I SURVIVED!!!!

And now tonight I'm kinda crashing. All went well, but my car broke down (needs a new starter) and that really put a crimp in everything. Like it wasn't hectic enough. The baby was decent, but....a baby so-ya know. I kinda missed the carnival, because the baby was tired so I had to sit in the truck and hold him. I bagged the baby shower, I couldn't make it in time. I'll take my cousin over something later. I am SO SO SO glad I am over the baby stage. Teething, waking up all night, trying to guess whats wrong. BAH!

Cades party went pretty good, he was bummed at first because some of his best friend couldn't make it, but then things kinda turned around and he had a great time. Mark got him a fully automatic bb rifle (shoots plastic bb's) its very cool. He got lots of money too so he was happy. He's saving for an Ipod. Hehe. I made him a very cool Ipod cake. I'm not sure if it tasted good, I didn't have any :D. It was more for looks anyway.

I'm back on track with my workouts and eating, and feeling good. Getting really pumped to get lean over the holidays. I want some BKE jeans from Buckle for Christmas, and I want LITTLE ones!!!!Right now I'm kinda of crashed, I worked out hard and its been a bit of a stressful day. Time to watch 'Heroes" and crash!

I'm back again!!

But this time from Tennesee!! WOOO HOOOOO! It was truly awesome! Is it jsut me, or is it wierd that so many people from so many different places can get together and have that great of a time together?? Well, its fabulous, anyhow. I figured I better get a post up because my weekend is starting tomorrow night and its gonna be a rough one. I'm trying to get my housework done now so that I will just have upkeep and that will be easier and mabye I won't go postal! LOL I got back to the gym today, it felt really good. Tomorrow is cardio, and it looks like HIIT, since time will surely be short. Then friday it will be UBWO. I am so proud of myself for eating clean almost the entire TN weekend! The Sat nite buffet dinner was delicious and was my free meal, and Sunday morning I was back on track, but Sunday there were no real good alternatives for lunch, and it was all downhill from there till I could get home. I certainly didn't overeat, and I packed plenty of snacks for the trip home, but 30 hours in 2 airports is enough to drive anyone to Panda Express!!!!! LOL Tuesday I mostly slept, and today I got it back on track. I feel ok about that. I know in my heart I did well under the circumstances. I am anticipating a loss for this week!! I am so stoked for my Twinkster challenge with 1leanmom. We are gonna rock it!!Monday morning, baby!! It is ON!

I'm BACK!!

Yes, I had to come home from Vegas, darn. In reality, I don't LOVE Vegas, its so filthy and ugly, really. I love that I was alone with my honey, we got to really TALK, which is hard to do when the kids are all over the place and we are so busy. Just spending time together, it was nice. No, we didn't buy a time share (har har)although I'm sure its great, but, um no, don't have 12 grand just lying around. We ATE, holy cow did we eat. Steak and seafood buffet that was excellente. We were in there for 2 and a half hours cracking hot crab legs and eatin new york strip. YUMMMMMMO!!!

Today I spent with Marky out on a landscape job that we are dong for some extra side cash, and since he had today off we WORKED. We put in the sprinkler and drip system, buried the electric line and did almost half the brick curbing. It was a lot of shoveling and digging. Talk about a workout! I did manage to almost comletely scrape the skin off of a couple of my fingers from doing the mortar. It really hurts now.

As far as BFL...... I did eat clean today, I was SO ready!!! I am really ready for a long haul till the end of the year. I feel excited inside about it, so thats good. I'm sticking with my plan and thats it, I'm done. Back on track. Today was the landscape workout, tomorrow is back to the gym! WOO HOOO! I'm really excited for TN and hoping that the enthusiasm will propel me into the body I know I can have.

Today I had a little light bulb moment, while I was shoveling...hehehe I was so happy that I was in decent enough shape TO shovel and do that kind of heavy labor for 10 hours today. Was I happy to be shoveling?????? NO!! LOL But really, why else should I be trying to get in shape, so that I can do stuff like that to help my hubby instead of being like "hello, I can't lift a shovel!!" So, there ya go, my bright spot in the day! LMAO

Hello?????

I feel like the LONE BLOGGER........hello lo lo lo lo *cricket chirp* Nobody is even around to comment anymore! Of course its been forever since I posted. I guess my challenge thread on the blends has taken over for my blog. Nothing new I guess. I'm trying to recommit to my fitness and nutrition program. (thats a real original) I will get back, I will. I will reach my goals by the end of the year.

Heres an update in a nutshell:
Kids out of school...BAH
2 all nighters planned for this week
Going to Vegas Friday(oooh baby)
Body VERY sore from working out and shoveling trenches
Boys all got buzz cuts from daddy as a surprise for me (yeehaw)
