Oh my god last night was crazy!!  I meant to get my Turbulence Training exercise in but couldn’t with all the things I had to get done!  I picked Alex up from mom’s after work and ended up chatting with her for over an hour.  Picked up a prescription at the store after that.  Got back to Montague and Roy picked up Allison.  Made supper, tidied up the kitchen then had to go to the store and pick up some groceries I forgot about.  I was just getting ready to go downstairs and do my workout when Allison walked up to me with a small card.  It was a reminder invitiation for the Parent Teacher Meet and Greet bbq at the school - whoops!!  It completely slipped my mind so I had to do a quick change out of my gym clothes and into another outfit.  Roy was out on his bike so I had to call him to get back home asap so we could go over for the meeting.  We got to meet a few of the teachers and Allison’s friends so it was a nice evening.  Talk about rushed though!  I had to pick up some more fresh veggies after the meeting so my evening was pretty much gone by the time I got back.  I was feeling pretty tired so I went to bed around 8:45.  My mind/body needed the rest.

I’m really glad today is Friday, my mother is watching Alex until I get off work.  I plan on picking him up and coming home to do my workout down in the basement.  It will be the first thing I do this time.  After that we will pick up Allison, make supper and pack Allison’s overnight bag for the sleepover with mom.  Mom plans on keeping Allison overnight and dropping her back off in Montague at around 11 tomorrow.  I think she will have a blast.

The weekend could end up being busy depending on what I decide to do.  A co-worker is having a small housewarming bbq at his place on Saturday afternoon which I might attend.  My friend Karen is also going to Baba’s with some friends for Sweet Oblivions.  I’m trying really hard to stick to healthy eating and no alcohol so I don’t know.  I could always bring something healthy to the bbq and I don’t have to drink if I go out on Saturday night.  Part of me would like to stay home and just read The 100 Mile Diet and play with the kids.  We’ll see.  It’s getting so expensive driving back and forth from town all the time with the car!  I wish I lived closer so I could bike.  It would save a fortune and be environmentally friendly.   My friend Aaron who lives in Ottawa has been commuting to work every day on his bike and his weight loss has been really impressive.   He wasn’t a big guy to begin with but you can certainly notice a huge difference in his body with all the cycling.  My goal is to move closer to town and start commuting by bike some point as well.

Anyhow I gotta log into the phone and take some calls for work.  Hoping for a quick shift!

Going to try to write in my blog more…even if it’s only a few short lines every day. Maybe it will help keep my sanity. I’m going to blog the good stuff and the bad stuff. I need to get it all out so I can cleanse and find peace!
At work until 3:30 today - wish it was 3 already. Hoping for a quick shift so I can head home and hit the gym. Feeling incredibly stressed out and need to unwind and relax. I’m having a difficult time getting back to real food. I’ve been eating clean but falling back on my shakes or having a few treats here and there that I shouldn’t have. I’m working out and sticking with my exercise. Quite a few people have told me I’m being too hard on myself. I haven’t been able to chew food for 3 months and it’s nice getting to taste food again. I just want to get back on a regular routine and feel happy. Lately I have been feeling stressed. There have been some major changes in my life adjusting with the surgery, Allison starting school, and a few other things I can’t bring myself to blog about right now. It will all even out in time but right now it’s a bit tough.

Wow I started this post over 3 hours ago and I’m just getting back to it now. Darn rush of calls at work!

I have an appointment with Dr. Matheson in a half hour. My archwire came loose from one of my teeth so I have to get that put back in place. I really should post some pictures from the surgery and my teeth movement. I think some people would find it interesting. I will try to get that done tonight.

I got a message on Facebook this morning from the gym I attend in Montague. Kettleball and Kickboxing classes start next week! They have pre-clinic classes you have to take beforehand - only $15 so I really want to sign up. I’m hoping my schedule at work will allow me to attend most of the classes. Worst case scenario I may miss 1 or 2 classes out of 11 weeks. Definitely worth signing up for. I think Derek is teaching the kickboxing as well so added bonus! Bosu class is also back on for Tuesday nights at 6 - YAY!

God reading this over it’s funny how my mood has changed from “blah” this morning to happy right now. See how much fitness and new activities excite me? I really think my problem is being stuck in the house all the time. I need to get out more and do things. Sitting around is driving me nuts. Having 6 kids running and demanding things around my house is tough too. I love them to death - don’t get me wrong - but it’s tough! The kids have little friends that come over to play every day after work. The minute we get home the kids are waiting in the driveway. As soon as we get in the house the demands start for food - something to drink and to watch tv. I do my best but I’m only 1 person hehe.
Anyhow that’s the scoop. I will write more later!
