The one with a new store!

So I've decided I need to make blogging more of a priority in my life. Lately I have been feeling so lazy about it. Like it is going to take sooooooooooo much energy and time to keep up my blog. But I need it. It is important in keeping up my life. You know, MY life.

Anyway, I have a domain name now. And I am setting up a Wordpress blog.

The domain is for my bath and body business. Which is slowly going.

Check it out at www.TwinSpringNaturals.com. Anyone who mentions that they read about my store on my blog can get FREE SHIPPING on any order of $10 or more.

Currently I only have an Ebay store, so you have to have an ebay account. But in the next year I want to set up my online store. Also next year is my goal to start craft shows. More about what has been going on with this later.

I miss all my peeps. You know who you are!! I just found my bestest favoritest blogger friend again today. She closed her blog last year while I was on hiatus and was SOOOOOOOO upset. That has made my day.

Memorial Day weelend was fun. We planned a big bonfire party that 4 people showed up for! We have issues with people showing up to our parties. But the bonfire was fun. And Gabriel, Mark, and I camped in the back yard Saturday night. It was fun but I am still hurting from sleeping on the ground. We will invest in a queen or king size air bed, insead of the twin we have, and we plan on doing this often this summer. We have a great big yard that is completely secluded in the woods. Perfect for camping.

Got to get something else done now. Love you all!!

Wednesday Weigh In - week 4

Ugh, I have not been feeling very self-confident lately. I have gained another half pound, so I am up 2. Although, I only worked out Tuesday and Wednesday this week. AND I really haven't been eating the lowest of calorie foods. With Easter dinner, and candy. The other day I grilled bacon wrapped surf and turf. (But it was GOOD.)

I am however getting up every morning at 5:30, so that I can get in my exercise AND a shower every day. The only problem is that I am SO stiff in the mornings. I don't know what arthritis feels like, but I would think this to be close. I have got to shed some weight.



PS. I know that I have only been posting for the Wednesday Weigh In. I am sorry. I just don't know where all the time goes. I have been working very hard on setting up my bath and body products business. I need to settle on a business name and logo, before I can get any products up for sale.

Weigh In Wednesday - week 3

I have been uber busy, and I feel sooooo guilty for not posting Wednesday Weigh In ON Wednesday for the second week in a row.

I am feeling a little bummed this week. I GAINED 1.5 lbs. I know, or I hope, that it is probably muscle weight from exercising regularly. But it tis discouraging to be trying hard to exercise and seeing a significant weight GAIN.

Here is how my week went:
Thursday: 30 minutes on the treadmill
Friday: 25 minutes on the treadmill (I think, it could have been the DVD, but I DID exercise.)
Saturday: nothing
Sunday: nothing
Monday: 25 minutes on the treadmill
Tuesday: 35 minutes on the treadmill
Wednesday: 25 minutes of the Slim DVD

I have been giving the DVD a small break. While I LOVE it and think that the Slim In 6 DVDs have really helped me, my knees have been bothering me again. I have had problems with my knees ever since I have started to exercise after Abby. Probably due to the fact that I weigh more now than I ever have before (unpregnant). Also due to doing lunges and squats improperly a few months back and really messing my knees up.

So I will only do the DVD (which has squats and lunges. That I have been doing properly now!) a few times a week and go on the treadmill the rest.

Part of my desire to lose weight is because of my knees. I am only 23 and too damn young to have arthritis.

I haven't been talking alot about my diet. That is because I haven't been real strict with it. Suffice to say that I try to watch what I eat and eat in moderation. I DON'T drink enough water though.

Night Prayers

My son has decided to change his name.

Night prayers go something like this:
"God bless Daddy, and Mommy, and Abby, and Oh-Boy."

Yep.

Sometime he even refers to himself in the first person.
"More juice for Oh-Boy."

At least the night prayers are an upgrade from what he was calling everyone else.
"God bless Daddy-gail, and Mommy-gail, and Abigail, and Oh-Boy."

Because obviously if your name ends in y, the full version ends with gail.

The latest and greatest in my household??

What the Ba-donk-a-donk?

Yeah, I don't know what that means either.
