Brrr...feels like the Fall has finally arrived.  I am freezing!  Lots of prayers have been said over the last 2 days for family, friends, and strangers who were affected by hurricane Sandy.  It's heartbreaking to me to see the devastation on TV, I can't imagine how those who are there are feeling.

It's Sale week at Quoizel!  Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of this week we have our big warehouse sale.  It is a BLAST!  Our employees have been working on this for months!  The time leading up to this is stressful for many...so look forward to the end of it, but me...I love it!  It's great to have the public come into our warehouse and shop like crazy for lamps.  It's fun to watch our shoppers come in and start shopping like crazy.  I definitely comparable to Black Friday.

My diet has been off this past weekend.  Because of all of the performances Joe had to do  my prep and planning was way off.  He normally does a Friday and Saturday show...this time he did over 10.  This is not something we are used to at all. We were eating out too much.  It always feels good to get back on track...except when I have to workout.  Today's workout was not pretty.  It was a good workout and I was sort of excited to do it...it seemed simple enough but my gosh was it tough for me today.  My excuses for not doing well today:

• Did not sleep well at all last night
• Was nauseous during the workout
• Kind of lite headed
• was worried sick about my family and very distracted
• barely drank any water before hand
• Ate too close to the workout
• It was chilly.

The one thing that got me more than anything else was that I became winded so quickly and I felt a heaviness on my chest.  I thought it was odd, I was wondering if it had something to do with the cold air.  Well. that's it for my excuses.  What kills me is that I should have been able to complete this workout so I am going to jot it down and try it again within the next couple of weeks.

I feel a little bit better this evening.  I'm hoping I sleep well tonight and will feel like a new person in the morning.  We have a busy week and weekend ahead, I can't get sick and I feel something coming on.
That's all I have for now...Still praying for many!

Praying for so many...

Today brought yet another production of Joe's to a close.  The Hobbit has been a wonderful experience for him yet very exhausting for him as well as my husband and I.  He was wonderful!  He played his role well.  It was the first part he played were there was no singing and/or dancing AND he had a ton of lines to learn.  He mastered that part...so much so that in addition to his part, he was the understudy for the lead and was helping others with their lines and even reciting other's lines when they were missed. 

The producer of the production spoke to him afterwards and told him how much she enjoyed working with him.  She said he has a wonderful mind and she loves how he thinks outside of the box; he sees the big picture.  She told him she only knows of a handful of adults who can do that and he was the first child she worked with who had that ability.  I stood there with tears in my eyes as she told him.  What an amazing compliment to hear!  We are beyond proud of him.

This may be something to be prematurely excited about, but I am excited about it non the less.  I had my 6 month check up with my neurologist this past week.  It went very well.  He spent lots of time asking questions and examining me.  In a somewhat surprising voice he said, "you are doing very well, aren't you?"  I agreed.  He then said, "it looks like you are part of the 5% of MS patients who do very well without medication."  I agreed with that to.  Of course the true test will be the MRI I will be going for in another week; but for now, that was the best thing I could hear him say.

I can honestly say, that since this silly roller coaster ride began just over a year ago, that was the best, least stressful appointment with any doctor I've had.  I feel as though I have accepted whatever it is I need to about this and have moved forward.  I'm not worrying about what the future holds for me.  When it comes to this, I am taking it a day at a time...and it feel pretty great to!

We have another crazy week ahead of us.  The company we work for is having a HUGE warehouse sale.  It will be hectic but it is always a blast!  It's exhausting but so much fun!  Its not often at all that we all get to interact with the public.  Everyone is doing something different than what they usually do...I am really looking forward to this coming weekend!

My anxiety is building up over this hurricane that is headed towards so many people that I know, love and care very much for. I have so many people in my prayers tonight.  Not knowing exactly what this storm has in store for wherever it hits is frightening to me and I'm no where near where it's headed...I can't imagine how those who are expecting it must feel.  However, everyone I've spoken to seem very positive that it wont be bad and they are just expecting a little bit of rain haha...I'm not sure if they are trying to make me feel better about the situation or if their northern stubbornness has made them delusional.

Please everyone, include all family members, friends, and strangers to whom Hurricane Sandy poses a threat to.  The media is making this storm sound so terrifying.

Psalm 121:7-8

⁷ The Lord will keep you from all harm—
    he will watch over your life;

    both now and forevermore.

Another show week...Let the Craziness BEGIN!

