Oh what a slacker!

Well, it has obviously been over a month. There are many reasons for that, some valid, others not so much. I am sometimes torn between the idea that I have so much I want to blog and the idea that I really have nothing worthwhile to say.
My children sat me down at the end of December and told me that they love me ANY way I am, but they don`t think I am happy with how I look. You that know me know I am a bit........."fluffy". And my kids are right. I hate my appearance.It is funny because I often forget that I am no longer that smaller 20 year old girl. Til I see a mirror or WORSE a glass door that reflects me in all of my glory. So with their gentle support I have embarked on a lifestyle change. In January I gave up pop and treats and candy and junk food. I do allow myself a free day on Sunday, but no pop. It was brutal. I also write down what I eat in my special Angry Bird notebook. (Which is highly appropriate because I feel like an angry bird a lot). And at my doctor`s appointment I had indeed lost a TINY LITTLE BIT of weight. And I try not to be discouraged because it really is such a small amount. It is now February and I am supposed to add in exercise. So far, I haven`t. I loath and detest exercise. But I really gotta buck up and get on that bandwagon. I really want to be free of this weight, it weighs me down. Ha! Pun intended. It is a challenge for me. As I put on Facebook recently, it is SO much more fun getting fat than getting unfat.
I have also been subbing every day since December. And I am just so grateful and at the same time overwhelmed. Life at our house seems to be out of control and I am slacking. I seem to be coming up short everywhere I turn. I think I need to adopt Nike`s slogan. Just Do It. But I am not sure how to do that? So, if any of you 3 people reading this have any advice, ideas, inspiration. Well, let me know!
And I am going to be better at this blogging thing. I love blogging and blog stalking too much to slack so much.
