Yeah, so just in case you were wondering, i’m still here. Well I haven’t been HERE per se but you know I’m still around.

I’ve just been you know, obsessing about weight loss. :) This week was not so good. I believe I had one too many jelly beans on Easter so I’m up 0.6 pounds. Oh well, it’s a new week. I also have a seriously hurt back but exercise seems to make it feel better so that’s a good thing.

What makes it feel worse? Um, a 30 pound wet noodle. I’ve started turning Boog away when he asks me to pick him up. “No way little man, you’ve got legs.” He’s not a fan I don’t think.

I’m not sure why I haven’t been back here to post lately. I guess we’ve just had a lot going on but you know not the kind of a lot that I feel like anyone else cares about. I did finish Sleep Is For the Weak this morning. Yeah that book I bought back in September and had Mir sign for me. It took me 7 months to finish.

In my defense, i really only read snippets here and there while I eat breakfast and not every day but still that’s kind of pathetic. I’ve become more of a magazine reader I suppose. A friend of mine just got me a subscription to Brain Child magazine for my birthday. That magazine rocks. I’ve already read most of it and I actually spent an entire evening READING rather than watchin my stories as my husband would say.

I think when I’m done I’m gonna mail it to my friend that got me the subscription. It seems like the kind of thing she would like too. I gave her a couple of subscriptions for her birthday as well, different magazines, actually I don’t really remember which ones anymore. Geez, that’s sad, that was only like two weeks ago.

Boog is going through a decidedly pleasant phase. I must say I do prefer that to the exorcist phases. You know the ones that make me want to get my tubes tied post hast. He has been having some trouble falling asleep lately and I’m not sure what that’s about. It generally requires me to go back in address whatever problem he’s drummed up and then tell him to lay down and close his eyes. After a minute or so I can tell him nite nite and leave and he’ll go to sleep. I don’t know why he can’t do that the FIRST time I put him down but he just can’t apparently.

We’re making some progress on potty training. I bought a book with several different methods in it and read a couple and then decided I didn’t think he was really all that ready. But lately he’s showing more interest. I don’t think he’s quite ready for full on potty training but I figure we’ll take that lloooonnnnnggggg approach and maybe he’ll be potty trained my 6th grade. :)

He is totally psyched about wearing that Cars underwear I bought him so I suppose I should make some effort before he’s no longer obsessed with that movie. Oh and those little tiny briefs…OMG so cute I just can’t even stand it.

Over all the diet and exercise is going well. It would be going better had I not gained this week but hey I’m still down over 11lbs. I’m trying out some new workouts because I’m getting kind bored with just the 30 day shred and spinning. I have to find something that really makes me sweat though and only takes 20-30 minutes cause that’s all I have time for.

So far I’ve been trying out The Bigger Loser videos and they’ve been pretty good. I haven’t found one that I’m in love with just yet though. I am still waiting for a couple of them. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

And finally I’ll leave you with this. Boog declared this his FAVORITE plant at Lowes last week so of course I bought him one so he could have his FAVORITE plant at home. It was just too cute for me to pass up.

He has apparently inherited his father’s green thumb cause lord knows he didn’t get it from me. I have the black thumb of death when it comes to gardening. Maybe between the two of them I can have a pretty yard to look at without much work on my part. :)