Joe will be performing in The Hobbit this week.  We are very excited for 2 reasons.  First, we are so excited to see him perform.  He has been working so hard!  Second, we are looking forward for this to come to a close.  Although this experience for him has been awesome, he (and we) have learned lots.  We learned how time consuming something like this can be and how it can effect our entire family.  Most importantly, we noticed how worn out Joe became and how his grades were affected.

Tonight is the first dress rehearsal.  Here's a picture of him in his hat.  The hat, braids. and beard are all one piece.  We are so grateful to all of our friends who have purchased tickets and who considered coming.  What an amazing support group we are surrounded by.  God has certainly blessed us with so many great people!

Our weekend was busy; so much was done and we feel so good about that.  I don't know what I would do with out my husband.  He is undoubtedly our family's backbone.  He is a tremendous supporter of our boys and myself.  He did so many things this weekend after such a tough week at work.  This week will be even more crazy with the show and preparing for a HUGE factory sale at work.  I get this amazing feeling when I see the passion he has for our boys and for his job.  He takes so much pride in both these things.  All women should be as blessed as I am.

I'm very excited about a new project that I am working on with some friends.  I'm not going to say to much about it now since there is still much to do and sort out.  But the good news is, is that there are interested parties, a day of the week has been selected, and we all have common goals...we are now working on subject matter and a venue.  If everything falls into place we will have a great success story to share.

Diet and exercise this weekend...not bad on the food, could always be better on the weekends but got right back on track today.  Workouts were pretty fun actually.  Doing a couple alone during the week which is working out better then I expected.. There is a new program I am participating in where the trainer meets with a group once a month to do a workout and teach new exercises.  Then each week he emails us 4 workouts.  Once each member of the group emails him their workout results for the week he forwards the workouts for the net week.  Its done on a monthly basis.  We are now nearing the end of the first month and those who are wanting to try it for another month are meeting Monday.  I'm just throwing some things around in my crazy little mind before I commit to another month.

Time to watch the Presidential debate.  My 10 year old asked if he could watch it with me, I reluctantly agreed to it.  It should be interesting to hear what my child has to say...it always is haha.

Finally!

After a failed workout yesterday I am excited to say that today was so much better. I walked away from it feeling proud! My time wasn't amazing but I finished first. I stayed focused, I tried to transition quickly, and I didn't talk during the workout. Yay for me! I think it's now time to to work on my push-ups, which have been very girlesque since I hurt my back last year. I really needed this to boost my confidence, especially after yesterday.

For the past 3 years I have been such an advocate for this journey I've been on, our program at work, and the trainer I worked with.  Since my mind has been changed some things have been very difficult for me to deal with when it comes to everything that has to do with this.  I had such a strong belief that becoming more involved in this was something I could do and I thought these things were coming from God, directly to me...there seemed to be so many signs that had me pointed in this direction and it was beyond exciting for me.  After all is said and done, it is clear that I was way off base.  The more I thought about it, the more I realized that really couldn't be Gods will after seeing how it all turned out.  Now I am going through this acceptance process haha.

But what I do see and what means so much to me is how the participants in our bootcamp at work have stepped up to be the motivators, cheerleaders, etc.  I was always afraid this program would die down for whatever reason but it is still going strong.  I feel confident that when the trainer is gone, we will be able to find another, if I step away from this, there will be others to jump right in to organize and keep it on track.  I've realized that I'm not important to the program, the trainer isn't all that important, it's the participants that are most important and as time goes by everyone is becoming more confident and independent, and extremely supportive of each other.  Now after almost 4 years of this wild roller coaster ride as I sit here today with a horrible amount of weight gain and disappointment, I can honestly say that it is so rewarding to me to see how our program at work has affected people.  That is the success story here; out of all that I experienced, it was that program that was meant to be the success and those who were participating in it that were meant to benefit most. 

Well it looks like someone got into our bank account. We were slammed with 10 overdraft charges and received a letter from the bank that our account number somehow got our. Lovely. I'm not stressing I'll just visit the bank tomorrow and see what needs to be done. Blah...what a way to start the weekend.  But to my surprise, I am not freaking out.

