I need a makeover
I need this in so many ways. Recently I've been feeling like a frumpy house wife. Honestly, I know that it being winter has a lot to do with it. Logan & I have been getting out for playgroups every week (almost), but when it's zero degrees (like it is right now), I don't want to get out of my pajamas.

So, I don't get out of my pajamas & neither does Logan. Unless he gets food all over them, which he usually does. Then the days that we do get showered & dressed, I feel like I have nothing to wear. I throw clothes out of drawers & off of hangers searching for something warm & "not frumpy". I can still fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes, but they don't fit me. I bought those clothes when I had a six pack (or close to it) & if I was flashing my stomach...big deal. I worked hard for it & short shirts were fun to wear.

Not anymore. It really feels ridiculous, out of place & it's just not me. When did I become so conservative? I wear layers now. I always wear some kind of undershirt, usually a white tank that is long enough to cover any skin if I raise my arms & the shorter top layer rises up. For those of you who are LDS or have LDS family, I feel like I'm wearing garments. Garments!!!! By my own choice!!!!!

I know my overindulgence in the holiday baking has a lot to do with it. Bill & I have had cupcakes for breakfast the last two days. That accompanied by not leaving the house & not exercising, well, Thank God I still fit into my clothes.

Then there's my hair. I need to get it cut. Logan was three months old the last time I stepped foot into a salon. I'm back to the daily pony tail.

And then, my glasses. When we moved, I ran out of contacts & never got another supply. Now I need to get another exam. My glasses are old as dirt too. While I like the librarian style, it's time for an updated look.

I need to get into the dentist too. My daily morning coffee has done wonders for the stained teeth look. Yeah, gorgeous.

Wow. I sound like a total mess. Pajamas, out of shape, pony tail, glasses & coffee stained teeth. It's amazing that Bill's still married to me. Have I really let myself go?

For a while, Bill & I have been talking about me going back to work. Before he got his promotion, it was because I had to do it for our family. Now there's less pressure & I don't have to make "X" amount & it will be nice to have some extra money. This will solve some issues; going out & getting clothes that I like that suite my lifestyle, having some cash for the salon, teeth whitening & some new glasses/contacts & it gets my big butt back into shape again.

Bill is coming home today with his new work schedule. Then I'm going to figure out when I can get into the gym. I'm giving myself a month to get back into shape before I start training again. I've lost 30 pounds in two months before ( I was at 30% body fat. I'm probably right back there again) & I've also gained 10 pounds of muscle in one month too (I was at 17% body fat. Don't know if I want to go there again). 30 days is plenty of time to get back into "fighting shape". It also gives me some time to scope out the gym & start finding potential clients.

Logan is a year old & we are starting to wean from breast feeding. He's down to nursing at breakfast & dinner. Once he's completely weaned, I'll start taking my supplements again. That's when I'll do a detox fast as well. I used to do one every spring. Kind of like a spring cleaning for the body. It looks like I'm right on schedule.

You know what else needs a makeover? This blog. I guess since I'm going back to work, even if it is part time, am I still qualified to call myself a stay at home mom? I've been looking for different templates, but haven't found one that I like. If I don't find anything, I'll probably just add "The Toddler Edition" to the title. No worries though, it won't be password protected & I'm not going to change the URL. Any suggestions or opinions would be cool.

Holy crap, this is one crazy post.
