Wasting My Potential

So here it is - In the last year and a half, I’ve gone from around 135lbs to 175lbs.

And I’ve earned every pound. Trust me.

But I’m determined to do something about it. As of last Friday, I actually hired a personal trainer who kicks my ass 4 days a week. Two of the days she runs me through a total body workout with weights and other fun (?) devices, and the other two we do a cardio torture session workout.

I refuse to weigh myself for at least another week or so, as I’m one that can get pretty discouraged if I don’t see a decrease.

We’re heading to Jamaica May 5th, and I’m bound and determined to wear a bathing suit that doesn’t sport a skirt and a full tankini!

Hey! Hello.

It’s me Jenn.

Jenn is not my real name, but since my real name is quite unique I decided to go with a generic pseudonym. But don’t worry - I’m not a 300lb, 48 year old man posting in his underwear from his dingy apartment somewhere.

I am in fact, a female. I’m 36 years old, married, and am the mother to two amazing daughters - 12 and 13.

I’ve been blogging for about 2 years, but since that stupid man I married can’t keep his mouth shut, every member of our families soon knew about my site. I started another blog, and asked him to please, please (please!) keep it to himself. That lasted for three whole days, and my new site was soon overrun with the in-law’s, friends and third cousins twice removed.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!

So here we are the third time around. (Third time’s a charm, right?) My dear husband does not know about this new site, and I’m hoping to keep it that way.

The name of this site is fitting - it’s something my husband said to me years ago, and the phrase has really stuck with me. It’s also along the same lines of what my friends have told me over the years as well.

I honestly don’t see myself as ‘wasting my potential’ - I have two lovely daughters, a (mostly) solid marriage, money in the bank, and a lovely care-free life.

There will be more to come on this subject, I’m sure, but for now - Hello! And welcome to my secret (fingers crossed) little spot on the web!

I’ve finally decided on a theme - well, at least for the moment.

I love this one. It is so totally me. Just add 40 pounds, take a few inches off the hair, and that beauty in the header is me. (Uhmm.. maybe add about 15 or 20 years to her too.)

This Wordpress theme, and many other unique and original themes are available free from designer Justin Gomolka, and you can find his free Wordpress themes here. You’ll find really great themes perfect for business sites, poker/gambling sites, health/workout/yoga sites, and of course - some like Dopey Bunnies which are just for fun! (I crack a smile every time I look at those bunnies!)

So if you are looking for a Wordpress theme that is well done, and has a bit of character to it, definitely head over and check it out!

Well, it took about 1/2 hr from the time I bought this domain to having WordPress up and running, and then it took 428 more hours for me to pick a theme!

Women!

This theme will change soon, but I’m feeling very bitchy witchy at the moment, so it fits.
