I've been on a baking and cooking kick lately so I'll post my attempts at culinary creations. I'll post the pictures of the process and what the end product was supposed to look like if available. I have had people ask me where I got a recipe and I figured referring them to this blog would be easier than remembering to email a link. Which I often forget to do. Sorry grandma.
I coupon. But I'm not a crazy, 20 carts full, holding up the line, taking everything off the shelf, one room full of crap couponer. I use coupons to get awesome deals at a grocery store that people usually think is expensive. I do have a stock pile of things but I got them for dirt cheap or free so you can't pass that up.
I am in the process of losing weight. Not only for a more healthier me but for another reason to be explained later. I have been recording my calories and exercise using My Fitness Pal. If you are trying to lose weight, it's a great help! It has made me realize that I don't have to limit myself when trying to lose weight and that will help me stay on track. Here will be a place where I can lay it all out there to keep myself accountable for my choices.
I have been married to Lee for 2 years. From time to time, I look at him and think "I'm married?!" I was under the mindset that if it happens, it happens. Then throw in a little fear of getting hurt, therefore liking unavailable guys even though I would get hurt anyway but all the while making sure I finished school in the event that my eventual husband turned into an ex-husband and I didn't want to be dependent on his alimony because I couldn't support myself. Two notes: I'm not applying this to Lee so I don't have the future ex-husband in my mind and this was my own personal reason so it doesn't apply to your life or how I view your decisions. So all in all, I still find it hard to believe that I am in a domestic setting.
One husband. One stubborn wiener dog. One crafty wiener dog. Two crazy cats. One house. One blossoming career. All that is missing is the 2.5 kids, right? That brings me to the other reason for exercising. The looming cloud of possible infertility. All those years of not exercising after a childhood of swimming (despite what my mom says, we were at practice every single day) has caught up with me and my ovaries. I found out that I possibly have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and an insulin resistance. Both of which are tied together and could cause me not to ovulate thus making becoming a gestational carrier much harder. Here would be a place to vent because usually I hold things in. So we will see what happens. I go in for blood tests tomorrow and will have an ultrasound of my malfunctioning uterus next week. On the plus side, by not getting pregnant right away, I am able to reach my weight goal much faster!
Well that was long.
