Let's do it again...all over again...

 

 

You know, I'm getting the hang of this do it all over again thing!!  The stressors of my life are slowly fading away, and now it is time for me to get back into the swing of things!!!  I've moved into a bigger, NICER, apartment for much less than what I was paying.  And i'm dating again!!!  YEAH!!!  Lol, its crazy because i've been out of the loop for so long, but i'm down for anything new!!

 

So, i'm starting off with my tae bo, every other day and decreasing my calories.  I really need to reset my weight loss thing...

 

Anyway, guess i'll get back to work.  I'll chat up with you gals lata!!

 

*smooches*

Hello....

Pushing the reset button....

Miss Me???

I miss you gals sooooooooo much!!!  Ok, i'll try to update you on what's going on in my life...

#1.  I was transferred back to my old position as a medical assistant (i sooooooo didnt want to go!) But since i've been back, its been really busy!  They have me working everywhere, and then they tried to get me fired!!!  They were saying that I was trying to get everyone "on my side" and all kinds of crap...i was just like WOW.  But things have calmed down now.  I put it all in God's hands and I guess he told them to LEAVE ME ALONE!!!...lol

#2 My DH and I are getting a divorce.  It was a mutual decision.  Things have not really worked out between us since our daughter was born (2003).  I think because I didnt want to have anymore kids was his deep rooted issue.  I think that's where he became detatched from me and all of this emotional stuff started happening with me.  But anyway, its just been going on waaaaay to long.  So, we both decided its best we part our different ways. I decided to leave the house, because with my salary, i dont think I can handle the house on my own.  So I got an apartment, and I'm moving on the 29th.  I'm actually pretty excited about it, but scared all at the same time.  I'm going to be a single mom again :(

#3 My weight.  Well needless to say due to all the stress in my life, I have not been eating like I need to.  I've gained 4 pounds since the last time I logged in, so I'm up to 205.  I think once I move, things will be better and I can gain some control of my life!

#4 School...lol I'm still hanging in there AND maintaining a 4.0...have NO idea how i'm doing it, but I am.

I will really try to keep you guys updated on what's going on.  I'm going to see if I can catch up a lil with you guys this week, i'm off from school

Day 5

I've done pretty well so far.  I haven't exactly stayed on track with my eating, but i've been consistent with my exercise!!!  YEAH, GO ME!!  I guess the eating could explain why that stupid scale hasnt moved!!!  

So, I went back to work yesterday...it was....interesting.  Its like I had to do a training session all over again!  They were like, "Nike, you were the expert at this!"  yeah...a YEAR AGO!  So, I"m sure i'll be back in the swing of things in no time, just gotta get used to it!

Anywho..lots of stuff planned for this weekend!  It is youth day at our church, so since i'm one of the teachers in the youth department, I have to do all of the activities...or i'll NEVER hear the end of it from my teenagers!...lol.   Saturday we are supposed to go to a water park (if the temp warms up some) and Sunday we are having a picinic after church!  My kids are sooo excited, anything to do with food...they are so there!  Lol.  But I know I am going to have a really hard time...I SOOOOOO LOVE HOT DOGS!..

Well, I must get the kids ready so I can head out the door..miss you guys!  I promise I'll try to catch up later with your blogs.  OH SNAP!!  I forgot to mention that one of my friends from High School has a record label, and he called me because he wrote this song and he wants me to sing it!!!  So i'm going there today after work so he can test my vocals to see if my voice fits!!  I am sooooooo nervous!    Wish me luck!

I DID IT!!!

I got up and went to the gym yesterday!!!  YEAH!!!  I am sooo proud of me.  I also got up this morning and did 30 minutes on the elliptical.  I am SOOOO SORE!  But it feels soooo good! 

Today is my second day off, and seriously I am thinking what in the world did I do yesterday!  Besides go to the gym, I didn't do anything I was planning on doing.  I was supposed to finish at least 2 loads of clothes and put up the rest of the ones that I DIDNT put up, but I ended up being super lazy!!!...lol.  Oh well, I guess there is always today!  I'm spending the day with my daughter.  We have a playdate with her bestfriend from preschool, so she's super excited.  I still have a paper to write that is due by 1159pm today...I know, I am such a procrastinator!  I'm going to do better...i'm going to have to do better!

Well, I haven't figured out any goals for July yet, but for the rest of June, here's what I have:

Drink lots and lots of water!  

