Last night I made a choice, to join Weight Watchers!!! I am very excited learned a lot, and am going to make apoint to count my points, and eat what is better choices, and have faith in myself.
I will have faith that I CAN do this, I WILL succeed, and be a better me.
The meeting was about an hour, (dont always have to stay but it is a WISE idea!) I will stay for the meetings till I have my food addiction under control.. and truely thats what it is.. an Addiction..
This weekend I will go register for the babyboot camp, keep track of my points, and work on this slowly!. I should actually be making myself breakfast at the moment, cause by the time i make it eat, it clean my mess up.. it will be friggin lunch time, and I'll have to do it allllll over again!!!!!
Life seems to be a little chaotic at the moment, seems like there are a million things going on in and outside of the house that little gets my attention if your not Noah or Linden...Jaret too!.
Jaret has been working most of the week, monday was a short day but the rest of the week has been full days, which is good they are on their last day at the old shop, then Monday morning Johnny will pick Jaret up and they will car pool, YAY MOMMY GETS THE VAN!!!!!!!!!!! I will no longer be on house arrest... Like I have many places to go or people to visit here..... thats not the point!! We looked into buying a truck or an SUV, we are in the midsth of deciding what is best for us. what we need and what we want... this wont be a easy decsion, it will take us some time, and arent in a hurry JUST yet!!
As I am sitting here half ass typing and pretending NOT to pay attention to Noah cause if he sees me watching him, he will stop.. he decided his Pull duck was hungry, went to the cuppboard, pulled out the container of Cereal, put a few pebbles on the ground, and is trying to feed the duck.. His Imagination is shining throught these past few weeks, it is amazing, his new fav thing to say is `SHOOT THE PUCK` and what do Elephants eat.. `PEANUTS!`. Yesterday he had a `Poffeee`(coffee) party with Lindens Puppy teething ring! it is just the cutest thing!! I cant get over how big he is getting, and the fact that Linden is going to be 4 months old in 2 weeks.. =) IKES!!!!!
Well the Chaos is starting up again, Linden is squaking, and Noah is Yelling at the TV for CARTOONS.. MOMMY CARTOOONS!!! and I need to Eat or I will not reach my points for the day!!!

A new year, and A new begining!
So I have thought that it is a new year, and as everyone does in the month of January every year, they set goals, they opt for a new begining, they say they will stick to them and do very well for the first... day.... week... month.. then it just falls apart for most... and this is where I begin!...
I want a change, I want a new start, after 3 years, 2 pregnancy's a huge move out of a city I knew nothing But, to a place where I know nothing, no one, and have to start new.. I need this. I am trying to make some changes, to eat better, sleep more( when I can of course!!), have a new outlook on life, treat people better, and try to be a better me in general. I know I am a person who likes change, I am used to it from growing up, and it is just a personality trait as well. But this change I feel I need to start slow, I need to get things in order, I am going to start weight watchers, I am hoping to sign up for a Baby boot camp every tuesday morning(depends on spots avail.). and with this it will give me a push, it will help me stay focused, stay in tact, and hopefully give me the motivation I need to get me to my goals.
I dont always like what I see in the mirror, I dont always like to think of what Ashley used to be, BUT on that note, I am a new me, I am a Mom, I am a hard working housewife!, I am a whole new person, and will NEVER be the old person I remember, that person is gone, and the new one is here, so with this new begining of being in Lloyd, and a new year, and may hopes and dreams in tact, I will strive to be a new Me. I will strive to succeed, and prove to everyone, **myself included** that I CAN do what I put my mind too.
March 5, will be my one year for no smoking! I did actually have ONE slip up, on Christmas.. but.. with that being said, the temptation is near, I am in close contact with many smokers, but, with only one slip, I have accomplished a healtier life by deciding to make a change, almost one year ago.
I do wonder when walking down the mall, or grocery stores, if people see me the way I see them. How do people perceve me? what do they see when they see me?. I always wonder, and I am sure other people wonder as well.. Wonder is the key word, I never said I CARE, I just wonder!
For the past 4 years Jaret and I have lived together, we have both gained weight, let things slip, and put things on the back burner. We are together on the changes we both make in our lives, as it effects both lives. For the past Month, we have done really well at picking out meals on saturday night, so when we go on Sunday for grocery's we have a list, and stick to it, so we dont compulsively buy junk, or things we dont need in the house. With doing this we have ventured.. well I must say I have ventured outside my box, I am making new recipes. I am trying new foods, I am giving things a chance, that I would of curled my nose up to and said I would NEVER eat that!. Since we have done this, I have made many new recipe's enjoyed some, and disliked some, but truly enjoy the cooking, and the organization we have now. We know what Monday -Fridays dinners are, they are sstarted at 4, and ready for 5 when Jaret comes home, no more..
"what do you want..." ..." I dunno what do YOU want!?" I cook it even if we dont feel like that meal will be what we really want... it is already made and no turning back! gotta be strict if we want to accomplish anything this year!!!. With planning our meals and getting in that routine, has helped get us ready to start this new journey. and thats truely what this will be a Journey, I will have good days and I will have bad days... but In the end it will make a world of a difference, and will add to the many things that moving to Lloydminster has made us do!..

Starting over!
I had opted to start a Blog, and keep to it.... that hasn't happened. I forgot about it and got busy with life and then it dawned on me one afternoon talking to Sarah on the phone, that she ACTUALLY followed it... MAY BE just maybe there are others out there who read this, who actually care enough to take time out of their day to read this, that I really should make the time to Blog.... so I was unloading the dishes from the dishwasher after just getting home from a weekend in Edmonton, I thought to myself... I need to go blog.. NOW! I have lots to say and I guess just want to get it all out!!!
We went to Edmonton for the second time since we moved, we went at Christmas and what a GREAT christmas it was! we stayed for 9 days or so, and did lots of visiting. We went back this weekend for a special birthday, Erika's 3rd Birthday party!! and it was a very fun birthday and it came and went very fast. I am sad I didnt get much of a chance to sit with Sarah and talk, have a good visit, but we did get a good visit.. cause we got to see eachother!.
When we lived in Edmonton, Jaret and I knew Lloyd wasnt far,.. at all. but NEVER well okay once for Denise and Scott's wedding, and one on September long weekend to come out here, but now we are here, and think it is so close to Edmonton, that I think why didnt we make more of an effort? it is so close!. it took us no time to get to the city on friday afternoon, and No time to get home today, that I hope people... friends and family will make it out here to come visit us.
Jaret and I were so excited to get back home to Lloyd today, we turned down our street and said to eachother.. "I really do love living here" it was kinda weird we both thought the same thing. but not really at all seeing as yah work may be a little slow for him at the moment, but isnt everyones job for the most part slow at the moment too?. I dunno may be its just me saying it. but o well.
after going to the city for a weekend visit, I notice our visits with people are so much better, they are really meaningful, we get to actually listen to eachother, actually interact and pay attnetion to what is going on. I am very excited about our next visit to Edmonton, in Febuary for William's first Birthday!! and hope to get a good visit with Sarah then!!!!
well... I still have unpacking since the living room looks like a disaster, kitchen is in need of some tidying, and I need to make bottles for Linden before Desperate housewives comes on tonight!. But I will be sure to make an effort and blog more often.. I wont say how often, but often enough!!!
