On December 31, 2007 I re-joined the flylady site. (www. flylady.net) My house is a complete disaster. I'm extremely lazy or something.. basically I'd rather be doing anything but housework. I am easily distracted by anything and everything, and then when I finally realize that I can't see the floors anymore and it is time to do something about it I don't have a clue where to start. It doesn't help that the three musketeers are toddling behind me messing up as I clean up.
Sooo back to flylady. I have started from scratch. I was successful at the flylady thing back in Japan for awhile but I don't think I ever started from the bottom, you know (er, well, maybe you don't if you've never gone to the flylady site) she has you start with "babysteps" and the first 31 days are outlined for you. You just do what she says on each day, take it one baby step at a time. So thats what I'm doing. Babysteps. And I feel like I'm actually going to do it, I can actually stick with this. I sure hope so, I need it.
That brings me to my next point. I just started school again. I'm taking 3 online classes. WHAT AM I THINKING?!?! I have no time in my day as it is! Now I'm going to have to figure out how to get schoolwork done? Well this may be the push that I need to quit wasting all my (free) time on the internet and do something productive.

So much to do, so little motivation......
I don't know what my problem is. Maybe its that I am oh, around 50 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT but I have no motivation lately. I am downright lazy. It doesn't help that I am battling this food addiction. Yesterday I was literally wandering the house in a daze, trying to keep myself from eating. Is that terrible or what? I did it though. I managed to NOT stuff my face all day. I did eat more than I should have at dinner but I realized that I can't beat myself up over my small failures or I'll give up on the whole thing. My weight is a serious issue now. I weigh more now than I have EVER in my life, except for the times that there was a baby in my belly. And that doesn't really count.
A few things I've noticed about being this overweight:
I have a hard time getting up off the couch, just like when I'm pregnant.
My legs ache after being on my feet for awhile.
My clothes are getting too tight!
Its uncomfortable to lay on my back in bed- I can FEEL the fat squishing my lungs!!
My heels crack in the summertime.
Thats just to name a few. I have finally realized that if I don't make a change now, my weight and my eating habits are going to set the tone for the REST OF MY LIFE. I don't want to get bigger, I don't want to set a stuff-my-face example for my kids. So, here I am. Once again trying to make a change. Hopefully this time it will stick. Its for my future.

A new year, a new beginning
I've been planning to post this blog for awhile now. I seem to have trouble wandering over to my blog lately to post anything, as if that isn't apparent.
I am excited for 2008. For the first time in my life I understand the significance of New Year's Resolutions. A new year gives you a chance to start fresh, start anew. Take those crappy habits and chuck them. Give yourself an entire year to make a change in your life. Its only for a year.
So here I sit at the computer, sipping one of my last Dr Peppers of 2007 because 2008 is going to be SODA FREE FOR ME! No, not FREE SODA for me, I mean I will not be drinking any soda for an entire year. Of course I've been gearing up to that by drinking the crap out of some Dr Pepper and any other sodas that strike my fancy. But when that 2008 ball drops I will quit for ONE WHOLE YEAR. Its bad stuff, its terrible for you. It is my opinion that it is causing lots of health problems in this country, first and foremost being the number of people being diagnosed with diabetes. Its is becoming so incredibly common. I don't want to be one of the numbers. I also don't want to model poor behavior-- drinking soda-- for my kids. It just doesn't work, telling them that I can have it and they can't. They won't grow up thinking its wrong, they'll probably want it MORE because it was restricted. Maybe high fructose corn syrup will be illegal by the time they are my age-- one can only hope.
Well here I am rambling again, but hey its my blog so I can ramble if I want to.
2008 Resolutions:
1. NO SODA
2. Blog once a week
Thats it. If I make my list much longer it will be too much for me and I won't do any of it. Hopefully I accomplish #1.

Rain! WONDERFUL RAIN!
ITS RAINING! Not just a little rain, we're having a STORM complete with pouring rain and thunder! Its been MONTHS since we had a good rain. Half the city is on mandatory water restrictions. I've been worried about our well although it has never given me REASON to worry so I guess thats good. But in our neighborhood every 1 acre lot has a well on it so just because we're not using excess water doesn't mean the neighbors aren't.
Anyway, HOORAY FOR RAIN!
