Winter sucks. Plain and simple. And I don’t like this freezing weather in October already. A move to Beaufort, South Carolina doesn’t look like it will happen. I have it too good at IU Creative Services to leave. Maybe IU should open up a Tropical Campus?
Well. This summer has been busy, but it looks as though July and August will be so busy I’m not sure if sleep will be possible. I’m really enjoying my new responsibilities at IU and all the XSLT and PHP I’m doing, but with the amount of work to do during my “day job” my other job, iBarnett is starting to get pushed back later and later at night/morning.
Wish me luck!!!
It’s been 90+ degrees lately, and though I’ve always loved this kind of weather, being fatter than I have ever been before, I’m not enjoying it now. So, yes, again I will claim to lose weight on my blog. I signed up for the “Step into Fit” program at IU and have a pedometer. Now, I need to figure out a way to trick this thing so it looks like I walked a lot.
Well, summer is starting up and our busy schedule is filling up to capacity. With horseback riding lessons, baseball games, yardwork, iBarnett work, IU work, Regnum Christi, toddler stage for Gabby, and new baby things it’s shaping up to be super busy this summer.
So, on the fat end of things. I’ve reached an all-time high (or low, depending on how you look at it). I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been. 230 lbs now! So, almost able to be “The Biggest Loser” contestant, but not quite there. So, I’m looking at doing a few home-workout things to get started. Affording a gym membership and my major time-constraints just won’t work in my schedule yet. I’ll need to sleep at some point, not wanting to cut into the 4-6 hours a night I get now. So, anyone out there with a good home-remedy for fat-man syndrome, let me know. Here’s what I’m looking at as possibilities so far:
WORKOUTS
FOOD
As many of you may know, we like to born our babies at home. Gabby’s birth was the hardest by far and really made us second-guess the next birth at home. Then came Michael, and along with his death, Kristi almost died as well after bleeding out. This was the icing on the cake for me, so I thought.
After much discussion with Kristi, a nurse-midwife at a local doctor’s office, and our long-time midwife, we have decided that we are going to homebirth again. Obviously, this all depends on how the pregnancy goes, and we are monitoring this pregnancy very closely. But if all goes well, we are doing another homebirth. We have confirmed, through a number of tests, that Kristi does NOT have a bleeding problem and that Michael’s case was a common case where Kristi’s body was not ready to give birth and did not have the extra blood supply needed to give birth, hence, her bleeding out. This has put my mind at ease and allowed me to feel comfortable with another homebirth.
So, I just ask that you all pray for us as you can so we can have a nice, natural, non-eventful, homebirth.
