Fat Camp
Let me start by saying two things: I may not be "fat" and it may not necessarily be a "camp" per se, but that's the mind set I've adopted for Operation Make-under Missus O. Yes, that is Make-under. I'm in desperate need of simplification...Starting with my mind and body. (stepping up on my soap box now)
For those of you who know me (which means everyone since no one else reads this somewhat pathetic blog), i'm a quite active and health conscious kind of gal. I watch what i eat, i hit the gym several times a week etc. blah blah blah. now, herein lies the problem. I'm a hamster on a wheel. Not really improving anything, just kind of holding steady, but yet shocked that nothing ever changes? not so sweet and i've had just about enough.
I walked into a good old Weight Watchers meeting yesterday and signed myself on up. Many people may be ashamed to admit it, but hey, i am who i am so here it is. i want to feel healthier and get to the place i've always wanted to be, but never quite am. it's the dreaded 10-15 lbs. most of us tend to carry unwillingly (in mind that is). every time i think intelligently about this it's just plain embarrassing. i mean really. if i'm not the factor in control of how i feel and look, then who is? it's a big fat joke-pun intended- so wish me luck on my journey to self awareness. lol!
On to more interesting topics...
I'm at the brink of chaos at my house. the mister and i are planning to remodel the kitchen and some other spaces. in theory it might sound "fun" or "exciting". in reality it's a big fat pain in my ass. and might i add - a big fat pain in the mister's ass since i tend to displace my "whoa is me" on him. poor mister o. he should win the gold medal for patience. and the gold medal for hard work while we're at it.
the mantra i've adopted is something a great friend told me via a coffee mug gift. i've used it nearly every morning for that first cup of coffee since...SIMPLIFY. you may not think this is profound. but when you live in my head, it's nothing less.
for today, peace out.

Simplification sounds awesome. Good luck with your new program, ever think of doing yoga instead of being the hamster on the wheel at the gym? There is a good teacher I could recommend in Portland if you are interested...
Learn to embrace what you have been given. Not all women on this green earth were meant to weigh 110 lbs! You look great, but keep working your ass off sis! Love ya....
thanks guys...a little encouragement goes a long way. ps-was really doing yoga 5 days a week then got all ADD and needed to start running and going gym rat style again. i was thinking of starting up yoga again and dragging b along. he needs it SO bad. is always injured!
