On a Mission

So first of all, my apologies for not being able to get in here more often, but you know how it is in my world – if it aint one thing, its another. Don’t be alarmed – all is well LOL – but lately it seems I am just all over the place. Stuff to do, stuff to remember, stuff to pick up, stuff to drop off, stuff to fix, stuff to schedule, stuff to……… *sigh*……. IF I have the presence of mind to blog about something, I’m usually too tired to do it.

But I couldn’t figure out why I was so tired. I mean, yes, its warranted just on the daily commute alone LOL, then you throw in a couple of kids and there ya go…… but I still feel like I shouldn’t be this tired all the time. Its like all of a sudden too. When I first moved, that commute had my legs, abs and everything else burning like California wildfire, and you could SEE physical changes occurring. Then all of a sudden – after I got my place – it was like something threw me in reverse. In my mind, I wasnt doing anything different. I have a very similar commute as the one I had then, I was drinking the same and actually eating less….. *pause*…….the more I thought about it, the more I realized I was – and still am – actually eating a LOT less. Until recently, most days, I was eating once a day, at lunch time. #FAIL

So I sat and did some thinking about how to attack this situation, talked to a couple of people, and I think I am on the path. Baby steps, of course, but on the path, nevertheless. Objective? Well, I guess it would be cool to lose a couple pounds…. again….. but my main goal right now is just to feel better when I get home. I feel like a big ass pat of butter sliding down a stack of pancakes LOL. I be at work all day, planning in my head all the stuff Ima do when I get off, I get home and aint tryna do a gotdamn thing but be a pat of butter LOL. So time to make some alterations. Read a pretty good blog by Mary Mary today too (that’s it linked up at the top^). Its about learning how to balance out your life. Women especially tend to overextend themselves, taking care of everybody but ourselves. Lord knows Im guilty of it. Whenever time runs short in a day, and we have to move some things around, the first appointments to get canceled are our own personal ones. Why do you think feeling rundown and looking rundown aint but a minute apart? LOL

Well with that said, Im about to blow this popsicle stand and tend to these eyebrows I have been neglecting. Then I am going to stop at the store and buy a new bottle of vitamins that….. arent….. expired….. LOL. Don’t judge me…..
