Let's Turn this Mother Out!

Why have a blog if I don't use it!  I find myself using Facebook as a blog or even a as Twitter account and nobody wants to read all of that!  Today's inspiration for renewing my dedication to this little blog is accountability!  For those of you who actually have a genuine interest in my life outside of EOY, much will be made available here.  Most importantly, however, the house of EOY is making a life change and I want to share it with any of you who might be interested!  I need you to keep me accountable!  This is NOT a judge-free zone!  If you feel like I'm slacking, read me for FILTH! ;)
I am at the highest number I've EVER weighed in my life!   It's got to stop!  I have WAY too much going for me to let 150 pounds stand in my way!  Yes, I'm ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY pounds overweight!  I don't necessarily want to lose 150 because I can't think of the first thing attractive about bones!  My goals are to sit comfortably in a movie theater, to not have to look for the biggest size in nearly every retail store I shop, to slide into a restaurant booth with plenty of room to spare, and to climb a flight of stairs without feeling like it would be my last flight!  I want to buy new clothes because all of the clothes I own are too big, not the opposite!
My partner and I are embarking on some pretty great changes!  We are fasting from restaurants 6 days out of the week!  There will be NO packages of cookies bought because there will be no beaching on the couch and devouring the whole package!  30 minutes of exercise per day is a MUST!  Fat just isn't ok.  It's not.  I don't care how comfortable you claim to be in your skin.  My body is ANGRY at me!  My heart is at CONSTANT risk for disease!  Fat rolls aren't meant to be shared, whole grain wheat rolls are! :)  
So, you guys are CORDIALLY invited to pester the HELL out of me!  Ask me if I exercised today!  Ask me if I cheated on healthy food choices.  Ask me how many pounds I've lost!  
Maybe you have some difficult choices to make too and need someone to help keep YOU accountable!  Let's team up!  We're gonna DO the damn thing!!

There aren't words..

Had you told me a week ago what my life would look like today, I would have given you classic Jen-eye and asked but surely enough, Friday afternoon after a whirlwind 48 hours of what ifs, a bright, beautiful, smart, insightful, loving, hilarious little girl moved into our home!  We survived our first weekend quite swimmingly if I do say so myself!!  I really struggled with how it would feel to have a child around full time and if I really had that "parenting thing" in me.  Do I ever!  Both of us have adapted quite nicely to our roles and for as long as God will keep her here, we're looking forward starting our new family in our new house as if we're new creatures!  Hard to remember what our boring lives were like pre-kiddo! ;)

My heart is pounding, my palms are sweating, my mind is racing, and my cup is running over!  Yesterday I was just a wife!  Today I'm a Mommy!  Today my life changes forever and I'm already so in love with this girl I can't handle it!  Today is a good day!  Today is the day I add the title of "Mom" to my self-description! Our home was owned before us by a fellow Foster Mom.  She has been a great support to me over the past two weeks and shared this with me yesterday! My life will undoubtedly be changed, and undeniably for the better!   Is she here yet?????

My past does NOT define me!

Those of you who are new to the party of getting to know me might be surprised to know that I've had a bit of a shaky past. Tumultuous failed relationships, perpetual, chronic bouts with poor health, and some pretty early abandonment issues. The fact that almost everything in my life is sailing along more perfectly than the best dream right now is nothing short of a miracle! I've fallen hard for partners who viewed me as less than, and I've invested countless energy, finances, and time in dead-end friendships. It's still hard for me to look at my life and accept that it's real and truly happening to me! So let's get to the point, eh? Until about 5 years ago, due to health-related reasons, it seemed like more of a risk for me to drive a car than it was worth, so I didn't. I got by just fine without one. I started working from home, made a decent enough wage to get by, and even when I had "outside" jobs, for the most part, I made it work. F...
