he ended up staying the night while the kids were home, and that's the first time that ever happened. My boys asked a few questions, and I realized it's TIME to have THE TALK with him, to find out where, exactly, he stands with US. I need the answer because of my kids. THEY saw the commitment last weekend, and now I need to know if there IS one. SO...that talk is on tap this weekend, as soon as I get him alone, which has been a HUGE task lately.
SO.......................fitness-wise. I've been struggling since the Road Trip. I came home and reality smacked me HARD! I had a very hard time getting back into it, and one week led to another, and that brought me up to yesterday. Since the RT, I'd workout for a week but eat horribly, then eat clean and not workout, then do it perfectly, only to binge for 2 weeks. I realized it's a lot emotional stuff I have. So last night I sat down and did my worksheet for today, and I feel SOOOOOOOOOO much better!
That's about it. Sorry to bore you! LOL
My plan for tomorrow: HIIT, and I'm thinking either one of the iTread sprint workouts, or LIC cardio premix, which I LOVE! Plus abs and Stretch Max.
Tomorrow, Im also making Chicken Noodle Soup with Rutabaga! YUMMO!
MWAH! Thanks for listening! I'll
SEE you all tomorrow!
Gayle
I had no energy what so ever!
