So, this is my personal blog, and I am a woman, so yes, some personal female things might come to pass on this blog, so husbands beware!!! You might have already read our family blog, and saw that my grandpa passed away. Well, let me tell you about the flight there.
I decided to fly just one way, and then drive back with my brother and his fam. The flight itself went great. Security and check in, I sailed through, so then I just had to sit and wait. Lucy fell asleep in the terminal, and overall, she flew just fine. She is a pro at flying, considering, all of our flying for my reunion. Anyway, the flight to SLC is so easy. You are up then down. Well, little did I know, Mother Nature had a different plan for me.
Think about ladies. Yep, that's right. She has come for a visit. Now, this is my first visit since I got pregnant with Lucy, so it really is like starting all over again for me. I felt no signs of her arrival until I was exiting the plane, and there she was. No, remember, I am flying alone with just Lucy in a front pack carrier, and to top it all off, I was wearing khaki shorts. Mortified, I RUN to the bathroom, and with Lucy still strapped on, I see what I knew was coming. This has NEVER happened to me in all my years of "womanhood." Luckily, I was prepared. But still, I am wearing khakis, and yes, I leaked.
Again, what do I do? I wrapped Lucy's small blanket around the front of my shorts and just book it to baggage claim. My aunt Becky was waiting to pick me up, and the sooner I can take care of this, the better. I just hope that Lucy 's legs covered it as much as possible, before the blanket took it's grand role for the day. I get to Becky's, change my clothes, and go on with My weekend with Lucy.
How embarrassing is that ladies?

I messed up
We went camping this last week, and well, I might have fallen off the band wagon, once or twice. It is so easy for me to forget to eat the right amounts of the right foods, and not to eat the bad foods. I did go for one super good hike (thanks to Joy, who kicked my trash) and it was super hot, so hopefully with that I only maintained. Oh well, when one is on vacation, one is on vacation.
I had sometime to think. Not much time, since Nick was gone golfing for 5hours, and I had to watch the kids, but the time by myself (shower, and bedtime) I was thinking about where I want to be. I am not happy with myself right now. No real person wants to be a size 14, so with that "self disappointment" I know I can get to my happy place. I have supported others, and again, it is time to support me. I think I should have a sponsor, you know like AA meetings, if I feel I am going to "slip" I can call that person and they can talk me out of whatever I need talking out of. So, here is to Monday to get back on and stay on. I am going to Utah for a funeral, but hoping with my skinny cousins watching, I will put down the chips and grab a carrot.

Yay! for sleep.
Well, last night I conquered the insomnia. I slept. I went to bed around 9:45 and just closed my eyes, and the next thing I remember was Lucy squirming. It was 1 am. I was so happy, I jumped up, got her and fed her her bottle. It was amazing.!!!
My sister, Alicia, had recommended melatonin, but I forgot to get some yesterday. I was just happy that I was able to sleep, but most importantly, happy that other people were having the same issue and were able to recommend some natural herb remedy. I didn't want to have to take any medicine every night, but this is an herb, and is said to be non habit forming. It is just something that your body needs, and it helps your body relax and fall asleep.
It was so blasted hot yesterday, but I ventured to the gym. I can't let heat, or cold, or rain, or kids get in the way of my time at the gym. Those excuses are what got me to this wretched weight in the first place. I am happy to say that today I will be wearing a cute red skirt that I haven't been able to wear comfortably in quite some time. I am also excited to get all the clothes out that have been stored away in the garage. I don't need to buy stuff, I just need to wash all the stored clothes. Results, although small, are still results that make the goal ahead seem more reachable.

Insomnia
Oh, don't you just hate when you get a stupid song stuck in your head, and it literally keeps you up all night. Well, that is where I sit right now. Stinking Black Eyed Peas. Anyway!
Today, was funny. Lucy woke up at her usual time, (when daddy leaves for work) but this time she did not go back to sleep. So, time to start my day. Well, at 9am we were watching a cartoon, I was feeding Lucy a bottle, and that was the last thing I remember. 55 minutes later, Emmah, was tapping on my leg asking for a snack. I looked at the time, and could not believe that I dozed off. It felt nice, but it was a sluggish way to really start.
My workout was fabulous. What is it about a good sweat? I mean I am talking about the beads running down your face, throat dry, and yes, even the boob sweat. It was amazing. I love this bootcamp on Thursdays, I am really starting to see small results. In fact, yesterday I wore a pair of shorts that had been hiding out since Bosston was born. It is a new sense of freedom for me. Nick is doing amazing too. He is gung ho on his bike, and it is going to be time to go shopping for him. I love my husband, and the support we give each other.
Okay, I thought the computer screen would make me sleepy, but it is not working. I will try something else. But you know, as soon as I fall asleep, my dear, sweet Lucy will wake up. Tomorrow, I have things to do, so I need to be able to function. Sleep come... enter Sandman....

I wonder why I do the things I do. I say, "YES!" to play dates only to remember the mess they bring. I bend over backwards to make other people happy, to help and support them, with no "thanks" given in the end. Well, my friends, today, I had a thought. I am going to say, "NO!" It is okay to say no. Everyone else says it, and so today, I am going to say it.
I took my children to school lunch, and afterward they asked if we could go to the park. Well, I said yes to them only to say no to the housework that was waiting for me. When I pulled up to the park, my phone rang. It was Nick, my awesome second half. We call each other throughout the day to say, "I love you" and to see how one's day is. I started crying. What is wrong with me? The tears are just flowing down my cheeks as we discuss the happenings of the morning. This is when I decide to be selfish, to take care of ME first, and others second. Yes, of course, I am still going to be the same chipper supporter, only with some reservations on invites, and encouragement. Does this make sense. Sometimes in my head, I can not express the same way on screen. So, here's to me and you. Take time for yourself.

Welcome!
Welcome to my blog. I started a weight loss blog after Lucy was born, but forgot the password, and well, just really didn't like it so much, so I thought I would start another blog that I access through my family blog. This is mine. A place where I can come to vent, laugh, express, and just let it all out. I will take comments, suggestions, and funny pieces of what not's. This is the space!
