</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm worn out from a long day's work. The kids are in bed and the house picked up. I put the dishes away and wipe down the counters. My feet are tired and I'm feeling like I'm ready to fall over.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I go upstairs and do the whole ready-for-bed routine. I wearily crawl into bed, kiss Ryan and lie my head down on the pillow. I sigh a very long and dramatic sigh. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And then it starts.</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The never-ending list of things I should have done or that I now have to do in the morning. The fact that I forgot to do the last 3 minutes on my exercise video haunts me. I look at the clock. I think, "If I fall asleep NOW I'll still get 7 hours of sleep." And then my mind starts racing. I wrote some down for your enjoyment:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>Wedding shower ideas (I'm throwing on May 1st for Ryan's sister), how to get more piano students, how much I REALLY HATE the feel of cottonballs, where in the world is my MP3 player?, did I lock the van?, is there more than one mouse living in our garage, is mice poop deadly to children, I wonder where the rest of Carter's 3T clothes are in the garage, how can I organize the garage better?, I wonder what quote is on Brenda's chain tonight, I wonder how chinese class is going to be for my mom, I wonder how Aimee's Josh is doing, how are Donny's classes going, is Ashley going to need help moving and why hasn't our landlord cashed the rent check yet?, I can't wait for Girls' Camp because I love my Mia Maids so much, but how can I do it with only one car and if we take that time off work, how in the world is Ryan giong to make up the hours and his firm...and on...and on...and on!</em> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is HONESTLY what I think about. In any given minute.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I look at the clock again. I'm already tossing and turning. I'm waking Ryan up and already had to put Carter back in his bed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I get up to take Dawson to the bathroom. I crawl back into bed. I've only killed an hour. I need to get to sleep! "If I fell asleep NOW I'd still get 6 hours of sleep." I think to myself. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This will go on for the next few hours. Sometimes I get up and take a bath. I'll nod off in the tub and then get back into bed and...BING! <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Wide awake.</strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've been like this for a year. Official diagnosed as an Insomniac. I know it's normal to have periods of stress and not be able to sleep. But I'm different.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That's great. Add that to the list of problems with my body. It's like my body is saying,<span style="font-size: large;"> <em>"I DARE you to loose your weight!"</em></span><em> </em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's now 3 am. I get three hours of sleep. I step on the scale and my heart drops. BLAH!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm stuck! I am not trying to excuse my weight for going up 8 pounds over the last 5 weeks, but the combination of medication I'm on and not sleeping makes me HUNGRY. Not hungry...starving. I'm like a puzzle trying to fit the pieces together. I'll get it together. (thankfully some of that is water weight!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm NOT stressed. That's the funny thing. This is life. Balancing being a wife, mom, cook, blah blah blah. I'm just trying to figure it out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I do deep breathing, hot bubble baths, yoga, stretching, no caffeine past lunchtime, self soothing and even self-hypnosis for helping me relax. I write down all my thoughts before bed to make them get OUT of my head so I can sleep! I'm doing the right stuff! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Stay tuned for more rantings of a walking zombie!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

You can't lose weight when you're stressed. I'm not sleeping well either. My insomnia gets bad when I'm stressed. <span style="font-size: large;"><em>That's a double-whamy...talk about my world imploding! </em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">These are my reasons for slacking:</span><br />
-Sick kids (what's new!)<br />
-Company from out of town (always welcome!)<br />
-Road trips out of state (I like Cache Valley, Utah)<br />
-Meetings and church responsibilities (YW is sure fun, but BUSY!)<br />
-Several trips to the doctor (Dawson has strep, I can't sleep)<br />
-Ryanna's surgery (tonsills/adenoids)<br />
-Spring Break with absolutely, postively NO structure and routine<br />
-Ryanna's birthday (she turned 8)<br />
-Ryanna's baptism and party<br />
-Planning a Bridal Shower for my sister-in-law <br />
