I took a break

It wasn't intentional, I just took a break.  I don't really know why; other than I've been a little cranky, crazy and quite frankly not in a good mood.  Gee, I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that at the start of the year I was twenty pounds over my happy weight.  You think?  I am down ten pounds and have ten more to go.  I  know many of you (the three and a half people that read this) have been in utter despair and I am sorry for this.  

How I lost the ten pounds - The Martinez and I were taught how to eat REAL food by an amazing friend of her's.  She made meal plans for us and everything; she is amazing and super nice.  I wish she could come live in my house and slap my hand when I reach for an OCP.  Except she wouldn't slap my hand because she is that nice.  Before we started that eating plan I had started reigning it in and lost a couple of pounds, then I lost the rest with her eating plan.  I kind of fell off the band wagon a little, but now I am back on with the occasional treat here and there.  I am eating mostly what we learned from her (spinach salads, veggies, smoothies, eggs, turkey bacon) but I am also logging in Lose It!  Which means if you want to be my Lose It! friend, you should start logging!  I already have one friend, thanks V!

So, since I've been absent for forever and a day, I thought I would give you a recap of what you have missed:

1.  The holidays.  They were great, as always.  I am so blessed I can't even count that high.  J got to be home for every holiday function, which we didn't think was going to happen; so that was super cool.  Below are some photos of the holiday cheer.  






2.  I became obsessed with making wreaths for a hot minute.  I still like making them, I just don't dream about them now.






I am not an OSU fan; I made this for one of E's teachers.
3.  I decided to be Martha Stewart and tried making candy and pies.  The candy was ugly but tasted amazing and the pies were pretty but did not taste right.





4.  I got fat.  This could possibly be the result of eating my failures noted in number three.

5.  Martinez and I worked out at work for three days in a row.


6.  Do got a new bed.


7.  I am slightly obsessed with Flight 370.  Seriously?  Where did it go?  This only intensifies my fear of flying and my fear of planes falling from the sky.  Yes, I fear planes falling from the sky.  Like just straight down. On me.  

8.  My kids got cuter.  I know you didn't think this was possible.  But, it happened.





9.  E has started another barrel racing season and she is amazing!



10.  Last but not least; I'm fairly certain that mermaids are real.  Yes, I'm still on that.  Basically, all of my research should classify me as a marine biologist.  With honors.

That is all for now.  Do you feel caught up?

  2. Well, I wasn't like calling you out but if you got the app, we could totes be friends :) Last week I got up at 5:30 and did Pilates. The last two days I've gotten up at 5:00 to get my Pilates on. I guess I'm crazy too. 5:00 am club!! There has not been a new show and the last I looked that website had still been seized!!