Headed back to the doctor today for a follow up on this lump on my breast.  One look and he decided it needed to come out.  When I first saw him he said it would just be a minor procedure...looks like that has changed.  It will end up being about a 2 1/2-3" incision and stitches...BOOO(B)!  Then they will send it out for a biopsy which I think is just the routine thing to do. This doctor of mine is a trip.  He just makes me laugh.  While I'm lying on the table, he's trying to explain the procedure.  He then says, "wait, let me just draw it out for you" then proceeds to draw on my boob...crazy man that he is haha.

Well in addition to a good workout the diet was great again today.  I weighed at the doctor and my weight is the same which is OK with me.  I'm not getting weigh crazy I just want to make sure it doesn't go up.  I lost sight of it for a while, I can't let that happen again. 

Well today nearly did me in.  My morning started off with a broken back door, lots of frustration, and a stubborn dog.  After that things seemed to settle down until....dunn dunn dunn dunnnnn...I had to workout.  I was so excited about yesterdays workout and today's was grooling.  That's not the worst part.  The worst part is that I am struggling with doing well.  My breathing was horrible, I couldn't move fast enough...epic fail as my sons would say haha. 

I'm doubting Wednesday workouts, I;m not so sure they're for me anymore.  Wednesday is an hour of intensity.  Tuesday/Thursday is 30 minutes.  That extra 30 minutes is a killer. My back was in pretty bad shape today.  It felt ok until we had to do burpees; it was a mess after that.  I tried though, I really did. I did some reps then tried to walk off or stretch away the pain but the run at the end aggravated it more.

The way things turned out with working out has just torn me apart (littlebit of drama there).  I never ever thought I would feel so heartbroken over exercise.  It almost sounds ridiculous but it's true.  This has got to me the most frustrating thing I have ever gone through.  To know I had the ability to do something a year ago and to see how much I regressed in 12 months is disgusting.

I am working on not beating myself up about this, in fact, I haven't in a while.  But for some reason today it all kind of hit me again.  When ever one of my co-worker-outers (new word) told me I was doing great it just got to me.  I want to hear that, but I just don't see it because I am comparing myself to where I was over a year ago.  I wish I could understand why this crap is even popping up again...like I said its been a while since I've felt this way.

Ugh...anyway...I just want to not care about this.  I'm trying but it's not working.  It's clear to me that when you don't care you don't hurt but then it still hurts while going through that darn I don't want to care process (got all that).  I don't know how some people do it so easily...I wish I could.

A Good Work Out Just Chokes Me Up...

It has been such a fun day so far!  One or 2 speed bumps through out but nothing too tragic.
I was very excited to sell something else today.  Not only is it great to bring in some extra money but I am meeting few new people who seem to be having as much fun as I am.  I have another sale pending now...this is real fun and I am really looking forward to see what else I can do. 

Diet was perfect today and I really enjoyed our workout today.  My favortist thing to do in a workout is use the bars.  It really just make me happy.  Since I hurt my back last year I haven't used the bar much and when I did I struggled with it; lots of lower back pain was always the result.  Yes, it went away (thank God) but it just frustrating none the less.  Today I ran into the same problem even though I know the pain will go away with in a day I tense up with fear that I will screw up my form and hurt my back again.  We had to alternate lifting and running.  I felt the pain mostly when running.  My running form stinks and that makes things worse.  Regardless of the pain and the running I really enjoyed it...I haven't felt this good about a workout in a little while.  The best part about all this, we did abs which alleviated the lower back pain.

Immediately after the workout I had to leave.  I had to meet a mom and give her the Hess truck she was purchasing.  I literally walked from the workout, to my desk, grabbed my keys and left the building. While I was getting in the car I started this horrible coughing fit.  I couldn't stop!  There was this nasty drainage just running down my throat.  So before I arrived for our meet I tried chewing on some gum...it didn't help.  I met with the mom and left within 1 minute.  I was only away from work for about 5 minutes.  At one point when I was coughing I took a deep breath in and my gum slammed against the back of my throat and got stuck for a second...I thought I was gonna die for that split second.  Just one of those stupid things that happen I guess haha.  Clearly I lived through this terrible ordeal.

Well it's off to the doctor on Thursday to, more than likely, have a minor procedure.  I had this cyst thing that busted during a workout and was infected for weeks.  He said that if it didn't go away he would have to remove it...well its still there...fun fun.  I am not looking forward to this, at all.

We shall see what tomorrow brings...life is settling down, things are good.

Monday, Monday...I'm grateful it's coming to an end.  It was a good day for the most part; I'm just over tired from a semi-stressful day and lack of sleep last night. 