-Helping with a GIGANTIC Mia Maid/Teacher activity this week....AHHHHHHH!<br />
<br />
I haven't lost a pound. I have been working out though. That's my OUTLET. How I'm able to cope. I admit that I have been eating more off-program than ON-program. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But I'm back on track and looking forward to my trip to Northern Idaho in 2 months, 3 weeks and 6 days.</span> But who is counting? This week I'll get the pictures on the sidebar uploaded and updated. I'm hitting this month HARD and I'll keep you posted on my progress.<br />

<br />
I finally found my measuring tape and took some measurements and this is what I found:<br />
<br />
- 1 inch off arms<br />
- 2 inches off hips (is that all? I am doing a million squats...come ON!)<br />
- 2 1/2 inches of waist <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">TOTAL lost is 5 INCHES in the last month!</span> Just in the last month! My weight has just kinda lingered around the same area for the last couple weeks, I need to get back in the SERIOUS grove again. I need to hit ketosis and STAY THERE! <br />
<br />
<strong>My total inches lost since 11/1/09 is around 15 inches.</strong> That's OVER A FOOT! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><em>Hey whadda ya know? I shrunk by a foot.</em></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The challenge:</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">NOT NIBBLING or sneaking a single bite of delicious-smelling deep fried corndogs and Pringle Chips that the kids had for lunch. (I know, really healthy, right?) <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The cure:</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">DISTRACTING MYSELF by singing a song and the only song that popped into my head was "That Thing You Do!" and I proceeded to sing it while I served lunch. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It totally worked. <em>My mind was elsewhere and I didn't take a bite!</em><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><em><span style="font-size: large;">I'm stressed.</span></em> My boys are fighting over the same Spiderman car and screaming. My phone is ringing off the hook. The garbage disposal is making that funky noise again. <em>And WHERE is that awful smell coming from?</em><br />
</div><br />
My hair isn't done, my make-up not applied, my contacts aren't even in. I barely made it until breakfast and I dash about the house getting Ryanna ready for school and hope she's not late for the bus. I want to EAT. Something chocolatey. Something fattening. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I restrain myself...but I still have the inkling. The hankerin' for something yummy. Who cares that it's only 8:42 in the morning?!!! My poor neck muscles are very tense and I'm starting to feel myself shake from the stress. Most days I can handle it, but for whatever reason, I'm really NOT coping well. I usually would turn to food as a coping mechanism, but that's exactly the BAD HABIT I'm trying to break! <span style="font-size: large;">WHICH EVEN ANGERS ME MORE!!!!!</span> I WANT that stinkin' little Oreo cookie. Or the entire bag. <br />
</div><br />
This is usually what can trigger one of my migraines, and I'm REALLY not in the mood. I need to be anxiously engaged in my to-do list and not down on the couch with some headache.<br />
<br />
I try something. I take <em>away</em> that stupid Spiderman car. I turn the t.v. onto Nick Jr. and sit the boys down in front of it. (I don't do it THAT often!) I go upstairs and sit on my bed.<br />
<br />
I close my eyes entering a "no-thought-zone" and inhale deeply. My mind is FLOODED with thoughts about what's on my to-do list, who I need to call back, the thank you notes that I still have to write.....and on and on and on. I accept each thought, and remind myself that I have it all written down on the to-do list.....<span style="font-size: x-large;"><em><strong>HENCE THE TO-DO LIST!!</strong></em></span> <br />
<br />
I calmly remind myself that I have a goal. To achieve my weight-loss goal I need to keep up the will-power. It's a mind over matter. My brain is telling me that I want that Oreo, not my stomach. My brain is saying that I'm stressed and I'll find resolution with those 70 calories. NOT! I'll feel WORSE after I eat it. And enter awful CYCLE that I got into years ago. Exactly what I'm NOT going to let happen. I want the long-term and not the short-term satisfaction.<br />
<br />
I imagine myself in Kohl's searching the clearance racks for that new shirt that's a size that I haven't fit into since I got married. Or going bathing suit shopping (also at Kohl's...duh!) for when I go to Hawaii this fall and how I want to knock Hubby's socks off. I say to myself... <span style="font-size: x-large;"><em>"If you can believe <strong>in</strong> it, you can believe it. And if you can believe it, you can make it happen!" </em></span><span style="font-size: small;">I imagine myself in a real-life setting and I can nearly SMELL the store. That's exactly what I WILL have happen. </span><br />
