I got to noticing the other day that if I “wasted” as much time practicing and playing piano as I do goofing off on the computer, I would be a concert pianist by now!  I guess there is really no point in knowing how to play by note if you just quit learning.

So yeah. I’m getting off the computer and going over to the piano. Just you watch! One day, I will be a famous (and skinny) concert pianist!

“My husband is about to lose his reason. He has given up his art and carries on fruitless chemical experiments. At present he has the obsession to retain images fixed on metal plates. He has sold our possessions to buy chemicals and to build an apparatus”.
Madame Lousie Daguerre- Wife of Louis Daguerre, inventor of the first camera

I just ran across this quote, and I can’t help but laugh!
And here I thought that women being freaked out by their husbands “hair-brained” ideas was a new thing

I personally tend to get a little freaked out at times. My husband wants to start a hard wood floor business once he gets out of the military (which is scary enough in itself!!! It’s a loss of stability!!) Which I’m sure he can without us going bankrupt… Maybe??!! Ah, it’s all so scary!

We women need stability to feel secure!!!!

But…I guess if men didn’t have hair brained ideas and take risks, nothing would ever be invented. This is more than likely the reason that men are usually CEO’s Inventors and great musicians.

It’s also the reason that men tie balloons to their armchair and float away, so I guess that’s why God made females, to keep them grounded.

Just my thought for the day!

I want to post pictures as boosters and maybe add them to my blog, but what kind of code do I need? My options are Myspace comment code, Xanga comment code, Yahoo mash code, Myeeos comment code, BB forum image code and scrolling image code! Which actually works? I’m so confused!

Thanks!

The more weight I lose, the more I feel like a Rockstar! It’s such a great feeling being able to look into the mirror and not see as much chubbiness in my face! I still have far to go, but this winter weight is GONE and it’s going to STAY gone! Getting dressed is a lot more fun now too!

The weather is pretty nasty hear today, they radio keeps on making that beepy noise for the National Weather Advisory. Apparently, it’s flooding out there pretty bad! I need to go to Curves, but I don’t know what the highway is like… It runs right alongside the Androscroggin River and they say that the rivers are over their banks. I wonder if Curves is even open… hmmm…

Wayell, I’d better get busy. Much work to do!

I guess today was ok.

Since I’m  supposed to be a stay at home wife, my husband expects things to be perfect. I see where he’s coming from, but I’m human, I make mistakes… and I might misplace his uniform if he happens to leave it in the wrong place.

I guess I did,

This morning was kind of miserable. I woke up, made coffee, made breakfast, but his utilities pants were missing! Massive chaos ensued.

We never found them,

Good news is that through all the mess in the morning is that I found the time to go to Curves, and I PUSHED myself!

So yeah. The day is not totally lost.

Oh, I forgot to mention…

My fat pants from Florida have been falling down all day!  That makes me happy!

He just had to stop at Tim Hortons this morning on the way to church and got 1 blueberry muffin, 1 blueberry fritter and a maple donut. He consumed all of the food but half of the blueberry fritter. And just left it sitting there…. I just can’t let good food go to waste! It was yummy, but I feel guilty now.

I love how lingzhi makes my diet plan work so much faster and better, but I feel like crap this morning. I barely have the energy to go up the stairs. It tends to dehydrate you no matter how much water you drink.  You have to balance it out with electrolytes… and I need electrolytes badly now!

I  was going to get some gatorade the other day, but the Navy Exchange doesn’t have it, or anything comparable :-(  Guess I need to go to a gas station

Or… now, I might have to get my husband to go to a gas station.  I have no energy to move… Blah…

I know that this blog isn’t about weight loss… but I have to get this out of my system. I can’t blog about this anywhere else, because I don’t want friends and family (other than my parents and sister) to know yet.

But, the main reason that I am trying extra hard to make a healthy lifestyle change is because my husband and I are trying to conceive. We’ve been trying for two months, and I just read today on my cousin’s blog that she’s pregnant by accident! She’s happy, and I’m happy for her, I really really am… I just want to have a baby so badly, it’s depressing and I feel more than a little bit jealous.  I know that some people have to try for years before conceiving so I really shouldn’t complain, but everytime I hit “that time of the month” it gets more and more depressing!

I think that I might be broke. Maybe I can’t have kids! We’ve been married for two years and I was on the pill the whole time, but I skipped up to  3 days at once! I know lots of people have gotten pregnant while ON the pill!  I would like to go to the Doctor or a fertility specialist and talk with them about it. Maybe they can fix whatever is wrong with me, if there is something… but I don’t know if Tricare would cover it at this stage. I’ve never been a very patient person I guess, but I just want to know if I’m alright.

I am fitting back into my clothes now! My eating is under control, I feel mostly great. I just really really do not want to go to Curves today. I know I should… but…. this couch is so comfy… argh.

My husband and I just got bicycles the other day in an attempt to lose all of the weight we gained eating Mickey D’s in a hotel room in FL. While he was in training for two  months.  Craigslist is definitely the way to go! We got both of them for $150 and mine is decent, but his is REALLY nice.

The South Beach Diet is going good for both of us… but we wanted something extra.  Since the base is only 6.5 miles away, he is going to ride the bike to and from work. Lucky him, there is a bike path along the way that goes along side the Androscroggin River. It’s really pretty too! He made the drive home yesterday in 20 minutes!! And that was the uphill way! I totally could not do that though. I have been trying to drive around the circle road that we live on. I can make it TWICE and it isn’t even a mile. Maybe I’m not pushing myself hard enough, but seriously, my heart rate goes through the ROOF  (180 beats per minute)! Yeah, and that’s not safe at all.

So I will not be riding with him for a while unfortunately.

I’ve been trying to wear my tennis shoes in the house so I can run outside and take the loop twice, come back in, do some chores, and go out again. I guess my endurance will eventually build.

I have broken down and am taking diet pills too though. I really want to see this weight go. They’re chinese diet pills called “two day diet”. I lost quite a bit of weight last summer with them, but also got really sick because they dehydrate you. So… I will try to have a bit of pedia lite now and then.

I just really really want to fit into last summers clothes by next month and see more progress on my curves weigh-in.
