When Did it Happen?!?!?!

I've come to the conclusion that I'm getting older. I'm not sure when this happened or how. I did a 5k walk on Saturday that I recovered just fine from, or so I thought. I woke up Sunday with an aching foot, which after going to the gym Monday ached a little more and now after going to the gym today is stiff. I'm hobbling around like an old lady! Well than I guess I'll spend the rest of the day scrap booking my Pelican pictures. I really want to have it done to take to NY and before Casey leaves. I'm gonna miss Casey!!

Pool Days

Pool Days
Originally uploaded by JeannineS.

Well, it has been awhile since I've blogged. I've had "pool days". You might think that means laying by the pool, but it really means cleaning the pool and going to Pool School. Joe and I went and learned alot about the upkeep of the pool. Then there was the Pelican game on Friday, working 16 hours on Saturday and well, you know how it goes. I've finally got some time to sit at the computer before I go work out for the morning.

On that subject, since the gym boycott last week, I think I only went 2 days in my diet week and I lost 3 1/2 pounds! So as a compromise between my physical health improving (5 days at the gym) and my mental health (not losing weight because of muscle mass), I think I've found a compromise. 3 days at the gym, 2 of weight training and 1 strictly cardio. I'll try that for awhile and see how it works.

House stress seems to be getting the best of me; I need to let it go. The house is coming alone VERY slowly but surely. Wedding things are going along great also. Next week I'll go see if I can get my dress altered.

I've got to go work out!!

GYM BOYCOTT!!!

I have decided to boycott the gym until Saturday. We'll I'm really only missing today; Thursday and Friday are my off days. I have been going to the gym 5 days a week for about 5-6 weeks and weight wise I haven't really change. Yeah, I know exercise is good for me, I'm building muscle, muscle weighs more than fat...blah, blah, blah! My mental health jus couldn't take it today. Beside I will get Marcus today and we will swim.
Wedding plans are moving along. I have got my shows so now I can find someone to alter the dress. No, we still do not have anyone to officiate the wedding. That's Joe's job and the wedding is only 3 months away, why should he rush? He's only known about for ohhh...for about a year now!
Casey is leaving me soon - I will miss her!!

Thanks to ME who posted on my blog. I think that I have the settings right for everyone to leave comments.

Techno challenged

Well my friend Jennifer called me today and said that she cannot leave me a message on my blog, that I have some sort of block. I can't find where that might be! I always thought that I was fairly "in the know" about web things, but I'm starting to feel very technology challeneged!

Nothing else really new. The latest wedding news is trying to find cheap airline flights for out of town guests - flying into P-Cola is so expensive! I'm hoping ticket prices go down soon!

By the way, work politics really stink! Somedays I feel like a come home with a ton of bricks on my shoulders!

First Try

Casey and I had a craft day today. We worked on the center pieces for the tables at the wedding. Since that didn't take too long, she showed be how to upload pictures into my blog. I'll have to take some more and see if I can do it all by myself!

Let me catch you up. I have finally lost another pound for a total of 30 lbs. I still have yard work to do but it is deathly hot today so I don't think I'm going to do it - I'll get back to you on that. Almost all my wedding invitations are done; I have about 35 left to do. Maybe I'll finish them today. So many decisions, such little time!

Sick Day

I have worked at the same job for a little over 4 years. In that time I think I've called out sick once. Today I had to leave sick. I came home, medicated and slept for 5 hours in the middle of the day. I feel like a bum! I didn't go to the gym or the tanning bed. I sat and watched as Joe (finally!!) fixed the lawn mower and took care of the backyard of the Money Pit. It's starting to shape up some.

My brother got married today. I am the eldest of three and will be the last to get married. There are times when this bothers me, but for the most part I know I am a better person for it. I have traveled, partied and lived my life the way I've wanted since I was 24. I have no regrets! I have lived the family life with Joe since March 11th, 2002 and can wait to grow old with him. Maybe we'll even be blessed with one more "Little Ingram".

First Timer

I've decided to create a blog so that I may keep in touch with my friend Casey, who is a blogger, and is also moving. This may also help me "de-stress" as I have just moved into what I affectionatley call the "Money Pit" and I am also planning my wedding. So right now instead of cleaning the pool, mowing the yard, sweeping the house or writing out wedding invitations, I am typing.

I'm also currently attending Weight Watchers. While some people don't like to talk about it, I will gladly tell you that I'm fat but trying my best to become smaller. I've been going for 18 weeks now and have lost 29lbs. I'm bumbed because I have been going to the gym five days a week for four weeks now and I can't get past this little plateau I'm on. I'm going to a meeting tonight where they will tell me I've gained or maintained. (My scale says maintained but you never know!) It's frustrating as all hell!
