Day 1

I am sitting here knowing I have to go to work in a mere 4 hours, and have not slept.... but I am considering doing some Zumba.  I have to start somewhere - right?  I figure if I work out for a half hour, I get day 1 under my belt, and hopefully I can nap when we get back from picking up Teri.


How does that sound?  Ok... I am going to give this a shot!


(5 hours later)


Yes, so thankfully my post was saved because I totally forgot about this.  I was running around like a mad woman trying to find any wii remote so I could Zumba.  I checked high and low, and Coltan showed me where one was hidden under the living room couch.  Thanks, what a little turkey =).  Anyway, I am proudly say that I did complete one Zumba session.  It kicked my butt.  I looked like a spastic geek.  I loved every minute.  I felt WONDERFUL after (and still do, even though I have now only had 3 hours of sleep).


I am sure fatigue will catch up with me in a few hours, but I have a feeling tonight will fly by because the floor is packed and I am the only PCA on tonight.  Good times.


Ok, so back to the zumba.  It really is so much fun, maybe in time I will get some rhythm along with getting in shape (haha).  I ate a fiber one bar, because I am all about eating lots of fiber (not only for dietary reasons, but colon cancer really scares me).  I am about to eat a chicken/spinach/artichoke lean pocket, and later will have some broccoli and rice.  Oh!  I also brought a banana! 


My family (Dustin, Mom, Dad, and myself) resumed our biggest loser contest.  We are going to do smaller increments, like 2 week periods, and have a mini winner each week.  One of my problems is when I have a bad week, or bad day even, I feel like I have ruined all my hard work and give up.  I am hoping that by starting fresh every 2 weeks will give us all the opportunity to stay on track.  Besides, I want to look great in that wedding dress in a few months.


Speaking of ... wedding.  It is LESS THAN 4 months away!  I don't even know how time has flown by, but that is what has seriously motivated me to work out even when I am exhausted, and not to eat crappy even when I am starved and exhausted, haha. 


That is just about it from my world, I can't wait to get Cory back this weekend.  I miss him like crazy when he goes to his Dad's house, especially those sweet hugs and a little voice calling out for "Mama."  What a little doll.

I am actually watching the View.

I know, it is terrible.  I am too busy doing homework, looking at wedding dresses, and thinking about my endless to-do's to even get up and find the remote.  I really can't stand this show.

So, Dustin is back home and it has been so nice spending some quality time with him.  Tonight I have to begin my 4 night streak of working so I will not get to see him, and that just stinks.  Dustin is at the grocery store now, which is really exciting because 1) I did not have to go and 2) This means eating healthy begins today, and Dustin and I can resume our getting healthy for wedding/Florida plans!

I also have more plans to keep me on top of my game, and those include putting up post-it notes everywhere to remind myself of things I should do.  I have been a to-do list maker for so long, but I don't always have it with me whereas if I just put up post it notes in various places it will help to keep me on top of my game.  Second, I am going to see if we can fix the Wii today.  Coltan put 2 games in it months ago, one of which was my Zumba.

Just to confirm my attention deficit, I am going to have to finish this post later... I am now consumed with trying to fix the Wii.  Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely Thursday!

ETA:  The Wii is fixed!  We were wrong this whole time, it was not 2 games shoved in there.  That little turkey had put a penny in there!  I guess he was confused and thought it was a slot machine? haha.

Yay, so tomorrow I can officially begin my Zumba, pilates, and my journey to my ideal wedding dress body (and beach body for Florida).  YAY!

I almost forgot about you =P

Seriously... I really almost forgot I even had a blog.

So, since I have failed on so many levels on keeping up with my blog AND adhering to any type of diet whatsoever, I need to recommit. 

This is my vow to you, blog-o-sphere, I will resume with my strict diet and exercise plan.  I will get in shape before my big day... which is ONLY 129 days away!  CRAP!  129 days, EEK!

I will eat 4 small meals a day, high in protein, low in carbs and fat.  I will eat tons of veggies and fruit.  I will exercise at least 4 times each week, especially on days I do not work.  I will stop stress eating (dang you school)!  I will take the boys out more often to get my butt out as well.  Wine will only be allowed once or twice a week, I will miss you my most favorite carb of all!  I will pack my lunch/dinner therefore stopping me from eating Wendys.  Ok... I think that is it.  I feel like if I stick by these rules I will feel much better in no time!

Ok, all of that boring stuff aside... life is grand.  Too busy to appreciate it, but fun none the less.  I am wrapping up this semester of school and only have 1 year left!  I am most excited because I am about to start my hospital clinicals and from here on out I only have 1 class each semester, because all of my gen-ed requirements are FINISHED!  Even when I go to get my BSN I already have all my gen-eds done, so that will just be an online class to finish up my BSN.  Then, I plan to go right into getting my Masters so I an be a Nurse Practitioner... but who knows exactly what that entails.  Anyway, back to the present... yesterday was exciting because my Clinical instructor not only called me her star student (cheesy but I totally loved it) but I gave an IM shot, gave meds through a PEG, and did a bunch of other shots.  The only thing I did not get to do yet that has me a little nervous is inserting a foley, I am sure I will get that experience very soon though.

The kids are fantastic.  Summer break just started so they are just enjoying the freedom of not having a strict bed time, and now they can have water fights until 9:00 pm on a Sunday =).

Well, it has been a long night and I feel like it is time to finish up here at work and then head home.  My lovely fiance has vacation the rest of this week, so I get to go home and sleep!
