I didn't make it back yesterday with my goal of showering and pics. I ended up doing some work outside and playing and before I knew it, it was time for bed. Today will be like yesterday work out, hope for a shower and some pics. It is another beautiful day here. The summers in Michigan make the winters tolerable.
So I mentioned in my first post about starting another round of IVF. The funny thing about doing it in the spring is I want to really worry about swimsuit season and yet I can't be too strict with my diet because if IVF doesn't work I don't want to look back and wish I had done something different. The reason I mention this is that I have been working out consistently between hot Yoga and the gym yet my diet not following suit. Yesterday it was 2 midday cookies. I have successfully cut all caffeine out of my life including diet coke, and wine has become much more an occasional taste. Yesterday I did 2.50 miles on the treadmill which isn't bad because I hadn't really done any running in weeks. I realized in yoga the other day that my legs are the biggest part of my body but are impossibly weak. I swear i'm the only one in there that can't hold any warrior pose for any length of time. I also said in my first post that turning 40 brought on a calmness but I don't think I can ever make peace with my bigger thighs!
Here is hoping it is nice where you are
Happy Saturday!

It's a Great Day!
I can hardly believe it but the sun is shining in Michigan! And it is supposed to be warm to day. Well about 73 but after the crappy weather we have been having this is paradise. Today's plan includes a workout in my wait for it Lululemon uniform as I call it, a quick trip to the grocery store and hopefully the park. I read a post on one of my favourite blogs Kath Eats the other day about how working out and showering sometimes dictate her day and that definitely is me. I don't shower in the morning because I want to work out. Then with a 3 year old who doesn't nap any longer sometimes it is 7 at night and I haven't showered. So there are definite plans for a shower! I will be back later for another post going to enjoy the sun!

my first blog
I read a ton of blogs everyday and always think I could do that! I love to read about what other people eat, what they wear, and in general a peak into others lives. Sometimes it make's me feel like I'm not doing enough with my life. I am a stay at home mom to a 3 year old girl who is inheriting my love of fashion. The funny part about that love of fashion is that I live in Lululmon these days! Now I do yoga however I wear them whether I am working out or not. I am in a bit of a slump. First the weather has sucked so no inspiration there.
I also have a some issues with spending. My husband makes good money and I am spending way too much. We have way too much stuff!! I look at it all and I am appalled at myself. I feel so guilty yet continue to feel like we need all this stuff. So if anyone is reading this I will post some outfits as well as clothing I would like to sell.
My daughter is my world! She was conceived through IVF and is a miracle! I have been through the process about 10 times and I am about to embark on round 11. It is so physically and emotionally draining but all worth it in the end.
Did I mention that I hit the big 40 last year! It was a turning point for me. A certain calmness that I can't explain. Less anxiety about life in general and yet I still spend and spend. happiness is not on the other side of the Jcrew counter. I am not kidding when I say that I have felt sad standing in line at Jcrew or Anthropologie waiting to pay for something knowing I don't need it but feel like I have to have it. The remorse I feel when I clean out my closet and give clothes to family and charity. Thousands of dollars worth. My goal is to get a handle on this. To not waste any more time on buying and then returning. It really is an energy waster. Buying that dress that will be perfect for that non-exsistent event that never comes. And when an event does come I buy a new dress for that because the other one is old.
There will b lots to come on this space. Product reviews as I love hair and make-up. Clothing sales and recipes as I love to cook.
Hello and welcome if you are still reading,
be back soon!
