Saturday, January 24




I cannot believe it is already January 24th! My little baby will be 1 next week and time has just flown by.

We had an awesome Christmas. Christmas Eve was spent at my in-laws and Christmas Day we spent at home and then at my Mom's for a Christmas dinner. Lots of fun for the kids, lots of food, ect.. It went by too quickly and January blahs set in, but not too bad this year. I set up the Biggest Loser at my work. Not many are participating but I am and that's what counts for me. I started drinking 96 oz of water a day (min) and started recording everything I eat. I'm trying to cut down on calories. I'm also walking 10,000 steps a day. While I've only lost 3 pounds in 3 weeks I feel better than I ever have before. My anxiety is a lot less and the only things I can attribute it to is my lifestyle change.

The kids are doing great at their job of causing trouble and general chaos. I love my three kids! We have gone swimming together a few times and it's been really fun.

Hubby is recovering from back pain and he still has a job. Hopefully, they can just
keep going until the work picks up. Otherwise I might have to go full time. 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. I don't want to do that because of my one year old. Besides it wouldn't take effect until the end of September. Oh well, hopefully I can be part time for another year.

Tina, if you are interested in workout videos, Jillian Micheal's 30-day Shred is awesome! She is kicking my butt for sure! It's fast-paced, not corny, and a real workout which I love. I'm on the same kind of journey, weight-wise. I tucked my scale away in June when we put our house up for sale and climbed on it just the other day to see that the holidays were not kind to me. :)

Way to go! Hey 3 pounds is better than 0 pounds. You're right, the most important thing is that you are feeling better. Hope everything works out with the work situation. I know that whatever happens you will make the best of it. Either way, people benefit. If you don't go full time, your kids get you more, if you have to go full time, another classroom of kids will get to experience what a great teacher you are. Everything works out. Hang in there, and stay happy. Love ya.
