In case you have been wandering about my absence I have been having an affair with peeps. Yes, I have said it, I have been having an affair with those fluffy marshmallow concoctions. Why you may ask? I just do not know. I have always loved Peeps all my life they especially remind me of my grandpa. However, the love of peeps has not been my only obstacle the past couple weeks. I realize Michael and I have sadly strayed away from our lifestyle change. We were doing so well and than all of a sudden when there was a change in our lifestyle this new change suddenly came to a halt. We have been going through an on going schedule battle. Most nights Michael and I do not eat dinner together anymore , so we do not cook as much together. Also, the nights we do our shopping and weigh in have changed as well because I now work second shift on those nights. So, after several weeks of both of us in a slump we decided it was time to get out of it and go on with our lives. This is not a reason for us to quit just alter our schedule a bit. So, there is a proposed plan in play to see how it works for the next couple of weeks. This is it:
Monday- WEIGH IN DAY/RESULTS along with Shopping and Chopping!
Tuesday- Mike is in charge of the blog
Wednesday- Jocelyn is in charge of the blog
Thursday- Mike is in charge of the blog
Friday-Jocelyn is in charge of the blog
Saturday and Sunday will vary depending on if I work the weekend of not. If I work Mike will do it, if I am off than the blog is my responsibility.
Mike and I have found that having a laid out plan is best for us at this point since my schedule jumps around a lot and I am still in the midst of getting used to it! So, this is one of the many changes that is taking place in our life but it is very necessary. I have been feeling very guilty that I have been slacking on this lifestyle change and at times have been ready to throw in the towel.
The nice weather is putting me in a particularly good mood lately. Mike and I have been talking about purchasing roller blades and finally learning how to roller blade. This may be a little dangerous at first but have no fear I will be wearing a helmet. I have been thinking up all sorts of creative ways to get active over the next few months and roller blading is one of them. I also love to go on bike rides. Today I rode my bike to the gas station and put some air in it. My goal Wednesday is to actually hit the bike trail for about an hour before work. I figured if I could just find things to enjoy such as bike riding and roller blading than maybe just maybe taking the weight off won`t be as hard. I have also been researching the possibility of getting a pool pass for the summer to one of our public pools here in Sylvania because I have always loved to swim.This is up in the air for the moment along with a gym membership. I have been researching gyms lately as well but only really one sparks my interest just because it offers kick boxing and yoga. I have always wanted to try classes like those.
These are just some things I am thinking about today. Mostly the point of this blog was for two purposes, one to confess my affair with peeps and two to tell you WE ARE BACK!!! Now, due to us not weighing ourselves today we will announce our weights tomorrow of what we gained or lost since our last weigh in on the blog, mostly gain. I really don`t think either one of us has lost since last time we posted. However, next week is a very good week I can feel it in my bones!!!
So, thank you for those of us who have not given up on us. Please keep supporting us because we really do need it!
Until Wednesday,
Jocelyn
