Wishing you all Peace, Love, and Happiness

I remember last time i was 8 months along i was suddenly ready to start a killer workout program.  Something about the lack of mobility in that last month drove me crazy.  So this time around…I should never start a sentence out that way.  I’m going to design a fitness program (fitness meaning nutritional, physical, financial, mental, and social) to guide my next 9 months.

Nutritional Fitness – Eat

My appetite is basically gone with “morning” (24 hour nausea) accepted as part of the deal.  So my goal is to eat…So far the only things that sound good are, saltines, spaghetti sauce, apple sauce, pears, salad, and ginger ale.

Physical Fitness – 5 days a week 5 min

I’ve been using moving, unpacking, and stress as an excuse not to exercise.  Moving ok but the other two don’t count.  I’m going to start out with 5 days a week for 5 min.  Weird but realistic.  3 days a week for 30 min is just too sporadic i’m going to form a daily habit, so daily is what i’m shooting for.

Financial Fitness – Update Budget and Stick to It (Cash for groceries and wants so i know when I’m running low)

So we need to put a yard in come spring or all the dirt will turn to weeds in two weeks and we’ll get fined. So other than that i need to make sure i have standard reserve min $1000 wile paying off remaining debt, and two months rent for the condo we’re renting out.  We made sure when we bought that if we had to we could pay both the mortgages, but the reserve makes it so we don’t have to live on ramen if it’s just a few months gap in tenants.  Also a reserve for baby bills.  So there is really no budget for yard, but we need to put a basic one in.  Yea i would love to deck it out but if i need to and when i have the “cash for luxury” and no debt then i could chose to put my “wants” money towards that.  But for now it’s basic needs and that means grass, minimum required trees, and a spot for a potential swing set, garden, patio, and hot tub.  Not that any of that will happen soon, but that id rather have a patch of dirt for 5-10 years then to have to pay 1000 to re sprinkler and tear out grass that i paid for, until then I’ll just keep it weed free.

Mental Fitness- Acceptance and Relaxation

I’m in the middle of nowhere, stressed (mostly positive) out the wazzo, moved 4 times this year, and have preggo hormones coming out of my ears.  As long as i recognize that and accept that i might be a little blasted i seem to be fine.  If i pull a “I don’t know why I’m always tired, or emotional” then i get all frustrated and down.  So acceptance.  The power to be.  So i will be me and accept all that is going on and be realistic.  I will lose it every now and then, and that my rational is way out of whack.  I will relax when i’m tired, take a nap, lie down, take a deep breath, take a bath, and accept that life it life.

Social Fitness -Reach Out To New Friends

It’s way to easy for me to be anti social.  I like to walk by the beat of my own drum so to say, so joining a “group” is just not something i do well.  I do have a few friends who are just like me and we just keep in touch every now and then, were all very low maintenance, but at the same time there is almost nothing we could do to offend each other.  No drama except helping each other thru life’s blegh. So, I’m going to keep drumming (so to say), but keep looking for more friends who are…awake.  You know, not lemmings, people who are open minded, but have a mind of their own, and see things outside the box.  The best part of all my friends here who i found thru the web.

Summary…there’s not one, this was one long winded post.  It was good to get it out.  I’ll be doing that a lot, because i’ve been internet deprived for 2 months i have a lot to get out.  So, thanks for listening.

Love ya all,

Krystal

Finally. Talk about a small town. It took 4 weeks to get internet set up and by that time we found a house, and decided to wait another month to get it set up with a better company…bla bla bla but the point it i have internet.

It’s been crazy the past few months and now….I’m Pregnant! Not a surprise it was all part of the crazy plan.

We felt it was time to have another baby but weren’t sure how we could afford it. We took a leap of faith and decided to go for it and the next day is when he got the call about this new job.

Life seems to get out of balance, and this year has been a good example of how if I’m paying attention it eventually balances out the good with the bad, and i never get more then i can handle. Well I’m still here right. Sometimes it’s 2 years of bad luck with the balance happening somewhere in between or years after. It was nice for once to have an obvious reminder that life is in balance. I’m extremely grateful for everything in my life the good the bad everything.

Excited to catch up with all of you.
