HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Today is an extra special day. It also happens to be the day of my brothers birth. Although he's mentioned in the past he sometimes feels jipped by the holiday, it's still an extras special day and i never can spend Halloween without him in my thoughts. for instance, 3 years ago when we took my daughter out for her 1st trick or treat (she was 1) I remember my dearly departed dad, my mom, hubby and I all standing in the street saying happy birthday to him when he called us back. So little does he know, I can not spend a trick or treat trip without him in my mind and heart! All day i think of him and his BD more than i do the spirit of the holiday.
So enjoy your day, celebrate your loved ones and embrace the spirit of fun!
And don't forget to figure out a way to limit your candy intake... But don't deprive yourself or you'll gorge!
Me... I admit I horde 1/2 my favorites in the freezer and limit myself to 1 or 2 a day until it's all gone. The other 1/2 my hubby gets to scarf down before mine are all gone or he knows I'll steal them and replenish my stock. Although, he eats my favorites faster than a kid with cake. :) hehehehe!! Kiddo gets only a few pieces a day and guarantee you, by Christmas we'll still have halloween candy that hubby will refuse to let me throw out.
Always,
Jules

What's your opinion?
So... Just got back from getting her stitches out and getting ready to eat lunch. I'm wondering though....
Hhhmmm.... I'm undecided. Especially since I don't use a traditional mop, I use a Hoover hard floor cleaner. hhhhmmmmm....
Tell me what you think. :)

If I wear my ankle and wrist weights while i mop my entire house... do you think that can count as my 30 minutes of exercise for the day?

Yet again... A weakling.
What is wrong with me. Geez!!
I did not work out yesterday. Instead I did a lot of other things in order to avoid it. ugh.
Today, i am moving REALLY slow. Woke up extra congested and a tight upper back, which is making me feel headachy. Which means I'm even slower and less motivated than you could ever guess.
I NEED to get moving this morning. I have a lot to do. Like mop these floors that have been gross since last Friday, take my daughter to get her stitches out, give her a bath to get the marker off her body that she put on her yesterday... and good lord, a plethora of other things I just have no motivation to do.
Could some one please ship me my motivation back? I bet some one out there has found it and doesn't know it's mine. I really need it and it's been missing for over a month now?
I know, such a motivating inspiring blog these days isn't it?

Such a weakling!
Yesterday I gave in to doing nothing. I didn't exercise. Just couldn't talk myself into it. Why... I wish I had a good reason. I was dragging arse all day, I just wanted to sit on the couch and do nothing. Which except for plotting out work for the next few months, is exactly what i did. Nothing.
Breakfast- Quaker oatmeal squares
Lunch- leftover dinner, eggs W/ vegi's & potatoes
Snack- chips w/ sour cream & a root beer float
Dinner- hamburger spaghetti (2 bowls, WAY too much)
Snack- another damn root beer float.
When I look at it. It really wasn't as sucky as an eating day as I thought. The red meat issue still makes me feel sick. I really hate using it and buying it. And damn does it taste so good. Doesn't help that I know while you're pregnant you're cholesterol is naturally high... So I feel double worse about the possible consequences to my body when this kid is born. I did however add fresh mushrooms and zucchini to the scetti dinner. At least I got in some vegi's for the 1 meal. Thankfully we are out of ice cream and I think I'll purposefully let that root beer defizz so I can't want to buy more yummy vanilla ice cream for floats.
Lately, I just feel like such a failure every evening. I know I'm pregnant and all. But this isn't about just 6 more months of my life. I can't keep putting off my health and life like I used to and I feel like I'm settling back into that pattern. I feel lost and like I don't know what to do. Like I don't know how to be "healthy" and pregnant. I don't know. I certainly don't feel like I'm jeopardizing the baby in any way, well... except by not exercising. I'm trying to remind myself that i do need to give myself a break... but how far, how much is too much or not enough.
I think that's really the reason i haven't been blogging much. Because I feel like I'm not really IN this journey like I should be. And isn't that the whole point of this blog? So if I'm not IN it... what do I say. Nada? I mean really... What is it you readers want to hear about if I'm doing nothing about being healthy?
Anyhow... as usual I'm fumbling around here trying to figure it out.
With all that being said, i think I'll go make a healthy egg white (which I've also back slided on... lots of whole eggs these days) & vegi breakfast. Go to the store and come home and watch America's Next Top model on DVR while i do my workout. If that's all i get done today, than so be it. But I am going to get those 3 things done.
Always,
Jules
