I made Sunday my biotch. And other news. {Mom, stop reading.}
Many of you know of my recent efforts to live more intentionally, more fully. It is going so well. Seriously, shockingly well. My life is a-changin. My outlook is different. And, my body is morphing.
I’m finding myself planning my days more fully. I am eating healthier, working out more, spending more time with my family and less with my phone and computer {sorry}, getting active and enjoying this blessed life I have so graciously been given.
For example. I made Sunday my biotch. I totally rocked it.
Want details? {Well, even if you don’t. I haz them.}
- I got up super early for church and had the whole family fed, dressed and out the door. More importantly, and noteworthy – we were ON time people! {Crazy, I know.}
- Then, I came home and fed the kids lunch, put the baby down for a nap, and went outside {which in Southwest Ohio in August is the equivalent to the surface of the effing SUN} and pulled weeds out of the front, side and back gardens. And then? Oh, no. I wasn’t done. I proceeded to water all three beds as well. {Forcing myself NOT to spray my face in the process.}
- And, just when you thought I was done, I went back inside and cleaned all THREE of our bathrooms, folded a load of laundry and then…You know what my crazy ass did? I did a cross-fit workout for 45 minutes. Half of which was back outside on the SUN. Ya know?
- Afterwards, I came inside, washed dishes, folded and put away a load of laundry, got a shower, came downstairs and started dinner and fed the kids. And, while dinner was cooking I packed all the lunches for Monday and then? I EFFING BAKED! Seriously, I’m not on drugs. Or diet pills. This energy is au-naturel.
- By, 6 p.m. we had eaten, the house was full of the scent of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, the kids were in the bath and I was in my pj’s. PAJAMAS!
- And the rest of the night I played and read with my children until bed time.
Hello, Sunday. I totally ruled you.
But, in the face of all of these good changes, I am beginning to notice things. Strange things like the more I succeed in this journey, the more my loving, doting, husband wants to jump my freakin’ bones.
{You heard me right.} Ladies, this living intentionally thing has gotten out of farking control quickly. Suddenly, mister is pouncing me like a 15 year old school kid on the daily, yo. ON. THE. DAILY.
Is my body letting off some strange come eff me scent or…WTF is going on? Is this how its going to be? Do I need to plan for this for EVER? Because even in my best attempts to plan a more intentional day, I can’t prepare for THIS.
And, more importantly, if this is how healthy works, I quit.

Postive energy creates more energy, it's amazing. Tell JP to give me a call. I'll put Mr. B on the line. LOL

Me thinks I need to start living intentionally too! Lol.
I find that I always feel better when I feel productive. So glad things are going well for you!

Feeling productive does leave you with a sense of accomplishment, which makes you feel better in general. Jump on the bandwagon!
[Reply]
I think that's great! My guess is that your husby is jumping your bones more because you feel better about life, and more importantly, about yourself. Apparently men find that very sexy. Way to go on owning Sunday!

That's what I LOVE! It's addicting. Almost like the healthier you eat, the more you move and exercise, the more you crave it. That being said, I did snack today at work. Like A LOT. But I have yoga tonight, so it cancels itself, right?
[Reply]
You are awesome!!! I've been in the process of living more "intentionally" (I love how you put it) and it has been great! Keep it up, your kick-ass work is very inspriational! And confidence is the sexiest thing in the world

Hey love, thank you so much! I love how many people are thinking of living intentionally throughout their day! It makes this SO much easier.
[Reply]
Love this!! And you know how I feel about that little side effect
[Reply]
All the more reason for me to keep at my "living recklessly" series.

Love it! Isn't it crazy how that happens! I've noticed the same thing too. What I've noticed though is the better I feel about myself, the more I like it when he does!
It's all about the confidence.

You should try it. Even if your bones don't get jumped, your attitude will.
[Reply]

Sunday was like whoa. I impressed myself. Three weeks ago I didn't have the energy or drive to even make it to church. And now? early.
[Reply]
LOL!! Yes, I am afraid it goes hand in hand. Apparently, confidence is sexee! Some days I'm tempted to turn into Grumpy again, just so I could get a break.

There are some days I may have to turn the grump on. Like tonight.

Wow! I have to ask how you got so much energy. I've been feeling like I've been dragged through mud and rolled over by an 18 wheeler lately.

It hasn't been easy. But, at some point I decided I was wasting my life and I had to start living it more intentionally. Really sucking the marrow out of every day. And the result has been healthier eating, exercising, planning, and the side effect has been energy out the wazoo – which is great because productivity also makes you feel good. It's a win-win.
[Reply]
Awesome!
And, you got ME motivated!

That's my goal – if we're all trying our best to live more intentionally, when one of us falls we will have the support we need to get back up. And hopfully faster than I did last time I fell.
[Reply]
props! i would never weed in a million years- heh!

LOL. Three weeks ago I wouldn't have either. Hubs would have done it. But now? I enjoyed those sweaty hot moments out in the yard in the silence playing in the dirt. And, the yard looked great as soon as I was done. That's always a plus! LOL
[Reply]
LMAO! Awesome!

I love to make you laugh beautiful!
[Reply]
I don't get it? So if I do a lot I am living intentionally? Am I missing something?
I love this idea and I love that your hubs is a jumping!

Oh god no! That was just me making Sunday my biotch because I actually felt alive and not depressed and fat and lazy. All the living intentionally has given me energy and a zest for life again. And, in a surprising twist, a cleaner house!
[Reply]
Go Tiffany! I definitely need to live more intentionally!

o my goodness. just spit out of my lunch. THANKS! haha.
[Reply]
I live in northeastern ohio/centralish ohio and it has been ridiculous out. Good for you for getting out! You have really inspired me to live "intentionally". Lately I feel out of touch.
I love the idea of living intentionally and honestly getting my bones jumped every day doesn't sound so bad either!
[Reply]
I stumbled across your blog last week and… I LOVE you. Thanks for being you, and being honest and telling! I love it!
[Reply]
Awesome. Simply. Awesome.
[Reply]
So great!!!!! I want my bones jumped!!!!!! HA.
PS: Reading of your intention makes me tired.
[Reply]
Oh. My. God. I could definitely use some of that energy. This was the first time I've read your blog and I laughed my ass off! I love it and will be back!
[Reply]
Somehow I missed this one when you posted…and I just laughed out loud! So glad you rocked your day…and you seriously rocked it mama(!)…but the laughing came at the end when you wrote about your hubbie…I haven't been pounced on 'on the daily' since we decided to (and did) conceive Miss Parker…and I don't think I could handle it either
