I decided to jump on the sexy board and wear something that was a secret under my skirt. I bought a thong. Not because of the sexiness…REALLY but because with the skirt it didn’t have those obnoxious panty lines.
On Easter I went to church with a thong on. It was my secret. I giggled because it really would not be all that attractive to be seen in a thong, but my secret was safe…until after the Easter Brunch.
At brunch I was getting that dental floss in my backside sort of a feeling. It is not very comfortable at all mind you and my slip was catching in the lacy part that was obnoxiously laying a little twisted because I had put them on in a hurry.
I went to the bathroom and fixed the twisted string thing and went back to having brunch at church. During the “sharing” time the thong crept into places that no thong should creep. Dear heavens I was being invaded by my underwear.
I quietly walked out of the class and walked to the bathroom in disgust. I had bought the underwear on good word that they would be comfortable and the best thing EVER. NOT.
I got into the bathroom and quickly removed the itching, crack dividing nuisance and pitched them in the trash. I knew I could not return them. I was not about to endure another moment of uncomfortable skivvies.
I walked back into church with a wicked grin on my face. It was kind of breezy that is for sure.
We had Easter dinner and were with family until the evening. That night as I got ready for bed HH saw me take off my dress. He looked at me with a puzzled expression. Then he dared to ask it…”um…Honey did you go Commando all day? “NO!” I said this a bit emphatically as I started to blush. “It was not all day. It was partially through brunch that I realized the thong was not fit for my body. I took it off, pitched it and went “commandess” the rest of the day. A look of shock and amazement showed on his face. Yes, his girl went “commandess” at church and survived Easter without underwear. All I have to say is that I would rather go commandess than wear a big girl thong. Just sayin’

Since I did not post yesterday I can officially say that things went well yesterday. I still kept with my eating breakfast habit. That in itself is an accomplishment.
This week I will work on not only eating breakfast, walking 3 times a week,but also I need to drink water. The great nemesis to me losing weight besides my choices has always been water. This week I commit to drinking more water. This one will be a struggle but I think I can do it.
Health….here I come.

Day two and I was going to sleep in today. I could not. May be after the kiddos leave I will. I will also put in my 30 minutes while HH takes the kids to school. I am a bit tired. Stayed up way too late watching a movie.
I think I will change one thing a week if it is a super hard thing to change. I think I will change 1 thing on the half week.
On that note I tried to get a hold of the nutricionist. I called during extended lunch I guess.
Anybody in the Denver area need a work out partner? I am thinking about rejoining a gym. I did well when I swam every other day and I ran twice a week.
Anyway I am off to the trenches. I need to clean up the house a bit. HH has been home and has been doing it. Granted it is clean but not deep cleaned. I want to get the nitty gritty clean before I leave for work today.
I was successful on my first day….now towards my second.
Here’s to building healthy habits all over again.

**Funny stuff after the serious stuff**
So I started today on my getting healthier and taking my health seriously.
I took my skin seriously last night and again this morning with moisturizing. I know that sounds nutty but in our state it is DRY and my skin gets cracked if I am not careful.
This morning I ate breakfast which was a very unconservative breakfast for me but none the less it was breakfast. I made home made chicken noodle soup last night. It was delicious. I heated leftovers for breakfast. I have no idea what the caloric intake was because I made it. I can assume it was lower because I only used chicken breast and then used my own chicken stock. I put carrots and celery in it. I normally make my own noodles but this time I used the no yolks noodles. It was fabulous.
I went to bed at a decent hour and got up at 5:45. I could only fit in a 20 minute walk, but at this moment that is better than nothing.
Yesterday was such a crazy day. I found myself giggling and saying to myself, “You can’t make this kind of stuff up!” Do you ever blog and think that it sounds so incredulous that it sounds made up. This time was no exception.
The kid’s school is doing a silent auction. They were making all of the class baskets and ran out of baskets. We were then asked to go to Basket World which was by Mission Avacado to get the said baskets. BASKET WORLD BY MISSION AVACADO???!! Sure enough we got there and it was a plethera of baskets and party supplies for CHEAP. When we met the owner he was a little Chinese man. He was at cute as they come. He asked what we did. I explained what I did and my friend explained that she is a Latin teacher. He then spouted off something in Latin. She looked at him and smiled. He explained in his very thick Chinese accent, “I was alter boy!! I know Catholic Latin!” He was very proud of himself and had this crazy snorty laugh.
After we left we broke out into gobs of giggles. When asking her what was so funny besides the snorty laugh. She explained, “I couldn’t understand a word that man said. He had a Chinese accent on Latin!! It’s bad enough to try to understand an English accent let alone another language’s accent!!” Of course that being said we both were almost in tears from laughing at the events of the day.
Our next journey…MISSION AVACADO. I wonder if it’s like James Bond….oh oh or like Mission Impossible Avacado?

I have long since ignored my health issues. I have ignored them because to think about them overwhelms me beyond belief. There are some things that I do need to change in my life to make a difference to my health.
These are the things that I will do as a committment to myself.
#1 One thing a week to change in my every day eating/sleeping/work out habits.
#2 Start out with 3 days a week walking/or some type of work out for 30 minutes.
#3 Go see a nutricionist. HH is not a good source of support where my weight is concerned. I commit that I will call to make the appointment before 4/15.
#4 When I make a change it is for a week and then then next week I add to it.
#5 I must take better care of myself and my skin. Moisturize daily.
#6 I need to find a balance with work
#7 I need to find a balance with children again.
#8 Try to stop feeling alone in this battle.

*Starting tomorrow my one change for this week is to eat breakfast every day. Whatever that looks like I commit to doing it.

Now let’s see where this road takes me……..
