Hi. I'm the new kid here. My name is Sassy, and I joined this blog because I need help 27 fling boogying my ass off! About me: I'm 27, happily married with a four year old daughter, a puppy, and a kitten. I don't have my stats yet, because aforementioned four year old decided at one point to use our scale as a trampoline....buuuut, I promise to have them soon. This morning I got up on time, got our daughter ready for preschool, then 27 fling boogied my way through our bedroom! I usually use the time before work for a quick walk, but hubby needed the bedroom seen to - and cleaning is exercise, right?
Anyway, I want to say a big thank you for letting me join the blog, and I hope I'll be an asset here.

Don't give up
Well, let's see, I went home yesterday and napped on the couch before work, woke up, went to work and came home to eat real quick and go to bed.Not very productive I know.
Our financial situation is pretty dire right now so once more I am going to be taking extra hours at work. Not as many as before, but, it means I will be working 6 days a week instead of just 5. Chris and I are trying to work out an agreement that will allow me to change my schedule a bit so that I am not feeling like I am drowning with accomplishing nothing.
Dawn, don't let it get you down. Even if you did gain back a few pounds, it happens. Sometimes we will gain and sometimes we will lose. We have to remember that eating healthy and excersising is going to benifit us in many other ways.
Speaking of which. A couple of years ago, they had "Office Aerobics" for people who worked in offices. It was things they could do while stuck in a chair. I have looked and can not find anything on this, so if anyone has any information about it or can recall what some of the techniques were I'd surely appreciate it as I am stuck in a chair almost 10 hours a day and I'm sure that doesn't help my weight.
On the plus side, this makes three days in a row that I've posted and I am falling into an easy pattern. I have decided to put blogging as one of my morning routines since I have the extra time and access to the net.
My darling Chris and crew have really bucked up to pick up the slack. It's been great, well, other then the laundry that needs to be put away something fierce. It is spilling down the hallway. Every day I tell myself I will get to it when I get home but because of my lack of sleep and not wanting to doze off at work, I end up taking a nap. Seriously, I need to get new hours at work, this is killing me.
Well, would love to hear how the rest of you are doing, even if you don't post stats. I am hoping this weekend to have Chris measure me since he bought me a new tape measure!

My stats this week
Somehow, I managed to gain back 3 lbs in ONE FREAKIN DAY. I am thinking maybe my scale was wrong last week when I hit the 239 mark, because I didn't do anything differently. In any case... after I stopped being mad (like that happened), I decided to check my measurements (like angel's always telling me) and sure enough, I saw a difference! Woohoo!
I'll be posting some new recipes over at My Tasty Space as soon as I'm done with this. We've been trying a few new things and they've been really good. Keep up the good work, ladies! I've been flying, though not as much as usual. We had a setback last week in the form of some annoyance in our house, but that's been taken care of, and also I'm back on my regular sleep schedule, so that'll help with the total lack of energy, which resulted in me saying "oh the hell with it, it looks good enough".
Onward!

Morning
Wow, two posts in a week, that lone is an accomplishment for me.
Not much is being done around my home, if you read my blog, you'll already know that there has been a death in my family that I am struggling with.
I will be going back to work today, but it has come to my attention that the three hours I spend waiting for Chris while he's in school can be sent accessing my blogs through the school's computers. Hopefully this will make it easier for me to post on days when he has classes.
We spent last evening at my mother in laws doing laundry. It is all washed and dried and all of the kids have put away their stuff. Now I just need to put away our stuff and the towels and sheets.
The real point of bringing that up though was because we had dinner at her house and she made one of the best roasts I've had in a long time. Here is what she threw in the crockpot.
Italian Roast Beef
3# Pot roast (beef works best)
2 packages of dry "Zesty Italian Dressing"
3c water
Vegtables of choice (we had carrots, potatoes and bell peppers)
Throw everything in together. We took the meat and shredded it and used it on buns for sandwiches, mainly to spread out what she had intended as a meal for two into an great meal for seven. It cooked for roughly 7 hours and when we walked in the house smelled heavenly, not to mention how tender and flavorful the meat itself was. Great quick meal.
Hope everyone is doing well.

A welcome and update.
I want to welcome our newest member. If you let this, it will change your life. It has for me and I am so grateful.
My posting has been rather lacking of late. I am suffering from serious health problems, going in and out of the hospital.
At the moment I am recovering from dental surgery where they went in to remove 4 teeth. I am so infected that they almost didn't pull it, which means that I have been on heavy antibiotics as well as pain killers. Makes for a very drowsy Nikki.
I have however, managed to fly a little every day. Even if it is as simple as vacuming the living room.
Sadly, I have gained back another three pounds that I had lost, which takes me up to seven regained.
I hope everyone else is doing better then I am at the moment.
