Can I get a bathroom crayon????

Odd title I know!! Ha I totally had an idea this morning and needed a bathtub crayon. Like the ones you buy your kids and they can write on the shower walls and it washes off. Okay point being my best ideas, thoughts an just general comments come while I'm in the shower. Odd maybe I like to think its generally because its early, and as a mom of 3 its almost the ONLY time I get ALONE!!!! I think it would be fun to have write my ideas and then have Brent get in the shower and freak the freak out!!!! Ha Ha Ha.

So first of all. THANK YOU to each and everyone of whom left comments for me to read this am, or sent me messages or chats. It means the world to me to not only see you encouraging me but to know that for some of you it inspires you. Let me add this. Come watch me run and you'll be inspire and get an amazing laugh while you are at it.

I don't know why running has been so hard for me. I enjoy it, but it freaks me out and I look well like I am 15 all over again trying to figure out how to walk and talk at the same time. Any ways there's my laugh for the day, you know you are picturing this girl on the treadmill falling off the back!!!! LOL

So not tonight, but soon I will post my "meal" plan. Like I promised in blog #1. Its funny how "things" "plans" change. Oh no here I go again. Change, no not really but yes maybe. I have totally changed my eating habits and in fact I get full way sooner than I ever ever ever did before. I find red meat difficult to eat. Any supplements I take I try to find "vegan" friendly. No, I am not vegan nor am I trying to become vegan. BUT I will tell you I have read much about it. I have a sister whom is full vegan and an entire in law family that is as well. There is much good in a vegan menu and lifestyle. I am attempting to cook and prepare at least one vegan friendly meal a week. (There's my vegan plug :))

I mentioned in a prior blog that I have found it difficult to reach my calories. I still struggle here and blame my eating habits to my stop in weight loss for about a month. I tired different things to move past this mountain, however I got stuck. I know why, but I feel that when I eat I am forcing myself to eat. I don't do well with that FYI. I also hate when people say "well what did you eat, well you know you HAVE to eat this YOU NEED to do that. I know the way to get your metabolism going you have to start your day off right, by EATING. The most IMPORTANT calories beside breakfast is right AFTER your workout. So I started carrying a banana, orange, shake something with me in the car when I go to the y. The calories you put in your body are so important.

As a female the next most important thing is a tape measure. You won't lose weight some weeks, however you will continue to lose inches. I messed up my "game" plan here people. I was so into the number on the scale this is where I discouraged myself the times before. If I didn't see that number decrease I stopped, gave up and worst of all allowed myself to FAIL. This time around I have learned to be happy with a maintain(no gain no loss). Because it means something somewhere got smaller.

As a result I get to go shopping, no I have to. All my old work pants don't fit and in fact this morning I felt like my dad was standing in front of me telling me "you are not leaving the house in that" "sorry you need a belt", well I don't own a belt so off came the pants and the one skirt I own that is actually getting big now too( insert :) here lol) went on.

Fried food=done with. I hadn't had fried food in awhile well actually I think I figured it to be 4 months and on Saturday I ate some and long story short. NOPE didn't go so smooth.

POP, there are have been VERY VERY few cases of soda drinking. In fact if I have it, it has been at an adult birthday party and diet, mixed with some vanilla something :). At that its almost too sweet.

Well my mind is starting to wonder!!!! So I will end here, but of course I must RECAP(ps if you hadn't noticed my recap generally(i seem to like this word) had nothing to do with my actual blog ahahaah)
