back to the daily grind...

Yesterday the boys went back to school from a nice ten day break. I really enjoyed the time that we were able to spend. We had a great time at the zoo, had a great time camping, and fun hanging out around the house. I think that our camping experience will be one that is repeated. It's amazing how we can just go a few miles away and feel like we're no where near home...and spend very little money while we're at it. Well, I say spend little money. We did spend quite a bit this time, but I don't think it will happen again. We bought a new tent the first day we went out. After the first night, we went and bought a few more things. I just about left in the middle of the night because I was so cold, so I bought a new sleeping bag that was supposed to withstand 40 degree weather. We also bought an air mattress so we didn't have to sleep on the ground. It really hurt the hubby's back. It was much warmer the second night with those things and a heater in the tent. The boys loved camping and fishing. They had a great time and it made for great memories. Being back in the swing of things, we've been having our typical morning struggles. We're going to have to change something so things will be smoother. The youngest couldn't find his shoes because the oldest threw them in their room somewhere which is a total pit. They're supposed to clean it tonight. I've already warned them that if it's not cleaned tonight that I'll come in tomorrow and get rid of some things. That's normally incentive enough for them to get it done. 

On another note, I was watching tv on Sunday afternoon and was totally sold by an infomercial. This happens often, but I can normally resist the temptation of buying. So, what did I buy? I bought the 10 minute trainer. It's supposed to be a pretty good system. I've already been exercising, so it should be a supplement to that. I'm glad that I'm finally feeling motivated to do something. I really want to get this weight off and get toned. I can definitely tell a difference in how I feel and I actually want to exercise now. It feels good after doing it. I want to see myself in the mirror and like what I see. I was thinking about writing a blog about my experience with the 10 minute trainer program. I've really wanted to see something like that. You know, those real people with real results. I'm ready for it to come in so I can see it work for myself. They say you can lose a pant size in 10 days. We'll see...
