So Much To Say
It's been so long! I am reading my regular blogs and everyone is just so busy and has so much going on and I feel so far behind. Lots of things are going on over here, too. I don't really remember where I left off (and I forgot to look) so, I'll just start the rambling. This weekend is the big LSU vs UGA football game. It's a big deal here in my house because Blue is from Georgia, if you'll recall. And we live in Louisiana. It's a Civil War. His family (mom, dad and maybe brother)(and a friend) are coming in on Friday for the game and to see our new home. We will be tailgating alllllllllll day long on Saturday. My parents are cooking and my brother and his friends have THE best spot on campus. I'll be wearing the purple and gold and screaming with every ounce of my being. This is for all the marbles! GO TIGERS! I joined calerieking.com and I LOVE it. It helps me so so much! I'm doing my treadmill work as much as possible and that is helpful. The treadmill that I use is very old, though. None of the stuff on it works except for the actual treadmill part. I guess I don't need any of the fancy stuff but it would be nice to know how far I've gone and to have an incline. I'll be asking for a new one for Christmas. My goal (one of them because I have a LOT) is to lose some weight (FAT) before I worry about doing other exercises besides cardio. I powerwalk and then jog and that seems to be working for now. I'm trying to add more time to the days and more days a week that I do it. If you are interested in my weight loss and progress and are doing the same or have done it, let me know please. I have a weight loss blog, too but I've decided to make it private. Just let me know if you want to read. Seriously, who knows where I can find out a good housecleaning schedule? I know that one of you superwives has one or knows one. I read one before so I know they exist. I'm talking about, Laundry and bathroom on MON, floor and blah, blah, blah, on TUES... And if you say Flylady then tell me where because I don't wanna know about cleaning my sink and dressing everyday. I do that. Everyday. If I don't, I don't wanna. Also, on the house cleaning front, who has a Jacuzzi tub? Do you clean the jets a lot? Every week? Every day? Every year? I mean with chemicals or whatever... Thanks! I know there are other things I gotta tell ya'll but I need to move it! I gotta go get milk and then get my (big) butt on the treadmill. NOVEMBER 3 is housewives day! I like daisies and gardenias and lilies and I don't like carnations. I wear a size 8.5 shoe. ;) Labels: exercise, family, football, housework, life, LSU, weight loss
New Meds and Stuff... (TMI alert)
I lost my mojo. It's the Zoloft. My doc has been trying since last April to get me to try Wellbutrin but, I've been reluctant. I'm so wary of side effects. All she had to say was the words "jittery" and "agitation" and I figured sex was overrated. Well, not completely but, you get my drift. I'm not interested in feeling any of those things because I already do. I take medication for anxiety and am trying to wean off of it and it's a huge horrible ordeal.
Well, turns out, I need more than hugs from the hubs (and so does he) and the Zoloft wasn't getting the entire job done. The anti-depression job, I mean.
My sweet Kate has been telling me about it and made me feel better (and supported) plus, I figured since I already feel like dog poo, what the hell? So, on Friday, I took the Wellbutrin (the W). I take it in the AM and the Zoloft in the PM. So far, so good. The W does not make me jittery but, a little hyper. I'm hoping that when i feel better, this will be a great thing! I was a little emotional and irritable on Friday but, who knows if that was the W or just me?
I need a haircut so bad but, I don't know what to do with it. I want to cut it a lot but I don't think it'll work. The curls, the fat face, etc. I have to have lots of layers and I must wear it curly or wavy. It looks silly straight. Trust me. Plus, I am not doing the whole 2 hour hair straightening, blow dry, flat iron thing. I know me, I'm not doing it.
What should I do? Hmmmm? Any ideas?
Do you have an exercise regime? Tell me about it. How did you start? How did you start from very-very-out-of-shape to exercising regularly. HELP! I need to start. I'm very motivated because we are going on a FABULOUS vacation in May. I'll tell you all about it soon. It's gorgeous, tropical, dreamy...
