O.....m.....g..... my day started a few hours before I planned on it starting.   My kids were at there dad's the last 6 days, but at 7 a.m., I got a call from Ethan, my 15 year old son, from school.  He said, "You need to come pick me up.  Something happened at dad's this weekend."  I was instantly freaked out.  He wouldn't tell me what was going on.  I got up, wet and combed my hair out, threw some clothes on (no bra because...  I'm just picking the kid up) and left.  I was out of the house in less than 5 minutes.  I got to the school and had to go into the high school office to find him.  I thought he'd be right out front waiting.  It's a very small school.  The elementary, junior and senior high are in one pretty darn small building.  Anyhow, the secretary got him out of class, and he informed me he got into a physical fight with his dad this weekend.  Now...  I don't know about other countries, but here, you're pretty much not allowed to touch your kids.  But...  you can open-handed hit them all you want, that is what I found out this evening according to the police.  Ethan's dad, my ex-husband, decided that it was okay to pin Ethan to the wall (his feet dangling) and HIT him with the palm of his hand (the meaty, hard part), repeatedly.  AND..  choke him with his hand AND forearm.  I have pictures of his back (huge scrape and welt of him being drug across the towel rack), scratches and welts on his chest from dad pinning his elbow (hard) into Ethan's chest and a goose egg, 3/4 inch high, on his forehead from these supposed open-handed hits to his forehead.  And the police said, get this...  it was okay for him to do this because Ethan had disrespected him.   Even better, they said there was no obvious physical harm. I was PISSED to say the least.  What I heard, "Go ahead, beat the crap out of your kids.  We don't care."   I could go on.  But at this point, I'm calling my lawyer tomorrow, maybe the county police, and if Ethan wants, next week, he can refuse to go to his dad's.  As far as that goes, they can all refuse and we can drag this out for a bit.  I'm mad...  And here's the kicker, I know FOR A FACT!!!  I would be in jail right now if this were me because the ex-husband's brother is on the police force here.  My kids have heard him get coaching from his brother how to hit the kids without getting into trouble.  AAARRRGGGHHH!!!  Now what???

Today was a weird day.  Briyanna had a "by invite only" trackmeet which included the Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming and Nevada.  She didn't do fantastic, but she should just be happy she got invited.  I headed out pretty quickly this morning, with yogurt in tow.  But at the last second, I found it that it was being held somewhere different than I had originally thought.  So I had to flip around and run there.  I was going to take the yogurt in, but there was this sign that said not to bring food in, so I didn't.  I just sat and starved, and drank a ton of water.  I did sneak in 4 cheese sticks in my camera bag, but Briyanna stole one and Berlyn stole the other.  I pretty much skipped breakfast and lunch, unless you call the coffee breakfast.  It held me over longer than I thought it would. When I got home, I took a shower and not surprisingly, my afternoon weight was lower than my morning weight.

In the evening after Curt got off work, we went to my cousin's son's 2nd birthday.  They were having pizza for dinner so we stopped and grabbed a salad. And then out of courtesy ate another salad at my aunt's house.  We were starving later when we got home so ate veggies again.  All in all it was a good day and I resisted alcohol even through I was really wanting it.

So....  this is a "Come to Jesus" blog entry.  I'm struggling.  I'm struggling badly.  I'm having quite a few hang ups here and I guess that I just need to type them out, get them off my chest and then maybe, just maybe, I can start dealing with it.  I actually have a couple of issues.  Unfortunately when I have an issue, I force that issue full force right on to Curt, which stunts his progress too! 

#1.  I'm feeling sorry for myself as far as food goes.  I start thinking about food that I can't eat and start craving it and by the end of the night, I've gone out and gotten that food.  Always.  I need to find something quick and easy AND TASTY (very important) and grab it and forget that craving. 

