Saturday Blog

I really do love Saturdays. I love spending time with my kids. I love cleaning my house. Doing this or that. Going out. Whatever! Saturdays are great. :) I love going to the gym on weekends!

Before we moved here I had planned on only going to the gym Mon-Fri. Only because my husband would be working out of town 4 days out of the week and I would want to spend time with him. That has changed big time. Now I can't imagine NOT going to the gym on weekends. Husband is sedentary. Not active at all and it's starting to bother me big time. But what am I suppose to do about it? I can't do anything but go and do things on my own with my kids. I'm glad I have the gym to go to. :) It's so much better than sitting around watching my husband play his computer games all day long. Ugh! And my kids get to play at the kids club at the gym for an hour or so while I workout. It works out great for us! If anyone else has a husband/SO like this though...I feel your pain.

I went to Body Pump this morning. Came home all energetic and the moment I walk in my door and face my husband, it's as if a lot of that energy gets sucked right out of me. I am bummed he won't get up and suggest things to do. It's just like being in Norway except now I have the freedom to go things on my own. Which I plan on doing!

NO matter what though I have to keep going. I have to keep this energy of mine even though I am faced with negative energy here at home. I just have to keep pushing myself. That's it. That's my way out. I don't know if my husband will ever come around but I know I'll constantly be improving myself. I'm NOT going to go back to sitting on my butt all day in front of a computer. I sit in front of one enough as it is. lol I love my computer! It's brand new. I love Photography and editing photos.

Anyway, enough with the negative. ONTO THE POSITIVE!!!

Here's my breakfast this morning!

Oatmeal with a sprinkle of brown sugar, pecans, and cherries. Yummy! It was really tasty! I counted around 280 calories or so.

I am REALLY starting to love oatmeal/oats. It's becoming my favorite food! That and eggs. And squash!

I LOVE:
-Oats
-Eggs
-Squash, Pumpkin, Zucchini...ALL of those! YUM!


I made Spaghetti Squash for dinner last night. I LOVED IT!!!!!! And here I go again with some negative. Sorry but my husband is starting to annoy me. He HATES anything healthy I make. So he hated the spaghetti squash. Lucky for him I had made regular pasta. But I'm NOT going to next time. Seriously NOT! I'm getting tired of having to make something completely different for him. I'm getting tired of NOT being able to make fish when he is here. I haven't eaten anything fishy for over two weeks. It's always beef, pork, chicken, sometimes turkey. But even turkey he doesn't like all the time. Turkey burgers? Forget it. **sigh** Will this ever get better?? I know he'll never love fish so I'll have to "hang in there" for the rest of my life. But ugh! So many dishes to wash=annoying.

I'm getting healthier and healthier as the months go by. And my husband is staying the same. I talk to him but it goes in one ear and out the other. I tell him just because he is skinny doesn't mean he's healthy. Imagine what he is doing to the INSIDE of his body when he eats junk and doesn't drink water. I can't imagine it. I want to be as healthy as I can be. I LOVE vegetables and would honestly be VERY happy eating nothing but for an entire week! The spaghetti squash last night was SO SATISFYING! And whenever I make eggplant it's so delicious who needs meat!!?? I love veggie soups. I love veggie juice! I love fruit too! I LOVE BEING HEALTHY! I look forward to trying out MORE recipes with nothing but veggies. Yum!

Well I gotta go shower and get ready for the rest of my day. :) My brother and I are going to the movies! And I'm sneaking in my own popcorn ;-) One of those 100 calorie bags of popcorn. Yummy! And I'm also going to see about picking up some supplements. I think I could use them. :) Wouldn't hurt right?
