Split Screen Love.

Who doesn't enjoy a good love story from time to time. Especially one that is told creatively through video.  That's my kind of story.

Math never sounded so good...

Michael Blake's newest composition. Now I am not a mathematician....not even close. So for me to try and explain what Tau is and how it works, well....I will let the video take care of that. Incredibly interesting and I thought quite beautiful.

Booyah!

Koen finally did it! He made it through my whole workout and then some! damn he is awesome! He is still upset when I drop him off. But today when I went back to get him he was actually running around playing! not just sitting on one of the caregivers knees. He was playing and having a great time and could have cared less that I was there! I never thought I would be so happy to have my son not care that I was around. How proud I am that he has conquered this hurdle. We celebrated with a trip down the toy isle. He totally earned it!

Online home search, never disappoints.

Koen and the Gym

Koen has finally come to terms with going to the gym! hallelujah! can I get an Amen! He still cries when I drop him off, but then he is fine. I am so damn proud of that kid I can't even put into words. I feel like it has taken forever to get to this point but I don't care! no more (hopefully) going to the gym twice a day just to finish my workout. it's the little things ya know. But thanks again to everyone for all the great advice and encouraging words!

I never joined the girl scouts. I don't trust any organization that has a handbook...

Happy Anniversary!

Four years ago today, I married the love of my life. I am so very fortunate to have someone like him to share my life with. He puts up with me at my craziest of moments. He laughs at all my lame ass jokes. He always knows when to listen and when I need the honest truth. He can pick me up when I am down and celebrate with me during the greatest of victories. He pushes me to always be my best, and believes in me, even when I do not. Truth is, I admire him in so many ways. He is an amazing person. He is my best friend. Our life together has always been an adventure and one I never want to end. Cheers to us, may we never take each other for granted. May we always remember the little things and never go to bed angry. May we always keep our brutal honesty and passion for inner happiness and a home a filled with love. Cheers my love.

Koen hates the gym

So for the exception of a couple missed days. I have been sticking with my original plan to take Koen to the gym everyday. The girls there remember him now (of course) but still no progress. Not really anyway. Today I dropped him off and went to do my cardio. once I was done I went to grab my bag and go get Koen. I managed to do all of that before the Kids Club called me so that's good?. But when I went in to grab him he was pretty upset. Poor kid. I wish there was something I could do for him to make it easier, but unfortunately he will have to work this out on his own.

As promised :)

Ok so I am a little weird about my food these days. Partly because I have read way too much about how are fruit and vegetables are grown and what they put on them. I feel the same about my meat. Now I'm not going to go out and handcuff myself to a tomato plant or a bovine or anything. But I think it is good to know where your food comes from, how it is grown and what it is treated with. I will post the clean list later when it is available. Enjoy

Progress

11 minute mile!!!! I jogged or ran the entire time! Phew, Ya know, going from a pack a day smoker who ate terrible and never exercised. Today is a triumphant day for me! And the best part....I could have kept going! Man, progress feels amazing!.

I am working on some paintings right now. It has been such a long time since I have painted so I have a feeling the first few maybe hit or miss. But I am excited. Pics to come soon.

The infographics don't lie

Draw your own conclusions. You don't need me to tell you what I think.

Work in progress

Koen is still working on his separation issues. We go to the gym everyday now. I am trying to make it just another part of his routine. He still can't make it the duration of my workout. Which is unfortunate but hey! were workin' on it! A very big "A" for effort though. It would be much easier if the caregivers would, oh... I don't know, try a little harder? I mean you can't find a way to distract a 15 month old? I am confident if they tried to play with him a little or show him a different toy etc. he would probably be fine. But.....since they don't we will just have to work around it. He's good for about 15 min. Let's hope next week maybe we can make it 20.
