scrubs not the Tv Show

Yesterday I got paid and I'm desperately needing new scrubs. I just started working in home health 6 months ago. With Hubby out of work I was just trying to make do but now that he's back at work I can spend more freely. I stayed up till almost midnight looking around. I got me a pair of the new Grey's Anatomy Scrubs in Royal blue. I love how they feel to me it's almost like a silky texture. I also go me some new iguanamed scrubs I really love how their pants fits me and I got some tooniforms which are cartoon print scrubs. I found seasame street Hopscotch it has elmo and all the seasame street characters. My daughter loves Mo! FYI: Elmo. I also found a really cute fall one but I'm waiting on it not sure about it. So can't wait to receive all my new scrubs in the mail.

College Road Trip

Tonight we finally made it a movie. Just Leah, my husband, Marty and myself. I've been renting movies from iTunes and I've had the movie "College Road Trip" on my iPod ready to watch! Finally tonight we got around to watching it. Personally I liked it. I thought it was Hilarious. It's about a daughter who wants to go to college across the country and daddy has a bit of a problem of letting go.

Bare Escentuals Giveaway

there is a blog giveaway going on for bare escentuals. I've never used it but I only hear good things about it. Go check it out!

A different approach

I've not walked with my Nike+ in well over a month so, I'm gonna try getting up early of the mornings and walk 3-5 days a week. I'm wanting to do my Firm Dvds at least 3 days a week. I've thought of joining the local YMCA but I just don't know if I'd workout at a gym I just don't feel comfortable with it.

Running Late

Well I was late for work this morning. I called the lady I take care of as well the office of the company I work through. I had to pay my insurance on my jeep grand Cherokee. It was past due on the 17th with it being late I needed to go into the office. Not to mention I had to go by our local Co-Op to buy feed for the pigs & goats. My husband & his cousin started a little farm. You can actually make some money off them. So Hubby works late and Hubby cousin doesn't have his luscense to pick up the feed so, I'm left to do it and I'm the one to loose money in the process. The lady I take care of didn't like it at all. But it couldn't be helped! I've been working late so what does everyone expect?? I've got things to do besides take care of someone 24/7. My RESP hours end a week from Tuesday and I'm really glad! Not as much money but I've got other things I want to do.

Finally Scrobbling With Last.Fm Once Again!

Ever since I updated my ipod Touch to the new software update and downloaded the iTunes 8 I've not been able to sucessfully scrobble my ipod to Last.Fm Which really sicks because I love Music and I love last.fm and I love having the ability to scrobble all my music to my last.fm account. I think I've listened to over 900 songs since getting my ipod. I don't listen to music on it very much but,thats quite a bit. So I'm VERY happy now that I'm scrobbling with Last.FM once again!!! Not really sure how I done it but,I think I manually scrobbled using the Last.FM program I have on my computer. Now if only iTunes and Last.FM will get with the program and update their app for the iPod Touch/iPhone. Since updating to iTunes 8 I don't think many ppl have gotten any sound when using the Last.FM app hopefully soon

Seeing results from working out

I've been trying to do my FIRM workouts a few days a week and The FIRM promises you'll see results in just 10 workouts. Well I've been wearing these gray slacks at work today. I love these slacks and they've never really been tight but I can tell they are getting loose on me. They feel good to be in. While I got a moment to myself I sat down I'm not sure why but I looked down at my arms and I noticed they are starting to tone up and get defined. I've always wanted defined arms I might just get them yet!! I've not seen much weight loss but I've had to loose inches cause I can tell it when I put my clothes on.

Hubby asked if I've lost any weight lately. I told him I've lost 0.4 lbs he said that's good considering you've not worked out much. He said it seemed like I was loosing more when I was getting up of the mornings and going walking. My hours was changed around so the last thing I want to do is get up even earlier to workout.

Taking my workouts outside

We got some rain and wind off the hurricane. So, it's been pretty cool in the mornings for the last few days. The evens have been pretty nice with the sun out it's not been too cold or hot either. I had to go to town yesterday so beth & I went by the park and walked about a mile. The track at the park has a few inclines and what I like about this park it tells you how many laps equals a mile and how much of an incline it is. I think the biggest inclune was 17% of an incline. My calf muscles are really sore today. I got my weights and DVDs back from her so I think I'm gonna do them of the evenings after work. I'm gonna aim for 3 days of week. I'm also going to try getting up earlier and go walking about 3 days a week.

FIRM:WAVE

Last night I got an email yesterday about The FIRM's new workout system. It's called WAVE they attached a video of it and it looks like so much fun! Hopefully I can get it soon. It's got this curve looking step that you have to learn to place while doing the workout. It looks like it would really work out the abs. I will try and post the videos later.

