For the past two weeks the spouse and I have been rolling out of bed at 6am to Taebo. Facing uber-fit workout gurus Billy and Shellie Blanks first thing in the morning (prior to coffee) is a daunting task, but I have managed to do it. "They" say that it takes 21 days to form a habit, so I'm hoping by the end of next week I'll be more apt to stick with this in the long run. I'm still working out a couple nights as well. So far? The spouse has lost three pounds, and I've gained one.

Yeah, don't feed me that shit about muscle weighing more than fat and all that.... I KNOW muscle weighs more and it burns more calories and it looks better than the cottage cheese butt I'm currently sporting. BUT, I still need the numbers on the scale to go down as well.

Patience, Ang. Patience.

In other news fronts, I received notice that my daughter's after school care is closing. She's a fourth grader and a VERY mature ten year old. What's everyone's opinion on allowing her to stay at home from 3:00 to 5:15 by herself? We're gonna give it a try and see how things go, but I am having a hard time feeling okay with this. Groovn-spouse and I still both tend to be overprotective. I mean, Chloe is our only child, a beautiful baby girl, and I still can't wrap my head around the fact that she is starting to get boobs and hair everywhere. AND she started her period!!

I mean, I look like a young twenty something. (nudge nudge wink wink) I CAN'T possibly have a daughter that looks thirteen!

Wish me luck on the working out thang. It's almost bathing suit weather and I have seven more weeks before leaving for Cozumel.
