Oh our new beginnings

We tried coloring eggs. First we tried eating the eggs. Then beating them off the table. Maybe next year will be better. Miss Scarlet is now a big girl! No binkie for her. After a couple hrs of screaming, she gave in. So we are all free of the torment that is the binkie.

The work out is doing great. Yesterday I did a morning floor routine, a mile on the treadmill, and my Totally fit video. So far today I did a floor routine, moved my living room around and moved in the treadmill, and did 1.3 mile on the treadmill. Tonight I'll do the video and some love handle exercises. Gotta at least make it into some capris for summer.

Spring brings another new beginning

while cleaning out the junk from our home, it makes me think of a new beginning for alot of things. With putting on 2 lbs for the last 4 weeks, I start to wonder. What is it going to take for me to get serious? I've even found a way to get past my Brazilian watch dogs. The key is, is when you grocery shop, put your snacks on the counter instead of in your cupboards. Oh there is always a way! BUT, my waistline is NOT shrinking. So its Monday...

So its Monday and time for the beginning. With the ''BIG D" yesterday, my colon is clean! Step 1 complete. Step 2 is to exercise everyday. Maybe if my children will allow me to sleep I can get up and do a floor routine, watch the news, and have a cup of coffee. Note to self: ask children to sleep. Step 3: More culture. Thats a fun step. Just bought tickets to the opera. The marriage of Fiagaro. Its expensive, but worth it. I refuse to let life pass me by and not enjoy it. Step 4: look out Tristan. It's time to focus on potty training and learning more. Note to self: get Tristan to sit still for more than 10 seconds. Lastly is there time for step 5? Quilting. I know sisters, I'm an old woman. In this ever changing life, I would love to find time for quilting. Its my way I guess for a lil creative outlet. We'll see I guess.

I'm hopeful in the beginning of spring. Time for the dark cloak of winter to lift!! (and for the lift of these Fabulous boobies, butt, and a lil tucking of this tummy)

A cape for Jessie Rae...

I'm working towards my cape. They won't start it until I start losin weight instead of putting it on. So last post was on the 16, hmmmm whats happened since? Well at last weigh in I put on 2 lbs. Awesome. My excellence proceeds me! ha ha The new Fabulous Jessie Rae is a work in progress. The weight project is still to be seen. But adding a lil' coulture to my life has been great! I'm really enjoying my self with a big side of guilt. I've just seen Grease the musical and the opera Carmen. Carmen was spectacular. I am just a well rounded person.(I do mean "round") I will be amazing!! I'm working on not feeling guilty leaving my children. Also my Lil baby Jimmy past away. There never will be and never has been another special lil guy like him.

I never wanted children in highschool. Then I started working at CL&L and met my Jimmy, Chris, and Sean. Caring for them and loving them, we became a family. Working one on one with Jimmy, our relationship was special. Although he passed at 61, he was like one of my children. Our close relationship showed me that children would be a nessesary part of my life. I'll always love that lil stinker.

As always, life is changing. As am I. I am always a work in progress.

Man, them brazilian watchdogs!

Those Brazilian watch dogs are wicked! Everytime I look at the fridge or the snack cupboard I get greeted by these woman. Each and every one of those girls look at me and laugh. " Look girls, ewwww she's a fatty to fatty and we're so skinny and lying on a beach." All I get is attitude! lol So I walk away with guilt and make myself do a lil' floor routine. It's the guilt that does me in.

Well hopefully by the weekend I'll see results. Something needs to happen. Come on Fabulous Jessie Rae!!

OH MY GOD BECKY...

So surfing thru the channels I see Brazil butt lift. Hmmm... whats this? Another workout system. I know. But seeing people loosing 6 lbs in a week and their before and after pics, makes me feel like a lump! I've lost all motivation. I set goals, which is nice, but only work if you try and reach them. Ugh... This past week my goal was to loose 4 lbs. I PUT ON 2! Come on fatty to fatty!

So I'm gonna try something new. I worked out in my shorts and tank for the first time and saw myself. Holy Moly. Thats some nasty stuff. Wooooo! So new inspiration is I printed out pics of Brazilian swimsuit models cause they're curvier, and stuck them on my fridge and on the snack food cupboard. May sound funny, but I need something to scare me away from those 2 places. We'll see...

Fort MiMi

We built a fort today with Tristan, my parents, Aunt Erika, and Me(MiMi). My work out I guess. I was pretty sore before bed. What a cute lil' stinker

Weekly weigh in

Well I only lost 1 lb last week. BUT, I expected to gain so oh well. 1 lb is better than gaining. Besides, when you eat like a pig for a week you can't expect anything good to come of it. So Its time to get back on track. Went shopping with Beth and was sooo jealous. I wanted to shop for cute clothes!!! It sucks being a fatty fatty bo batty.

This weeks goal is to loose 4 lbs. Its a lot but it'll take me to the next set of numbers that I haven't seen in 2 yrs. I've lost 5 lbs in a week before so it can be done!

BETRAYAL

What a betrayal! I just found out that my mother has started working out behind my back! It was easy winning a weight loss contest when the person your against isn't excercising. Now mother is working out before work even! WHAT IS THAT... Judas. I guess I have to put down the slimjims, taffy, chips, and rice crispy treats. Yes, I have gotten WAY off track.

Note to self: quit being a pig

Ok, enough fun Jessie Rae. Time to start kicking butt. Vacation is over
