Well, I completed my first real week of flying. (The cleaning end anyway :) )
I am quite happy with the results. I stuck with it, did a load of laundry every day, made the bed and stayed on schedule. It helps too that Al is so appreciative of my efforts!
Today we went to NYC to see Phantom. I got up late (yeah, what else is new) and when we were halfway there I realized I didn't make the bed! Al said what's the big deal? Guess it wasn't but to me it was. I made that stupid bed every day this week and now I forgot!!
Guess what I did as soon as we got home just a little bit ago? Yep, I made the damn bed! Al laughed, said he couldn't believe I was doing this at 7 PM, but I felt I had to. Guess this is starting to sink in!
Now if I can just remember where that damn grocery store is!

Thanks to Dawn
My husband actually had a home cooked meal when he got home tonight. First time since the boys left! I must say, he enjoyed taking me to dinner so much while we had this time together, but it does get a bit old after awhile.
Dawn grabbed me on messenger this morning (before it crashed) and told me to toss my roast in the crock frozen! Popped it on high like she said and it was done when Al got home! He was very surprised. I told him to say a big thankee to Dawn!
House is clean, surface clean anyway. Everyone is so right. Sure makes a difference and makes it easier to keep going when your hubby compliments you as soon as he walks in the door! I hope I can keep this up once the boys come home. They can mess up a clean house faster than any kids I know.
Hope everyone is well. Glad you got your computer going angel.

i'm in shock!
well in a month i have lost a total of 19 pounds and 27 1/4 inches! i really didn't think i had lost that many inches. i have been bad and not exercised, but pretty much stuck to my diet. i have cheated a few times, but got right back on the diet. i litterally almost fainted when my inches were taken. i am so happy i could do a jig!
i was talking to Neal today and we both decided that i need to go to school part time. i need to get out of the house and do something for me. for the past 10 years my life has revolved around first my autistic son and now both he and my spoiled rotten daughter. i don't care if i get dressed during the day. i don't care if i even go outside to see if the sun is shining. i don't care if i even go over to my mom's house and she only lives 150ft away from me. so, we both decided that i absolutely have no life and i need to get one. my mom told me i needed to find something i liked to do and go with that. it hit me like a ton of bricks. i don't know what i like to do anymore. i haven't thought about it in so long that i just don't know. we can't afford for me to start any classes this semester, so i guess i will be thinking and seeing what i like to do.
the house is far from perfect, but it is comming together. slowly but surely. i want it to be done NOW, but of couse i have to do it and it isn't getting done as fast as i want. i still have a lot to do, but it isn't like it has been in the past and i know that if i keep plugging away at it, it will get clean. one day.
my bathroom floor has been wet for the past few weeks. we couldn't find the source of the water, but i think i found it today. my A/C! water is pouring under the trailer. Neal will have to get under there tomorrow and see if he can fix it, if not i have to call the guy that put it in for us. i think the dog probably hit something and broke it. Neal even changed the seal on the toilet today thinking that was where the water was comming from. He said that he waisted that 86 cents LOL
i don't know how to post the chart with my measurements, but as soon as i learn i will post them. i am so happy i have done this. i just can't believe that i have lost so much so fast!
take care and keep on soaring!!

Sorry if I am getting on your nerves....
I really think I can do this, this time. Taking is just a little a day really makes a difference, doesn't it? Before I threw myself all in and got the entire house sparking, then it would go to pot so fast and I would say the hell with it.
This way, a little a day, it will stay kept up I think and I won't have to throw myself in like a nutcase. Nice and steady. Never made sense before but it does now. Yeah, I have a long way to go to have a totally clean house, you still can't go upstairs or in the family room, the what you see when you walk in..living room, dining table, kitchen are nice and neat.
Got my morning routine done and did the dusting and vacuuming in the living room, washed the kitchen floor (glad I picked up a swiffer mop) and the load of laundry is done and put away. I am tempted to do another, but I know me and it will sit in the dryer anyway. I will stay on my schedule and do another tomorrow. Oh yeah, made the bed too!
Sorry if I am posting too much with details that are only exciting to me, but I wanted to share. I think this kind of daily report will help me stay on track. I'll have to chage things slightly when the boys come home and I have to start cooking again, but I have another week to settle into this then I can add the cooking crap.
AND, it's only 2:30! WOW BTW...my stupid messenger won't open so please don't think I am hiding. I an determined to figure that baby out too.

