I've decided to take things on this blog in a totally different direction. Originally it was going to be some health journal thing. That didn't work out. I'm too disorganized for online journaling in that regard, but I am going to make an attempt to actually do this as an online journal more so than Facebook or Google+. I don't know if anyone will read it and it might very well be a stream of consciousness thing at times, like now.
I have a couple of friends who use their blogs as ways to talk about their journey from couples without children to couples with children. Both struggle with infertility, as we have though in their own unique and difficult ways, and each couple has their own way of being able to deal with it. I plan on using this blog in a similar fashion at times, chronicling our journey to becoming parents, as slow as that journey may be, and covering other topic as well. I'm sure I'll talk about weight loss, our semi-crunchiness, geekiness, our attempts at trying to sort of fit into society, and my own crazy ways of dealing with my fears. I might at times venture into religion and politics, and my crazy eating adventures have their own bog called "You Ate What..."

The Decision
So, I was reading another blog and decided that this was the only way I could really keep myself accountable. With all the stress the end of the school year brings, I needed something that would give me some respite and still be good for me. At 7:45 pm December 15th, 2009, I have decided to change myself.
Heh, I almost actually went back and retyped the "myself" part of that last sentence. I was going to change it to "my body" or somesuch, but I really think that changing myself is what I need to do.
The first step was taken this evening, not in starting this blog, but in deciding that the large Dr. Pepper I got was not what I wanted to drink. I *wanted* a bottle of water. This is....well, quite frankly, this is big. I don't drink water. I never have. Very seldom do I find drinking straight water enjoyable. I just don't like the taste. However, I knew my body was craving that for its thirst. I also knew that I needed something to wash down the vitamins I'm about to take.
There, vitamin taken. I'm proud of that. I've been neglecting my vitamins somewhat since I found out I wasn't pregnant. I was really faithful in taking them, but I was a little disheartened when I realized that it wasn't quite time yet for a baby.
Some might ask why, besides the obvious, I have begun this journey, made this decision, whatever. I think a lot of it has to do with my husband. He's overweight too and we've sort of just grown together in size over the years. He mentioned to me a few weeks ago that we should join a gym. We've tried other things, but it's difficult for something like 700 pounds of us to work out in a upstairs apartment (our old place) or in a trailer (our current place). So, once the new year rolls around, we plan on going to a gym. Someday, when we get a house, I want to have some stuff in the garage, like a Bowflex or Gazelle or AbCircle or something. Right now, for home, we are thinking about Your Shape that goes with Wii or a Wii Balance Board, something that we can do together. The balance board stuff would be me on the balance board with John on the side doing the same thing I am.
So, in conclusion on Decision Day...water, here I come.
