Waiting on a Snow Day

Helloooooo...

today was a better day, eating wise. I actually did the right things by drinking most of all my fluid today. 40oz of water is not only nothin' to sneeze at, but mighty impressive if you ask me. I suggest you keep sneezing to a minimum when you find you have to pay the water bill so often, but I digress.

For some reason, I am really tired today, and really not in the best of moods. I don't know why. Maybe its PMS. Hmmmm, a regular cycle. That's just downright curious! Anyway, I have vowed to snap out of it by going to sleep. That is just sooooo healthy.

Oh, tonight we are expecting snow and then ice. Tim is doing the secret "no school dance" that all Education majors were taught upon obtaining their degrees. I am not sure what it is exactly, but I think it involves baby oil, a hockey puck, and three ice cubes taken from an enemies freezer and a feather.

I had plans for tomorrow. Max and I were going to find a cake for his birthday celebration on Sunday, and some Elmo plates and hats at the party store. Then we were going to find me some work out clothes since Tyra (Banks) has informed me of the correct sports bra I should be wearing. Then we were going to JC Penny and my favorite new store National Wholesale Liquidators to look for curtains for the bedroom. Nowhere in these plans did we ask for the companions of snow and ice. Something tells me I will be in the house all day with the rest of my family. Luckily, I have removed all dangerous food (save the sugar cookies ) from the house.

And now its confession time. I have not exercised (save the dancing around Max and I do during the day) since this whole endeavor started.

I don't have an excuse. I actually own a gym membership. On Monday we purchased Tae Bo DVD's which I have done in the past. So what the heck is wrong with me?

I should be running from the house to get some Mikki time away from my crazy children. Instead, I am obsessed with keeping a bedtime chart and helping Max learn to soothe himself to sleep, and the stupid gym does not have day care for children under two years old. Ugggg

Tae Bo was good to me and for me when I did it back in the day.

I do remember being slightly traumatized by his outfit back in the day. He used to wear this electric blue unitard thing that stopped just below the nipples. It took me quite a while to get over the shock.

I think I lost more weight laughing than kicking and punching my way to a fitter me. So, tonight, I am writing this down in order to be held accountable to myself and to anyone who is reading this. Tomorrow, February 22, 2008, I am going to reacquaint myself Billy Blanks. Hopefully, in the new tapes/dvds he is not wearing that electric blue uni-tard that only covered half of his nipples. I remember being so distracted by that in the beginning. I just kept asking "was this intentional? Does he think this is sexy?" I can assure him its not.

I will be sure to give my fashion preview of the Billy Blanks dvds.

Time for bed.

Until the next time,

Your Recovering Fat Girl,
Mikki
