We finally have our pool open. Not quite ready to swim in yet but we are getting there. I wish I was bikini ready now but it is a work in progress. Still having some struggles but am getting a bit better. I think what will help a lot is if I focus on doing housework. My house is such a disaster and I need to become better at keeping it clean and organized. Like I have said before I want to be prepared if people just stop by for a visit. I would love to go on a big purge but I really feel like we would need a garbage bin to achieve that. I think I need to come up with a plan which would be to clean from top to bottom the day before going to work and then again when I finish my set (instead of sleeping all day get up at noon and clean the whole house again). I am sure that if I did this I wouldn't feel so overwhelmed when it come to cleaning the house.
I have done 3 workouts at Jills so far this week and will hopefully be able to do 2 more (depending on how I feel after the concert tomorrow night). I LOVE strength training and I really want to get back into running. I am making monday my start date for that goal. I will take it slow knowing that I will build up my mileage.
Well I should get going and do some more work around the house. I think I will work on decluttering the kitchen right now. I hate how much stuff I have on the counters and need to really work on that.
Have a great weekend.

I'm done....
This is just going to be a post of me being done making excuses and what I am going to do about it...
I am done having a dirty house...daily and weekly cleans will be happening. I want my house to be in a state that if someone stops by for a surprise visit that I don't have to stress about it being a mess. I also want the boys to feel like they live in a clean house
I am done thinking about losing weight and will do something about it. this will involve eating clean and daily exercise (minus today as today's focus will be on organization of things I want to change)
I am done staying up late and not having the energy to get up and do the early morning workouts like I enjoy doing. I want to get out early before too many people are on the streets and get my running restarted. I am done making excuses not to go to Jills too. I always feel amazing after so why not do this as often as I want.
I am done wasting money. daily trips to the grocery store and eating out are such a waste of money.
I am done living out of laundry baskets. When I do laundry I want to make sure putting it away is part of the routine.
I am done not taking my puppy for a walk. Between us all we need to get out daily if not 2x/day to walk her. poor little girl being cooped up in the house.
Make grocery lists and meal plans to limit trips to the grocery store and to have healthier food options for my family
I want to have a happier and healthier family and I know if I take the lead it will be easier for my family to follow suit. We will do this and time is going way to fast and I am done watching opportunities for us going by.

May 1st
It has been almost a year that I have been eating anything and everything that I want. Am I happy with this choice....no I am not. I have been feeling miserable and since this is the beginning of a new month I am making the choice to start eating clean. I am going to try and exercise daily too. This is when I am happiest and I want to be happy and feel good about myself. I want to be able to run again and not feel so out of shape. I want to continue building up my strength, love my bootcamp classes.
One thing I need to keep telling myself is that this will take time and a lot of patience. I can't expect results right away. I just need to take it one day at a time and eventually it will pay off (like 6 months from now when I am on a beach in Jamaica).
I have a few things in mind to make for my meals this week so today and tomorrow I will be cooking away so that I have things that I can grab quickly. I know that this works for me so I will start prepping meals 1 or 2 days/week so that I have easy access to healthy food choices. For this week I will be having my sausage, rice, peppers and salsa, clean sloppy joe's and a clean chicken tortillas soup. I will make the granola from the cleanse which I will have with yogurt and fruit and when I am home for breakfast I will have my protein smoothies from the cleanse.
Tomorrow I will be exercising 2x. run/walk 3K and then a bootcamp class. I am meeting friends for lunch so I need to make the healthiest choice I can and not beat myself up for not eating "clean". I think I am so hard on myself that when I eat out I just fall apart. I need to stop doing this.
I am going to do this. I want to reach a healthy weight and I also want to have a healthy lifestyle. I think all around I will feel like a better person which is what I want for me and my family!!
