HCG Diet Update, Bible in 90 Days, School Rooms etc!

I know it's been a while since I posted (as usual). As always life is crazy.  When I started my HCG Diet I was visiting my parents in MO.  My visits there are alot like vacation for me because I get to eat a lot of things that only my mother can make the right way :o)  Like potato salad and chicken and noodles.  I really shouldn't have started the HCG while I was there.  So after a few days I decided to stop and wait until I came home. Well I came home week before last. I've not mentioned it much on my blog but I really want to run...like marathons...like really long distances.  I got home and the next day I got an email Fleet Feet that they were starting a couch to 5K program THE NEXT DAY.  Have I mentioned how much I really want to run?  So I decided to jump in and do the couch to 5K with the Nashville Fleet Feet group.  So HCG is on hold right now while I train to kill myself run a 5K. A 5K is a little bit over 3 miles for the folks who might not know.  I can barely run for 1 minute straight right now.  This should be fun!!  So I'll see how much weight I lose training and see whether I need to do HCG after that or not.

I started the Bible in 90 Days today too.  If you would like to join in on reading the Bible in 90 days check out the specifics at Moms Toolbox.  For the most part I'll be using my Iphone's You Version app to read every day. If you are reading the Bible in 90 Days and you have an Iphone or Android phone check out the FREE app for reading the Bible.

Lots of things going on around my house right now too.  We are moving all but 1 bedroom to make room for a school room in our downstairs area.  I've tried to do school down there before but it's mostly underground so it's dark and moldy fragrant.  I started thinking about painting and making it all fun and inspiring.  My awesome husband just rolled his eyes but thinks it's a great idea. So I'm in the process of cleaning one room at a time as I get them ready to move around.  This will be a lot of work but well worth it in the end.  I'll post pictures because I FOUND MY DIGITAL CAMERA!!  Yay!! Now if I could just find the plug that charges the battery so I can use the camera I'll be doing great.  EDITED to add: I found the plug for the battery charger of my digital camera!!  See!  That's why happens when you clean a room from top to bottom (insert rolling eyes here).

Always chaos but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!

Now off to bed so I can get up at 6 a.m. and run...with Joshua....that's my favorite part of training.  He's training to run the 5K with me.

My last lazy OOH-RAH

I know you might be saying "Did she say OOH-RAH?  What is a OOH-RAH anyway?" so I'll first define OOH-RAH for you.  OOH-RAH is commonly heard within the military most notably said by the Marines.  It is their war cry.  OOH-RAH is conceived in sweat, nurtured in drill.  It is raw determination and gut-wrenching courage in the face of adversity.  It cannot be administered.  It is not planned and put into action.  It cannot be manufactured.  OOH-RAH must be purchased.

Today has turned out to be my last lazy OOH-RAH.  It was not planned and put into action.  I did purchase it at the tune of $20.  I simply got up today still not liking my weight or the way I look in the mirror as I've done for far too many mornings to date.  Without thought I ate ice cream for breakfast within an hour of waking up.  Then for lunch I had a mushroom and swiss burger with deep friend curly fries and a large cherry coke for lunch.  Oh I also had 2 hand breaded (with white flour I'm sure) chicken strips with honey mustard sauce.  Then I decided to check up on some of my Facebook friends that I hadn't had a chance to read up on lately.  Enter Tracey with a war cry screamed so loud I had to cover my ears.  I go to church with Tracey and she runs.  She's also a Team Edward TWIHARD. Need I say more? Ok I will. She also has 2 boys like me.  If that doesn't make you want to run to Tracey's web site then I don't know what will.  If you need to know what a TWIHARD is then go here.

So I was reading Tracey's blog and suddenly realized that I had entered into my last lazy OOH-RAH. I don't know what I'll have for dinner but since today's my last lazy OOH-RAH then I can assure you it will be some tasty, not good for me, include some kind of chocolate BLISS.  Guaranteed.

Then at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning begins a new OOH-RAY for me in response to Tracey's war cry.  Now I must confess that Tracey has no idea she issued a war cry to me.  The war cry was in my ears.  No one else is as delusional as me to infer a cry for war from Tracey's blog.  But none the less the cry for war has been issued and I'm responding back with a GREAT BIG OOH-RAH.  Tomorrow morning the blood, sweat, and tears path to a smack down begins.  I'm going to rise early in the morning and run (translation: walk with wheezing, double me over cramps, sweat dripping in my eyes).

I see your HOLLA! Tracey and raise you an OOH-RAH!!

Let the fun begin!
