We're MOVING!!!

Just don't know when for sure ... sometime in July -- most likely mid-July. We are getting a 2 bedroom/1 bathroom upstairs unit ... more importantly, it has central air, a dishwasher, and washer/dryer hookups. So now I get the fun of starting to pack crap up here and try to get organized, and while I'm at it, get rid of the crap we don't need and never really did. So excited for that.

I'm also going to take a cake decorating class in July too. Give me something to do while Nick is gaming ... I'm so excited about that too ... I'm gonna be making cakes constantly I think ... at least I can take them to work for the girls to get fat from and not just Nick and I.

On the health front, I've been doing Walk Away the Pounds this week, 3 mile walk (in 45 minutes). Wow is that a workout. Sad part about it is I know I'm not getting my heart rate up where it should be cuz I just can't move that fast or something. (I bought a heart monitor cuz by the time I'd find my pulse, it was slowed way down).

Think that's really all that's new. I'll be sure to post cake pictures as I go along.

I Love Tea

OK, I never knew how much I really like tea. Apparently the secret (for me at least) is hot brewing. Those Lipton cold tea bags just don't work for me. I love my new toy :) :) :) (yes, I'm uber-pathetic).

And, the only bad part of my day today has been that I can't find our savings account registry. So, if anyone out in the world has a clue, clue me in where it's hiding!

BLINGO WIN!!!

Nick just won a movie ticket on Blingo which means I get one too! Woo-hoo!!! Anyone reading this that wants to sign up to win, do it here. You can win iPods, Visa gift certificates, movie tickets, lots of stuff.

I got a new ice tea maker today, gotta go clean it up so I make me some tea, since I broke my sun tea jar this morning ... used it ONCE ... grrrr! Wood Bridge lady called today, we have an appointment to look at a unit Thursday, and if we like it, can move in on the 3rd ... I'm excited. All in all it's been a really good day ... low volume, possibility of moving soon, new tea maker, and a couple gift certificates coming our way.

Back on Track

Well, this morning I got up, cleaned up the living room somewhat, and I actually put in Walk Away the Pounds, and I did the 1-mile walk. Which reminds me, I need to record all my eating and exercising from the weekend still. Hopefully, that will help get me back on track. Also, decided that maybe I should keep my Intervent stuff at work, where it's in my face more than at home, to help keep me on track better there. My co-workers always seem to ask me more questions and stuff, helping keep me accountable (even if they don't realize it) when I have it there. I have this habit of bringing it out in the hall at naptime every so often when it's there, so we get to talking and it takes me 2-3 times longer to get my homework done :). Oh, and I weighed myself this morning and I lost 3 pounds since Friday morning (which I just don't understand -- not that I'm complaining, just commenting).

Next task: drink more water ... or, rather ... drink any water, period (I'm so bad about that) ... possibly I might even try to do away with soda when I start that.

Oh what an exciting life I lead

Now that I've started this, I've realized how really, truly boring my life really is. The excitement of this evening ... we did dishes, and Drake (our beta fish) got clean water (it was really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really gross.) Yeah, that's pretty much it ... well, that and I'm debating getting a part-time job ... but I really enjoy having some time at home to relax ... but this low numbers business is getting old (at least I've made 2 weeks I think since I had it last).

On the weight loss topic (since supposedly that's what this is supposed to be primarily about, amazing how quick I can get off topic), I've been royally (and I mean ROYALLY) slacking on that front. Been eating a lot of food, and junk also ... and not tracking ANY of it ... and the exercising that I had been doing so good with, has gone to hell in a handbasket (thanks to Nick's hours being different last week, so he was around in the mornings). I keep telling myself I need to get out of bed in the mornings and go do it, and then next thing I know I'm waking up in time to eat breakfast and do my normal morning routine, sans (is that the right word???) exercise.

It's Official

Bryan and Madonna are separated (wow ... if I didn't know better I'd think I'd just announced that 2 people were in the process of a divorce instead of 2 businesses :) ) Went into work (on a Saturday, yuck) at 8:00. They told us it would hopefully not last as long as they expected (which was noon). 2 Men and a Truck started Friday moving the big furniture, thinking they'd have that all moved so today we could just fill stuff in ... yeah, they only got 1 van moved.

While I was working, Nick got to go to his cousin's graduation ceremony (7 beach balls, and a blow up doll got bounced around, now I'm kind of bummed I missed it). I did get to go to the reception. (Got done at work at 12:30 ... working solidly from 8:00 until 12:15ish when I took a break to eat some lunch).

And a side note, I called the nurse practitioner that put me on Metformin in January for my insulin levels, and she told me on Thursday (think that's when I talked to her anyway) that when I had my bloodwork done in March my insulin levels were low, so they were going to bump me from 1500 mg a day to 1000 mg a day (yeah, 1 less pill a day!!!)

Guess that's really all I have for now
