So wow - I have to say, this is really strange just typing in the middle of the page. No box, no... well, no nothing! I'm not sure if is really supposed to look like this or what, but anyway - enough of that.
Brecken is officially on spring break - for 3 days, haha. They have today off, and that is it. A 3-day weekend for "spring break." But the best part is that it is finally, FINALLY warm outside! We spent the afternoon outside yesterday - it's great, but it's also a pain in the ass, because the snow is melting and everything is brown slushy mud and it's so gross. The kids were soaked head to toe when we came in last night. But I am loving having the windows open for awhile in the afternoon and letting the stale winter smells out of the house, and let fresh spring air in.
I have the whole weekend off, too, so that is even better. Some friends of mine from Spearfish were supposed to come stay with us, so I took Sunday off from work, but something came up and they can't make it now. The kids and I are going to go get some groceries today, and when we get back home I'm going to pull the bikes down from where they've been hanging in the garage all winter and let them wear themselves out outside. I want to go on a really long walk today too - we've been stuck in the house forever! AND, it's supposed to snow tomorrow again, and next week a couple days, so we better get outside while we can.
The hint of warmer weather has motivated me more to get off my ass, exercise, and get back to 100% clean eating. So far I've lost about 12 pounds, which isn't much and that's totally because I haven't stayed committed. Work the past month has completely sucked too - there were nights I had to stay after anywhere from 1-3 hours past the end of my shift because the calls are SO crazy and there is so much work to do. By the time I finish work, I am so burnt out and not in the mood to cook anything that requires effort. But I have a huge motivator to get back to it, because I have to wear a bridesmaid dress on May 31 and I'm not interested in looking like I did when we bought the dresses on the actual wedding day. I have 11 weeks until the wedding, and I want to lose 20 more pounds before then. It might not happen, but I want to get as damn close as possible. From there, I want to lose about 40 more pounds to reach my ultimate goal. It would be amazing if by the end of August I made my goal - but the only way any of that shit is going to happen is if I commit to it. So today's grocery run will be stocking up on healthy staples and also snacks. My biggest issue is not being prepared, and then eating shit because I'm so hungry I don't care what it is because I'm starving.
Fuck. Do you know how sick I am of writing about this? And thinking about it? And half-assing it and never sticking to anything? Probably about as sick of it as you are sick of reading about it.
The kids are awake and the sun is shining - time to get shit done.
