Working again has been very interesting!
Well, working again has really been hard. It always is when you just get back into it. I have worked twice since being married and they were both short term. Almost FIFTEEN YEARS as a stay at home. Oh, I guess I nannied for two summers during that time.
Anyway, I was absolutely wiped every night after working ten to twelve hours. I plan on hitting the gym 3 to 4 times a week. Last week, I barely had enough energy to shower the baby smell off of me and get my cleaning under regulations. (there are a lot of rules along with being a Navy provider) I haven't even been able to use my computer hence the empty time inbetween.
Goals in mind, I want to start up this weekend or next week, depending on my weekend to do list. Sleep, shopping, cleaning and some more sleep. 
I would still like to lose twenty by July 4th. It is a big goal but working keeps me from snacking all day. I plan healthy USDA meals all day so we have plenty of fruits and veggies to eat. They had fish sticks yesterday, I had salmon. The eating is good, now I just have to get my workouts in. Running after my 2 yr old ds, my 12 month old daycare child and managing a 6 week old have been a workout in its own.
Now that TOM has come, I have already lost some swelling and water weight. Now I just need to get over the hump and get my weightloss started again. I want to swim this summer and HAVE to get into the 220s or at least lower 230s to feel comfortable in my swimsuit. Oh, and I plan on using that pool when I get a chance!!!