#2.  So I don't do #1 every day.  That said, the thing I struggle with the most...  I know that this is something that I have addressed before.  But I think that until I have this issue resolved, I'm going to have to keep bringing it up here.  I struggle, struggle, struggle with alcohol.  My motto is, "If there is alcohol in the house, I will drink."  Okay...  that's an exaggeration a bit.  I have several bottles of wine in the house that I will never drink because I hate wine, and I won't drink "manly" beer, but I will drink "cheerleader" beer (AKA Smirnoff Ice and Mike Hard Lemonade).  And of course, my personal, biggest vice, vodka.  Bad, bad stuff, but oh so good!   Here's my problem...  I use (probably abuse) alcohol when I have a bad day, when there is something to celebrate, if we have friends over (good thing), if my mom comes over (bad thing), if I have body aches (which is pretty much a daily thing, considering how much I do physically).  Pretty much...  I can justify having alcohol every singe day.  I was doing really good for a couple of weeks.  And then something happened and it just ended.  I kinda think it was when we went to Las Vegas, but I'm not sure.  Anyways...  the past week and a half, I've been AWFUL!  I can't believe I can even function the next day.  The completely ridiculous part of this is that I know that this is why I put on all my weight to begin with.  I put on close to 40 lbs. just because I started drinking alcohol heavily and I'm afraid I'm just going to start putting it all right back on.  The past few nights I've been having a rough time sleeping.  I'm pretty religious, I just don't push it on here, so I won't be Bible thumping on here.  But when I can't sleep, I spend a lot of time praying.  And this is something that I've been praying about a lot because I can tell this is something that I won't be able o do on my own.  But I am SO frickin' weak...  I had a little vodka left in the frig, and I finished it off.  And the "poor me" attitude that I have, went and bought another large bottle of vodka because I'm cutting out fabric that makes my back just burn, and I'm on my period so standing long periods of time makes my "under carriage" ache and throb (sorry, that was a bit descriptive).  My problem here is that in all honesty, alcohol and narcs are the only thing that do anything to remotely relieve the pain I'm in.  And the only thing that I have access to is alcohol. 

Ugh...  I hate this.  I'm in a lose, lose situation.  It's frustrating.  Any suggestions?

I did another 5K today.  I did it in 34:03 minutes, 3 minutes faster than yesterday!  I'm going to take a break from it for a couple days.  I need to switch up my workouts anyways, so I hope that helps. I had two workouts today.  I went in the morning with Curt and in the late afternoon with Brenna.



Curt has been up the past few days, but we weren't all that good over the weekend, so we're back on track. 


Thanks for the encouraging words about having Brenna follow our plan.  Curt and I talked about it a little more.  I think she'll be mostly PV.

Well...  it's been a crazy, hectic week.  We had a party on Friday and Saturday, so that is what I'm blaming on my weight gain.  We both cheated to some degree both days.  If you would have been here, you would understand.

On a different, more controversial note...  I've been keeping an eye on my 11-year-old daughter, Brenna, for a couple of months.  She has put on alot of weight in the past month or so.  I decided I need to do something about it.  She is 5'4" and weighs 130 lbs. which isn't awful, but she carries all of it in her belly, so I can't find anything that fits her.   Her waist measurement right now is more than mine, and I'm 28 lbs heavier than her!  So I asked her what she thought about training with me to do a 5K, which she excitedly agreed to.  On top of the workout, she's going to eat the same thing Curt and I do.  So before I get flack about this, let me explain how she was eating.  I swear, it was non-stop, all day long from the time she got up til the time she went to bed.  She's actually really excited about all of this and loves the food.  I will keep you all posted on how she does on this. 

I did a full 5K today, had to walk a little of it.  I did the whole thing in 37 minutes.  Definitely room for improvement, which sadly excites me!

OMG...  I had a bad feeling about my number today and low and behold... there it is!  I reweighed myself 3 times just to be sure.  It was sickening.  So...  PP for 2 or 3 days to fix this mess.  

It's now midnight, and I'm finishing up the blog for the day.  I took a shower and reweighed myself.  I'm already 0.2 below my morning weight so I'm looking forward to tomorrows number.  I didn't log in our lunch and dinner because I didn't eat lunch and I'm not really sure what Curt ate for lunch and dinner because he worked away from home today.  I realized that I'm not real fond of him working away from home. 

On a side note,  Sandi replied to one of my posts.  My GOAL is 25 minutes for a 5K.  I'm at about a 30 minute 5K.  Although this morning, my pace was a 7:47 mile for half a mile.  I didn't want to push it tho.  I want to be able to crawl out of bed in the morning!  We got off the treadmill and all I could think of was that Briyanna, a 13 year old, is running a 6 and a half minute mile.  Wow... I've let myself go downhill....

UGH!   I've had a couple bad days.  Yesterday, we had a poker night.  We both drank alcohol.  I assume my number this morning was so low because, since I was drinking, alot, I didn't even think about eating.  I ate some celery, a couple doritos, and then I threw it all up.  Like I said.  I was drinking alot!  Anyhow...  we got up this morning and decided to have a date night.  Thus, not behaving.  I hope our numbers in the morning aren't ridiculous.

Curt...  NEW LOW!  AND... passed the 60 lbs mark. WOOHOO!!!

Now, I have to brag on my kiddos.  Briyanna had a trackmeet today.  She placed 1st in the 1/2 mile (3 minutes flat) and 1st in the mile (6 minutes and 32 seconds).  She qualified in both events for the statewide YMCA meet, which is the equivalent of state for Middle Schoolers.  And then, Ethan informed me that in his school's division, he is ranked #4 in the state in the 1/2 mile.  I'm pretty darn proud of those kids.  And I'm living vicariously through them.  :D  I need to get back to my running roots.

