Back to school today was painful. Brutally painful. For all of us.
Early mornings again. Clothes having to somewhat coordinate…or at least fit. Homework. Lunches.
Brutal, I tell you.
And another near brutal experience?
Trying on bathing suits on New Year’s Day.
What was I thinking?
I had ordered some on sale. They arrived a couple months ago and have been in a box in our bedroom ever since.
And, new year means some straightening up. Shamefully, it took my husband saying, “Can you do something about this box?” to motivate me enough to put those things actually on my 2012 body.
an experience which motivated me to start using this
(yes, this new iPad owner is a bit overly Appley right now)
And, in case you were wondering, you don’t stand on your iPad. Not even the best case would make that a good idea.
I stand on this
smack dab in the corner of my dining room.
Amidst the dust bunnies, the random fish from a board game, and gumball machine bouncy balls that seem to have some sort of support group underneath my side buffet.
And, when I stand on it, the weight (which will remain a mystery) goes to my iPad and gets charted. I’d really like that chart to show some sort of decline rather than a straight line graph…or (gasp) an inclined line.
This may be just what this Type-A crazy lady needs to motivate me to lose a few…or about 10…but I’m not thinking about numbers at all. Because I’m not overthinking it at all. Nope, not me. Not at all.
You’re funny! But bathing suits in January….WHAT were you thinking??? Seriously though…you look GREAT just the way you are :)
This is totally unrelated to your New Year’s post, but found your blog linked through the comment you left on today’s WAGI post. Just wanted to hop through cyber-world to say thank you for your work on that blog, it truly is a blessing to so many adopted and prospective adoptive parents like myself. May God bless you richly in this New Year! Thank you!!!
You not only crack me up (bouncy ball support group!), but you look great! I do believe I have seen you in a swimsuit, so I can say, in all honesty, you look great. :)
That scale though….now that’s pretty neat. I can’t have one though or I would obsess. Nope, I am sticking with the as-long-as-my-pants-fit-I’m-good way of weighing in. Now…where are those oreos?
Amen and amen! UGH to the start of school again. We got back from California on Friday and I had to go back on MONDAY! Jet lag has totally knocked me off my keester! And Emma’s too! I didn’t have this much trouble when we returned from China! Full swing school, though…UGH! Guess I will go toss and turn now until I fall asleep…
Good luck with the weight loss. I have joined you in that plight…”My fitness pal” is my latest app to help with that process.
Blessings, friend!
Oh goodness LOL:) Me and my scale, we have a love hate relationship:) Swimsuits, I just hope that Nutrisystem I ordered will work enough for me to be comfortable in a one piece without the sarong(sp?) :)
