My ABSOLUTE #1 Goal for RIGHT NOW.....is that I need to get my punk self back into gear and get working out and paying attention to what I eat again!!!
I'm still working on my Goal list that I had periviously....
#4 is to reach my pre-pregnancy weight of 135
#5 is "healthy" BMI weight of 125
#6 is to go to Miss Indigo Blue's Academy of Burlesque
This is a new one for me. The reason I would like to do this is because I have dealt with self hate for a very long time. Not only hate of my body, which I reall think this will help with....but SELF HATE. A lot of people deal with this....most hide it behind thinking they just need to lose weight and they think they will be 'happy'.....but I know this the hard why, at least for me....mine is self hate.....I won't go into too much detail in this post....maybe another time.....
So overall, I am hoping that this school will show me that I can love myself for who I am....body and all.
I'm going to be really thinking of some other goals to try and get me more motivated.....I really want to start the 30Day Shred again....I can tell that my muscle isn't as tone as it was a few months ago.....I can't believe it's BEEN a few months already!!!

{New Years Eve 2009}
Normally we all don't do much for New Years Eve.....this year really wasn't too much different...lol...we just got to do it all together! :-D Besides when we were kiddos our selves I think this was the first New Years that My Seester and I have spent together as adults.
We hung out and ate some chips and dip....watch the guys play with the HDMI cables on the tv & ps3 *rolls eyes* lol watched a couple movies, ate some pizza.....and basically just enjoyed each other's company. :-D
CAN'T FORGET THE KISSES AT MIDNIGHT!!!
Jon & Jeanette
Tommy & Monique
*PS-Yes I do know it's kinda weird how the pics look very similar!! LOL :-P

{Sisters on Mt. Rainier}
Here's us with our Hubbies; up in the mountain!
We took the kiddos with our Mom up to Mt. Rainer to play in the snow. We all had a very cold BLAST playing in the snow and watching the kiddos play in the snow. lol
It was great getting out all together for some family time.

{Christmas Church Program}
Okay! So I'm KINDA freeking out a 'LITTLE' bit here!!!
UMMMM YAH......so I'm playing my flute in the Christmas program at church today......and to be honest.....I have put practicing on the back burner of everything (also to be honest this is very typical of me with my flute playing).......so now here I am the morning of the program.....and I'm getting ready to practice with the online version so that I can get one more practice in. I don't have too much problem with the music it's self......it's playing with the choir.....I've never played with a choir before, and I've never had to follow a choir director before.....I've always followed a bass player or a band director.....BIG DIFFERENCE!
So now I'm off to get this done!!! :-D
Wish me LUCK!!! :-D

{Nap time??}
Morning Weight: 136 (Yes, I was just as suprised as you are!!!)
Today's Activities:
So I was thinking the other day......one more day that I was just TOO TIRED to get up early AGAIN......not only did I NOT get up.....that also means that was one more day that I didn't work out! UGH! I'm still not GAINING.....thankfully!!! BUT....I can see where my muscle isn't as tone already.....and I'm really not liking that!!! So that's a real kicker! Well, I remembered something......and this is something that was a really big deal when I started doing the 30Day Shred......shhhh.....I started doing it during Little Mr's nap time!!!! I mean seriously!!! DUH! OF COURSE I DID!!!!! When else do I have time to do something like workout?!?!?! Or have any type of energy to do it? I certainly don't have the energy to wake up early......or to do it in the evening.....besides I don't like to get all 'hyped' up before I go to bed either. And then I started getting more energy.....and I had DR appts and I had to get up earlier to workout before my appt because I wouldn't have time during naptime to do it.....and so then my habit of getting up early & workout began.......and I ended up loving it! And OH HOW I MISS IT!!!!!
So.....sooon.....I'm going to try thinking about working out while Little Mr is taking his nap......and see how much it appeals to me......I'm hoping that I'll be able to kick my be-hind into it's gear here really soon. I may have been pleasently suprized when I stepped onto that scale this morning, but that doesn't changed that I'd like some more muscles!!! :-D
*With everything going on with/for Christmas it's hard to have the energy to workout or to make good food choices.......and to stay away from all the goodies that I'm making for the kiddos and to give away. :-D

Today's Activities:
- Brought the kids to the Primary Activity at the church- Breakfast with Santa (who was not actually there & I got in trouble for that! lol)
- Ran to Wal-Mart to get a lightbulb for the liscense plate because The Mr has a POV inspection
- More Christmas crafts that I'm still trying to get done
- Making Coconut BonBons & more EggNog Truffles
- Practice flute part for the church Christmas program

Morning Weight: 138
Today's Activities: Stil Cleanin.....
*Beware This Will Probably End Up A LONG Entry...*
SOOOOOO.....If anyone actually READS this blog or any of my blogs they have probably noticed that I have been MIA for a while now......not only have things been quite stressful in my life, but I've been pretty much an emotional wreck. So I won't go into too too much with all the details but I really need to get some of all of this out and I figured that this would just be the best way to get it out, and to start fresh.....if that is even possible.
I feel as though my life has been turned upside down lately and that I'm back at square one with my emotions. And that includes the way I take care of myself.....the way I eat, working out, crafting, cleaning my house, keeping up with my blogs, keeping up with the blogs I like to read, even keeping up with the tv shows I like to watch or watching movies, even keeping in touch with friends and loved ones, even cooking and baking....and the biggest one that really bothers me is spending time with my kids. :-S These are really REALLY starting to bother me......and very greatful that I've finally even noticed that this has been happening......and THAT is a great START. Unfortunately isn't only a START.....because I still don't even have the motivation to do alot of these things. Sometimes my brains starts spinning with ideas that I would like to do while I'm laying in bed before I get up, or while I'm sitting on the couch....and then I get up to start it, but I always feel like I have to 'clean the counter off first' or 'pick up the craft room before I can start that' for some reason....and then by the time I get those things done I don't have the energy to do it anymore.
And the kiddos......it's the same thing.....I WANT to do things with them.....and I'm in the same rut.....I plan something....but I 'want the livingroom picked up first' or 'the kitchen needs to be cleaned' or 'the toy room' you get the idea....and they always stress me out about all of it and then I just don't have the energy to keep going to get to the 'fun' part of all of it!!!
*Well, I drafted this to come back to it, but of course I never had the time....and then like usual I lost my train of thought. lol So I'm going to just end it and I'll to another blog another time.....