I'm such an evil person LOL
Sunday, I had finished putting the groceries away, and was sitting around watching a dvd. I couldn't decide if I felt like going walking or not. My walking buddy called. She was on her way back from a long weekend of motorcycle training classes that she teaches. She'd been on her feet all day, both days, was tired and hungry. I said "I am trying to decide if I want to go walking or not".
She says "Well, I'm still in town."
I said "do you want to go?"
She says "sure, why not".
SHE SAID YES.
So I threw my sneakers back on and was out the door. I got there and pretty much had to pry her out of her car. LOL We started walking, and I explained the whole reversing the coarse thing. She was very whiny, very tired and overall, being a pain in the ass. Mostly like just as much as I am some days when I just don't FEEL like being there ;)
So, we walked. At the top of the first hill, which really is very gradual, I thought I'd have to get behind her to push her up. We walked on. Then we got to the next part where we have to walk DOWN a very steep hill, but very short. Again she complained "I'm tirrrred, my feet hurrrrrtt". LOL That's nice.
See, on those first days when we first started walking, I was whiny too. I wasn't used to the exercise, and my shins killed me. My feet killed me. The heat killed me. I hate sweating. You name it, I complained. BUT I WALKED. She encouraged me. Well, on those days, when she's marching along to her own little drummer, I'd tell her PAYBACK'S A BITCH! And so I am ;)
So on Sunday, I paid her back.
With interest ;)
We finished our 2 mile walk and I told her she'd thank me. lol That night, she logged onto the group chat that we have each week and told everyone how I'd TORTURED her. lol
The next day, she called (she apparently had decided she DIDN'T hate me afterall) and we tried to go walking, but the rain storms had other ideas. But it was nice to give back all that ENCOURAGEMENT that she'd given me lol
I just had to share ;)

I DID IT
I got my lazy non-morning arse out of bed early enough to not only get ready for work, but do my morning routine too!
I always let the dog out when I get up so I have to go thru the laundry room. I grabbed a load of laundry and stuck it in the washer. Went back upstairs and MADE THE BED! I remember how! Looks nice too...lol.
I only work around the corner and up the street so I came home at lunch and threw the wash into the dryer and stuck in some towels. Once I got home, before I did ANYTHING, I got the clothes out of the dryer, transferred the towels to the dryer, went directly upstairs to fold and put away. IT'S DONE! Another WOW.
I don't have an evening routine yet other than just picking up and cleaning the sink. I think I will add getting the next days clothes sorted and ready to go into Mr. Washer.
I drank the stupid water and peed all damn day! I'll probably wet the bed tonight and hubby will think I am into some new kinky thing..LMAO. AND, I brought home a stupid tape meausre so tomorrow I will do that horrid deed.
Day one went great. I feel good. It really does make a difference just making your bed, even tho the stupid dog likes to sleep under the covers and messed it up. I fixed it..lol. I am really going to try to join the confab tomorrow.
Thanks for all the tips and encouragement. I think this time I just may succeed!

