It's Quiet......Too Quiet.

I can't help but feel that this is the calm before the storm. It's not even noon and I've already crossed everything off of my To-Do List for the day. I've been looking for things to do for about an hour. The office is eerily quiet with only 3 of us in the entire building. The phones aren't ringing, I'm not getting any e-mails. I'm not really complaining, but I know this afternoon is going to be painfully boring.
Work isn't the only place that I'm feeling the calm. Our Zumba classes have been so dead the past couple of weeks. I know they will pick up fast after New Years because of all the weight loss resolutions, and I can't wait! We will be starting 2012 off with a bang! Super excited for the new Zumba stuff that is to come!
I posted a blog last year, and haven't posted many since, about my New Year resolutions. In 2011 I lost over 40 pounds, and I'm looking to lose another 50-60 in 2012. I tried to keep it in control over Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I think I did okay. Better than I have before at least. I tried boxing with two of my friends, and REALLY liked it, but I don't know if I'll have to time to do it now. Maybe over the summer or after graduation. The plan is to keep up the diet and Zumbaing, and try to fit in other workouts when I can. I'm really looking forward to ending 2011, and starting 2012 fresh!

Stop Ghosting Yourself

Let’s be honest. Do you know anyone who isn’t busy? Probably not.  WE ARE ALL BUSY. Kids, spouses, pets, jo bs, extracurriculars, birthday parties, vacations, sick/injured family, etc. We all have full plates, chores to do, and grocery orders to pick up!  I don’t like to start a blog post with tough love, but I think it’s necessary today!  Truthfully, if this hurts your feelings, you probably need to hear it. You are not too busy to take care of yourself. I’ll say it again. YOU are NOT too busy to take care of YOURSELF. I know you. You get lunches packed and kids off to school. You work hard at your job. You go to the grocery store, the post office, work the concession stand at the ball game. You come home, help with homework, cook dinner, give baths, and do the bedtime routine. Oh then, you pick up the house. Everyone around you is taken care of and happy as can be…but where does that leave you? How do you feel? If I had to guess, I’d say you are happy that your family is happy, but s

My Secret Sauce

I think you know by now that I am pretty candid about what’s going on in my life. Consequently, I am also candid about what’s going on in the lives of those around me.  So, here’s a quick update to bring everyone up to speed who maybe haven’t watched my stories and posts as diligently as I would like...  Matt has been experiencing a lot of pain, and recently had a surgery in an attempt to relieve that pain. The jury is still out on whether or not there is improvement because, much like when you do a simple home repair, you fix one thing, 3 more pop up. He also started a new chemo this week. It has definitely felt like a super steep uphill battle the past few months, but I will go more in depth with everything another day. Logan is almost 1. He is walking, talking, and destroying constantly. I am still working from home full time. Both a blessing and a curse for many reasons. I started a thing called 75 Hard, at which I initially rolled

Happy C-Section Awareness Month!

Image
I recently learned that April is Caesarean Section awareness month. I had never given it much thought, but now, having experienced it myself, I feel the need to celebrate the c-section mamas. In movies and TV shows, there is always that beautiful birth moment - you know the one. The crying, sweaty, exhausted mama feels she can’t go on. Then someone holds her hand and gives her the encouraging speech she needs for one last push. Just then, you hear the unmistakable sound of a newborn baby crying as they place him or her on the moms chest. *cue music* Now, I don’t know if that’s really how it goes or not because I never made it there!  My doctor knew Logan was going to be a big boy, and suggested that I schedule a c-section.  I thought to myself “noooo way! (That’s scary.) You are not taking my beautiful, made-for-movies moment away from me! (Also, I’m scared.) You don’t know what I’m capable of, lady! (Petrified of that option actually.) I’ve got this!!” You guys, I didn’t have it. I di
