I Need A Break!

July has been a weird month for me.  Nothing extremely big or exciting going on, but it just feels different somehow.  I don’t think I’ve been in bed before 1am (sometimes later) all month, so that could be part of my problem. 
I’ve been tired.  I’ve had a hard time focusing on anything.  I’ve gotten behind [...]

Things Currently Keeping Me From Blogging

Applying for financial aid.  (a.k.a. Searching through piles of papers for tax records, etc.)
Stressing about the PRAXIS exam I’ll have to take to get in the education program.  I’ve been out of school way too long!
Relearning Algebra before I start classes in the fall.  (My brain is mush.)
Working on about ten loads of laundry.  (You [...]

I’m Awake!

For the first time all week, I actually feel awake.  After looking at my pictures from Easter, I decided I needed to get more serious about my diet.  I can make myself eat healthy, but I have a hard time quitting my caffeine habit.  I’m not so worried about having caffeine now and then, but [...]

Almost Friday

Just a few quick random things.  Life has been hectic the last week (okay, the last three weeks). 
 Shiloh was sick again this week, so I’ve missed more work.  I took her to the doctor on Tuesday and she has an ear infection.  She’s feeling better now (still taking meds) and she’s back in preschool today. 
The doctor also prescribed [...]

15%

This isn’t a big New Year’s post or anything, I’ll try to do that tomorrow, but it is something that I wanted to blog about now, so hopefully a few of you will see it.  I’m joining the 15% club, which is just some women bloggers that want to try and lose 15% of their [...]

Diet Review

I have some good news this week.  Not great.  Not where I wanted to be.  But still good.  If you’ve been reading, you know that I haven’t seen much change in my weight in the last few weeks.  I do lose weight slowly, but I couldn’t understand why it was so slow (like 1/2 a [...]

Weekly Diet Review

This was my first bad week since joining Weight Watchers.  By bad I mean that I didn’t lose any weight.  I could blame water weight (whatever that is), or the fact that muscle weighs more than fat and I did alot of strength training, but I’ll just blame myself.  I drank Mellow Yellow all week, I [...]

Diet Review

Only 1 pound this week.  Of course, I had Olive Garden on Friday and pizza on Saturday and Sunday.  Then I weighed in on Monday.  I’m going to try to do better this next weekend.  The weekends are the hardest for me.  I think not having a routine, like I do during the week, messes [...]

Tuesday Diet Review and Shiloh’s Latest Antics

Shiloh is only two and she’s already doing everything she can to embarrass me.  (I’m beginning to think it’s on purpose.)  I’ve already told you how she picks random strangers at the store and yells, “Hi Daddy!”  Okay, I’m finally getting used to that.  It can be funny, depending on the guy’s reaction.  Haha. 
This weekend [...]

Diet Review – week 3

Nothing much to report.  Still following the Weight Watcher’s points plan.  I ate really bad over the weekend.  I need to focus on getting more sleep, so I have the energy to exercise and plan my meals.  I forgot to weigh in on Monday, so I don’t know if I lost any weight this week.
On [...]
