A Mix............

Well, Sunday was a mix. The time change definitely effected me. Seeing how I totally forgot, as well as my husband. I kinda threw our afternoon into a rushed mess. We made it to the party on time and the kids really had a great day. Just getting there was stressful. We managed. It was another day with Dad at home , he even went to the party and watched the boys so I could hold my friends new baby-for 2 whole hours-it was wonderful-I even got to feed her:) We enjoyed a late afternoon movie and ate dinner a 7:30. No one got up on time this morning but really what is one late day in the whole scheme of things?

I bet you are wondering how My Life Changing In 3 Easy Steps thingy is going. Well I am not taking second helpings at meals, however I did notice I loaded my plate pretty heavy last night. So next month I will add -"I will not overload my plate" to my ongoing list of healthy changes. I did exercise today at the gym and yesterday I walked around Wal-Mart for 2 hours. I am really trying not to complain about my schedule...that is the really tough one. I am glad I was specific about what I was complaining of or it would be impossible. I never realized what a complainer I am. I think I will spread that change over many months. After all I don't want to get too discouraged.

Change Your Life In 3 Easy Steps

A dilemma..hmmm. Some may say no . For me I SAY YES!!!! I can't make it work, no matter what I try I cannot make it work. All I want to do is workout at the gym 2 to 3 days a week. preferably in the mornings, afternoon is acceptable. But evenings are out of the question, I have enough trouble sleeping at night. My current gym offers daycare 3 times a week, only one of the times I am able to use. However that daycare will close at the end of March. So I looked at another gym, same problem. Because of my kids schedules I can only use that gym one day a week also. Another gym offers no day care at all. That leaves one gym left...I am hoping.

I am also considering a workout video. I did that years ago and it worked. It took a long time and extreme dedication, but it did work. And I AM desperate. So I will try the videos at the library, I may go to the gym on Wednesdays and use the daycare. I will still use my regular gym (no day care at the end of the month) when I can get a sitter and possibly on the weekends. Plus I've got to wire my jaw shut! Exercise and wiring my jaw should do it! Really I have little self control. Food is comforting and familiar.


Alright I can't really wire my jaw shut, but I might be able to do something else. Recently I read an interesting article about changing your life patterns in 3 easy steps. 3 steps a month that is. Try it with me. Today, right now list 3 things you will/will not do for an entire month.

1. I will not have seconds at meals.
2. I will exercise in some way everyday.
3. I will not complain about my schedule.

Okay it starts right now...no turning back. We can do this. April 9 th I will add 3 more and so on... What have I got to loose besides 20? pounds!