I'm excited about something new I was introduced to.  It's a page on Facebook where local moms post pictures of items hey are selling, in search of, questions they may have, etc.  I posted a few things; one being my son's bike that we tried to sell in on our neighborhoods website, at a garage sale, and on Craigslist; we had no luck.  I posted on this Facebook page and it sold within 30 minutes!  I was so excited; we met earlier today to exchange the bike for some much needed cash.  We decided to put our Hess Trucks on there to.  I sold 7 within a few hours!  Its fun and pretty darn exciting and this is part of the reason why I lost sleep last night haha apparently moms are selling and buying once the husbands are snoring away. 

During the past month we have been consolidating, cleaning things out, and getting rid of things.  Between this page, the garage sale, and some jewelry we got rid of we've made over $3300 and put it all towards stuff we are paying off, including all the Christmas gifts we had on layaway.  Now that's exciting!  We are slowly but surely crawling out of a hole this crazy economy and our money management skills (or lack there of) has gotten us into.  It feels great to be headed in the right direction. 

Diet and exercise is going pretty well.  I didn't weigh this past Friday.  I don't want to get into the habit of over weighing.  I'll weigh every 3-4 weeks to ensure I don't get sidetracked again.  Since I started this just about 3 1/2 weeks ago I am down 12lbs...not to bad.

I have a strong sense that more change is coming my way.  Unpredictable change puts stress on me big time.  What I'm sensing may not be good at all.  I'm going to do my best to stay focused and not let this get the best of me.  In the mean time, while decisions are being made I am going to sit tight and pray that any effects we experience will be positive for our family.

The next couple of weeks are chock full of doctors appointments and follow up test...yippee!  I will say this, I am looking forward to my appointment with my neurologist.  He's a pretty funny guy.  He has a great way of explaining things to me.  I think its a little silly that he's sending me for a follow up MRI AFTER my appointment next week but what do I know anyway.  The great thing is, I am not stressing over the upcoming test, appointments, etc.  For the last year, whenever I was waiting on test results, doctors appointment, and anything else related to this silly diagnosis I would literally make myself sick with worry, my eating was out of control at times, and my focus was gone.  I can't live like this anymore; not when I will be going through these follow ups every 6 months or so; I'll never accomplish the things I want to if I don't change completely.

I have lots of prayers for many friends, family, and others.  Seems like everyone is going through something.  I know with the holidays being just around the corner things seem to be worse.  Because I feel strongly that my purpose on this earth is to help and/or serve others I've tried hard, too hard at times, to help many.  Many times there was success, other times it was an epic fail but no matter what the outcome was, there was a tremendous amount of stress placed on me, by me.  I'm taking a step back from my own need to help and serve others to alleviate the stress I cause myself.  I am tired, I need a break and I'm hoping that once things settle I will be able to help others with a clear head and no stress like I have prior to the past year.

I'm looking forward to changes I'll be making and I will do my best to embrace any changes that others will be making.  I have a feeling this year is going to end with a "BANG".

OUCH!

Hurting, HuRtInG, HURTING!  What a week of workouts its been...I picked a fine time to return.  Not complaining here...the pain is all good AND it is the good ole soreness I used to experience.  Not the painful soreness that has seemed to linger for days.

Before working on Abs we had to do 100 squat pressed for time.  Squat presses, yup, easy you think, NOPE!  The trainer makes sure we get low; we have to squat to a ball, so there are no short trips down.  weight, 15lb dumbbells...ouch!  10's would be nice and they would have certainly came in handy to get done faster.  The worst part...I am sitting for long periods of time after this and my quads are tightening up.  When I stand, at first, I can barely move my legs...it takes about 20 steps before I begin to walk normal haha...its quite a sight I'm sure.

I feel pretty good again, sort of renewed.  My time away has done me good.  My perspective, my purpose, and expectations of myself have changed.  I've made a choice to do a few things differently and as hard as it is for me, its the way I need to be.  The crazy thing is, no one will notice or probably even care for that matter.  It's all about needs and wants.  What I thought I wanted/needed, I really don't.  Feeling this way will make it easier in the long run or even short run for that matter...which ever comes first.

Time to start taking life one day and, more importantly, one meal at a time.

Ever feel like when you get your hair did life seems to settle?

Today was a pretty good day.  I felt preoccupied by something, not sure what it was though.  I was looking forward to our workout today.  It was a tough on; we were dragging and flipping tires and doing burpees.  Love tire flips but the burpees and dragging the tires were not my favorite thing. 

