the calm after the storm..

I made the mistake of not watching the news yesterday before the kids and i went for our daily walk. Well, let me tell ya, on the way back, we were caught in a major downpour. I haven't been cold like that in a long time. lol.  My son enjoyed riding his bike in the rain, my daughter not so much and me not at all..  It is nice and sunny today, so we are headed out in a few minutes.  This is my favorite time of year.  Wanted to go to Subway this morning to try the new breakfast sandwich, but my son said he didnt want  to try them.(so much for my free breakfast plan)I am off for now. I hope that everyone has a good day.

hello buds

Boy have I been slacking in the blogging department.  I have been spending most of my days applying for jobs and taking tests. I am supposed to take an agility and written test on May 22nd for a sheriff cadet.  My only issue if the 6ft flat wall.  I am 5ft10, but the thought of me throwing 205 lbs over a solid wall is intimidating. I wish it was a chain link fence.lol. I am still exercising daily. There have been a couple of days that I have consumned too many peanut butter m&m's, but for the most part, I am doing well.  My kids are off track this month, so I am spending most of my days entertaining them. They do like to play tennis, so we walk up to the park and attempt to play.     On the days that I walk, they ride their bikes. We are off to the library now.  I hope that everyone is doing well.

Hey girls, I am still around.  I have been on a pilates/walking kick this week. Doing well with food.  The guy that I am seeing thinks its okay to buy me candy(peanut butter m&m's   )for easter.He also bought me a cake for my birthday last week complete with a half-gallon of Dreyers mint chip BROWNIE ice cream.  (the best ice cream i have ever had) Did I mention that I have not had ice
cream in over a year? lol.  I told him this has to stop!    my kids have been speaking to their dad regularly and it's nice to feel like i have a partner in parenting them. All i need now is a job.  I am happy despite my unemployed status. I am off to read everyone blogs.  6 more lbs till wonderland!!!

back from alabama

The kids and I made it back from Alabama last night. I must say I was not looking forward to hanging out with my ex-hubby and his family, but we had a wonderful time.  My kids are crazy about their dad.lol.   I  still managed to walk each morning and ate a lot of lean cuisines.   They made up for the 6 years that passed in the time that we were there.  I believe that he will do better from now on. I am doing well in the exercise and food department and feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.  The only thing I need now is a job. Hopefully, that's next.  Have a great day girls!

midweek

I am feeling great today. To say that my workouts over the past week have been awesome would be an understatement. I was 15 minutes into my planned 90 minute cardio workout when my cell phone rang.  My daughter was calling from school with an upset stomach.      So much for my grand workout plans for the day.lol.  I went to pick her up and came home and did Jackie Warner's DVD.  Had a great workout, but it wasnt what I had planned. oh well.  I enjoyed TBL last night.  I was so proud of everyone.  It was cool to see how much healthier they are. I usually cry at the end when they do the update on the person that went home.  I did not this week ,as I was not a fan of the man that left.    My daughters birthday is Friday.  She is having her party on Sunday at Build a Bear. We have a busy weekend planned.   I received a letter regarding one of the state jobs I applied for, they are going to contact me  for an interview.  The other county job that I really, really want wont let us know the test results until early next month.   I am off to play nurse to my sweetie pie. Have a great day girls!

18 days

I have been meaning to blog for the past couple of weeks.  I cannot believe that 18 days have passed since i posted.  I feel like, now that I am home, I am busier than I was when I was working.  I have a couple of jobs lined up...  State jobs take forever to get hired since you have to send in your application,wait until the deadline to pass, take a test and then go to the oral interview.  I would live to work for the state because of the benefits.  I am taking a written exam on monday.  I hope i get this job...  On the weight loss front, I am down to 209 as of today.  It feels good.  I am on my way out of the 200's.  I forced myself to hit the gym a few times this week, and what a difference that made. My walk earlier this week was uncomfortable,  the weather is in the 80's, but it feels much warmer.  I am off to catch up on everyone's blogs. Have a good weekend!

still kicking

Hey everyone.  I am still alive and well.  I must say that I enjoy being a stay at home mom.  Is it possible to be a stay at home mom without a husband to pay the bills? lol.  It is nice to experience life at this pace.  No rushing in the morning, nice long walks after i drop the kids off, lots of home cooked meals,an extra clean house and all the extra patience that comes along with it.  i am rocking in the exercise department i mostly walk and jog. some mornings i walk ten miles. havent been to the gym since january, am thinking of cancelling my membership. i prefer to exercise outdoors or at home anyway.   i went to see the movie dear john last week. what a great love story that is!  i am so excited about our trip to alabama at the end of this month. my ex  hubby and i are still communicating regurlarly and i can tell that he has grown up  and is remorseful for all that has happened.   my kids think they are going to see their grandparents and have no idea that he is going to be there.  i cannot wait until they see him!   i have been on and read blogs, but havent  spent any time updating mine.  i know i need to do better.  my goal for this month is to lose at least 7 lbs.   have a great day girls:)

Hello girls- Today begins a new chapter for me.  I was laid off yesterday.  I must admit that I have mixed feelings.  I was pretty burnt out after the 8 years I have spent there and  I didn't have any benefits. I made decent money, but sacrificed a lot for that job.  I believe that there is something else in the works for me.  On a lighter note, I am down to 214!  That was a pleasant surprise this morning.  My ex-husband and I are communicating like adults and that makes me really happy.  I am excited for them to see him after all these years. I had a great morning, took the kiddos to school, went for an hour long walk and finished a book I have been reading.  It feels like I am on vacation(let's hope it's a short one!) No emotional eating or feeling sorry for myself, maybe I will meet a rich man or win the lottery.  That would solve everything.     lol. Have a great day everyone.

bad blogger

Wow, just realized I haven't blogged in nine whole days.  Great news, My ex-husband emailed me and wants to see the kids.  Looks like we will be headed to Alabama in March.  I am so excited for them.   They haven't  seen their dad in five years, how sad is that?  I am doing well in the exercise and food department.  I have been walking mostly the past few weeks and am feeling good.  The sun was out a couple of days ago and felt so nice.  I can't wait for the warmer weather to start.  I have a ton of work to do today.  Will check in on everyone over the weekend.

Hi everyone-
 
I am blogging to you in the midst of a storm.  The wind is howling and the rain is coming down. I am longing for Spring. I miss the sun, flip flops, working in my yard and nice warm walks.    I am sittting at my desk, post lunch with a growling stomach.  Dont get me wrong, Lean Cuisines are good, but I am still hungry.  I didnt get  in much of a workout yesterday.  Had to take the rest of my braids out.  I did manage to do about 200 squats though.  I love squats! Monday we went to for my walk/run and the kids rode their bikes.  My daughter cried all the way home because the sidewalks were lined with worms from the rain.  I guess she thought they would jump from the sidewalk and attack her while she was riding her bike.     I was rough housing with my kids yesterday and they were doing the jab, cross, hook/elbow moves on me from jillians  cardio blast!   They are pretty good, but not as fast as their old mom.  lol.  I am off to catch up on everyone's blogs!
