WHEN IT`S AFTER 9:00PM.AT NIGHT SHOULD YOUR NIEGHBORS BE FIXING THINGS AGAINST YOUR WALL?
I LIVE IN AN APARTMENT.
IT`S THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR.
WHEN DO PEOPLE HAVE RESPECT FOR THEIR NIEGHBORS OR DID THAT GO OUT THE WINDOW A LONG TIME AGO?
JUST VENTING.

Since I'm going snowboarding for a 3-day weekend I decided to double up on my workouts as there's no way I'll be doing them when I'm away. Oh man...I did Tuesday's workout since I missed it and next Monday's. This is my way of being proactive instead of beating myself up over not working out. It's a change from my usual way of thinking and I'm hoping that it'll help with being more positive about my fitness goals.

Some of you may be thinking that I'll be working out enough during the weekend with snowboarding but I'm sure the weekend will include many brown sodas (and nachos!) in the sunshine as the conditions are very Springy.

Oh and thanks kdencinitas for the mini Easter Egg tip. I'll be counting on you for an intervention soon! deeeeeelicious and so small

I have to admit that I ate a Cadbury's Easter Cream Egg and half a bagel with Nutella for breakfast today. I worked out after though! and I"m going ice skating tonight. So that does mean I can eat the other half of bagel?

IF I SEE ONE MORE SNOW FLAKE.I AM GOING TO SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else out here in HoneyLine-Land TALL? I wore my 2.5 inch heels today (I'm 6'3") and all was good at work, but then I stop at the grocery store and people are stopping dead in their tracks, staring at me like I have 2 heads! I felt so insecure. I've had these fabulous shoes for 3 years and this is only the third time I've worn them.

I don't know why today it bothered me so much; I'm used to getting gawked at, but I felt so confident to start the day and then..........BLAH!! I guess I'm just more frustrated with myself for letting it bother me than I am at the "starers".

So I just wanted to get this off my chest somewhere… I haven’t been on here in a while, and I thought this would be a good place to share some feelings. I have been having a hard time getting motivated this year. I worked out on 01.01.2010 and that is it. I have set some goals, but I haven’t done a single thing to try and reach those goals. Last night I decided to get on the elliptical, but there was a piece that broke off. I don’t want to risk damaging the machine or myself. I got up at 5 this morning, and I really wanted to go to the gym, but I don’t have anyone to work out with. Aaron plays basketball in the mornings, and I am by myself. I don’t feel safe to ride my bike or go for a jog alone that early in the morning. It is so hard with my schedule to even find time to work out. I know people use that as an excuse all the time, but I am serious. I work full time, and I am taking 3 night classes (Tue, Wed, & Thu 630 pm – 915 pm). I need to have time to study, keep the house clean, keep the finances in order. By the time I get home, I am exhausted. I just feel so stretched. I really want to lose 30 pounds, but as I mentioned before… I have ZERO motivation. All my close friends live so far away (Jen is in New Hampshire, Becki is in Colorado, and Sharon is in Indiana). I haven’t really met any girls here, and the ones I do meet definitely don’t want to work out at 5:30 in the morning or they don’t need to lose weight like me. I know I am just whining and being a baby right now, but I just don’t know what to do. I am sick of sitting around and not doing anything, but I just have so many obstacles. Thanks for listening.

I am really sad the Chargers lost. I was in San Diego this weekend and the energy was so upbeat, positive - nice to feel that and not think about the devastation around the world just for a bit. But they lost so now I'm bummed. Will get over it by the morning though. It's just a game...

I can't help but be consumed by what is going on in Haiti. It makes my problems seem so completely insignificant when I see children searching for parents and parents searching for children under rubble, just to find out if they are dead or alive. What a terrible tragedy. I pray for all of the victims of the earthquake and want to do anything in my power to help!

So a friend of mine, actually my husband's friends new wife, is down to a size 5 (she wants to go back to a two). I was so bummed to hear it. I am happy for her but I know I will never be that small again. She wants me to start working out with her. I know she is lonely doing it on her own and she wants to help me, but when I work out with her, I just feel worse. Did I mention that she is much younger than we are too?

January always means clean up for me! I was going thru my fitness magazines one by one and started to feel crappy! Looking at all these pictures of women with perfect bodies! Now I know that they've been photoshopped but still..... Even the ones that say they're mother I look at their tummies and wonder "do they have a mommy tummy like me?" Doesn't look like it. The point is I bought them to learn how to get healthier yet everytime I look at them I feel like Crap! How healthy can that be?

I feel really really terrible, a girlfriend of mine and a teamroping buddy had a really bad accident on her horse New Years Day. She was at a big jackpot roping and when she was dallying her rope she cut off 4 fingers on her right hand.
They attached them all in a 16 hour surgery but I found out yesterday they had to remove 2, her index and middle finger. I feel so bad, she just celebrated her 46th birthday at the end of Dec and told everyone what a great year it was going to be.
Hope you don't mind me sharing this with you all but I feel so sad about it and needed to vent...Thanks bee's!!!

Monday my kids start back to school. I have loved to hand out with them, relax and watch our favorite movies. My husband and I are pretty adamant about keeping the kids active. Both boys are loving Jiu-Jitsu and down hill skiing.

I am really excited about starting my new workout routine and nutrition program. I have been in a rut for a while and needed some professional help since I don't see results. I have this extra "layer" from having kids that has been difficult to shed. I am all for learning from others. The worst thing you can do is get stuck and don't ask for help. Forget your ego at the door. I once watched a video of Will Smith who said it best. We have been on this earth for hundreds of years. Regardless of the situation, someone on this earth, past or present has made the same mistake. At this point in time, we are just duplicating our mistakes. There is someone out there who is more knowledgeable and we should take advantage of the information and at least try something new to make a change.

I am just a tiny bit glad the holidays are over so I can stop thinking about what I have to bake, cook, buy and wrap! The holidays are fun but crazy!
