The Weather Outside..

Is Frightful!!! My goodness, it's cold. I wake up in the mornings and I just want to roll back into bed! This morning I wanted to do a workout video.. but I slept horribly last night. I had a wierd dream about Tanya & Erik that made my wake up crying :(. Sorry it's been awhile since I blogged.. sort of. I just unloaded a bunch of food logs on you guys! I added pics to most, so hopefully you don't mind!

So I told you a joined Biggest Loser Blog edition! Well so far.. Good Gals & Gail our on Lynn's team with me :) I'm excited (and nervous) to start it!! Hopefully it will give me more momentum to work out and loose more weight! Oh, speaking of working out.. I did go to the gym today (despite me sitting in the car trying to talk myself out of it.. lame-o). But I need to (HAVE TO) figure out ways to just make myself work out. That is what is really going to help me take off all of this weight! I am going to go to Target, hopefully tomorrow, and buy a mini day planner for 2009.. I am going to plan my workouts for each day.. that way I will hopefully feel like I have to work out. That better do the trick! Any suggestions? I'm not really a morning person, but I'm trying to get up earlier to do a video or lunges or something and see how I like it!

I love this blogging thing. I hope you guys enjoy reading this blog. I was thinking.. as long as this doesn't sound too stalkerish or anything.. but let's exchange emails. or instant messaging thingies? or whichever.. just an idea. Let me know what you think!

Oh, and life will be getting busier! I am starting school back up next Thursday. I have a full course load.. so that's going to be a challenge in itself. I also work as Medical Assistant M-Th. On the weekends, I just officially took up a 2nd job by being a receptionist to Massage Envy. I know it sounds crazy but I actually had that job before the MA position, but they took forever building the place.. So I told my manager that I am going to give a 1 month trial, and if I can't handle it then I will quit. She agreed and thought it was a good idea. So pray for me.. hopefully I'll enjoy it! Did I mention I'm also a youth leader who runs the youth group every Wed, active in my church, have a fiance, and family, ,etc. etc. lol. So I will try my best to be an active blogger.. like every other day or something. :) Bear with me:)
