SaturdaySaint's Diary

Great pics! Looks like it was a lovely day out. Being from Australia it looks like a pretty typical December day though :) What does the weather typically do there around Christmas time?
 
NORMALLY it's cooler... it's supposed to drop tonight...not much but it'll be in the 60s, which'll be good! Orlando got a little snow last week though..which was funny
 
Early Morning... New Beginning?

Sooooo... this morning, I get up at 4:50 as usual... Decided to try the Stationary bike and gazelle this morning... And you know what? It wasn't all that hard. I mean... yeah I sweated alot but it was a whole lot easier than I remembered. And if you've read my diary for the weekend...I almost had a fitness breakdown when doing that Yourself Fitness (gonna call it the Maya Prog from here on out)...and to be honest...I actually prefer it! It worked my full body and I was actually sore the next day...not just fromdoing pushups and what not! So...I may actually switch to do thing exclusively... either that or I'll keep switching back and forth... Don't want to get stuck in a rut! Oh..and after I was done, I hoped on the scale... Monday morning weigh in..and you'll be happy to know that I dropped 2 lbs!!! 231.5!!! Now, granted, I wanted to be at 229 but, hey... it's 2lbs and it's closer to 229! Not sure why I'm stuck on that number but, I want to be out of the 230's! With Hard work and diligence, I'll get there!

So here goes the run down of my regiment this morning!
20 minutes stationary
20 minutes gazelle
30 pushups
20 situps

And for breakfast I had:

1 Serving All Bran Yogurt cluster cereal - 160 Cal (I may be off on that one)
1 cup 1% milk - 103 cal
2 turkey bacon slices - MTM&K...help me out with this one :)
1 banana - 105 cal

Supposed to be going out for lunch today with a coworker so...I guess my lunch will be higher calories..unless I work at being good... I should make sure I go somewhere with a healthy menu!

Oh..and MTM&K is feeling really sick today... she had a miserable night last night. I shoulda stayed home from work today! Honey..I really hope you feel better... I'll be home as fast as I can after work!

More than likely, we're gonna end up someplace UNhealthy and I'll just have to watch what I eat... keep the portions low and I should be fine.. and yeah, I hope she feels better too! I actually haven't been over to yours in a bit...gonna check it out now!

I tell ya...I did NOT want to get up this morning.... ugh... it was terrible...TERRIBLE I tell you. we went to bed at around 10:30 and we were talking in bed for a while... about anything and everything... our weight loss, her health, Christmas and the lack of money... her possible pregnancy... it was a great evening... but getting up... it took about 3 minutes into my first 10 minutes on the stationary bike to wake up! But I want to see how I do with the Maya Program tomorrow! should be interesting!
 
Thanks for sharing the pictures of your walk - it looked beautiful and the family is *gorgeous* those kidlet smiles are precious!
 
Thanks M! The kids had a BLAST out there...they always do. they love picking the seeds for the trees along the path and "feeding the fishes"... It's so nice to get out of the humdrum of being in the house all day. And with our neighbors being dumb and making it uncomfortable for us to go outside and be with the kids during the day... it's a nice time with the family to just get out and BREATH!!!!
 
Why do your neighbors make it uncomfortable to be outside? That sounds terrible :(

But the walk did look fabulous!
 
Oh..our neighbors! Check this out... they're an interracial couple the same as us. They have 3 kids who live at home, and are incredibly keep to themselves. Now yes, my kids are a little rambunctious *see normal 2 and 3 year olds* and after about 3 or 4 months of living in our duplex, they start keeping their kids inside, or when we go outside, they call their kids inside, they close their blinds. I took my kids outside to get in the car and what does their 5 year old say to me after my daughter tries to wave at her? "I don't think I'm supposed to talk to her, my mommy doesn't like you guys!" I mean...wtf!?!?! it's made it VERY uncomfortable to live here...so... as soon as we can move..the better! The mother has OCD, very anal, and the husband who works in construction always looks like she's constantly smacking him in the back of the head. I mean... when we go outside now, we don't even make eye contact if they're outside too. I mean...come on... are we THAT crazy?!?!

MTM&K... anything to add to that?
 
For me it's worse during the day.....they do NOT like it when we're outside. It just this tense air. And I don't do well in situations like that. They don't like our kids going anywhere near their side of the duplex, or talking to their kids, etc etc etc. It's hard. My kids LOVE being outside, but when you feel like there is someone always watching your, scowling at you, etc etc.....and in such close proximaty(sp?)...it's really hard. And makes me VERY uncomfortable!

Like right now...I need to pick stupid pine needles from the rock beds in front of our house(though it is NOT in the lease contract).....as I was told by her that we were asked to do that. I know she looks in disgust at "our side" of the duplex....but mostly at me...since it's my job to keep stuff up(and I don't really well right now). It's hard. As if I don't have enough guilt in my life. Stuff like this gets to me so easily. I hate it. I can't WAIT to LEAVE. Not a wonder they have been through 5 renters on our side of the duplex in the 2 years since they have lived here and the duplex was built!!!!

Not my idea of a good time.
 
*HUGS* I'm sorry that they make life so hard for you all. They sound like real jerks...well, she does anyway and she's teaching her kids to be the same way. That's just a shame. :(
 
Yeah..that REALLY is the hardest part, our neighbors wife is a Stay at home mom (if you wanna call it that) and MTM&K is home all day having to deal with it... its like they run everyone out of our side. It's one of those things where you really just...don't see any love between the parents... like they're going through the motions... it's ridiculous!
 
Sorry I was half out of it when you left this morning hon......

Thanks for all your support! You're doing great! Keep it going!
