I was inspired by my friend Kelly to start up a blog of my own to just blabber on about my daily events (not saying you blabber Kelly haha). I am just going to start with the run down of what my life has been like lately. I work 40 hours a week to start. Welcome to working class america haha. I somehow find time to read at least one book a week, follow like 10 tv shows at a time, see at least 2 or 3 movies a week (whether at the theater or at home), spend a lot of time with my beautiful daughter (if you didnt notice her great big picture at the top of the page), spend little time with my husband since we work opposite shifts in an effort to keep Caeley out of daycare, follow my weight watchers diet and avoid temptations of horrible evil foods, and many many other things.
Ill first start off saying I have been on weight watchers for about two months now and have lost a total of 13 lbs so far. Considering my overall goal is to lose 30, I think im doing rather well! I invested in an elliptical machine for my living room and am loving it (when i can force myself to get off my ass and use it). I try to work out at least 3 to 4 nights a week but sometimes do not get to due to laziness or exhaustion. What can I say? I love coming home from work at 7, hanging out with my daughter for an hour before she has to go to bed, and then plopping down on the couch and chatting with my best friend Robynne. Thankfully she reminds me to get off my ass and exercise haha. So hopefully I will lose the other 17 lbs over the next few months and be a sexy mama.
Id like to just say now that I have the most amazingly wonderful daughter. I never wanted kids. When I found out I was pregnant I was terrified. Now I cannot imagine my life without her. She is definitely her mothers daughter and I hope she stays that way. Not in the "i made my moms life a living hell" kinda way, but more like how I am now. I am trying to raise her on a strictly organic diet, its not always easy but I am proud to say its been almost two years and my kid has never had anything fried or fast food (yayyyy Caeley!). The obesity in america really gets to me and its a reason I am trying to get myself to my ideal weight to set a great example for my daughter. She is my life.
Now, if you are reading this and you know me, you know that I am addicted to movies and reading. I will probably take a moment in every blog entry to comment on a book I have read or a movie I have seen. Since the movie I just watched was horrible (i will get to that in a minute, gotta keep you in suspense), I will comment on the book I finished yesterday first. I decided to dig out a classic and read Jane Eyre for the first time. I wont lie, I was definitely motivated by the many movie trailers I have seen for the new movie coming out. I do not know why I waited so long to read this book! I loved it! I won't spoil anything for anyone that has not read it, but I just loved the romance and over all eerie feel to the book. It broke my heart about 100 times when I read it but was over all satisfied in the end. I just went and saw Battle Los Angeles. . . .. I had planned to see Jane Eyre but didnt realize it was only being released in NYC and LA so had to settle for this stupid and disappointing movie. It's not even worth going into it much but ill just say that although I appreciate movies with aliens and action, this one just left me feeling blah. So blah that i left it early and went grocery shopping instead. I NEVER leave a movie early, but since I had used a movie pass I won at work I figured who cares. Ill catch the ending eventually, maybe it is unfair for me to fully judge it since I didnt finish it, but I would recommend catching it on demand or red box or however you may watch your movies.
On that note, I will end this extra long post. I love any of you that are actually taking the time to read this and I love my life.
