Day to Day Life

Well here we are five weeks into 2015 and while some things are coming together some are not! GPA has not dropped under 3.5, I am making a to do list each week and actually crossing stuff off of it...lots rolls over but smaller portions of what rolls over, my getting my shit in one sock project is coming together. One area at a time 15-20 a paycheck at the dollar tree and I can actually see what I have where and how much of it. I also have a new approach to couponing and how and what to stockpile. And as I work on this, I am slowly phasing the junk out of the house....less and less each shopping trip. I also have started storing said junk in cabinets I am never in and have found the out of sight out of mind thing is working...for the most part. With all this said there is a part that is still slacking...my weight loss. I am just not finding that balance between wife, mom, student, volunteer, and fitness junkie. BUT I have a plan...I wouldn't be the Mad Dieter without one! I also apologize for not writing here more but when you are in a writing class (which I am on the second week of the last one) writting for fun...doesn't sound as fun lol. 

I want to touch on something here that I am dealing with and still have touch and go moments with...I had a death of a friend and while it was expected...he was battling cancer.  It still hurt like a son of a bitch, still does. He was only a year older than me. Has me facing my own mortality and I took my time and dealt with it. Still dealing with it. But I am also pulling from this emotion. I am writing again, no not here...poetry for the first time in years I have my edge back and I have a huge project in the works that I will share later on as the details and the actual what will fall into place. 

I also have to take a minute and tell you what an amazing man I have in my corner, my husband. I know I do not talk about him often, but this man is

everything I didn't know I wanted in a man! He is an asshole, he is annoying, but he is the sweetest, most supportive, and all around breath of fresh air I have ever been with. He took a broken shell of my former self and is slowly bringing her back. I feel the me I was back before there was a baby, back before there was pain of death, beck before there was doubt, and is nursing her back to health. Last night we watched the finale of The Biggest Loser and before it was over...he was trying to sign me up. Knowing that it was not only a long shot but that someone would have to move in and help with Abbie while I was gone if it was even possible. That in it's self is support that means the world to me and has me striving to figure some stuff out.

Now that I have said all of this, what does February hold for me? Well let's see...
1) Finish my writing classes and start psychology! 
2) Finish redoing my bedroom, find a queen size bed, and have my exercise corner back 
3) Finish my bathroom redo and the kitchen storage. 
4) Get my water up from 60 ozs closer to the 140 ozs I am supposed to be drinking
5) Get my joint poetry project up and running
6) Lose 10 lbs
7) Start the phasing out of soda since the energy drink phase out will be done AGAIN!
8)Make it to playgroup at least 2-3 times (I now have two to choose from!)
9) Get back into once a month measurements and weekly weigh ins
10) Get back to Zumba at least 4 times this month!


Well time to get moving...got to get baby dressed and myself together...Errands to run and money to spend. Until next time y'all....

Happy Dieting!
