SH*** Happens

SADIE

So today was supposed to be the grand kick-off to the new routine/get healthy thing. For those of you who have kids; you know that they ALWAYS seem to throw a monkey wrench in whatever you have planned. I was SUPPOSED to get up early this morning. Like an hour before I normally have to wake up the girls for school. I was SUPPOSED to have some me time and take a nice long walk/jog around my community to get my ass into gear. HA!
The first thing that went wrong is that my one year old refused to go down last night until well after 10. That means of course, I didn't get to bed until after midnight. If that wasn't bad enough, my brain wouldn't turn off. So I stayed there, tossing and turning until god-knows-what-time. TO TOP THAT (yeah it gets better).... My five year old comes in at 4a.m and says she had a bad dream and she NEEDED me. Really? Can someone explain this phenomenon to me? How do they know? It's like they have little detectors that go off when you have plans, or when you want to do something for yourself, or when God forbid you and your husband want to have....... ummmm. tea? yeah, tea. That's what we'll call it. ;-) Long story short, my alarm went off                                                            at 5:30, I said some 4 letter words that I can't type here, and went back to bed until it was time to get the girls ready for school. I did however take the dog for an extra                                                        long walk with the hubby since he was off today! Not the workout I was hoping for, but WHATEVER! It is what it is.









It is safe to say that I lack the motivation these chicks that go to the gym everyday or "run for fun" seem to have. I hate to workout. Mostly because I'm butt-tired, and the other part is BECAUSE IT SUCKS. Part 2 of my problem is that I HATE water. I hate boring plain awful water. There, I said it. I'm told that in order to lose this extra 10 pounds I have on me... ok it's 20.. FINE IT'S 30!! 30 frigging pounds! Happy now? Sheesh. Anyway, where was I? Oh, right. To lose this extra WEIGHT, I have to drink more water. Screw that. I brewed a gallon of green tea and I'm drinking that instead.  There's no sugar and I squeezed tons of lemon in it for taste. It's gotta be good for me right? It better be, cause I can't do the water thing. So here's my cup. I've had 3 of them so far.....I cant stop peeing. TMI? Oh well.

So the moral of the story is: Shit happens but we must all get over the setbacks. It was easy to say "I'll do it tomorrow" instead of pushing through today. Hopefully with the responsibility I've given myself of updating this blog, I can hold myself accountable for the bad days.
Tomorrow is a new day filled with new possibilities. Not only will I stick to my workout plan, I'll share one way I have saved tons of money on my weekly cleaning supply shopping! (Swiffer mop fans, prepare to have your minds BLOWN!) lol. Hasta manana!
