Ok the title says it all. I am still trying to get some weight off before it gets out of hand. However saying that, when I get stressed out I turn to food; chips and dip, sweets, leftovers. Nothing is off limits. Between going to school and home life I have been very stressed. Last time I weighed in I weighed in at 179 and that was a week ago. I knew my weight had went up but seeing those numbers were shocking. My problems are that I HATE starting a workout routine (once I'm in it I'm good for a bit), the littlest thing can throw me off my routine, and making myself find the time to workout. Eating healthy with healthy portions isn't easy for me either, but is easier than exercising. Quick meals have become the norm lately. I can feel myself being sluggish and becoming more sedentary. My mountain dew addiction is still running strong, but I have been making myself drink a couple of drinks that are not soda (coffee and juice mostly). I've mostly got this blog for myself to admit what I do that I should when it comes to my diet and weight, to write it down and get it out of my head. Now I just need to get it off my body as well.

Back to Work
Well I finally gotten a job. It's not the one I would have liked to get but it's a paycheck and will be able to work around my classes when I finally get them started. My oldest son is having a harder time adjusting mainly because I've been on 2nd shift and I've only gotten about 30 min a day with him while I'm getting him ready for school. Starting this week I will be on 3rd shift as well so should be a little better for him. I'm just happy to have a paycheck.

Another Day
It's been another day of no call backs for an interview. I hope I can find a job soon. It would be nice to not have to worry how I'm going to pay my bills and get Christmas for my boys. I hate not being able to provide them with even a good Christmas. The weather isn't helping either. One day it's nice and in the 60's and the next it gets down into the mid 20's. I wish it would just stay cold or warm, one or the other.
But I do have a lot to be thankful for, my two handsome and healthy boys, a roof over our heads, food in our bellies. My family and friends who love me. It has been a good year for us in a way. I was able to spend more time with my oldest son since I was laid off. He enjoyed it greatly. He tells me one day he don't want me to go back to work. The next he wants me to so we will have the money to get the things HE wants. lol Ohh how I would never trade him or his brother for anything in the world. Well tomorrow is another day keep your fingers crossed that I get a phone call from someone willing to hire me.

It's been a long time
Yes I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything. I can't assure you that I will be consistant this time but I will try. Since I posted last time my son is now six years old and I have a brand new son who is now 2 months old. I didn't quite remember what all having a baby consist of. The diapers, gas, all the "luggage" it takes just to go to town, the first smile and laugh(which just happened two days ago) and all the other "firsts" that I'm sure will surprise me like the smile did. I can't wait for them.
I am trying to get back in college and go back to work since I've been off work since the beginning of April. My goal is to get my college degree in Business Admin., get a good career with benefits, build a small home for my sons and I on my property and be able to get a savings set aside for "rainy days".
I want to be the mom that my sons can be proud of and look up to. The mom who all the other moms hope they can be. Well maybe not THAT mom but one who at the end of the day can be proud of what I accomplished with no regrets and no "if only I did this" thoughts.
I want my sons to grow up to be the men who treat their partners with love and respect. I want them to go to school and find a career that they love and find a balance with that career and free time to spend with their families or friends.
I don't think my goals and wants are out of reach just ones you have to work for and work to maintain.
Right now my days sort of run together and I miss the structure that I had when I was working. I find myself sitting on my backside way to much. So here's to finding the motivation to achieve my goals.

It can only get better
Wow I lose my job, but I'm like that's ok I have some money to pay bills. Then now I'm told that they can hold my money for another 5 months. So now I have no rent, no utilities, no gas, no cable, no phone. Well technically I still have these things but for how long? I'm a firm believer in every bad thing brings something good. I guess I will have to wait and see.