On that note, I'm working on that.  I'm working on building up my endurance and then working on the distance. My first goal is a 5K (under 25 minutes), then a 1/2 marathon and perhaps a full marathon.  We'll see tho.  I was out running in the neighborhood on Sunday and realized that around the block is exactly a 5K.  The 25 minute goal is going to be tough.  I am doing a mile in about 10 minutes, which is embarrassing after watching my 13 year old daughter do it in 6 and a half minutes.  But, it gives me something to work for.  I definitely have room for improvement.  

I took my measurements again today.  I'm down another 1.5 inches.

We were pretty good yesterday, aside from some alcohol...  shame on us.   But we ate very well and completely enjoyed our veggies.  And we got in a 20 minute bike ride and weight lifting.  That whole experience was awkward.  There were 4 bikes there and we got the middle two.  Then I looked over and my ex-husband's pastor's wife was on the one next to me.  She had sent me a rather mean, only-knowing-one-side-of-the-story letter when I left the ex.  And then, 10 minutes into the workout, next to Curt sits one of the ex's best friends.  Ahhh...  fun times.  It wasn't too bad tho.  We just sat with our headphones on and all was good. 

Curt is 0.4 lbs from 60 lbs so we have our fingers, our toes, our arms AND legs crossed hoping to hit that mark!

Ok....  So today was a rough day for me.  I hadn't had a bowel movement in days which meant my morning weight was up.  Again.  4 days straight.  And yesterday, I was actually a good girl, so of course I am frustrated.  I was starting to get stomach cramps from no bowel movements so I found help in a little pill.  I feel much better now and I hope I have a number that will make me feel better tomorrow too.  I was very irritated with my number.  Then, we had to go to Curt's mom and take her dog in to the vet to be euthanized.  OMG...  his mom was bawling.  I have not even seen this dog more that 5 times, but seeing her cry made me break down.  Then....  we decided to grab a bite to eat.  I mentioned at least 3 times that it was a PP day so eggs and bacon or sausage or ham.  We sit down and Curt orders a steak omelet FULL of veggies.  I ordered my eggs and bacon.  Needless to say, I was not very happy.  In fact, I was down right pissed off.  I didn't have much to see for a few hours.  We came home and I laid down in bed and just seethed!  And then I had a revelation.  I have been doing this diet for the two of us.  And it's really stressful.  I finally broke down and decided to hash it out.  I think we are on the same page now.  I hope.  We both have goals and we both have to be in agreement if we are going to even remotely get close to hitting goals.

We had date night yesterday.  And we cheated.  We went to a new chicken wing place.  It was really good, but I hadn't eaten much all day, and I was starving by the time we got there.  I caved and got chips and salsa as an appetizer, and we actually ordered the chicken wing nachos.  I guess we've been having a tortilla chip craving?  After dinner, we went to see the new movie, "21 Jump Street."  It was actually pretty good.  We laughed...  ALOT! When we got home, we watched another movie ("The Descent" and that was pretty good too!) and drank beer.  I know... shame on us. 

So today is a new day.  We are behaving now.  And even despite eating badly last night, Curt had a great number this morning.  I, on the other hand...  no...  But, my excuse would be that I haven't had a real bowel movement in several days AND..  it's TTOM (stupid woman issues!).

New goals.  I rarely hit mine, so sometimes I don't know why I bother, but if I don't have a goal, I've got nothing to aim for.  So here are my goals.  I weighed in at 158.8 this morning.  I want to be down to 155 by the end of this week.  I've been all over 156, 157, 158 the past week, so I don't think that's a ridiculous goal.  And I want to be to 150 by May 1.  For Curt, he'd like to be down 13 lbs by May 1, so a total of 70 lbs lost.  So here we go.  I'm going to really push working out this month and obviously our diet. 

Curt and I are jokesters.  And considering it's April Fool's Day, we have to pull one on someone, normally Curt's mom.  Last year, we told the kids and Curt's mom that Lily (dog) was pregnant.  Boy were they all upset when we told them it was a joke.  And Boy were we upset when 21 days later, she had puppies!  So this year, Curt told everyone I'm pregnant.  I'm really hoping we didn't jinx ourselves!

OH!!!  We got a new baby today!  I'm trying to decide what to name her.  The people I got her from had named her "Shorty."  She doesn't look like a "Shorty" to me.  And "Shorty" screams masculinity.  So I have a Lily (pug) and a Rosy (chihuahua) so I'm thinking another floral-y name.  My thoughts so far are Jasmine, Jazzy for short, Magnolia, Maggie for short, Saringa, Sari for short.  Any ideas?
