Well, from a pretty good week to a not so good week. VBS this week made for a long crazy week. Then when you add two anxiety attacks, the revelation that those attacks may be caused by my beloved mocha addiction, a grouchy teething toddler, a traumatic trip to the dentist for My Angel, and a Hubby who's been hobbling through back pain bad enough for the man who hates doctors to ask for an appointment...
Needless to say I haven't gotten any real exercise, nor have I been eating very well.
Another exciting twist? My niece who was due July 10th made a surprise appearance! A full month early but weighing 6.14lbs she has been in NICU for 2 days so far, but is doing pretty well. She's a fighter.
Next week My Angel will be going to VBX from 9-2, so maybe I'll get a chance to relax...

A Pretty Good Week
Well, I think I've had a pretty good week. I've done some kind of fitness activity every week day. i even had one super good day - I got up on time, did my bible study, and yoga, and cooked a good breakfast for my family, and cleaned my house, and went out and played tennis with the whole family!
I made another cake today, a graduation cake for one of my Stepping Stones girls. I can't believe they are growing up so fast! Congratulations Taylor, you are going to be an amazing young woman! I'll post a pic later.
Feeling kinda bummed tonight. Not sure why. I guess just tired. And maybe because I didn't get any exercise in today. Hopefully I will get up and at least do some yoga tomorrow. I might get to go swimming too!

My Work
Thought I'd share some of the cakes I've done the past two months :)
First was my Papa's 80th Birthday Party
Some Wedding Shower cakes for my cousin (two separate showers)
And finally, my cousin's wedding cake!

Relaxation
Ah...... I finally made it to that point. The wedding is over, I feel like I can relax now. I kind of feel like I have turned a corner. I've been working really hard on cakes the past two months. And they all turned out really well. I may even have some non-friend paying customers soon! What is this strange feeling? Oh, wait, it's confidence!! I haven't felt like this in a long time.
On the exercise front, I tried Zumba last night. Not in front of anyone of course, Andy bought me a wii Zumba! I tried to learn a few steps, but the instruction is basically non-existent, so I just jumped into a workout. I lasted through the warm-up. But I got moving! I'm hoping to find time to try again tonight. If not I'll definitely have to get up in the morning. It is pretty fun.
And I've also started a special little bit of self care. I'm really excited about doing something I've always wanted to do! But still really nervous about actually telling anyone. So for now, all I'll say is I am expressing myself creatively, and it feels great! Someday, I may be able to share it with the world at large, and make money at it. But for now it just makes me really happy!

Oddness
Can I just say I feel really odd. For several months now I just feel odd. Almost like, I'm waiting for something. Like, I just need to hold on until this point, but I don't know where that point is? It's crazy.
Anyway, I'm ready to set new goals for this week. I plan to work out 5 times. Of course one of those workouts should have been this morning, but the power was out. I'm hoping to get it in tonight. If not, then Saturday. I also plan to spend 2.5 hours reading. Yes, reading. These goals are not just about physical health, but emotional health too. And finally I plan to have 5 30-minute (or more) Quiet Times. Yep, spiritual health too :)
This week is going to be pretty stressful, Papa's 80th Birthday Party is this weekend, and one Grandmother is still in the hospital. So I may have to post a "vent" or "rant" at some point, just for my sanity's sake, LOL!

So... it's been quite a while since I posted. I've been really struggling with some emotional junk that has kept me in a funk. But I've finally gotten back into the groove of working out, so hopefully I can keep it up for a while. I'm still not sure how much or how often I want to post, I guess I'll just figure it out as I go.
On a side note, I'm worried my wii may be acting up. I've been using it to weigh myself. I got on it Tuesday morning for the first time in a couple months, and of course I'd gained 10 pounds. Then Wednesday morning I'd lost 2 pounds, after going on a date Tuesday night and pigging out on chinese food and ice cream. Then Thursday morning I'd lost 2 more pounds after pigging out on mexican food for lunch and stuffing myself with pork chops for dinner. And Friday morning I'd gained 2 pounds after (I though) doing a pretty good job of controlling my diet. Something is not right here...

February 10, 2011
Wow. I need more hours in a day. I just realized I haven't posted in almost two weeks. Things have been kinda crazy here. Nasty ice and snow storm kept us in for about a week, then there was Super Bowl Weekend, then more ice and snow, and in between it all trying to visit and help take care of ailing grandmothers while helping the healthy grandmother plan an 80th birthday party for grandfather. Whew.
As far as goals last week, I only got in two full workouts. And so far this week, only one. But with all that has been going on, I guess I can't be too mad at myself. The rest of the week is going to be pretty crazy too, so I'll wait til Sunday for new goals.
