    Proud of: Going on a long walk last night when I would have rather been watching TV
    Not proud of: Complaining the first half of the walk about how I would rather be at home :D

    I cheered up after that :|

    lol that is usually me. i will think about everything else i need to be doing. I am a big multitask-er. my favorite way to work out is to go to the gym. get on the elliptical, put my head phones in and catch up on a Netflix show i have fallen behind on. then when i get home i have had my tv time and my work out time in all at the same time :) Bad thing is right now i do not have a gym membership and it a little unsafe to do that while walking with two kids out side lol

    Haha yeah probably not! If I go as soon as I get home from work I dont complain too much, its when I wait until 8 or 9 that I really just dont want to leave the house. there is not enough hours in the day it feels!

    I feel that way too. i have a hard time getting my work out in too. by the time work is done i have to get the kids from day care, make dinner, feed the family, get my husband to work, have the house cleaned up, get my kids in the bath, read bed time stories and get them to bed. and school is about to start so i will have to fit homework time in to that as well. after all that i just want to go to bed but still have to fit in a work out, healthy meal planning, and prepping a lunch for the next day. But we can get this done we just have to stay focuses :)

    Exactly, I've been trying to just change when I get home and get out and get it done right away. otherwise homework (im taking a few classes for work at my local college this summer) and meal prep get in the way. lol And of course cleaning, cooking, and the million other things everyone has to deal with.

    Something to be proud of I guess: I ran yesterday. And I'm NOT a runner, I hate running, it hates me. However, it wasn't too bad doing it in the mountains in the rainy weather and I think I might actually enjoy trail running....who'd a thunk?! :o

    yeah i have been trying to get out of bed an hour early each day and knock out my work out then but when i have 2 kids that crawl in to bed with me when they have bad dreams they end up waking up too. we all just have to find that groove that works for us and dig into it.

    oh now that sounds like fun. i have never been a runner either but they only way i used to like it was going to the local hiking trails and running. it just seems more fun than on a treadmill or on a side walk. But be careful there are a lot of crazy people out there. keep your cell phone handy and always make sure some one know where you are going and when you should be back. Stay safe.

    Yes! It's very refreshing and you can't beat the views! And no worries, I always take my dog and a gun with me, plus, I'm a pretty tough *kitten*, so, if someone wants to rumble, I'm good to go! :wink:

    I wasted 3½ years, upon online dating websites; never again!

    Im sorry you feel you wasted your time. Did you find someone? or did you not? Some people have real good luck with those sites and others don't. I met my first husband not on a dating site but on Myspace. Not myspaces fault lol. My current husband i met through work and the odd things was we realized after talking that we were both on the same dating sites and none of them ever matched us together. Now it is 6 years and 2 kids later. we would be a great dating app success story if it had been smart enough to pair us together.

    POF matched me and my brother up, like in that super match thing he came up 1 or 2! I laughed so hard.

    oh gosh that is funny

    Have walked a lot, and ordered a new heart rate monitor. :) Proud of how I've pushed through a month and a half of overtime with another month of overtime coming up.

    that is awesome. i have been waiting most of the year for over time to pop up at my work and still nothing.

    I want to get a heart rate monitor. it ticks me off that i bought my husband a nice fit bit that tracks it and he barley even wears it. i wear mine everyday and it doesnt do heart rate :(
