You will never find time for anything. If you want the time, you must make it. - Charlie Buxton

I have time for a quick post this morning...

  • I survived Body Jam training...all 3 days. I actually feel much better this morning than I thought I would. I felt way more horrible yesterday morning. I can tell you that as soon as I walked out of training I was ready for a diet soda and a hamburger. I was HUNGRY! I had just been eating health bars and fruit all weekend. Not that it was a bad thing. I had meals, just very small. All I have to do now is do my two tracks for our club person, get a pass from her, send my video in, and weight for word on certification. *sigh* It's a three month process. Hopefully I don't lose my motivation to do this.
  • Last night we had hamburgers on the grill at a friend's house. YUM! They were very good as was the pasta salad she made. I love when I don't have to cook.
  • I need to come up with my menu for the week. Easy stuff. Hmmm...I need to grab the ol' cookbook.
Ok, I need to get ready for work. *yawn* And try to stop doing that today!

“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.” Anonymous

We are hack to school now. I'm not going to lie, I was not super excited about it. I walked in the door just wishing I were at home in bed. I think I missed them more than I thought. It has been okay. Really, it hasn't been that bad. The kids are pretty excited because it is time for them to do all the "important" third grade tasks. You know, multiplication, cursive...that kinda thing. So...they are in good spirits and I am in good spirits. We'll see how long it lasts!

I made a recipe from the Biggest Loser Cookbook. Now, I am sure that it, if cooked correctly, is good. I don't think I did it 100% correctly. Mr. S. said that he really liked it. I really didn't. If I keep this up, I will definitely lose weight because I ate like 1/2 my dinner last night. So..I have some changes to make to that recipe. Oh...and due to the smoke from the frying, the smoke detectors went off AND my house still smells like dinner this morning. Neat.

Frustration has been my word of the day here at home. I need to stop being so frustrated, but when the big, yellow dog won't sleep, all you do is clean, and then once you clean, it all ends up back as a mess in a day...I get frustrated. Grrr....that's my rant.

It's cold. 19 degrees this morning. I was looking at the weather and the highs have been in the 30s (Welcome to Midwest, USA!). Then Friday it's going to be in the 50s, and then it goes back into the 20s and 30s for highs the next days after that. Stupid weather...okay, that is rant pt. 2.

Time to put my face on and go to work. Good day! I said good day!