I was able to get through the workout.  For a while, I didn't think I would haha.  My legs were burning, I felt sick to my stomach, and I was pretty winded.  It's pretty tough for me to finish last, whenever I think about it I try to block it out of my head.  It's working for the most part.  Again, today I tried to stay focused on what had to be done.  It was hard to stay focused near the end. for sure.  During our second rest break I sat on the lawn and tears just started flowing.  I am constantly wiping sweat off my face with my shirt so I just sat there and let my shirt absorb my tears.  Got away with it to haha no one noticed.

I'm not sure what happened to me...not sure if the tears started because I was exhausted or because I feel every ounce of weight I put on.  One thing I do feel good about, that is helping me in a few different ways, is the chiropractor I'm seeing.  The adjustments and all the stretching he is doing on me is keeping soreness, aches, and pains down to a minimum.  I know after this weeks workouts I am going to need it soon...more than ever.  Right now, my quads are hurting...its the good hurt so I am so thankful for that.

Diets been going pretty good.  I was so hungry when I met a great group of ladies at Chickfila so I grabbed a chicken salad sandwich and some fries.  I only ate half the sandwich and "twisted" someone elses arm to eat my fries.  I've been satisfied with smaller portions lately.  Believe or not this is a big deal for me haha.

Was just  on Facebook catching up with someone I haven't talked to in a while.  Will be doing the same with someone else on Friday.  I hate separation from good people but its great to be able to catch up on life.  Its even better when you can share lots of positive things with each other.

Things are definitely settling in different areas of my life.  Got my hair done on Sunday, I felt so good after that.  Its been a while since I felt that way about me.  I like this feeling...I need to keep it.

First day back to trainer led workouts...I think I may have just done alright.  I felt pretty good throughout the workout, no pain, a bit winded, but thats about it.  My reps were pretty average, I did better than I expected.  My squat, I thought, were pretty low.  Now what I think and what the trainer actually sees is two different things haha but I think all that stretching has done me good.  My lower back is a bit sore but not a big deal, thats a pretty easy fix. 

I did my best to stay focused; I was able to keep my mind off the things that had me sidetracked in the first place.  I believe my timing to return was good.  I'm even looking forward to tomorrows workout.

Lots of things have changed...almost my entire way of looking at this journey.  It's truly bittersweet but it's what I believe is best for me right now.

Feeling a bit anxious about working out tomorrow.  It's been a few weeks now but I am most concerned about my left shoulder. It seems to e in pretty bad shape. It seems to have really tightened up over the weekend.  Lifting it and moving it forward it so painful.  For most of yesterday and today I felt sick to my stomach every time I felt the pain.

I took pain meds yesterday and it didn't even help.  The only thing that did was give me "medicine head" all day today. I was definitely half out of it today.  The more I move it and stretch it the more it loosens it and its slowly beginning to feel better.  I'm hoping it doesn't tighten up too much while I sleep.

So, we will see how things go tomorrow with my first trainer led group workout in a few weeks...should be fun, and pretty tough.

It has been a busy busy weekend.  Saturday morning was full of garage sale success, afternoon rehearsal out in Summerville, and movie and dinner with friends to end the day.  Sunday has also been busy; I woke up late, had to get my hair done.  2 of our 3 boys had to meet friends to work on school projects so we were picking up an dropping off, food shopping, laundry....all that fun stuff.

My shoulder has been in some pretty bad pain all day.  It was sore Saturday but when I woke up this morning it was 100 times worse.  I have an appointment tomorrow morning with the chiropractor, I'm hoping it will be able to bring some relief to it.  The pain is so bad that its making me feel nauseous.  I even took pain killers but nothing is helping at this point.

I'm feeling pretty sore from workouts this weekend.  I haven't felt this way in a while...for the most part it feels pretty good.  I'm looking forward to getting back into group workouts this coming week.  I'm praying that everything goes well.  I miss everyone and my routine.

Weighed in on Friday...there was no loss but no big deal.  I wasn't all that disappointed; I won't let things like this get to me.  Planning to work hard this week between my eating and workouts so I will see good results next week.

Making decisions...not really my thing

It's the end of the week...Yay!  I am so excited.  This week has been exhausting.  The most exhausting thing we are dealing with right now is a play my son is in.  He has practice 4 times a week now...MY GOODNESS this is crazy.  The theatre, although it is not too far from our home it's not very close either.

