The Answer To My Problem:

by Janae on February 22, 2012

I figured out the solution to help me stop feeling overwhelmed….do absolutely nothing productive.

This included watching The Biggest Loser and yes, I am doing a thumbs up….Dolvett and Bob are the only reasons I am still watching the show.  I did fall asleep about 15 minutes in and woke up right before the weigh in so I missed all of the drama in between.

Billy was about to leave on his run and I begged him to make me a baked potato (put in the microwave) for me so that I didn’t have to start being a real person and get out of bed until my dinner was ready for me, teaching early morning spin poops me out.

He played a pretty funny joke on me and decided to cook a ‘normal’ person serving size for a potato….I don’t think so honey.

It turned out to be a good thing because for my second ‘Janae’ sized potato I came up with the brilliant idea to top it with salsa.  That probably sounds gross to you but I say if you love both foods dearly then combine them into one bite.

Yoga was skipped (at least I wore my yoga clothes, that kind of counts) because I forgot that a certain someone had been counting on us to come to something very important.

Okay, really my nephew but this event is one of my dad’s all-time favorite yearly things.  The Pinewood Derby, for scouts they make a car and see who can make the fastest one.  My dad just gets a little into this and loves helping his kids and grandkids and doing all of the equations/smart stuff to insure that their car wins.  He has never lost until last night, they only lost by 4/100s of a second.

And the reason we really love going to these sorts of things:  refreshments.

This morning was another great spin class.  Good thing that my muscles warmed up after a few minutes because I am experiencing major DOMS in my legs and bootay after yesterday’s pump class.  Isn’t it kind of sick how much …
