Bloggities

Today was one of those rare days I decide to look at blogs.  (Why oh why do I do this to myself?!?!?)  I look at other peoples family blogs, clothing blogs, craft blogs.  I don't take a ton of time, but within the hour or so of looking at these blogs I feel like I can do everything these ladies do and then I remember reality and start to feel like garbage.  Then I pull myself away long enough to realize that I put off cleaning, doing the HUGE pile of dishes, putting clothes away, studying, and food prep to look at blogs.  Those blasted blogs that make me feel like I am a homely homebody (I know, good alliteration), with an ugly apartment and no life.  So if anyone would like to write my paper for me, study for my upcoming test, and clean my house then maybe I will have time to shop and go... you know... hiking, and playing in the leaves, and cook gourmet meals for my family.  Oh and also have friends (I'm told having friends is a good thing).  There are so many things that are swirling in my head how I'm not good enough blah blah blah.  My brain just needs to shut-it.

I'm gonna go take 30 seconds to feel sorry for myself and then tackle dishes and hope that the kids can entertain themselves long enough for me to start some dinner.  It might be vegan pancakes for dinner for the 3rd time in 2 weeks.  No big deal.  At least I feed my family something, right? Right?

Also, if someone could just add more time to the day that would be great.  I keep turning back the hands on my watch, but no dice.  And I want this watch.

Well...

These last few weeks got out of hand really quick.  Its crazy how all plans go down the tube, when sleep is lost.  But I'm proud to say that both of my children slept through the night, in the same room.  Hopefully this will be a normal thing from now on, because, boy do I not function well when I don't sleep.  Geez, getting them to sleep in the same room was not a fun experience.  But I am happy to announce that my nutrition has been on point.  In the past month or so i have lost 7 pounds, without working out.  Like I said, I can't function, much less work out when I am going on 2-4 hours of sleep.  So I decided to not worry about missing my workouts, and just focus on nutrition.  Boy I did good. (Anyone who has really talked to me these past weeks know that I have not been the happiest with...well anything.  Its been a downer month, sad to say, I'm pretty sure no sleep had a lot to do with it.)  So let me just brag and celebrate for a minute. Those 7 lbs mean that I weigh less than I did before I got pregnant the first time.  It means that my husband has never seen me at this weight, because I weighed more than this when we were dating and even when we got married.  It also means that I am 4 lbs from my goal weight, but 9 lbs from my high school weight.  Now that my kids are sleeping again, I can actually get up and workout again.  My body has changed a bit from having kids (naturally) so I just have to tone up a bit more.  I'm pretty proud of myself.  Honestly if I can do it, anyone can do it.

Since I don't have any pictures of me yet, 'cuz we haven't been working out, I thought I would grace you with pictures of my kiddos.  Naturally they are better looking than me anyway.

Barely Alive

Well, school started last week, and I cant believe I'm still alive.  So many things to do, and we are still working on getting the kids to stay asleep during the night.  Roxy is waking up multiple times in the night so that we can take her potty, and Atticus wakes up because she is up.  I used to have two kids that slept through the night, now i have no kids sleeping.  I love them, its just really hard to work out when there is no energy to even get out of bed.  So yesterday I picked up where i missed a few days of Insanity.  Last week I lost two pounds, Im pretty happy about that, it took a little tweaking of the diet, but I'm feeling good.
