10 MORE things

I have my 100 things list, but there is totally more than that. Which is why, when MommyPie tagged me with this meme I was all “meh, thats easy, I’m certifiably wacko!!”.
Here we go :)

Tell us/me/the world 10 interesting/random/quirky/normal/silly things about yourself … things you’re looking forward to, things about you personally, whatever you want. Then pick some more people to do it too!

1. I count the stairs when I walk up and down…every time. I usually do it in my head but every once in a while I catch myself whispering it.

2. I always put my socks on before I put my pants on.

3. I like to unload the dishwasher, but I hate touching dirty plates. Even if we just ate dinner, it doesn’t matter. This is why hubby does the loading of the dishes at night and I unload in the morning.

4. I am not looking forward to camping this weekend, but I will make the most of the relaxation time with my family. We’ve covered this though :)

5. I think I might want to try and work from home, I miss having my own spending money from my pay checks. Only about 10 hours a week though.

6. I brush my kids teeth at night. They get to do it on their own in the morning, but I want to make sure they get it all so at night I brush first…yes even my 6 year old. I don’t know how or when I will stop.

7. I’m a little bit of a freak about clean teeth. I don’t feel clean unless I brush, floss and use mouthwash every day.

8. I have dreams about people becoming super heroes and averting some crisis I’m involved in. And its a secret, I can never tell anyone, that is part of the dream. So I wake up wondering if I should say something about it or if it would be bad karma. I have these dreams a couple times a year.

9. I am excited to start the tile, carpet and paint projects in our home. I say that, because I don’t do any of the work. Well, I help paint a little.

10. I’m taking a nap today.

So there you have it :) Now I get to pick some people to continue the trend right? Oh….let me look over the blogroll here, hum, huh, well, okay….I choose:
Angelica, Georgie, Kelly and Lori, and Wendy! Why? I want to know more about you fabulous folks! :p

I’m posting a lot huh? I know….its crazy. Up next: Can you believe someone gave me an award??? I’ll tell you all about it later today!



Super Size

I wanted to write about how I am working out each day, and feeling so much better about myself. I wanted to write about how I really think that being healthy is so important, even more so than physical appearance. I wanted to tell you all that I can even see a difference and I on my way to losing that 60 pounds I need to shed.
The truth is, this is harder than I thought and I have only been giving it a mediocre effort. I break a sweat and that is about it.
This weekend we are suppose to go camping for the last time. We are going to our cousins cabin and I am not excited at all. I would rather sit in my house. Usually I love camping, but we haven’t seen this cousin for a long time. Also, I will be the largest person there. I can’t get that out of my head. I. Will. Be. The. Largest. Person. There.
I remember a time when I was the smallest. When I was so petite that I wore a size 2. I had never worried about my weight. I worked out sometimes but ate whatever I wanted. I had Sissy and was nursing her in my size 2 Gap jeans. Then I stopped nursing and the walls they came crashing down. I was gaining like 3-5 pounds per week. We were struggling financially and didn’t eat well. I of course didn’t have time or money for a gym membership. And..its never stopped.
I am embarrassed about my weight, the way I look and feel. I want to do better but I don’t apply myself. I hate to whine and complain about it, so I don’t usually.
Back to this weekend. I don’t want to go. Kind of like I never wanted to get family pictures taken because I was so fat. Now I decided I can’t have any pictures of my family just because of my weight. I hope to look back and see how much I have changed but right now I feel like its never going to get better.
See I waiver back and forth from fight and determination to settling and sulking. Right this minute, I am lost. I don’t know where to start, or what will give me the boost I so terribly need. I come from a generation of “see it now, want it now” and “quick fixes”…trust me if I could take a pill, drink a tea or eat my way to complete body satisfaction I would. I think that is what is holding me back so much. I keep expecting to see immediate results.
Sorry for the whiny ramble but I needed to. Feel free to leave advice too….if it worked for you, let me know. Anything to get me motivated these days.
Signed,
The largest person at the Cabin this weekend
