A tiny bit of relief
Since my last post I had a serious heart to heart with myself. I can't keep making excuses or wish and hope that some miracle will help me get to where I need to be. As much as I have told myself that before, there is more to it now. People that will depend on me in the coming years and I need to be able to be there for them, not sick and having trouble walking.
I didn't stress too much about food this weekend, and I don't think i did that bad, besides we painted ALOT this weekend. We got our whole kitchen painted, two huge walls (we have vaulted ceilings so 2 of the walls we painted go very high up), and a smaller accent wall. Granted we were so tired, we only got the 2nd coat done in the kitchen, but we had also finished painting the kitchen cabinets as well. My arms and sides are still sore from painting, but our kitchen is so much prettier than when we moved in. So...i got a bit of a workout, and tomorrow I am going to try and get in some gym time.
Another very positive thing that happened is my aunt helped me pay off the money i owed my college (not my student loans). This money was keeping me from going back to school. So, also this week, I will be starting the process of getting ready to go back to school in august to finish off prerequisites so that I can go to nursing school. I am going to have to work my butt off to get good grades so that I can get into the program, and it may feel like a long 3 years (that being if I went part time to finish requisites and go into nursing in august 2010), but it will be worth it in the end. This is just another reason I want to get down to a healthier weight, so I can do my job as a nurse one day.
So for now, I am doing slim fast, since it is a relatively cheaper diet to keep up with.
Well thats all for now. I'll write more later.