You need to workout especially the times you don't want to

I woke up with my upper back killing me. Not sure why really. I've not been to Beths to workout in almost a week. I've had alot of stuff going on. She has my FIRM DVDs and my set if weights and I need to go get them just in case she decides to move back to Clevland,Tn. I've been working out with her and it's always late before we finish. I get to her house and always have to wait on her to finish a tv show or something else. Being a mother I have a ton of things to do my days are quite chaotic not to mention I work till 4 or 5 at nite. I like to get mine & Leah's baths by the time my husband gets home. I'm thinking of doing my workouts on my own.

My first Blog Giveaway

First of all sorry about the Delay in getting this up. My little Girl Leah hasn't really been feeling well for the last few days and she was up this morning before 3 AM and didn't go back to sleep till after 6 and I had to rock her then and she'd wake up every time I left her side. I had once thought of calling into work but,decided against it. So,its been one long day. I fought taking a nap all day. I got home and Leah was over at the Next Door Neighbors with Diane and she ran to the truck And I let her in and I drive up the driveway with her in the truck. Well,She ran around the house and we played on the swing set for awhile. I guess we played for 30 mins then we came into the house and she threw a huge fit cause we came back in. I cleaned my bedroom up and done a load of Laundry and gave Leah a Bath. So,thats my busy day! It's been hectic to say the least. I work in Home Health and My Patients RESP hours rollover 2 weeks from tomorrow so my hours are gonna be cut back but,I truly don't mind since the hubby went back to work this past week. So please understand I work till 5 right now and with a little one my days seem pretty much shot once I get home. I used an Online Random Number Generator and I chose 5 Numbers There was 8 enteries between both of my blogs Boo Bear's Place and Boo's Place I think thats pretty good considering that I'm fairly new to the blogging world. I gave everyone a number based on the comments. So,if you commented 1st you where number 1.But,if anyone is interested in letting other people here have a chance to read the book just let me know and maybe we can do some book swapping because I know I would love to read the book. The Winners Are:



1,2,3,5&8 I thought I would post their blogs (if they have one available) for everyone to view

Amy

peppylady

Ruby

ElizabethM

MartyR who currently has no blog....yet! Maybe soon



Congrats to all of you that one and I will be contacting the lady who is in Charge of sending out the books. Please email me at ezziriah@gmail.com with your email and mailing address info and I will see that you get your book soon.

Feeling crummy

The last couple days I felt bad and I think it's really a lack of sleep. I've been in bed by 10 pm since Tuesday night but yet i'm still tired. I ran out of thyroid meds & my insurance ran out which is a story in itself. Which I know is a contributing factor of how I'm feeling lately. I didn't go over to Beths yesterday to workout and was surprised to find she never called to find out where I was?!? I'm gonna call her later to find out how things are with her. I'm gonna try and rest up this weekend and start off fresh Monday. I feel like I'm getting nowhere?!? What should I do? Keep going is my only option I guess. I'm gonna do better with getting in bed earlier. I think that's my downfall. How do others mothers do this?

Benefits

I'm feeling really good and I think it's due to me exercising almost everyday! I weighed myself this morning and my weight was down it was 266 wow! 6 more pounds and I'll have already met my Christmas Goal. But I can't stop at that goal yes, I will be striving forward. I had a little girl almost 2 years ago. I was around 270 lbs. I had a rough labor & delivery and my daughter and myself both almost died in the process. I never felt so helpless I couldn't even care for my own child. I wonder if my weight played a part in it. I do want another child very badly but I can't be that helpless ever again! So yes I'm loosing this weight to try and have another child. Why oh why do I have the desire to have another child.

Husband returns to work

As some of you may know my Husband was in a car accident back in March and miracuously made it through the whole ordeal. He had major hip surgery. His hip was pretty much crushed. It took 3 months for him to just walk unassisted. It's been almost 6 months since the accident and today was his first day back to work. I'm do excited too!! We are planning on building our own home without borrowing money from anyone even a bank. It may take a couple years but we are doing it on our own as we get the money. In a few weeks I'm finally getting an iPhone 3G. Wow! A real cell phone plan. What's a girl to do?!? None of this high priced pay as you go crap! I'm so excited that I will be getting me an iPhone. I might also buy me a wii and wii fit to have something different to workout to while I'm at home. So excited to have hubby working again. More money that's for sure.

Too tired to workout

Does anyone out there skip a workout because your just too tired. I know I don't need to let that interfere but, I did. I'm tired even more today or so it seems. But I'm going to workout today regardless of how I feel. I almost fell asleep earlier but I got up and checked Nells mail. Leah hasn't been sleeping well lately. I've been keeping a log of most of my food lately and I'm proud to say I've been drinking more water than usual. I'm planning on working out as soon as I get off work everyday! First thing no waiting till later because later never comes around.

Checking In

I weighed in on Sunday I was down another pound. As long as I'm down every week that's all that matters. I started working out with my neice this past week. We started on Saturday. We worked out last night it was kinda late & I hate doing that cause it interferes with my little girls sleep pattern. But we had a blast doing our workout. I'm going to go grocery shopping tonight and get some healthy food to eat. That's what it's all about~living a healthy life!!
