Uuuugggghhh... I'm getting fatter.. moving on

OK, excuse time.... it's been really, really, really cold here recently, (I can't walk outside with the kids, because their little noses and fingers get frozen off) and prior to the beginning of January when it went way below 45 degrees, I was on such a roll exercising my tail off. I'd gone from a whopping 252lbs on August 15th 06, to 185lbs. Since the middle of January, I've not lost anything, and some day's I've bounced up as high as 187lbs.

I can't just blame the cold though - I have a gym membership, where I used to go to spinning classes 4 - 5 times a week. Haven't done that either. In fact this past Sunday was the first time I'd been in all of February. I also used to workout in the house, running the stairs, doing abs, lifting weights and lots more, and I've just stopped cold turkey. What's up with that? I feel like I might be slipping into a funk of some sort, and boy do I hate the winter & especially snow! Baaa Hum bug!

I also was really good about reading everything on sparkpeople.com and picking up healthy magazines, which I'd then clip and put into a journal of sorts - more inspirational, and how to kinda things.... and I really enjoyed doing it, but... I've not that in EONS either. I've also been meaning to put together a home journal, where I keep all of our important info, but even though I have all the materials sitting, I've not gone and typed up the forms I've needed.

In fact it seems that whatever spare time I actually have now, I've been hunkered down with my laptop, taking part in stupid gossip with rivaling moms groups! LOL, it seems to stupid, (not to mention high schoolish) and believe me, yesterday morning I had a lightbulb moment. I'm not benefiting in any way by being part of the whole "take down DCMM". I'm also sick and tired of reading all the cattiness & crap that's now on the "new" rivals MDCM yahoo group. In fact all of the negative energy has worked it's way into me in the form of a flu or cold virus thingy.

I actually can't believe how much time I invested in being angry, and I want to stop it now. I actually have a group of moms, who enjoy socializing, and appear to be drama free for the most part. My involvement only has to be a few minutes per day while I check the calendar, and see if me and my kids are off to meet them to do something fun, or to check when the next moms night out will be coming up. I don't need to spend ooodles of time, but... while my kids are sleeping, I can get in a quick workout, and then get back on track with my work outs at the gym. At least until the cold weather clears up and we can then hit the local trails with our new double jogging stroller!!

I have got to get off this chair & get my ass moving!! OK, I'm off to practice some fly lady -- making my bed, which I've been in since Tuesday night!!
