Ha! That's an understatement for sure!! So, I shared how I was changing my laziness, right? I've done better...but not being CONSISTENT gets me every time. I'm so pumped about CHANGING things around our home. I'm driving for a complete overhaul..... I started reading "Have a New Kid by Friday" written by Dr. Kevin Leman. I LOVED his book, "Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours". I still refer to that one, often....but this newer book is hard core! It's no nonsense, fix yourself and your attitude, reality discipline and sound advice. I'm simply thrilled to see the quick changes in how our days have been running. I have some sassy little ankle-biters in my home. They learn so much from our examples--good and bad. I've been paying attention, especially, to GC's sassy 'tude. I'm told so often that she's JUST LIKE me, so I've been taking notes. Yes, sure enough :: the head-bobbing, expressive eyebrows, and sarcastic rolling of the eyes, are a direct carbon-copy of her MOMMA!!! UGH! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! SURELY I'M NOT THAT WAY!!!
K, but I get it honest!!! (You know, because nothing is EVER our own fault) Right....ahem. (What happened??!!)
----------------------------------------------------------
I can't do anything small. It MUST be all at once, everything changes, or I'm just not satisfied. I don't know where it came from; I'll probably never be able to explain it. I'm reading at least ten books at once, for example. (Is this a sign of ADD?)
While I'm working on changing my attitude and tweaking the discipline and education of my children, I'm also changing myself emotionally and physically. I've recently lightened my hair color and rediscovered my inner health nut. (She was on vacation...somewhere fun) I had been running every morning and doing an exercise routine, laying off the coffee and caffeinated products, and doing other semi-good-for-you type things. I quit them ALL. Now I wish I hadn't...I want to be physically FIT, not just okay. I want to FEEL GREAT! I want to be able to go on a thirty minute jog, and jog the entire time. I want to be able to referee my soccer games, making sprints, and last the entirety of the two ninety-minute games I've been assigned without fretting too much about the time and whether I'll be able to WALK for the next week. I've decided 'enough is enough!!' I believe I have said it over and over again, "I want ME back!!!"
So bear with me, folks, while I work this out...
Couch to 5K and Power 90 begin again, tomorrow....I'll be alternating days but using the stretches from P90 every day. They really are great. No more carbonated drinks...save the occasional strawberry limeade from Sonic. I plan to leave the coffee alone and drink tea instead. No iced sweet tea...I know, I know, I live in the South. Iced sweet tea is the staple drink of us Southern girls, but I know that it causes ME to have a double chin. So, I may not partake. I refuse to buy potato chips and most other junk foods anyway, so that's not too much of a problem. My goal is to look and feel the way I have in mind (GREAT!) by hubby's birthday, in June. I don't have far to go, I know....but it seems so far away to me.

Finally, I have included in my "things to change":: The way I blog.
I have stifled sharing how I truly think/feel/am behind the screen, because of fear. I have been afraid of being put down for sharing my faith or certain happenings with our family. But, you know what?? This is MY blog. If you don't like what I have to say, then don't read it! (*wink*) Thank you all for following my randomness. I really appreciate visiting my page and seeing in the stats that people have actually been here to check things out! I hope you liked what you have found so far, and that I can continue to evolve and grow into something closer to myself. haha....and so, we begin "Day 1"
