Lots 'o wet clothes.

Our dryer died on us so we had to go dryer shopping today. Our plan was to go to one specific store and we knew the exact dryer we were going to get... We tell the man we want the dryer and he tells us they're out... so we pick another one... he says ok they have 3 he'll have it up front in 10 minutes. He then informs us they're actually out of it... so my husband goes and picks another one out... They say they have 2... then come back and tell us there's none left... They did this to us 4 times! My husband finally just told them to forget it that we were going to take our business elsewhere. We end up finding a little appliance store with the sweetest people working there. We got our dryer... finally.
The rest of the day has been kind of a blur... We took a nap, ate dinner, and played the rest of the night... That's all I really remember. I do know I'm tired and my eyes hurt.

Refreshed.

Church went really well today. It was our first time attending this church and the people are super sweet and very welcoming. A lady even sent me home with like 6 HUGE cinnamon rolls. The baby went to the nursery. They split all the kids up into age groups. She gets to be with other children from 0-2... I believe... I think it's great she'll get to be around other children atleast once a week considering she's never around other children... ever. Poor baby doesn't know how to act around other kiddos.
We had planned on sticking with our diet today... so we got up early and jogged, but after church my husbands partner wanted to take us out to eat so we splurged and made today our free day instead of tomorrow. We're technically only on day 6, but since we exercised and splurged on the same day it equaled out to day 7 since on your free day you're not even supposed to exercise. Wow, that sounds confusing.
To be real honest I'm not so crazy about the free day because after eating bad foods my tummy is extremely upset with me. Oh well, we'll be back on track first thing in the morning.
We also got a water filter today and it made a world of difference so I think getting my 10 glasses in will no longer be a problem. I'm actually drinking water right now even when I don't have to be... since it's the free day I could be drinking my beloved Diet Dr. Pepper... but I'm not.
To top it all off... The house is clean. Floors mopped and everything. I love it.

A tale of a lazy Saturday

We got up around 8 this morning(Didn't go to bed until 1 because a friend of ours stayed the night) to work out. It was upper body again and I'm still so sore from the other day! lol It still feels good. I've been in better moods and have so much more energy. I hope this continues throughout the transformation. After working out I took a shower... then made us all breakfast. We watched Dirty Jobs... I love that show. Friend left... we cleaned house... That's about all I did today. Goofed around on the internet, but that's it. I didn't even get dressed or do my hair or makeup. That's very rare for me.
I was right, the hardest part of this is drinking and getting all my water in. I have yet to get all 10 glasses in. I know, bad.
Tomorrow morning we're going to have to get up reasonably early. We have to get up to jog... get ready... breakfast and then we're going to church. This is the first time of us attending this church so I'm a little nervous. I don't know why... just around new people and a new routine for us I guess. I know everything will work out just fine.

It's all good.


Today I feel absolutely wonderful... Last night I got 9 hours of much needed sleep. I haven't gotten that much sleep in... I don't even remember how long.

I'm officially on day 3 of my new "lifestyle" and I feel awesome.(Well, day 3 is almost over.) My body is loving me! The hardest part for me is getting all of my water in. I haven't been this hydrated... like ever, I think.

That's all for now. Goodnight.

Just a quickie

Hubby is kinda rushing me off to bed... I really don't know why. Today was good. Only on day two of the exercise bit and I feel great. Sore, but great... that good burning kinda feeling. I'll sit down and right more tomorrow... About what? I don't know. Nothing too exciting has happened.

Sore and exhausted... But I feel alright.

We started our new exercise and eating plan today. I did weight training as soon as I woke up this morning for about an hour. My muscles hurt so much right now. I was actually having to take breaks in between washing my hair this morning in the shower... and putting on eyeliner was really difficult. That's how bad my arms muscles are right now. lol On the upside I feel like I really accomplished something. No pain, no gain, right? Another plus, I haven't been hungry all day and I still have my last "meal" to eat... or drink rather. Tomorrow I'm getting up and walk/jog/running for only 20 minutes, then I'm done for the rest of the day.
I plan on editing and posting some pics then I'm going to go relax in bed. I'm not really tired as much as I am just drained and exhausted right now. After all, while I'm resting is when my muscles are healing and building. Woot!

Overwhelmed... or something.

Well, I couldn't post Friday because my account was locked due to them thinking I was a bot...
Saturday I had no internet access, but it was a great day. I spent all day with my husband baby and all night... I mean all night until about 2 in the morning with some girlfriends of mine that I haven't seen in what seems like forever! We talked about absolutely everything! Soo much fun! Afterwards I went out with hubby and one of his friends to eat... We didn't get home until almost 4 in the morning just to turn around and get up at 7:30 to get ready for church. Easter was a blast. Last Easter the baby was too little to do anything. Actually as soon as we got to the family gathering she fell asleep on my shoulder the whole time.
We got so little sleep on Saturday night, left my families town around 8:30... didn't get home until around 10:30 and I was still supposed to go grocery shopping because we were supposed to start our new "lifestyle" today... but by the time I got my grocery list done it was almost midnight and I was already so tired. So we decided to hold off until Tuesday and go shopping tonight... which we did.
For whatever reason I've felt really stressed today. I don't know what it is. The house was a mess from all the traveling bags everywhere and all of the baby's Easter stuff... Plus, hubby was making a mess with the ceiling tiles... I'm a little overwhelmed with the recipes I'll soon be making... I have to get up... drink two glasses of water (I hate water)... follow my exercise schedule (which took me forever to make) about 45 minutes after that I'm supposed to eat breakfast... then two hours later have a midmeal... two hours after that eat lunch... two hours later another midmeal... 3-4 hours later, dinner... then a couple hours after that a midmeal... or desser, whatever you wanna call it. It's just so different than what I'm used to and I won't be able to get dumbells until next week, so I just hope I'm doing everything alright. I really shouldn't stress over stuff like this, but right now I'm extremely exhausted from the stress.
Oh, and to top everything off... I skipped 2 days of my 365 project. After 175, I miss a day?!?!?!
Breathe Audrey, breathe.

So... This is it.

So today was pretty normal... I watched the movie American Gangster, which was all in all a good movie. I didn't enjoy the scenes of people shooting up, and getting shot... I just can't handle the whole needle and blood scenes. Ick.
I'm excited for this weekend because I'm going home to visit my family and friends for the holiday. I love being around my family... but as most families there's always that one family member that you dread seeing... try to avoid talking to or being around that entire time, but then fear you're coming off as rude... so end up engaging in horrible, completely uncomfortable conversation anyway. Ah well, I can't like 'em all, right?
