Bob-
It has been awhile since I have posted. Working 60 hours a week and taking college courses is kicking my ass. By the time I get home and spend a little bit of time with Nickie and the kids I just want to go to bed. But no, at 8/9pm it is homework time. I usually don't get to exercise because of all the running we do with the kids. Then homework has me up until midnight every night unless I pass out in my book. On top of the busy home life I had to go into work early Friday and Saturday. This messes me all up since I have to be there by 3am!!! I generally have extra snacks and drink too much coffee. Luckily I have been avoiding the "crappy" snacks so I have not gained weight. That means I am still on track to win our diet bet. For now that is the goal, win the diet bet and not go insane working every freaking day. I'm glad Nickie handles the major chores. Thanks, love you :)

Finances
Nickie-
Mom and I got our morning walk in, our class members were late. We did our hour then left. I went to the Y to do my internship and paid for our TKD class next month. I ate coffee and a banana for breakfast, salad and strawberries for lunch, and milk and animal crackers for a snack. I'm looking into opening a couple money market accounts so we can get money saved up for a house and pay off our student loans in a timely manner. We did eat out tonight but Bob and I shared a sub from Subway. I helped the kids make tie-dye shirts for spirit week next week.
I think the kids are going to have fun for spirit week, it was always my favorite. We are planning on going to the game as well. This will be the first game since we moved here (over 10 yr ago!) that we will attend. Spirit week is: Monday-Favorite color day, Tuesday-Red White and Blue, Wednesday-PJ day, Thursday-Tie Dye, Friday-Wildcat day.

Revelation
Nickie-
P didn't have a game today because the other team didn't have enough players. I had coffee and a banana for breakfast. I did some chores then had lunch (salad and pizza biscuits). After lunch I took kids to my Mom's to stay the night. While there I snacked on cottage cheese, animal crackers, a pudding bar, pop, and milk. I hate that I always feel like I need to snack like crazy there even though I wasn't hungry. After getting home, Bob and I walked out at Boy Scout Lake. I think he enjoyed it as much as I do. We watched the OSU game and had dinner (sour cream noodle bake). Then we had dessert, an ice cream bar.
I saw something today that I wanted to address....on Facebook I saw a post of a nude woman covering her lady parts tastefully. It did not offend me, she was beautiful in her imperfections. She had posted (for whatever reason) and a commenter had told her "no one wants to see your fat whale ass, go kill yourself". NOBODY should be telling another person to go kill yourself. The poster struggled with depression and attempted suicide previous to this comment. I understand her. I decided that I need to think about myself differently.....I am guilty of saying "I'm fat." I'm not fat!! I have fat in the same way that I have fingernails or hair. I am many things: a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend, honest, loyal, determined, etc...but fat is one thing I am not! This is something that DOES NOT define me! This negative thinking gets passed down to our children, I do not want my children to have the negative body image I did (which cause much of my depression in HS). I try now to have the kids eat healthier and exercise more. I no longer tell them "no, you can't go outside. It's too hot. It's too cold". I allow them to play outside no matter the temperature, just like I did as a kid!

Restart
Nickie-
This seems like a restart day after the HORRIBLE day I had yesterday. I did not even count the calories in MFP but I know that it was well over 3,000 and wouldn't surprise me if it was close to 5,000. That is ridiculous and unacceptable! This morning I had my cup of coffee, banana, and last microwave pita crap Mom gave me. Mom and I headed to Boy Scout Lake again, I really love walking out there. Mom said she would never go alone, but I definitely would. I'm not scared. After the walk, I headed home for a quick change before my internship. I learned a little about reporting and how nonprofit differs from profit businesses as far as taxes go (which is the main difference). After I left the YMCA, I came home and ate an early lunch which was a salad. I folded clothes for an hour and there are still more to fold!! We need to keep up on chores, it is soooo hard! Now I'm working on homework and a research assignment from the YMCA (about Affordable Care Act reporting) until the kids get home from school.
Dinner was leftovers (Cheeseburger lasagna). Girls had a soccer game and P had practice. A got mad that the other team kept scoring goals so when she was defender she was DETERMINED not to let any balls get in that goal LOL She came back to me saying she didn't want them to score anymore so she kicked it as hard as she could. She is so funny.
I went to bed early, wasn't feeling well.