A Decent Day
Grocery store got put off for another day! This we can get away with when there are no kids in the house and you have a hubby that loves to take you out to eat! Soon to end, the boys return on the 13th. It was terrific while it lasted.
I did get A LOT done in Jacob's 'new' room. Moved the furniture, put his stereo in, his clothes. All I have to do now is have Al put his futon together. I want to get both boys new comforter sets so that's on the To Do list for next week. I will wait to get the beds made up until right before they come home.
I fixed my vacuum cleaner. I am so hard on them. I suck up whatever is on the floor and can't understand why the stupid thing chokes! I need one of those vacuums that can suck up a bowling ball.
Have you ladies called my husband? LOL. Our kitchen table is a lovely Hot Spot. For whatever reason this is the catch all place for everything. Well, hubby informed me today that he was cleaning it and it needs to stay clean cause it's the one thing that drives him nuts. He went on to say to help motivate me, he will gladly give me 5 every time it's cluttered again! LMAO. I guess that's fair and today all the stuff there was mine, but still. LOL.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Monday comes all too soon and it's my long day at work. I set up my Monday's to be light. My morning routine of 1) Making the bed 2) tossing in a load of laundry and 3) Attempting to drink the crappy water.

Supermarket(s):
Spaghetti squash
green peppers

I LOVE all these fresh veggies in my house. It makes me feel good to know that this stuff was PICKED this morning! Now hopefully, I won't let it sit around for 2 weeks lOL
As a shittin sidenote - I was just looking at my receipt and realized I picked up the ORGANIC grapes instead of the ones on sale. OMFG - I paid $6 for 2 lbs of grapes. DAMN. Grrrrrrrrr
Anyways, I'm looking forward to this week, at least food wise LOL

I Love My Flybaby!
Thanks so much, she is really cute. I guess I am official now! Whoo Hoo.
Confession is good for the soul so they say so here goes. Another day of NOTHING. Well, nothing and something. I guess I should say here that my husband is a big and wonderful help. He is not a neat freak, but he is more motivated then I am in every way. His attitude is..."Yep, it sucks, just get it done!" Makes sense.
So, I didn't make the bed cause on the weekends when the kids are gone we are in and out of it all day long.. No sense in re-making it over and over and over is there? I didn't have to clean cause Al, ever the early bird got up and got that done before my eyes even opened! Yes, I am lucky. That counts too right? :)
We TRIED to go to Cosco. Having never been before we had to get a card. There is nothing in life I hate more than shopping so I was in a pissy mood as soon as we walked out the door. Get there, stand in this huge line just to get up there and get the application. We filled that baby out just to find out you can't pay with a credit or debit card. Cash or American Express only! WTF?
We left and they can kiss my ass before I will go back! Talk about putting me in an even worse mood. BUT, I did TRY..lol.
We ended up at the library, this helps a bad mood for me. Had lunch, came home and took a nap. We will try the grocery thing again tomorrow. I also have to get my ass going on finishing Jacob's room. Since Gabbie moved out, he is moving into her room. They all left for the summer in June and this room is barely started. I have two more weeks!
Does anyone else have a really hard time getting anything done when their hubby is home? As bad as I am, I am worse if he's here. I just want to play!

Defeating Lazy Bitchitis
So, i had my day in the barrel today. i didn't want to do a damn thing. But, my fellow flybabies came to the rescue. millie pep talked me on IM and finally Dawn called my lazy ass and said get up!!! And, i did. i got my house cleaned. And, i'm going for a walk. Thank you flybabies! i've had this disease (lazy bitchitis) for years. But, i think i've finally found the cure. You guys!!!
i still haven't weighed. i want to. J weighed at work and lost three more pounds. If his cheating ass lost three more pounds i should have done well too. i want to know. i think i may ask his mom to borrow her car and take off to weigh.
Update: i weighed. 251. Oh, okay, 251.8.