I felt horrible this evening.  I needed to take Joe to rehearsal since my husband had a kickball game.  They made it to the semi finals, which is pretty exciting.  If they won their first game they would play in the championship game the same night.  There was a part of me that wanted him to win really bad; but that selfish side of me was not disappointed that they lost.  I just didn't want to drive out to the theatre again and I really would like to just spend some time relaxing with my husband, who is just as tired, if not more than I am.  He is a great guy; while I was gone he started laundry, did dishes, and fed the kids.  I am beyond blessed to have that man.

Since I stopped working out we've been having lunch together everyday haha I know he is ready for a break from me.  He has been so patient the entire time I've been going through this decision making process.  Yesterday I went out with a friend for lunch; I thought he would be disappointed that we weren't going to be together.  NOPE, he just smiled and said darn haha. 

I made a decision about working out.  I was so undecided that I decided to make a decision so I could see how I felt about it.  At first, I decided to stop. I was so upset with that decision.  Once I realized how upset I was I decided to change my mind.  I was reluctantly excited about it.  Definitely a different feeling from my previous decision.  In order to feel "excited" and not "reluctantly excited", I decided I just needed to let our trainer know; so I did.  I felt so much better after I told him.  At this time, I feel like I made the right decision.

Now my plan, next week when I begin (again), is to focus, focus, focus on the workout, on my form, and really try to push myself.  I need to be serious...gosh that's so tough for me...but I can do it!  I'm going there to workout and that's it.  That's all that matters, right? RIGHT!  Okay so I'll have fun to but I can still push myself at the same time.

Tomorrow is weigh in day.  YIPPEE! (sarcasm)  Not sure how well I did.  We were out and about this week and ate out a few times but I made pretty good choices, watch my portions, had leftovers, all that fun stuff.  After losing almost 10lbs in that past 2 weeks I expect my weight loss to drop to 2-3lbs a week for a little while.  So, we will see what the scale barks out at me tomorrow.  Until then...

Anxiety....WOOF!  Its been coming on strong today.  Yup this is something I do to myself.  It seems to happen when the workouts are going on at work and I'm not in it.  Yup, another thing I'm doing myself, just still unsure if it is the right or wrong thing to do (which is probably where the anxiety coming from)

On one hand, I am making progress and proving to myself that I can do this on my own and that was one reason, the main reason, why I felt I needed to do breakaway for a little while.  I feel so good about this...I really do.  Every time I think about it I smile. I also set a goal to do this for 6 weeks or drop 20 lbs. whichever comes first and neither has come yet.  So, am I just growing inpatient with myself, am I afraid that I'll fall apart before I reach a goal as I usually do?  I am so confused about this I feel like there is such a void in my life right now.

I've even thought of just stopping all together; I don't want this thought to cross my mind but it has been.  Why is this even happening? This is extremely frustrating for me. I cant figure this out. I've been praying and looking for answers about what to do and how to do it.  This journey has always been so great but now it seems to be falling apart.  I can't tell if I'm holding on to something that needs to end or if I'm walking away from it.  I'm torn between what I want/need and what I think I have to do.

Until I find peace with this, I will keep praying, I will hang on to this confidence that is beginning to flourish again, and keep shooting for my 20lb or 6 week goal.

Well, my first fast of the month will be complete at noon tomorrow.  I did real well!  It feels pretty good if I do say so myself.  I told my husband after our last meal to please remind me not eat the rest of the night haha it wouldn't surprise me if I forgot to not eat.

The weekend went fairly well.  Its always a struggle but we were busy this weekend, out and about A LOT and did eat out.  I watch my portions and made good choices.  I feel pretty good about this to.

We have been very busy working on consolidating things around the house, having a garage sale this coming weekend, sold a bunch of stuff this past weekend, looking to put things on EBay and/or Craigslist.  I cant believe how much stuff we've accumulated over the years that we don't need haha.  Its crazy and oh so exhausting.  Keeping busy is good for me, however, it can easily throw me off since it can interfere with planning and preparation.

I had to miss my appointment with the chiropractor today...hated to do that.  I really could have used it today; just a little bit sore from Fridays workout.  Anyway...this is such a bad, uninteresting post, even to me.  I am totally distracted by my fantasy football team right now.  I just need 6 more point and I am
4-0...gotta love first place!
