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.

Good for you on Taebo-ing it out of bed each morning. It sucks that men lose weight faster than women do. And I hate the old muscle-weighs-more-than-fat argument as well.
Regarding your daughter. Hmm. That's a difficult one that obviously only you and your hubby can decide. If she's very mature, I wonder if you have a neighbor who can kind of keep an eyeball on the house the first couple of days/weeks just to make sure no fire is coming out of the windows and such.
Could you maybe have a "tutor" a chick who is 16 or so come over and help her with her homework who you could pay a couple dollars an hour until she gets used to it?
Good luck.
We're letting it go on a day to day basis. Some days (if the weather is ugly) then I tell her Mom needs to pick her up and she can come to my office. Luckily there are three other kiddos in the neighborhood that walks home, so she's just THRILLED to be able to 'be a walker' a few days each week.
You can do it!!!
I am still stumped over the groovngirl being 13. WHAT?!?!?!?!
ok the BABYgroovngirl though I know you look 13 as well. No. Really. ;)
