Randomness- again

1. I constantly complain about how I don’t like the size I am now and yet I do NOTHING to fix it. Don’t work out. Don’t eat right. Got 2 breakfast tacos today. Not just one. TWO. I just have no motivation right now and I wish I did because my blood pressure is back to not being hot and I know if I just ate right and lost about 15 lbs it’d be a lot better. I actually would love to lose 30 lbs…I’d be the most happy at that weight. Anyway, I’m praying that I can get some motivation here soon. I NEED to. You know?

2. This morning it was 54 degrees. I was freezing. You have to understand that it was almost 100 degrees everyday for three months straight. So when 54 comes, it feels like freakin winter. I ALMOST wanted to wear my coat. Almost. But we’re in for another great weekend of 70s and sunny everyday. I look forward to it.

3. It seems like there is never enough money for anything. Granted I have a slight problem with Etsy.com lately which I’ve shared. And yesterday I bought 2 more dresses for my girls. Hence when I said problem. But I swore to myself that that was my last purchase until after January. I’ve got to start saving for Christmas. And you know, paying our house taxes. Things that actually DO matter more than dresses for the girls. Again, lack of motivation. I see a trend here.

4. Speaking of trends, Monday night we decided that we were going to move Livie out of our bed and into her crib. This was major for us because Hannah slept with us until I got pregnant with Livie. Finally we MADE her move to her bed and that was a week long battle before she finally caved. She’s done great ever since but yeah, it wasn’t fun at first. And her sleeping with us lasted that long because we had tried several times to move her out of our bed and failed each time. We just assumed that moving Livie to her crib was going to be a battle and it’d take weeks and we were going to be exhausted and stressed but it was something we needed to do. Well go figure that Livie is actually the total opposite of Hannah in every aspect of her life so far…she’s more like me and NOT stubborn unlike her sister and father. She slept all night in her crib the very first night. And has every night since. I can’t tell you how awesome it’s been to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time. To NOT have little toes digging into my back. To NOT wake up with a little sweaty head against my shoulder. I will admit that I sorta miss her being that close to us. She seems so far away in her room. But the pros outweigh the cons and we’re so happy we did this. We actually wish we would have sooner. Mostly because it was such an easy transition.

Anyway that’s my Friday randomness for you. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

  • it’s hard to get motivation because we all want immediate results. I’ll do it with you if you want. Etsy is new to me and I can see how dangerous it is already. My only suggestion is print out your bank statement/cc statement for the month and highlight all the extras (dresses, etc) and put it on the fridge or near the computer. I did this one and just highlighted starbucks. needless to say, I brew my own coffee/lattes more frequently now.

  • I’ve been trying SO hard to not spend excess money. I’m not any good at it, but I’m making an effort. I made my Christmas lists for the boys already, and have them generally priced out. That way I know what I need to be spending, it gives me motivation.

    I also am saving for BlogHer, which means I’ve been cutting back on Starbucks. SOB.

    Losing weight is so hard, especially this time of year but you can do it! But girl…you are WAY gorgeous. Don’t stress.

  • I hear ya on saving money. I am no good at it either. I do have a bit in savings but I have to constantly draw on it just to live. Christmas is right around the corner, hard to believe!

    So glad Livie did great moving to her own crib! My 9 year old still gets up fairly consistently and gets in bed w/ me at night, but I’m a stickler that she at least go to sleep in her own bed!

    yep i always said that too. “if they can just start out in their own bed” but they both sleep in their own beds all night. PROGRESS!

  • Good for Livie with the easy transition. Not having kids, I never assumed that they regularly slept in bed with mom and dad. I guess I never thought about it. All my friends with kids have nurseys with cribs so I just assumed that is where the baby slept. LOL.

    Good luck with the motivation. It is hard, but eventually you will do it.

  • I’m unable to stop eating too, and it probably wouldn’t be so bad if I would just start working out. Yeah, but no MOTIVATION here either. Of course, I have about 100 pounds to lose, but I digress…

    I LOVE this weather. I’m hoping it’ll stay longer than 2 or 3 days this time, because it ROCKS!!!!

    Have a great weekend!!!

  • Lisa:

    Totally with you on the spending too much money and no motivation for exercise and healthy eating. Too bad money didn’t grow on trees and it didn’t matter what we ate, wouldn’t that be the perfect world!!!

    That’s awesome that Livie is sleeping well in her own bed, you guys must be happy to have your bed to yourselves again.

    Kaci has been sleeping in her own bed for like a year now. For the last month, Allie and I were kinda missing it…so we’ve been trying to get her to sleep in our bed for just one night. She wouldn’t do it. Till the other day she did. Then I realized, it was much better with her in her own bed.

  • Issa:

    We did it at six months. But I’m so with you, the pros way out weighed the cons.

    Have a great weekend.
