It's been a while so I whipped out the measuring tape. Gad, this is depressing but oh well:
Bust: 47"
Waist: 48"
Hips" 51"
What I want them to be (and what they were in high school):
Bust: 36"
Waist: 25"
Hips: 38"
Man....I gotta ways to go.

School is kicking my hiney. So many papers due all at once, it feels like the last two weeks all I've done is type! And I'm still not done. Oh well. Only two more years to go :D
Nothing very exciting happening here-other than schoolwork. Hubby is working on a major business project, kiddo is growing like a weed, and we've been on-again-off-again on our eating habits. I've definitely gained weight *sigh* I need to figure out how to balance my time better so I can get classwork done, cook, have time to be a human, and keep the house clean. I still have Halloween decorations up!
AHHHHHHH!!!

Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to me!
Happy birthday to me!
Oh my God I'm 30!!
Happy birthday to me!
Here's to 30 rough and tough years of growing up and figuring out who I am. Still not sure but I know what I'm not. My hair's just as dark as it was 30 years ago, though its a bit longer and there's a few strands of silver in it now. I survived babyhood, toddler-hood (with a few memorable scars still showing), tween-hood, and teen-hood (not quite sure how I did that) and even made it through the 20s without embarrassing myself too badly or ending up in the pokey. I still don't have a college degree (only two years left though!), still haven't gone sky-diving, skiing, gone to a music concert, or visited Europe.
I've had a career with one of the top computer software companies in the world (who needs a degree?), lived in many different places and have bought a house; own two cars outright, married a wonderful man and gave birth to the world's most beautiful and intelligent baby (hush, your baby is perfect too). I've seen fire and flood, swam in glacier melt and with sea turtles; eaten snails and frogs and things best left unsaid...and I'm not old yet!
Here's to the next 30 years! To watching my baby grow up, to finishing college, to learning more about myself, to being a good friend and a good mother, to having fun, eating good food, and laughing till I cry!

Ahhh!!
I have to scream, suddenly it feels like I have too much going on, not enough hours in the day, and not enough patience or energy to accomplish anything. I've even skipped two days of P90X just have that hour to get other things done. Did they? *sort* of course not, I should have just worked out.
Tomorrow we leave for the coast and I can't wait! I'll have to drag some of my work with me (grrrrrr) but otherwise it will be nothing but 3 days of sand, sun, and family. Err...well...at least the Pacific Northwest version of sun, lol!

Three days in...very sore
Sore and a little achy but man it feels good. I feel like I've actually accomplished something...though, lets face it, I'm so out of shape I'm not completing nearly the same amount of reps/weight as the people on the show. Oh well, a little at a time and I will get there.
Splurged a little today on the dark chocolate. Hubby found some 60% stuff that is awesome! I actually felt satisfied after one piece, but then I got to working on homework and didn't put the bar away so next thing I know its halfway gone. Next time I'll only take a serving and then put it back in the cabinet. You'd think I'd have learned by now that when I get to reading/taking notes/distracted the hand keeps shoving things in the mouth, even if the body is happy.
It is really getting to be fall here. This weekend I hope to talk hubby into going to apple picking. Other than that its just working out and cleaning house on the agenda. Maybe we'll take a walk down to the library. Happy weekend everyone!

And So...It Begins
P90X...Feel the burn!!!
Oh yeah, I am very much feeling it. I've never done so many push-ups in my life, it feels great! In a weird, masochistic way. Tony Horton is extremely cheesy, which is strangely what I need when I start to wuss out. Just when I think I'm done and going to pack it in, he says something so off the wall dumb I start giggling and pump out a couple more reps. Technically P90X isn't really primal but I am hoping it will speed up my results.
So, here are my goals for the next 90 days:
Workouts 5 days a week with the 6th day optional.
Reasoning: 5 days a week I know I can get a workout in during kiddo's nap. During the weekend we are often out of the house, or hubby and I do house/yard work together so I can't guarantee a workout time. Don't want to set myself up for failure.
Primal Diet that Includes Dairy
Reasoning: Trying to do 80/20 just isn't cutting it, I give myself a little rope and then I suddenly realize that the little indulgences have become big ones. I will give a little lee-way for my birthday trip, Thanksgiving, and the Christmas trip. This will give me something to look forward to (on those days its milk chocolate or die) so I shouldn't feel deprived.
My Stats as of today:
Weight: 222.0
Waist: 47"
Hips: 46"
Chest: 47"
Right Arm: 17.5"
Left Arm: 17"
Right Thigh: 26.5"
Left Thigh: 26.5"
Neck: 18"