<br />
I love that saying. At this point, commercials have plagued the boys' program downstairs on Nick Jr., and I hear them starting to need my attention again. I take another couple quick cleansing breaths and open my eyes. I smile and get off my bed. I feel suddenly refreshed, my body is no longer shaking, I don't want that stupid Oreo and it's no longer taunting me!! <br />
<br />
I think that I'll be able to survive this day. Those stupid Oreos did NOT get the better of me.Just Only Mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12746456548866345825noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393277537157493197.post-85068336032870095992010-01-04T08:20:00.000-08:002010-01-04T08:20:25.835-08:00burn, baby, burn!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiup__4ib0klJrH1x-IS1FCh7id44bAXV-EUHRdbQ7_Qnw0U1BFp6sD1DU0D7zU3KV7pcR8XTkM9Asak25agPXkBCuq_CBORMkq4CLzT_yejN3lL4KbmuJpY57AVph8a2qzZBY1n8YJK236/s1600-h/scale.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiup__4ib0klJrH1x-IS1FCh7id44bAXV-EUHRdbQ7_Qnw0U1BFp6sD1DU0D7zU3KV7pcR8XTkM9Asak25agPXkBCuq_CBORMkq4CLzT_yejN3lL4KbmuJpY57AVph8a2qzZBY1n8YJK236/s640/scale.jpg" /></a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Did you have a wonderful Holiday Season? I sure did. <span style="font-size: x-large;"><em> I allowed myself to indulge a little and I ate chocolate!</em></span> It was delicious and had a couple nibbles of this and that was so NOT on the program.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I bought myself a little present the other night. I wanted a new DVD of Turbo Jam, but since they're kinda hard to find them (you can buy them directly from Beach Body but it's expensive and I'm too impatient to wait for ebay) so I ran to Hastings and bought myself a new workout DVD. I love The Firm. (not as much as Turbo Jam, but it's a close second)<br />

</div>I realized the other day that exercising is a mind over matter for me. I love to sweat and I surprise myself how strong my body actually is becoming. It's amazing to me after a workout session, I feel excellent! I love to sweat and look forward to it daily. The weirdest realization I've had though? I LOVE lower body exercises. I LOVE squats! I normally HATE it and don't do them, but the stronger I get the more I enjoy them. I can actually push myself harder without killing myself off.

The 15th of the month is my date to weigh and take measurements!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><em>I've lost another 11.2 pounds!</em> <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS IS 41.2 poundage!!</span><br />
</div><br />
(I'm frustrated though--because I didn't lose as much this month as I did last month. I've chalked it up to the workouts and the fact that I'm building muscle. I can feel that my legs are stronger!) <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I started partying to Turbo Jam on 11/1/09</span>. I only did it 3 times a week for the first week, and then increased it to 4 and 5 times a week in beginning of December. Fast forward to now, I exercise every day and love it!<br />
<br />
I took my measurements:<br />
<br />
Arms: -2<br />
Waist: -4<br />
Hips: -3<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I've lost a total of 9 inches!!!</span> <br />
</div><br />
Just in the 6 weeks that I've been working out to Turbo Jam! I can stick with the exercise because I don't kill myself to the point of exhaustion, but I work hard. I sweat. I drink tons and tons of water. I absolutely love it! PICTURES TO COME TOMORROW!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The experts say</span> that we need to drink half of our body weight in ounces of water daily. If you're like me, water is <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>SO BORING!</strong></span> I drink it out of necessity to aid my weight-loss habit, but I don't really enjoy it. Every hour I guzzle 8 ounces of water no matter what.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If I get tired of normal tasteless water, I have to get <span style="font-size: x-large;"><em>creative.</em></span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I fill up a pitcher and add a little bit of Crystal Light. Or some sliced lemon. Or some sliced cucumber. I also drink a lot of herb tea during the day. Mmmmmmmmmm! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The benefits that I've noticed since I started this program:</span> <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">-my hair is so much more shiny and feels more healthy<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">-my skin is brighter and more supple<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">-my body has adjusted to the higher water intake and I don't spend all day in the bathroom<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">-I feel fuller longer<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">-I just feel <span style="font-size: x-large;"><em>CLEANER!</em></span><br />
