hey hey

so one of my friends did a post about doing something for ourselves. mom's don't do much for themselves. well, at least this mom doesn't. so i'm determined to live my life again. 

more music.
more photography.
less fat.

seriously. i deserve to take the time for myself to work out. my main problem is i'm a morning person. if i don't get it done in the morning, i probably won't get it done at all. and straight up honest, i hate working out with the girls there. i don't like running, which is about the only thing i can do with them. do my 2 ft. long legs look like a runners'? nope. i love working out. i love strength training, aerobics, swimming, sports, hiking, and i could see myself doing any of these things on a regular basis. 

but i really suck at finding babysitters. i hate asking people to watch my kids. i feel like it's the hugest burden ever. and i hate asking over and over. i'm already increasing my baby sitter asking with my photography and piano lessons (both of which are absolutely necessary seeing as how we're buying a house. we're ok w/o supplemental income, be we kinda go nutZo if we're not saving at least 10%, so i'm dedicated to helping us make that 10% to save... yada yada ... TMI)

babysitters. hate finding babysitters. hate asking for friends to babysit. everytime i do it it's seriously a nightmare. hate it. 

so that leaves me with running. or brisk walking i guess. so i guess that's what i need to do.

morning. walking. with the girls and an ipod. it's do-able. 

and yes, i'm still counting calories. but now i'm counting 1400 of them instead of 1000. today, i think i consumed all 1400 in frosted flakes alone ...

1000 calories

for the past month, monday thru friday, i've been keeping a food log and eating no more than 1000 calories. 

so when i went to doc monday (for the swine flue incident) you can imagine my dismay when i hadn't lost a single pound. 

not one.
