I'm back!

Well it must be that time of year again where I feel the need to update the good ol' blog. This post will be a mishmash of things as there as always many crazy things happening in life. First, I just emerged from the dark three day hole of "The Hunger Games". The dishes need doing, the laundry needs folding, and the kids are probably starving (I kid, I kid). Such a good book series, I really couldn't put it down, and I highly recommend you check it out from your local library (or buy off of amazon). So good. Sigh. I am still mourning the fact that it's over. AND I know when you read the description it sounds like a weird book (I was also skeptical), but TRUST ME.  So, on to things that DON'T make me sounds like a huge nerd or a neglectful mother....

I am publicly recommitting myself to my health goals. I've had a hard time the last couple of weeks, and I'm having a harder time getting back on the horse. Which is weird, because I feel awful so you think that would be enough. But its a total downward spiral where I feel like crap, then I'm tired and sluggish, and then I don't want to cook dinner, so I do something easy like pizza and then I feel like crap... you see the pattern. And it's so funny, and I know you all have experienced this, that even though I think I have officially gained back 2 pounds, I feel like everyone is looking at me and THEY CAN SEE IT, like the 2 pounds are just huge packs of hamburger meat slapped to my butt. But here I am. I have 10 pounds to go, and these last ten have been the hardest. One day I'll get gutsy enough to post before and afters (My hesitation is that I'm wearing a 2 piece, and I'm not sure if I'm ready for the whole world to see that, haha) :). If anyone is interested in how I've been doing it (I started about a year ago), it's been the eat clean diet and P90X. I truly couldn't think of a healthier and more logical way to lose weight.


Dance classes have started up for Kam again. She's taking a ballet/tap combo class and is loving it. And poor Annabelle has to watch with her face pressed to the glass, she is DYING to go in. Calvin has also started soccer. I'm loving the warm days and sitting in the grass at practice. I'm sure all that will change when the rain starts up again. : ) But I have been loving these kids lately. To be completely honest, I feel like something in me recently has clicked and I am enjoying them more and more. Each snuggle just warms my heart and I feel like I have been full of more love then I ever have before.