Question
Does anyone know how to get hard water stains to come out of your toilet? I guess they are hard water stains, I really don't know what hard water is, but they say we have it here in Jersey.
I scrub and scrub. I let bleach sit in the toilet forever, then scrubbed some more. I got most, but not all and it looks gross. AND, I clean the toilet often so I can't believe it's building up like this. Maybe it would be easier to buy a new one! LOL
One other question. I can't copy the table for the measurements. I am computer brain dead. Is there a way to send it to me? Or can I send someone my stupid measurements to add to the table? Or maybe we can just forget about it. WEG
Thanks.

what a surprise
So I had a crappy day. Didn't have any motivation, for whatever reason. I did what was necessary (dishes, etc.) the bed is always made as soon as I get up. My son swept the floors. But that was basically it. I did the dishes again after I went for my walk and got back, I felt better. Cleaned off my desk and just sort of chilled out, watching a movie. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.
I did measure again and found an inch missing from my HIPS! YEEEHAWWWW
I think reversing the direction of the of my walk helped.
Ok, in any case, way to go with your choice to quit smoking, nikki! I'm very proud of you!
we can do this, ladies :)

Today sucked
Nothing like having to admit you missed your easy goals on your first day out! I went at it full force yesterday and felt like I could do it all.
Today, the simple thing of making our bed didn't even get done! I am NOT a morning person and this moring routine is going to be the hardest of all for me. I made it out of bed with enough time to shower, put on my face so not to scare the children, get dressed and get out! Thank goodness I only work around the corner and up the street!
No bed made. I did declutter a little bit when I got home and went thru the mail. I have no energy left. Work sucked it all out. So easily the "I'll start tomorrow" went through my head again. I need to force myself to do the bedtime routine tonight. That may redeem me a little.
Get the whip out Dawn. I never got a chance to weigh today at work. Well, you know how long that takes! LOL. AND, I ate two packages of cupcakes when I got home because I worked longer than I expected and was starving. And WATER? I bathe in it, I do not drink it..lol.
Guess I will go stand in the Soar Corner until you decide whether to throw me out on my lazy, unmotivated badorkus or not! Tomorrow will be a better day. Won't it?

Welcome Kay
Just wanted to add my welcomes Kay. You'll notice my posts are hit and miss at best. I am so busy lately that if I don't remind myself, I'll forget to breathe.
On a more uplifting note, I have lost 6 more pounds and am down to 210 at the moment. I am hoping it continues. I am still struggling with the water, but, I am still determined to keep it up.
Tonight is the night that Chris takes his final for Anatomy and Physiology and that means that in the next two days we will quit smoking. I hope we can survive each other. Say a prayer for us will ya?
Well, as usual, I'm heading out for work. Keep flying ladies, and Kay, it is no joke that I unpacked our entire apartment 15 minutes at a time. These ladies will keep you going. Watch out for Dawn's whip, it bites.
>huggles everyone<

Hello and thank you
Before I go to bed I wanted to say thanks and hello. Thanks to Dawn and Phoenix for all their help getting me here. I look forward to getting to know everyone and getting out from under the mess. Of my house and my life..lol.
I made a big post on my blog about how I decided to get it together today once and for all. I won't repeat it here. At the time I didn't know how to post here!
I am going to take baby steps and get a stupid tape measure. I will have measurements that are more to Dawn's liking and not the one's I use in my world. It will be next week because I refuse to do this with my husband looking. Well, maybe I can fit it in tomorrow.
Friday's goal...making my bed, decluttering and actually making a grocery list. That is a big enough baby step. I've only been in the grocery ONCE since my kids left for the summer..lol. Yes, I should be embarrassed.
Thanks again and it's great to be here.

YAY!!!
I'd like to extend a big HUG and a great big welcome to our newest member, KAY!
She needs our help to get some control into her life, fellow flybabies.
Kay, first thing you need to do is get yourself a timer! We can do anything for 15 minutes at a time. Just ask nikki, who got her whole apartment unpacked, 15 minutes at a time!
Then, as I said, get those measurements & weight to me, so we can add you to our fly baby roll.
Please, feel free to post any time you want/need to. We're here to help. And don't forget that yahoo messenger. It's a big help!
Again, I'm glad you're here ;)
