Whee this should be. I broke down and bought me and B a Christmas/New Year's present. The entire kit and kaboodle. Wii + Fit Plus + Balance Board
Extravagant I know, but I know how addicted I am to video games, and I am hoping that having a video game that gets me actively doing something will be the motivation I need to get moving and get healthy.
That said: I have a fitness Age of 49. A BMI of 29 (just under obese). However, B did start crying in the middle of the test and so I "took a rest" to attend her, and they dont let you test but once per day. That and 1/2 way through my workout I took a rest to breastfeed and then she got on the balance board to do the step aerobics with me. I hope that I can get her doing some of the more simple activities that dont requrie her to deal with pressing buttons at specific times, but allow her to do hula hoops or something. I have a feeling that the board doesnt see her tho.
So I want to keep track of my progress here, this too will keep me towing the line. I will say that even though I was awake before 0400 today, I had a lot of energy throughout the day. it is so hard to get up and exercise, and i forget just how much energy it really gives you.
I want to buy B a bike, not sure if I shoudl go for a push tricycle, a regular tricycle, a big wheel, or a little girls bike with training wheels. she is 2.
i am off to pick her up and go home and try some yoga before do our bedtime routine

the other woman
I am a magnet. Even from 4000 miles away. how is it that I can be a magnet when I havent even seen this person for 3 months? How does that happen?
Women are such dummies. Take it from me girls, if you "think" there is something, or are afraid there is something, that your husband is attracted to another woman, don't tell him. Chances are great that he may have been attracted from a distance (we are all human) but had no plans to act on it, but if you put that idea into his head... or the idea that the woman might be attracted to him or "after him" guess what. You will create a self fufilling prophecy. I have been that "woman" three times now (that I am aware of. Three times, where I had no intention of pursuing anything with said husband, didnt even think of it, perhaps had a bantering light flirtation that would have gone no further. But then, the wife made the tragic mistake of saying to her hubby: She likes you, she wants you... or You want her dont you? Or, are you attracted to her? something anything, which puts it into his head, that maybe, perhaps, maybe there is something there...
Stop it.
My reaction has always been, you are being stupid. (to the husband i mean), and "i have no plans to get involved with you or any married man" whcih is the truth. BUt guess what ladies... that drives them bonkers. then they pursue me even harder... and they pull away from you, the one who gave them the idea, the one who is now nagging or acting suspicious or crying or asking "do you love me" "are you having an affair" or who are giving them the cold shoulder.
so now there is this tantalizing woman that is playing hard to get (in their minds), and their wife, who is actng more and more like hamburger every day.
Knock it off. Dont mention me again. Dont nag, dont pout, dont ask, dont follow, dont yell. Cool it, and be the woman he fell in love with, pretend to be that lively vivacious confident woman that doesnt need him. shwo him that you are steak.
I dont want these guys, I dont want the one that cheats, but for whatever reason, I collect them, like magnets. My family calls them puppies or conquests.
so ladies please dont point me out to them.

2nd day back
Well this is day 2 back at work and back in NC. Belle is doing incredibly well at daycare, I dropped her off in her new class and she sat down to have nanas with the rest of the kids. Didnt even look up for a kiss from mama.
I am doing ok, but not very productive yet back at work. I am trying to change some bad behaviors, such as saying YES to everything, and geting all stressed about stuff I cant control, and procrastinating and not taking care of me in the mean time...
I fell into the trap of course today, cause one of my many bosses sent me an email asking "when..." and of course then i jumped through hoops to get IT scheduled, and of course it doesnt work for him,. so guess what. will do IT when i have scheduled it, and too bad he cant make it. But this is par for the course for me. I am in a position where in fact I make strategic decisions and plans for what needs to happen, but the actual doing should be delegated to others,... except of course i am a doer, and a lot of the time I take the action on myself... whcih is where i get myself in a problem.
so between that sort of behavior at work, and then of course taking care of my Bellinator all by myself (most of the time), which means we wake up do breakfast get dressed try to get out of the house on time (mommy tries to get bf dishes picked up and not leave too much a mess), this is a 3 hour process on a good day. then i pick her up at day care, and go through trying to get dinner on the "table" change clothes, change her clothes, relax, she wants to nurse, we should have a bath every night (yeah right...) and then into pyjamas and bed and clean up the dishes etc... With goodnight books... and I am exhausted at 2000 8pm. she of course crawls back out of bed and plays until 10pm.
and then i open my eyes at 0600 and we start all over again. How do you all do this? I have no energy...
ok I am off to get her...

New Year New Try
Well I am at it again. Perhaps i will keep it up this time, who knows. Now that Belle is a bit older and can play by herself for minutes at a time, perhaps i can find time to keep at this.
Or should I maybe use that time to sweep and mop and pick up toys? and take polaroid pictures of where everything goes so Belle can learn to pick up after herself as well. I dont suppose I can ever expect her to pick up if mama still cant do it. One thing at a time I suppose. My biggest issue is clothes, what do you do with those clothes that are not dirty, but not clean. I know some people put them back into the closet, or drawers, but is that right. so I hang and drape them, and they get crumpled and fall and end up in the laundry basket anyhow.
Belle takes after me with picking up after herself (meaning she doesnt do it). so I know that I have to change if I want her to grow up with good habits, same with food and exercise too. these are all on my todo list for this year, starting new habits...
