A Tall, Black, Funny Guy? What?

Take the Quiz

I saw on Becky's website that she was a match with Brad Pitt...didn't really surprise me! I bet mine won't surprise some either!

My Other Goddaughter!

Now that I understand how to upload a video, I put up the other video that I've had since Christmas that I just love. This is my other goddaughter, Victoria (and a little bit of Kaylei) doing their dance recital finale, Silent Night. They have done this ending ever since they started dance...so it's neat to see how they grow each year. I wish I would have been able to get a better angle, but oh well!

Testing Out Video

I wanted to test my ability to put video on my site. This is from my goddaughter, Samantha's birthday!

Stir Crazy

So the weather is really getting to me. I'm finally getting over my cold but I'm stuck inside because of the weather. I haven't started running again because I still have a cough that acts up. The weather isn't even that bad and we didn't have school yesterday or today. I attached a picture of what the dogs and I have been doing a lot lately....vegging infront of the TV and of the ice after the first storm. That's how thick the ice was on my car! Randy and I definitely worked hard on chipping all of that off.

I need help from someone who knows how to download videos. I can't get mine to download and I have some cute ones I want to put online.

On another note, I took a quiz online and I don't have an eating disorder...I'm sure you're thinking...duh..but I thought maybe I had a food addiction because there are some days I just can't say no, but turns out my thoughts on food are normal (according to the online survey) So now I'm going to ask all you other normal people, how do you tell yourself no, you don't need it. Because I struggle. Especially when I'm out in public. I know that what I say to myself sets me up for failure...like...go ahead you deserve it... but what thoughts do I replace it with?

Back In The Saddle Again!

I ran today on the treadmill. Something I had not down in about 2 weeks. I know that's a long time. I've been so stressed about other things that I haven't been worrying about my health. But because of the snow tonight, winter guard practice was canceled and I could run. I don't have school tomorrow and I plan on running again. Yeah for snow! It's helping out my health!

Strugglin'

I have to check in and tell everyone that I am really struggling with eating well and working out. This last week I told myself at the beginning of the week, if I didn't work out, it was no big deal because I had color guard almost every night of the week and I knew I would be pressed for time. Well, it was the wrong message to send to myself, because on Tuesday I didn't have any school, a treadmill in my home, and I didn't work out!

And the eating healthy is not really working well for me either. If there is junk food around, I eat it. Friday at work they had cake, chips and dip. Killer! It's like I have not willpower.

To top it off I'm so tired all the time. Today I took a two hour nap and I feel like I could go to bed right now!

I know that I'm over scheduled and I am lacking sleep. Why do I need so much sleep to function!?! I have lots of friends who don't get eight hours a night and function well. What am I don't wrong?

I'm feeling a little frustrated right now, can you tell?

I DIDN'T STRESS EAT!

So the last two days have really messed with my working out. We had at least four tornadic storms roll through Republic on Monday night. I was taking shelter from the time I got home until about 9:30 off and on and then again at 2:30 a.m. Then on Tuesday night I planned on going to sleep early because of the stress from the night before, BUT Randy's car stopped working. We finally got it started and dropped it off at the mechanics last night. I wanted to stress eat so bad because we really don't have a lot of extra money to fix the car, plus we had to fix the furnace yesterday too. So I called a friend on the way to the shop and got a good pep talk, thanks Jennifer! Then when I got home I closed my eyes and envisioned a healther me and thought about the food I wanted to eat. Then I thought that the food wouldn't get me closer to the goal or make the car work either, so I didn't eat!

Jennifer told me to stay positive and it turns out I should have. It was a small part that cost about $250, way better than what Randy thought it was (his transmission). So...I didn't need to stress...and even though I did, I didn't eat it away!

One for the calendar!
