My Humble Journey

Every commerical starts the same way: "In times like today", blah, blah, blah. Yes, we know the ecomony sucks right now, & we see and feel it in our paychecks (no measly 2% raise & a hiring freeze at work). 

Since we are a bit more limited, we have been forced to really watch our spending and make cuts where necessary. This has been so wonderful for our family. We only eat out maybe once a week now & have started making everything at home from scratch (yes, I cheat b/c I have a food processor, but still!) Instead of Pizza Hut, we made our own pizza & it was so nice to know exaclty everything that went into what we were eating. We also had so much control over the dough size, etc. not to mention that for the $20.00 we would have spent, we made 3 pizzas! Anywho, It’s nice when you can make lemonade out of lemons & there is actually a big pay off (3 lbs down this week)

I’m in an extraordinarily good mood today. Interesting since we have a big audit coming up & an interview with another agency (cross your fingers for me), but I think it’s becauase I took a walk this morning with baby.  It’s awesome how just walking outside makes a big difference sometimes.

Anyway, I’m pretty proud of myself (not to brag or anything). Each year, our auditors send us warm cookies for us to enjoy. I signed for them, gave several away, & managed not to even touch one even though it was quite tempting! Yhea! Anyway, feeling good & going to check out Govn’t Mule this Friday with some friends after a good workout!

Today starts my Round 2 of P90X. I’m going to do the classic this time around. I liked the lean, but want to focus on building lean muscle mass as well. I’ve decided to throw in some running to take advantage of the jogging stroller whenever the weather is nice. I’m pumped-but will try to be better about my diet this time around.
