Wow the changes!

I'm so sorry I've been absent, like I've said my life is crazy busy, but it's starting to slow down and I'm more than ready for that. I have so many things I can't wait to do once I have all this free time!!

So, what has been happening, lots of SNOW and ICE..... it held us inside and unable to go ANYWHERE twice in one year and I hear that it might happen again! Not normal for here and so unwanted!! The first time it was wonderful to get out and play and take pictures, after that it needs to leave. It would be different if it were suppose to happen, but it shouldn't happen where it isn't suppose to happen!

Next thing, I quit smoking.... OFFICIALLY..... I've went so long with it my husband says I quit and I guess I believe him even though EVERY single day I fight with the urge to not do it. I'm old enough so it isn't like I can't hop in the car and go get some! At first it was a huge struggle so I ate.... EVERYTHING I could find and I gained..... TEN POUNDS in 17 DAYS! I'm telling you putting weight on is no joke and takes NO WORK..... AT ALL.... Now, I'm working my butt off to get it and an extra 60 pounds OFF.

Okay, let's be honest I don't know how much I will loose or need to loose I may be happy 50 pounds lighter and a lot stronger, I am not out to be SKINNY..... I want to be strong so 50 pounds from now or 80 pounds from now.... I will know when I get there.

So, I've started a wonderful cross fit program (that I do not think is for beginners, but I'm doing it anyway (as much as I can and learning). I know that I am flat footed and over pronate when I run so today I'm heading to the store with my youngest son and getting some compression socks and insoles to see if that'll help before I spend $120 on shoes.... Yes, shoes that I will run and sweat in and ruin..... $120.... I can't stomach that since normally I pick up 10 pairs of the $1.50 flip flops and I will wear them all year lol

Anyways, I will write more later just wanted to check in and let you know I'm still here just finishing these last couple of BUSY weeks and then I'll be doing much more around here!! :)
