Randomness....

So what's up!?  How is life treating you?  Are things well?  How are the kids?  How are the pets?
Good to hear, good to hear! :)

Oh you have a little crumb on your cheek there!  No your right cheek...oh there you go!  ;)

I am just settling down after a great work out and a great post work out chat about my new weight regime I am trying to create with the help of a caring and knowledgeable friend!
Like I said 2011 is my year to switch it up, amp it up, be Meggan 2.0!!
(It is pretty bad when you write your own name in your own blog and it gives you the red squiggly underline like it is spelled wrong...bah!)

I actually remember Miss Swaine in the 2nd grade, we had to write out our full name, as we were at that stage of learning the true basics in life.  Now I think my mom may have been on some drugs and my Dad wanted to make me "special" when they picked out the spelling of my first and middle names.  So Meggan, yes two g's!  How many times in my life have I heard "oh two g's, I haven't seen it spelled like that before!"  OMG REALLY, WELL PLEASED TO MEET YOU!   And then my middle name, Dorthy...one 'O'.  Really they should have dropped a consonant and added a vowel but whatever.
Anyway so Miss Swaine, once she saw me write my odd Meggan and then the clearly 'misspelled' Dorthy made me write lines...made me write my name over and over and over.  Damn her eyes.  I tried to plead my case but she wanted none of it!  So I marched home, all scorned and such, and the next day brought in my birth certificate; I needed to prove those lines she had made me write were all for naught.  I expected an apology, at least...I just got kind of a sneer and now as an adult I realize she was probably thinking, "what was this kid's parent's smoking!?"

My new weight routine right now in it's creation stages scares me a bit.  I have had an AMAZING personal trainer in the past, over a year ago now.  I trained with Amanda for about 1.5 years and it was awesome.  She motivated me, she made me laugh, she made me cry, she made me work...and it was a great experience. My fear of this new regime is being able to push myself hard enough.  With the upcoming year and many expenses associated with it, getting another personal trainer just isn't in the cards right now.  I am going to have to dig really deep and find it within myself to get this done.  I also have to think, it will be more than I am doing now.

I am going to keep things to 5 days but two of those days go twice to break up cardio and weights.  So three total days of weights plus pretty much 5 days of cardio, it is going to be SUPER intense and it is going to take a lot of stamina and dedication on my part.  But really, do I want this or do I just want to freaking talk about it?  I hate this saying but truly, I need to get real!!!  So that is in the development stages and I hope to have it in place within a week or two, that should be interesting and I will be sure to blog about my progress!

Wedding planning is coming along marvelously!!  I am so excited!  I know it is only January but that means 221 days and I want it to be stress free so I am planning early to enjoy it at the time!  Although let's be real, for those who know me, I enjoy me a good plan.  I have toned it down from my death grip on needing a plan but I enjoy seeing things come together.  I will be especially proud of this because I have had such a big hand in it, unlike my last nuptials and it is going to be amazing...plus I get to marry my person, eeeek!!!!

On a final note, weight watchers is still going well.  I am down 2.8 pounds in a week, so that was awesome!  I figure I lost a lot of water weight on the cleanse (um yeah) so this might have been actual weight lost this week which is rather exciting and the control is awesome! :)

Ok, that is all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...xx
