Shopping

This weekend went pretty quickly, they seem to always go pretty quickly.

Friday night we had our 2nd of 3 homestudy interviews. This one was intense.  She had us meet with her separately and asked way more than I was prepared for. It’s not that it was overly intrusive (though some might feel that way) it was just long, and she asked hard questions that I don’t like to have to come up with on the spot! Some of the questions included:

• “Discuss a time you showed emotional maturity”
• “Tell me about a time you’ve shown commitment.” (I’ve been married for almost 7 years, does that count?)
•  ”Who will be your babysitter when you and your husband need to go on a date?” (Um, well, I have no idea, I don’t have a child yet so I haven’t lined up a baby sitter… I volunteered mom and dad). 

All in all – it was too much thinking for a Friday night for me!

Sunday we went to my parents to help work on their computer, and we had the best dinner at Firebirds.  Oh man what an awesome place! An Akron location would be nice, hint hint. 

I decided to start the Jillian Michael’s Body Revolution challenge on Sunday.  I like working out on Sunday’s – I like to think it sets a good pace for the week.  I originally was not going to do the jump start program, but after doing Phase one, workout one – I decided to do the cardio disc as well.  I did about 20 minutes of it, the second round of suicides did me in. Whew, those are no joke!

I was a sweaty mess when all was said and done!

Wore my garmin and plan to try and document it as I go, I posted this on instagram.

I also was reading some new blogs yesterday, and one left me feeling angry. It’s a woman who is getting weight loss surgery and was explaining her choice (which, I might add, she had previously lost a ton of weight, and gained it back, leaving her at this choice).  I didn’t care about that, that’s her choice – but something she said angered me.  She said she wanted to be an athlete   She wanted to be a real yogi and a teacher, and she can’t be either of those at her weight.  WHAT?  I can’t be a yogi overweight? Sure, there are poses I can’t do, but that has less to do with my weight and more to do with my lack of flexibility.  Being a “yogi” is so much more than the poses, and she’s missing the point.  I instantly hit close on her blog, and hope I never stumble on it again.  Maybe it’s me being a bitch (hey, it happens)  but I have zero desire to support someone like that.  I feel like that’s the biggest cop out I’ve ever read.

Another busy week ahead, no Menu Monday because I haven’t been trying new recipes
