Cruisin' into the weekend
Can tomorrow actually be Friday...already?? WOW.Its been a super productive week!! No one was sick or had issues with things this week, so I know that made a HUGE difference in the way things were accomplished. The kitchen received its much needed overhaul and the fridge and pantry are squared away. I am no longer afraid to open the door to my pantry, for fear of what may or may not jump out at me!! LOL. We hav...Monday!
WOWSA....Its been THAT long since my last blog. I suppose that serves as a good indication of just how nuts my life has been lately. LOTS going on. I haven't felt stress like I have over the past 7 weeks, and I mean that. Things still aren't near 'normal' so instead of letting that get me down any further, I have redefined 'normal' and moved on. I have faith that things will turn around and work themselves out. ...Wednesday
Today was one of those days for sure!!It was just weird. I caught a nap with Hayden and Wynnie and I actually got some of the things in the house completed that I have felt like I just haven't had either time or energy to do, but when I got to the gym (which I actually had to DRAG my ass to) I had a super crummy workout.My heart rate was all over the place, I felt like I just couldn't get my breating where it usually is and I got DIZZY in m...Bye bye PMS!!
Well...it was a successful Monday, I suppose!!Hardly ANYTHING I had planned for the day actually got finished!! CRAP!! But...I managed to overcome the SUPER POWER negative, self-sabbotoging self-talk that wanted NOTHING more than to keep me from getting to the gym today. In true Rile fashion, Chris had a very similar day to mine, and had I not been as convicted to get to the gym, I don't think we would have made it there!! ...Friday...finally
Well...got here LATE today, but here nonetheless.Caught up on some things around the house and even some sleep with a nap with my little man. That was nice!! We took the boys to see Kung Fu Panda 2 this evening, and gave up 1 of 2 date nights for the month in doing so, but it was well worth it!! The movie was GREAT and the boys LOVED IT!! It was a good ending to a week of TONS of consistency. I'll celebrate that ANY ...Sunburnt!
I had a FABULOUS Thursday!!I was worried, as my neighbors woke me up about 15 times throughout the night...they actually lit off fireworks (the loud ones like Black Cats) and then threw those 'pop its' at eachother for awhile. Its amazing to me how drunk people operate. WOW. I found my way to the front door more than once, but before marching my TIRED and ANGRY ass outside to give them a piece of my mind, I thought better of it....Hello Hump day!!
Well for a middle of the week 'hump day' I sure had a FABULOUS one!!! Wednesday I am usually feeling the drag of the week and praying for a rush to the weekend. Although I felt the 'lug' of getting to the gym and getting my workout in for just a MINUTE, I didn't have any of the other garbage! I'll take that!! I guess my body and mind are pretty darn thrilled to be back in the 'consistency' saddle again!! WOOOOO HOOOO...Going strong
Tuesday was another GREAT day for me!! Its pretty darn amazing how well I operate, when I have goals I'm working toward and have revamped the workout routine. My body responds to that well and I like how I feel again!!Things are still stressful here, but they are things that are out of our control. The things that ARE within our reach, we are being EXTREMELY proactive about and that feels good. Life may not be responding a...Monday, SSC start...LETS GO!!!
Today was a GREAT day!! What a way to start off my SSC!! I planned for it and I executed it just as planned!! That 4% body fat I am breaking up with, will be GONE baby GONE in 8 weeks with this kind of momentum!! WOOO HOOO!!! And I'm blessed beyond words to have the group I have who are ALL in the same boat!! We have more energy and get up and go than we probably know what to do with!! I know this will be...Oh holy sore
Well...today was a DAY OFF in every sense of the word. I had a list of things that I wanted to get done, but when I actually got up and moving around, I discovered that my shoulder was throbbing and my left hip was SUPER stiff. I was walking like a penguin. SO SAD. I felt like I was just bobbing from one side to another. So I thought if I just walked around a bit more, that I would losen my stiff joints up and be abl...And just like that!!
