7 hours of mom-glory! I want to go there, too. My favorite part would be: "I started the day by going back to sleep". I wanna do that, too. hahaha! Sorry you were sick but your sure did make the best of it. Hot granola sounds wonderful. Never ever tried it that way. Keep making good choices this weekend, Laura! Will you bust out a few mountain climbers, maybe??? ;)

Can't wait to hear more about Cleveland. And what a super-awesome eyeball story about Bryan.

2012-01-21T07:08:08.580-05:00

Yup, they are, but indulging like this once a week will keep me at the same weight forever. Oh well, we just do our best.

I can't believe I compared the art of ballet to Zumba in this post. My only excuse is I was very tired that evening.

Thanks, Josie. That means a lot. I have to remind myself every day... :)

biscuits and gravies and fried potatoes are waaay too important for all that ballerina stuff. I know my place, just like you.

(you're a good writer, BTW. did you know that???)

2012-01-19T10:27:18.345-05:00

woo-haa! Look at that sheet! More proof that you're a bad ass. As for that one lazy day, you were entitled to it, considering how many times you signed in, girl! And hats off to your Dad. It even takes a lot of discipline to so simple stuff like log in everyday like he has.

2012-01-19T10:23:29.249-05:00

It's so refreshing to read this. Not only because of how you feel, but also because it's really touched me as a reminder of these very same things for myself --touch me straight to the heart. Our Lord is a God of freedom, not burdens.

2012-01-17T12:43:56.229-05:00

yow-zer! That's alotta home busy-ness. I wish to be a stay at home mom, which is actually something that might happen in the next few years. But I'm totally still keeping a sitter on standby anyhow. LOL!

2012-01-17T10:08:12.825-05:00

I totally feel ya on that weekend stuff. This past weekend I did anniversary stuff. And it involved a happy food fest for sure. Oh well! Back on track today. hehehe

2012-01-13T14:47:06.098-05:00

She's a whiskey gal! Oh my gosh, I love it! Err, meaning, I've never drank whiskey but I think it's bad ass that you do. I'm a whiskey wuss.

2012-01-11T22:19:51.019-05:00

Laura! your food log for today is impressive. Way to rock it out. Consider yourself no longer on the cusp. I can tell from the tone of your post that you really want this bad, and it's not only possible, it's going to happen for you! More to chat in email. Be encouraged, girlfriend! xo

2012-01-11T02:10:18.124-05:00

well said! I get so frustrated with new diet trends that come about and the rediculous reasoning behind them.

Articles state that we should follow what the cave men/women ate for a healthier life. One article states how they had a leaner more muscular build then we do today, also cancer and heart disease were non existant. When people read this their first reaction is Wow! that totaly makes sence. What people should realize is,
1 - The grains and carbs we intake have incredible mind fuel which has helped evolve us to become more intelegant than our prehistoric ancestors.

2 - Of course heart disease and cancer didn't exist back then and neither did pesticides, preservatives, cars, factories and the thousand other reasons for pollution. People didn't smoke, drink or take other drugs as we do now including prescription, radiation was'nt anywhere near as of predominate as it is today

3 - The reason why people were leaner and more muscular then than the majority of the people today is simplicity and laziness. We don't hunt and gather anymore instead most of society sits on their behinds for most of the day trying to wish away belly fat and reading about nonsence diet trends.

The fact of the caveman diet is that it's not a good choice for a healthy way of life unless you want to be as dumb as a caveman.

2011-09-27T10:28:30.352-04:00

What I rocked out today:
1. decided that my "bad day" mentality was just a state of mind, and I could change it
2. had a great, honest conversation with my sister
3. registered for a 5k that I was remiss to register for
4. told my kids and husband that I love them
5. decided to run (well, actually "move")3 miles, no matter what
6. ate a great breakfast, and had a great poop
7. took charge of my workday

2011-09-07T15:54:02.316-04:00

I know you've dubbed me an inspirer here, but I'm also inspired by just reading this all here. I'm going to pay extra attention to the sparks in my life as well. Like earlier, for instance, my brain suggested that I do a few sets of mountain climbers after work. And now I'm determined to NOT ignore that spark. I'll get to it! Happy butt-scooting to the gym, Laura. =)

That chart really puts it all into perspective! Anything sticking through that you deem worthwhile always has its ups and downs. It's the sticking in it, is when you're rewarded. way to go!

So beautiful! That's what I call living in the moment - and you recorded the moment as well. Kudos. Ma

2011-06-22T19:06:27.685-04:00

Glad you shared this story Laura. I know that feeling well. But, your positive attitude is right on, and I'm proud of you!

Ps...I've chosen to not smoke yet today, and it's 7 PM! I decided last week that on the Summer Solstice (being it a time to 'let go' of things in life) I would let go of my smoking habit.
I will still smoke, but only when I want to, not when the clock tells me it's the time I usually do. Not when I'm bored. Not when my kids want to play with me.
I plan to do so only at night, when they're in bed, with a glass of wine.
:) Tis working so far. Makes me feel like a winner, when I am not a slave to that old routine.