Glutton
Nickie-
No class this morning due to kids having a 2 hour delay. I had a breakfast pita, banana, and a coffee for breakfast. I have started interning at the Y, which I am so happy and thankful for. I love what they stand for: community. I went to Walmart after to get copies of school pictures, had to wait an hour so I ate out (even though I didn't want to and I could have came home to eat but didn't want to drive on other side of town). I had Arbys (turkey sandwich, curly fries, mozzarella sticks, and a tea). Not good!! I only planned on getting the sandwich and a drink but noooooo. Then when I went back to Walmart to get my pictures I wasn't allowed because they were from Lifetouch and I didn't have copyrights (CD) to them. How do I not have copyright when they are my kids and I bought the picture?! I went home after wasting my time, money, and calories for the day. Now a few hours later I just finished off the box of oreos from making Cookies N Cream fudge!! I hate that I think I need to eat more than one or two! Now my stomach hurts and that is even more calories eaten. I feel like I am punishing myself through eating or something. I am definitely an emotional eater and it is very hard to get over this issue. What's worse is that I know we are going to eat out tonight since we will not be home. I will get the healthiest option for sure. I think I also eat like that when I am alone because I don't when I have an audience. Oh!!! And I forgot about the 2 fudge pops I had when I got back from the store! :( :(
Red Robin for dinner....I had a fiery ghost double burger and "steamed" broccoli with raspberry tea (not sweetened). The burger wasn't that many calories but I didn't care for it. The broccoli was hot but not steamed. I guess they don't know the difference. Raspberry tea was VERY bland not sweetened. We then ordered dessert but took it home, chocolate fruffles (chocolate brownie "fries"). And you know that you have to stop at Starbucks if you are going through Marysville (which we do) so I had a graham cracker latte.

Weekend update and Monday post
Nickie-
I didn't update how the weekend went. Saturday, P had a soccer game. He really enjoys playing, almost scored a goal. Bob wanted to get a heavy bag from Columbus that was on sale so we headed there after he got off work, we took P and the twins stayed with Mawmaw and Papa Jackson. It was $180 for the stand, heavy bag, and a speed bag. Like this one...
Well, they didn't have any more heavy bags so they gave us the one from the floor model. They said the speed bag was in the box. He put the bag up on Sunday after work and realized there was no speed bag. *Update* After being on hold for 15 minutes I was finally able to get through to someone, they are holding a leather bag for us to pick up. We are probably heading down Wednesday. We ate at BJ's. I had the Bison Burger, Sweet Tea, and Calamari appetizer.
I fought with kids this morning because P decided that he wanted to pack at 7 (5 minutes before we leave). This made B upset because she had just talked about being a packer one day. I told her to wait for a day when she doesn't like the food. I had my morning coffee and a microwave lunch my Mom gave me.
This morning I went to my morning class at the YMCA with my Mom. I really like it and can't believe those older ladies moving like they are! I can only hope to be like them when I reach that age. I also talked to the head person about doing an internship there. He said they couldn't pay me (which is fine!) but they could definitely help me build my resume so hopefully that works out. I went to store after I got home to get ingredients for the fudge business. Then I grabbed a snack of strawberry-banana-PB2 smoothie and a Fiber One oats & chocolate bar.
Lunch consisted of leftover chili (thanks Mom!) and Hershey dark chocolate caramels. Dinner was chicken stir-fry then we headed to P soccer game.

Day 5-9/18/15
Nickie-
Morning walk at Boy Scout Lake with the Y class was so nice!! The scenery and the fresh air was a nice change. We went to the store after the walk to return a pair of pants and get a few items (came back with more, like always). Walmart had clothes on sale, got shirts, shorts, and pants for $1-$5!! Finally made it home at 10:30 am and ate an early lunch (tuna, crackers, yogurt, cheese, and edamame).
Bob had to work over but we played on the Wii Fit as well as a few other Wii and Kinect games. The kids had so much fun even though P would get mad when he lost. I kept telling him that you would get better. Most of the Wii Fit games I was HORRIBLE at with no balance but got better and unlocked new games.
