Hello Again!

And just like that I’m 45!  

Picking up some blogging for some journaling. Let this new phase in my life bring joy, love, and adventure.  Sharing the journey. 

Stress Eating... Great!

I will blame it all on the move. I just can't help myself. What's wrong with me. Okay now that I got that off my chest. I need to get down to the bottom of why I can't stop eating crappy food. Its really stupid. Even when I have a choice I pick the crappy food. Do you want salad or the corn dog? No brainer right. I went for the stupid corn dog. On top of that it came from the school cafeteria. YIKES! So here's the rest of my daily food choices: -no breakfast -cup of coffee - ? 8oz of water -king kit-kat (due to scorpion in classroom... stress eating) -Stupid corn dog - Roast beef and rice - two toast with butter and strawberry jelly Yep... Not a health day. Goal for tomorrow: -Breakfast (oatmeal) - Lunch (salad) - Dinner (?) That just doesn't sound like enough food. Why is my belly so freaking hungry all the time?

Happy Day!

I lost 2pounds yay!  So happy. 

Fun Times at mommy's classroom

My kids helped me this weekend pack my classroom. They got board and drew on the board. 

Packing Up

Took sometime today to pack up my classroom. Feels like I didn't make a dent in what needs to be packed. But managed to rid myself of a few things. 

Not So Good Today

UPDATE..... Nine years Later! (7/19/23)

OMG! I am so dumb. LOL! I do remember this day. OH to be back at 117. I am currently 135 at 45 going through menopause and can run a mile under 12min. 

WHAT I learned: Love yourself NOW! This day is the best version of YOU.

Weight this morning 117.  Yep, apparently too much salty food. But it was so good. Had friends over this weekend. I couldn't pass up good homemade Mexican food for lunch and excellent Thai food dinner.  

This morning run ended up being a lunch run with major heartburn. So I had to walk most of it. SUCKS!  Burned 307 calories in a 3 mile run/walk in 47min. 

Great Start this Morning

Here are the morning stats. 

Distance:3.25miles

Calories Burn: 322

Time: 44:41

Speed: 5 

Weight:116.4lb 

Height: 4.11

Not too bad. But being short means I can't go over 116.  So my goal is lose 10lb.  I did it before... I can do it again. 

Get your workout DONE!

I'm getting back into my workout routine. Need some motivation! Day one, starting off good. The winter totally kicked my butt. Last thing I did was a half marathon with my sister and then I just stopped running. Time to get back on it.

Happy 2012!

I'm so excited about the New Year. I started 2012 with a wonderful jog around the neighborhood lake. It was a bit windy but I didn't want to give in to the lazyiness. It was very peacful.

I'm not going to set some crazy resolutions. I just want to be happy and be the best I can be.

Off to Bed!

Time to update!

I really can't believe its been a year. My kids have grown SO much. No worries I plan on getting my butt in gear. BRING ON THE PICTURES.

My kids are growing too fast.

Water Ballon Wars

It begins with two crazy kids, and a really crazy dad.



Two dogs with a concern look. Ok.. Ok... one dog is aware of a developing situation. The other dog... well... not so much.



Getting ready...





War!!

Daddy..

My husband went to Houston for my Brother's Bachelor party. Of course I give him the talk of "have fun.... but don't be stupid... and take care of my brother."

So, before he took off... Ben cleaned the house up, did all the laundry, and had a nice gift basket and flowers set up for the kids and I. It was a really nice surprise for us.

Princesses and Pirates

Easter Fun!

I really need catch up on everything...

First on the list... I am now selling Mary Kay. More details on that later. For right now I'm just getting started.


Second... Team building fun with daddy's work buddies.
Ben took us out to Austin Park and Pizza. The kids loved it.

Ben bought the cake.

Day 7 of Spring Break

San Marcos Outlet Stores

Second day going. This day was different because we bought a huge tent. Get ready Bedwell family we're going camping.





I also bought a cute pair of flip-flops.

Day 6 of Spring Break

San Marcos: The Children's Park & The River

Great place to go and let the kids run crazy. Especially before you hit the Outlet Stores.


Picture not included..... I had to jump in the river to save my sister's shoe. At least it wasn't a kid.





Name that plant...
