So, I have been going walking every night and do Jillian's shred. My pants are fitting looser, but I am not losing any weight. At least I'm getting active and I have more energy. I just want to look decent in Heather's wedding pictures. I have gained so much weight that I hate being in any pictures.
Today I am on duty at work all day, which I hate. I have to stay until 6:30 at night!
David graduates preschool tomorrow morning.

again?
So, I started the 30 day shred over again. Again? This is the 3rd time. Why can't I just be consistent? I love the workout and I love the results so why don't I just do it everyday? Because I'm lazy I guess.Heather's invites are going out tomorrow. God willing. After that, we have to start looking for a minister and for a florist. I haven't posted here in a while because I haven't had any time for me lately. I've been so busy, it's ridiculous.

Jillian has got to be kidding me
I'm on day 2 of level 2 of the shred and Jillian Michael's is insane.
She's killing me. She tells me not to stop. Take no breaks. I can hardly breathe!
I'm so excited and proud of myself when I finish the 20 minutes though--but she is really rough.
In the meantime, Omar, the contractor, made me a new mailbox yesterday and flower box and they both came out really nice. He did stamped concrete.
I can't wait until I can afford to stucco now. You can really see how bad the stucco is, now that the driveway is getting done.
I'm adding a 10x12 foundation in the backyard so I can create a pergola for barbecues and such. I also went to Lowe's and got Katie three 50 lb. bags of sand for her sandbox. I had to carry them by myself and they were soooooooo heavy. Sand is dead weight.
Once everything is done, I'll show her the sand. For now, I have the lid on her sandbox.

Driveway
I have someone coming to replace my driveway this morning. I'm excited because I really need a new driveway, but I hate giving up my money.
I've been waking up early again, with the start of summer. This is my favorite season for early morning sunrises. Each morning it's like a gift from God when I open my eyes in my bedroom and see the sun setting. Each morning it's beautiful, and each morning it's new. I don't have heavy curtains in my bedroom, so I can see the orange and gold hues coming in. I love getting up, drinking coffee outside, and watching it. My coffee maker broke again though, so having to drive to 7-11 every morning cuts into that "me" time and keeps me from being able to go outside and enjoy the morning.
Today is my last day of level 1 of the shred.
Elliott's new CD came out yesterday and I bought it. I like it. I think my favorite are Know Better, Fight for Love, and Don't Be Afraid.
I don't have anything scheduled for work today so I'm just going to be passing out my Avon. I have to stop by the bank today and give my driveway man, Omar, $2200. :()
Katie's birthday is coming up next month so I have to plan something for that. Heather wants a party. I would rather just take her somewhere.

I didn't want to do it.....
but at 9:30, I did the Jillian DVD. I hated every minute of it, but I'm glad I got it done. I knew if I didn't, I would skip tomorrow too, and there it would be--me giving up again.
I'm proud of myself for going forward. Even though I didn't want to.
I'm on day 6. 4 more days until level 2.
I haven't changed my eating habits at all. I probably should.
Besides that, I got some work done in the yard today. I feel accomplished. I have to work on the house tomorrow. It's a disaster.

Sooooo tired...
I got home from Bunco about 11:00 last night. I was so tired afterwards, but I had a lot of fun. Next time, we need more players, though. Anyone out there wanting to join...HOLLA!! LOL
So, I had to work at 8:00 this morning. I didn't want to work because I didn't want to crawl out of bed, but I did. I had to take 4 kids to visit their mom in a domestic violence shelter. It was sad. The mom is pretty much medicated and had little interaction with the kids.
Afterwards, I went to Pelona Vista and walked around with Katie while Desiree and Heather walked around the track. It was hot out. blech..I hate the heat.
I have to go to Costco to return a hose. I think I'll do it tomorrow.
Today I mowed the front lawn. I'm trying to keep it weed-free.
Hopefully I'll be able to get my driveway in two weeks.

Bunco Tonight
I'm going to play Bunco tonight with my friends from work, so I don't know whether or not I'll be able to work out today, but I will make up for it tomorrow if I don't get day 5 in today.
Pictures and post later.

Day 4 of the shred
I got 3 consecutive workouts done and I feel good about.
I've been so slow at work, just sitting around. I got more books from the library and feel like at least I'll be able to read those.
I came home at lunch to do day 4 of the Shred. I always feel so good afterwards, I don't know why I can't just make it a habit.
I had lunch at home too. Still trying to save money so I can get my driveway done. I want a fence more than the driveway, but can't get a fence until my driveway is leveled correctly.
Tonight is church and I'm debating on whether or not to take Katie. She's sick today though, so I probably won't go until next week. I really want her to be raised in church. I really want her to know and believe in Jesus Christ.

consistency
This morning I had to drag myself to do the Jillian DVD. Why can't I be consistent? It's always so much warmer under the blankets, and yet, after I work out, I do feel so much better. I would rather watch t.v., check my mail--almost anything, except for what's good for me.
I got through day 3 of the shred today. 7 more for level one, then I'll start level 2. I tried level 2 once--it's really rough!
This morning I'm making oatmeal and trying to eat a little better. I've been eating fast food a lot since I came back from South Carolina. Mostly from convenience because I haven't been grocery shopping.
Friday I have Bunco with some friends from my old job. I'm looking forward to playing with them.
I won the lotto on Saturday. I won $1 and bought my coffee with it. I was excited just with the dollar. What would happen if I won the jackpot?
I have a visit at work today, from 4:00-5:00. Other than that, I have nothing going on. It's been such a slow month for me.
I'm trying to save up to get a new driveway for my house. My old one looks so raggedy. Hopefully, I'll be able to get it in another 2 weeks. I'm turning in my mileage checks today. It will be so nice to have one, because right after that, I'll be putting up a fence. Yesterday while I was outside, bringing my groceries into the house, I happened to hear something, looked up, and saw a pitbull growling at me. I tried to pretend I was calm, but I was shaking inside. Katie was in the car asleep. I crept backwards into my car, very slowly, got in, and waited until Heather got home to take Katie. I was terrified he would come back and I didn't want to risk Katie getting attacked. I'm so tired of the neighbors letting their dogs run wild in the neighborhood. I'd like to let Katie outside to play, but the first thing she does is run towards the street, and my blacktop driveway hurts her feet.

My personal blog
This blog is just about me. It's about my daily life, and more of a journal than anything. Today is my first blog, Monday, April 27, 2009.
I am almost 4o. I'm growing everyday, but there is so much of me I want to change.
Here I will write prayer requests, things that amuse me, things I want to change about myself, things I like about myself, and just daily thoughts.
I also have a list of books I've read. Any listed are ones I've enjoyed. If I don't enjoy them, I don't finish them. I listen to audio books because I drive for a living and audio books make the ride enjoyable for me.
I'm overweight by about 30 lbs. That is one thing I want to change. I'm doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred again. I did it last month and lost about 2 inches, but when I came back from South Carolina, I never started again. I love Jillian from the Biggest Loser. Yesterday was my first day doing the Shred again. I really like that it's only 20 minutes, but it kills me!
Another thing is that summer is coming and I bite my cuticles to much that my fingers are destroyed and when I go swimming and they get wet from the water, they look disgusting and deformed. I would like to change that too, but I've been a lifelong nail biter. After my husband died, I started with the cuticle picking. It's a horrible, horrible habit and it's made me ashamed to even show my hands.
My relationship with God is almost non-existent now and I've noticed the change in my family because of it. That's another thing I want to change. I want to get back to church and stop making excuses and feeling sorry for myself, because in church is where I'm happiest.
