I know I just went on about how wonderful the scale is and you should make nice with it and not be afraid and not take fluctuations to heart. Well, the very next morning and weigh-in after that post, I noticed about a 4 lb. fluctuation. I. Freaked. OUT!
How do I let myself feel guilty for taking time for myself when my reward is feeling alive, energized, and happy? That sure beats dull, tired, depressed mommy.
Dear New Year,
You’re mine.
So someone told me I should be posting more. I have to admit I’ve avoided this blog like the plague. I was doing so well, I was down 20, 25 pounds, doing everything I needed to be doing. I felt like I had everything under control for a few moments.
But then something happened.
beinglesslame asked: You should keep blogging you were doing good!!!!
ok, ok, ok. I’ll come out of my shameful hiding.
No matter how busy I find myself, no matter how many excuses I make, Today I will NOT:
1) Eat candy for breakfast.
2) Skip any meals.
3) Bake anything or eat fast food.
Today I will:
1) Drink plenty of water.
2) Do one of my workouts. .
3) Remember to take care of ME.
Some commercials just resonate with kids. Even after watching it about 20 times in a row, they still laugh. I don’t get it…

This is another “what the *&#$ am I gonna make for dinner real quick?” kind of moment. The kids had been at the Theme Park all day and came home expecting to have dinner ready. I thought they were going to eat somewhere for dinner. That was a fun dilemma. And ensuing argument. But oh well, I made this incredible dinner in about 20 minutes.

I never know what to do with Turkey Kielbasa, yet I still buy it. I’m not a big meat or sausage fan, but it needed to be cooked and I had some veggies that needed to be used, so I made a pasta salad.
