I know....
So I know I haven't been around much lately! I have been sooooo busy with work and home life it has been pretty hard! I am still adjusting to being back at work full time but each day gets a little bit easier. Just trying to find the right balance is gonna take a little bit of time. I will not give up though!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Tomorrow is weigh in day for me!!! :)

-3.0
Oh yeah!!!! Finally a bigger loss this week!!! I was actually pleasantly surprised because I did eat off of JC a lot this week but I did make good choices....I still feel like I am cheating though....Glad to know that I am doing good....although I still feel a long way from being ready to go at it on my own 24/7. Just glad that I am progressing!!! Here's to an awesome week!

Wanted to share!
Ok....so the whole work thing got mixed up and so I started yesterday...no big deal......a really good friend of mine who I have worked with at two different offices with this company was also at this new office I am working at now ..... so yesterday......as soon as I walked in I could see it on his face!!! He was so surprised by my weight loss so far! He was just telling me over and over how good I looked!!! He totally made my day!!!! It was the best feeling!
That was all, just had to share my great moment yesterday!!! Now I'm off to work!
Happy Friday!!!

Slowly but surely
Good morning!
Where the heck has the year gone?? I can't believe we are half way thru it!!! WOW!!
Had an early weigh in this morning.....down -1.3. I was actually surprised that I lost that much because I was out of town since Friday and doing all meals on my own....I did have a few splurges too....I justified it in my mind since this is the only vacation I was gonna get this summer....we had to cancel our Cali trip in early August since I am going back to work.... :( Oh well, we already have our big Disneyland vacation planned for next summer...and I want to feel great by then....I know I will be at my goal weight by then too!
I am so sorry that I wasn't around much this past week....between the stress of starting work and going out of town I have just been beat! I start work on Wednesday....I'm excited and totally scared! I will miss being on my own time!!!
I hope everyone has a great 4th of July!!!!! We are having lots of family over so it will be great here!

Work!?!
This is so weird that this all happened so fast but I think that I am going back to work in like a week and a half......I am sooooo scared! I quit my job after my maternity leave with my second daughter back in September 2004, I have almost been at home for 2 years. Going back to work full time is going to be a HUGE adjustment for our family. We just decided Tuesday evening that I would be going back since the work that I had been doing from home was starting to die down and wasn't going to pay our bills. I looked online at the company I used to work for yesterday and saw that there was only one opening for the job I used to do...I decided to call Adrienne at HR since I still knew her and used to work with her in my branch. She said the opening was for the office that is seriously 2 minutes from my house, I was shocked!!! She was so excited that I had called too because the manager at this branch was desperate to get the spot filled ASAP...next thing I know I'm on the phone with him and he says he is starting the background check...I was like what?!? This is all happening sooooo fast...he wants me to start on the 3rd of July...oh my gosh!!! I couldn't say no though because he has interviewed another girl and had already started her background check...if I didn't say yes I could start then, I could lose the chance at this job. It really is working out great because it's my comfort zone, I did really well at the job before when I worked there for 3 1/2 years, it's soooo close to my house and I can come home every day for my lunch hour and see my hubby and girls :)
The few down sides of it....... A) My hubby will have to quit the job he is at and work nights somewhere because he refuses to let me work nights...and honestly I don't want to work nights. But I do worry if he will be able to get enough sleep since he is also going to school right now and he would be home with our girls during the day. On the plus side though, he would only need to work 4-6 hour shifts instead of 8...... B) I don't get to be home with my girls! I LOVED being with them everyday! I LOVED walking my older daughter to school everyday....I LOVED having quiet afternoons with my baby Kylah while Trey was at work and Hailee was at school.....I LOVED not having a boss, lol!! I LOVED not having to get all dressed up everyday for work! I LOVED not stressing about work.... C) I have NO work clothes left....as I wrote about a few days ago, I don't fit into any of them anymore......this is definitely the type of job were you have to dress professional everyday....have to wear pantyhose, blah blah blah.....I was talking about it with Trey yesterday and he's like "I have never heard anyone complain about having to get an entire new wardrobe." Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to shop but I hate to spend money on all these work clothes when I have been going down a size a month......I decided I will re-sell my clothes on EBay when I can't fit into them anymore to at least make back a little bit on them!! I always sell my kids clothes on there since they grow out of them every season, you can make a good chunk of change doing it! Man, I even have to buy all new shoes and bras too....all my bras are way too big now and I don't have any dress shoes really anymore.....
Ok, I know this is getting really long.....to sum it up, I am excited about going back but scared all at the same time. It will be an adjustment but once we get into the groove of it we will be fine. Trey and I have been thru so much together over the years that this is just one more small bump in the road, no big deal..right?!? I know it's all temporary until he gets out of school in a couple years....then I will probably stay home again with the girls while I go back to school. Lots to think about!!!
