Issues

I have issues. Well, lots of them. But there's one in particular:

Have you tried the Archer Farms brand of chocolate cookie mix? THEY ARE DELICIOUS.

I like to eat too much. Like way too much. Like the cookies you see in the picture above will be gone by tomorrow.

I hate to exercise. That's a big problem. Well, that combined with enjoying eating a little too much. I tried running for a while. And I built up to about 30 minutes straight, which is pretty good for me. And I joined weight watchers for a few months earlier this year and got down to (well, below for a little while) my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm hovering there still, but would like to get to where I was a few years ago, which means some more poundage to go. 

Anyway, I think I'm done running. I.H.A.T.E.I.T. I tried to like it. I really really did. But I'm over it. And my knees are over it. Especially my right knee that cracks 5 times with every step up or down stairs.

So I decided that I'd walk for 30 minutes a day. On the treadmill or outside with Asher. That went well for two days. But I took today off. The third day I took off. Ugh. I'm not sure that an exercise program exists out there that I am able to stick to.


Maybe I'll pick walking back up tomorrow?

Day 30

Does not (and will not) exist.


Why? You may ask...


Because I said so. (I'm practicing for the very near future.)


Also, because, while I picked out 30 items, I officially only used 29. So THERE. Here's what didn't make it in any of the outfit photos:

I had intended to wear these. But it didn't happen. 

Actually (don't tell anyone), but I DID wear them once during the ~30 days. Along with a blue dress that wasn't in my 30 picks! Yes, I broke the rules. But it was for my sister-in-law's wedding. So deal with it. And earlier that day I DID follow the rules and wear an outfit from my 30 29.

I learned a couple things during this process:


1. I obviously love stripes.


2. Evidently, I love Loft.


3. I hate being confined.


4. I get bored.


5. I don't accessorize as well as I thought.


6. It's hard to look cute at the end of the day when you have an almost-one-year-old, especially when you have to run through a downpour.


7. I can blog somewhat regularly. I'll try to keep this up.

Day 25

Reason #2 for taking photo at the BEGINNING of the day: You may (literally) run through a torrential downpour and be stuck outside the car trying to fold up your newly described MASSIVELY-TOO-LARGE-AND-COMPLICATED stroller to fit into the trunk while your baby sits cozy in the car and you're getting soaked to the bone and your once-cute hair begins to resemble dog's fur, both in look and smell.

Birds

New addition to Asher's bedroom. Bought the fabric months ago, 

finished the project up weeks ago, and finally hung it.

Day 21

What was I thinking wearing this to an outdoor wedding on July 3rd? Dunno is the answer. At least my clothes matched? Oh, and the wedding was fun. :)