Another SUPER AWESOME 'gym date' with Chris this evening at the gym!! WOOOO HOOOO!! I am already sleeping better and my energy level is BACK. Just like that. SO I'm now left just slapping the crap outta myself for taking such a lengthy sabbatical!!! LOL!! I guess we live and learn. This was a SOLID reminder that old habits LOVE to come creeping back when we even leave the door cracked open. Sheesh.....A week without blogging...WOWSA
I had a GREAT 'gym date' with Chris tonight at our new gym!! We ran side by side on treadmills and chatted for an hour while the boys were playing basketball and running like wild animals!!! When we were done, we had dinner at the Lifetime cafe (SUPER healthy) and then headed home for the rest of the evening. What a FABULOUS way to end the day!! I am now incredibly happy about making the decision to join this particular gy...The weekend is almost here!
Yep...I'm ready for the weekend!! Our new gym opens for business TOMORROW and I am stoked for all the new things we get to add to our workout schedules!! Things are gonna change!! I am going to confuse the HECK outta my muscle memory!! WOOO HOOO!!!This has been a good week for Parker. I have to admit...I'm surprised. We have had nothing but issue after issue...visits to the principals office and him calling hom...Hump day...I think so
It sure was a hump day here!! I'm SO ready for the weekend to be here, I can't hardly stand it!! Although it was a super productive day, I still feel like I'm just walking in circles. I am setting aside some serious time to get a 'household' schedule down. For some reason, I just can't seem to find my mojo in this new house....its the damndest thing!! So instead of just wishing and hoping that somehow things will wor...Tuesday!
My weekdays have sort of begun to mesh together. This is one of those things that is a direct result of battling insomnia. Its something that I have learned to cope with well. This generally means its time to switch my schedule up just a bit. See, I have a schedule that WORKS for me. This is one of the things they tell you to find, so that you are in bed at the same time. Its all about consistency. So whe...Life happened!!
Today was DEFINITELY a Monday, in every single sense of that word!! My alarms didn't go off when they were set to, or rather they did, but somehow my alarm sounds were turned off. Stupid smart phone!!! Damnit!! So I didn't get Parker up in time to get to school in time, and really, didn't allow for us to walk to school, which was something I have REALLY been looking forward to!! If that wasn't enough, we finally headed out...Mom's day weekend
I had a pretty good weeked!! It was riddled with emotions all over the board, some I didn't even realize were laying in the background, until my husband purchased me a 'Grumpy' (one of the 7 dwarves) tshirt at Target. Yeah...it was seeping into the rest of how I was acting, without me even being aware of it. I suppose thats a pretty good inkling that I still have some work to do with being in touch with my emotions!! LOL!!...Oye!!
Ok...now I'm sick of this raw and sore throat I just can't seem to kick!! I am hydrating and have increased my intake of vitamin C and still this OWIE!! Booooooooooooo!! I will just keep doing what I'm doing. I'm sure that some of this is allergy related and some of it is from the desert SUMMER arriving again. Its HOT and DRY now. We have consistently been in the mid 90's for the past several days. Yep...summer...Happy Cico de Mayo!
I have to say, and I don't mean this in any kind of disrespect to anyone at all, but here in Las Vegas, celebrating Cinco de Mayo is nothing but a massive drunk fest. People actually put up 'beer gardens' in places ALL over, and call them a celebration for Cinco. Really, its just the local restaurants trying to make as much money as they possibly can. People here drink whenever there is a 'good' reason to. Tonight, I watch...Perspective shift....AGAIN!!
Today was definitely one of those days of hanging out with my youngest kiddo and just enjoying the moment. I know that very soon, he won't want to even be seen with me in public. So now, I take each time he wants to grab his teddy bear (Tuck, the panda bear) and his blanket (that has more holes in it than not...) and watch a Disney or 2, I'm all over it!! I used to get irritated that he wanted that kind of undivided time to hims...bellaj11
