Long time no see

I haven't been to chatty on here lately. Just busy with work and life. Still going strong, still eating better, and no fast food!!

The Fam and I moved into a new, bigger apartment and it's fantastic. Abby has her own room and life isn't so claustrophobic anymore. Blythe and I have been doing great and I honestly don't think we could be happier. Well, maybe if we won the lottery!

I think the eating better bit is really helping with our overall quality of life. Now that we aren't taking in greasy, heavy, bad for you fast food we are more positive it seems. In a much better mood in the mornings, I sleep better, and i enjoy the time I have with my family more.

My shift at work may change to 12-9 Monday through Friday. I like the idea, gives me a chance to spend time with my girls in the morning, and a chance to get things done on the weekdays.

Life is good.

Bite my tongue

My mom ended up coming out to see me, It was a mom kinda day, I felt much better after seeing her. Today was busy busy busy, and I STILL haven't done the paper. LE SIGH, I did how ever have very tasty fish and chips my husband made, and I made neck bite cup cakes I will soon enough take pics to share! I also made True blood, Tonight premier party was fantastic with a few close and wonderful friends, then SHHHH...I kicked them out and watched the second episode without them, they won't know though because they don't read this! muhahahaha!! True Blood is off to a great start!! I am a huge fan of the books and I am more of a reader, but Charlene Harris you are in TROUBLE, this season looks to be better then book 4, which is my favorite *BY FAR* I giggled, and clapped, cheered, and yelled, all in the first clip of the second episode! I was SO confused by the 1st ten mins of the premier, but it's okay, they have started to smoosh books together and changes things all around, It could get very crazy in the next few years, BACK TRACKING what they have already really changed.

Off to bed, I'll do my paper tomorrow, I'm TIRED!

It's been forever and a year

OH Fellow Bloggers how I have missed you! It has been very busy in the Wilson house hold and I am glad to be back again!! Well I'm down 15 pounds still no fast food and we are officially moved!! Life is good! I should however be working on a paper due later today, but the topic is so painful I rather put if off till the hour or so before it's due.

It has been an excellent weekend with Ben's side having a family get together for everyone's favorite Jenny. (Ben's cousin) who is a doll! She turned the big 3-0 and Mary and her husband Jason had a fantastic surprise party for her. Abby, Ben, and I didn't get home till after ten last night and had a blast!

My dad, his girlfriend my my grandma are coming by today to see the new place, then later tonight I am having a party for the new True Blood episode tonight. I am even baking cup cakes. (Going all out) It looks to be a very busy day, It was suppose to be an even busier weekend but I backed out of plans to spend time with my mom but that 86ed. My mom is a bit of a flake who is busy. Her and I were suppose to do Abby's new room together but we have been here for over two weeks and nothing so far, so I'll just finish it up since she's so busy. Should be cute, or a mess, eh...I think it looks just fine the way it is.

RAGE!! Dear HIPPO above us, please lose 100 pounds and walk like you aren't dropping bowling balls with each step!! I don't care much for the new neighbors around us, they aren't great like our former ones who all knew us. I guess the bar was  set pretty high with all the wonderful people we lived close too.

Well I think I will work a bit more on my paper...*FML* Just wanted to say hello to the two people who might read this!

Still not sleeping

(From mothers day) Abby and Ben made me a beautiful drawing! I love it!
 (You can also start to see the bags under my eyes!)

Instead of sleeping like I wish I could be I am blogging about my lack of sleep. How ironic is that?

For give me bloggers for I have sinned, it's been one two many days since my last blog I must tell you...I STILL have not had fast food, but I'm only down the 11 pounds still. I'm stuck, although to be honest I've also gotten a little lazy. Time to kick myself in the rear, Abby and I have been going swimming everyday, mostly I hold her and run and spin in the water, very effective. Ben and I move in less then 2 weeks, and There is so much to do, so little time! I have been doing much better on staying ahead of my homework since I quit going out, and I feel much better slowing down. I love seeing everyone but I'm not 21 without a care in the world anymore, I can't keep up with all the awesome people I have in my life. I rather watch Doctor Who, and read, do homework, and spend time with my family.

I really feel un-pretty most days anymore, and I don't know if that is why I've gotten lazy, just a sign of a white flag, giving up on myself. Although I feel like if I slept more I would feel better, start losing weight again and well, the normal drill. I know Ben and other members of our family are worried about me since I have bags under my eyes that would put a baseball players eye black out to shame. (nice sports reference). Something will give, even if it's me. Picking and choosing battles has always been a struggle for me, but my weight has always been a much harder battle, so with a little boost of confidence, (and some sleeping pills?) I should be back to running around like my old self in no time. Right?

Can't stop!

I can't seem to stop watch Doctor Who, and I am proud to be addicted to something so great!!

Now that I got that out of the way! lol

I am down 11 pounds since the last time I've been on here! So I made my 10 pound goal before June 1st

I do have one issues though, I haven't been sleeping well, or well lets be honest, not at all. Not falling asleep until about 3:30-4 a.m. So I have quit going out and I have been trying to fall asleep earlier. I feel very run down and crabby. Hopefully I get over this lack of sleep slump and things get better. I did get told tonight I looked beautiful and that I have lost weight. (I love hearing that)

I have yet to eat fast food and honestly I do not miss it at all! Very exciting!
Ben and I are moving soon and most of the house is packed, slowly but surely laundry will get done, I'm going to clean the kitchen tomorrow so that is one less thing I have to do during the move, I have all these ideas, and thoughts but the lack of motivation from the lack of sleep is wearing me down!!
I hope it gets better soon! Any tips for helping me sleep? I've been trying everything. I am happy to report I did fall asleep at 3 last night! lol

So I cheated...

Well, not 100% intentionally and even though I may be justifying it...

Yesterday my supervisor Davey brought me a cheese burger from burger king. He even special ordered it with the "double-butt-bun", which has two bottom halves instead of a sesame seed top. Since he went out of his way for me and got it out of the kindness of his heart, how could I turn down such generosity?

Well I've felt guilty since, so I thought I would plead my case to the blog. Other than that doing great. Both Blythe and I are down some weight, and I really don't even think of fast food when I'm thinking of options for dinner. I have been cooking a lot of things I've never made before, or trying new preparations of old things. Had some Jamaican Curried Beef with white rice and homemade flat bread last night. Pretty spicy, really delicious.

Tonight: spaghetti with turkey meatballs!

BUSY

Guess who?!

I was lucky enough and crazy enough to get to dress up like T-pup for the Wichita Thunder hockey team and the Link for life event. I woke up at 5 am and helped set up the got into costume at 7:30 and then didn't take it off till after 11am. Talk about a GREAT work out! I have so much respect for the people who are mascots for a living. I was told I did a great job and had a BLAST doing it and have already been asked to do it next year and even might have a chance to do it for the Thunder games in the fall.

I lost 4 pounds today at T-pup so I met my 10 pound goal!! Though I still need to work hard it was fun to see the difference in (WATER) weight.

Now on to some even bigger news! Ben, Abby, and I are moving and have to be in our new apt before the 31st! Such a short amount of time. The best part is the fact our new apt isn't empty!! There is still someone living in it! Wish us luck! I've already started a packing party and I've got a few things done already!
