hey hey
Thanks to everyone who checked up on me the last couple of months. Gawd, what a horrid summer. Worked 3 jobs, no time for the gym AT ALL, had to get food from a food pantry for a month - oh, man. Basically caused by my DH's lack of good summer job he's had for years, because after his heart attack last Nov. he's unable to physically do it anymore. Had no idea how hard it was to make ends meet with jobs that 'seem' to have a decent per-hour -- 4 jobs between to two of us, ranging from $8 to $16/hour, and we couldn't even make the mortgage payment one month WITH assistance from a local agency.
ARGH!
So life is totally back to normal now, except that instead of being a SAHM I work 7 days a week outside of the home PLUS watch my kids full time - DH watches them when I work on weekends, and they come with me during the week. The extra money is good - saving up for next summer so we NEVER have to go through this summer again.
But I haven't found any time to get to the gym. And it's killing me. I've gained a LOT of weight, I feel like a slug - I just got a wakeup call yesterday by taking www.realage.com quiz -- have you heard of this? Go do it! IT takes an inventory of your lifestyle, health things, etc. etc. and tells you how old you are compared to how old your body is via how it's being treated. I'm 35.6 years old. My real age is 40.8. My husband, who's 36, got a 'real age' of 48.6. And everything they say seems to be pretty much dead-on.
Good news for me is my 'prediction' is that I can have a real age of 29.something in three months if I take my health into my hands right away...something I need to do again, STAT.
So finally, after a too-long hiatus, I'm back on track...not sure what my path is at the moment, but I know it's going to include more meal planning and excercize for starters. Think I'm heading out for a multivitamin too.
Have a great day all, & wish me luck!
I didn't go on to see my predicted Real Age. I don't think I could do more than I'm doing now...or shall I say I am not willing to do more!