Log everything on the daily plate

Be in the lower 190"s by July 1st

I think I can manage that!!  Well, hope everyone is doing well.  Sorry I havent' been posting on a regular, i'm trying to work that into my daily schedule!

    







(don't you just love my new smileys!!!  sweetim.com)

Happy Father's Day!!!

Hope all the dad's out there had a fantastic day!

My day went pretty well today. Got up at 7am to fix hubby some breakfast! Thought I would start his day off right....The kids tried to help, but they realized that spongebob was on, and left me to slave over a hot stove! But its cool!, lol I guess I'm used to it! But he really enjoyed it. We made him a Father of the Year award too, so he was touched!

Church service was good also. Very emotional I would say. One of the ladies in the choir sung Center of my Joy.... I was just through! But, it was all for his glory! Thank Ya!
Well after church, I came home and cooked dinner. I fixed porterhouse steaks, roasted red potatoes, and salad. It was good. Broiled them in the toaster oven cuz it was HOT AS ALL GET OUT! Thank GOD for alternate ways of cooking!

On the diet tip, i'm not doing all that great. This weekend I had a M&M breakdown. I dunno why, but somehow I ended up with like 3 grab n share bags, and someone BOUGHT me a big bag as a gift!!! How could I resist that? But, AGAIN, tomorrow is another day. OH, and I"M GOING TO THE GYM TOMORROW!!! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!! I think this will really jumpstart me back into my fitness routine, I'll give all the details tomorrow.

Well, Ill chat lata! Smooches




 

I'm a lil sad....

This week is my last week here in the IT department for the Hospital I work for.  We have a meeting every Tuesday morning @7am to discuss what's going on and where we are in the project.  Usually we have a birthday celebration on the 3rd Tuesday of every month, but we moved it to the second Tuesday so I could celebrate with everyone.  Well, little did I know it was going to be a going away party!!!  This is what they made me..(the pics are kinda small cuz its from my camera phone)

They made me a patchwork quilt and everyone from my team said something on the patch.  It is soooo cute!!  Surprisingly I didn't cry, but I will probably do that on Friday, my actual LAST day.  But anyway...

Yesterday sucked as far as eating and exercising.  I did horrible @ eating and did not exercise.  It was SOOO hot in my house, even the basement.  Plus I had class last night and I'm still catching up on my laundry.  I need to really make an effort to do better.  I don't get it.  I'm like sooo psyched to do it during the day, but when I get home, I'm like pooped!!!  Maybe I'll walk for my lunch the rest of the week, and then next week, since I won't have to be to work until 9am, I can just keep getting up @ 5 and do my exercise while its still cool in the house.

Its still storming quite a bit here.  We had a severe weather alert yesterday, but nothing came of it.  I was sooo glad.  My in-laws lost their TV in the living room.  It won't come on anymore, so we are guessing the power outlet was surged or something.  I dunno.  I'm sooooooooooooo glad I unplugged my computer!!!  Well, I have 3 assessment tests to do, so I need to start reading.  I'll chat with you chickies lata!  Smooches

I've been through the storm and rain...But I MADE IT!!

God truly has his hands around me!!  We had horrible storms yesterday!  We were in the basement for what seemed like forever.  But, our house didnt get touched, our lights are still on (one of the only houses on the block), and we are alive to see this day!!!

Ok, that was my lil testimony!  This week is going to be a GREAT week! Why?  Well here they are:

 DH and I finally had a pow wow and agreed on some things

I stepped on the scale this morning and Im back down to 201 (i will be in wonderland soon!!!) 

I get to exercise again!!!  YEAH ME!!!

I no longer have to work a second job!!!  YEAH

I've been away from my second job a week now, but I just feel like i've rested up, so now I can get back on track.  I will soon post my June goals and what I want to accomplish.  Hope everyone had a great weekend!! Smooches

TOM is here!!

And I feel soooo bloated!!!!  I wore my size 12 pants today and they are SOOOOO Tight!!!  OMG!!!

I've been emotional this week.  DH and I aren't really getting along, so i've been staying away which means my eating has been horrible.  But, I am soooo ready to just be back to my normal routine!  Not much really to say today..its 76 degrees already today and its only 930 am!!!   It s gonna be hot and I dont have air conditioning in my house...oh well...i'll be camping out in the basement this summer!

Ok gals, check in on you later! Smooches!
