Fitness Friday

Well. I am back to writing down all I eat and exercise. It is HARD. Most things that I find "worth it" are a sacrifice. Interesting, no?

I attended Weight Watchers for the first time in over a year this past Tuesday. I know that by doing that, I have a ready made support system and am accountable. Stepping on the scale regularly makes it so you know exactly what you are up against. People who ignore this step, have a hard time being successful in getting to or staying at a healthy weight.

I have also started exercising again. Now, I am not crazy, but seriously, exercise rocks. I feel better and my body seems to work better. The combo of eating healthier and moving is amazing. I have tried to get in three workouts a week. I have walked with a friend, and done P90X so far. I better get something in while Reuben is working later this morning. (Pretend I wrote this last night instead of Saturday morning.)

I will keep you posted on my progress each week. Last week I lost two pounds with not really watching what I ate, but I was starting to exercise and that probably is what did it. Weight loss rarely happens without a conscious effort. Those skinny girls I used to hate, really don't have a magical metabolism. They actually pay attention to what they put into their mouths and move more. I have to remind myself of that. Making up an excuse to stay unhealthy because I, "must be made differently," just doesn't cut it anymore.

NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!

Tag line Thursday

Here are a few of the things you might hear Alice say a lot:

"Swearing is contagious."

"Thanks for shopping our kmart," as kids leave my class.

When asked how I am, "I'm spamtastic!"

"Smell ya later"

"See ya in the future."

Short but sweet today.

Three Wacky Things

Wackiness.
1. All kids in health class 2nd hour. I don't think that has happened since the beginning of school.
2. Indian food is no bueno for Ellis. I need to avoid that while we are still nursing. He spit up so much the day after we are that Indian food!
3. I didn't remember how I got to work yesterday. Sometimes we just don't pay attention when we're driving.



Ellis is plain cute. Not too wacky.

True Confession Tuesday

Hi. I added to Tuesday's possible subject. Today is True Confession Tuesday. I just may start making an alliteration theme on a whim. I am so whimsical. 

True confession is where you are brutally honest about yourself. It is very freeing!! Thanks to MBCB, a former roommate and amazing friend, true confession came into my life and changed it forever. 

True Confession:

1. I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting tonight, and then went to a pizza buffet. I guess I'll start tomorrow. 

2. I hate Jane Austen, but LOVE Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Add zombies to Victorian Brittish literature and I like it. I love zombies. 

3. I take too hot and too long of showers. 

4. I sometimes wear clothes more than once without a wash in between. 

5. I love facial hair. Not on me, but Reuben looks great fuzzy. Too bad he isn't a fan of sporting facial hair. 

Have a great day. You know who's fault it is if you don't!  

Cheers. 

Mommy Monday

Being a mommy makes me tired. That's all I have for tonight.
