Today's a big day :)

Well, hello everyone. Yeah, yeah, I've failed at blogging every day. I just plain haven't felt like it.

So, what can I tell you today...I've lost, in 3 weeks, a total of 9.2 pounds. WAHOO!!! And I really haven't felt hungry, or looked at something and said "Man, I really want that, but I can't have it". Let me just tell you...If I've wanted something, I've eaten it. This is the best diet ever. It's not even really a diet, it's more of a lifestyle change.

I start a new job today!!! I can't remember if I blogged about the one I was offered in the next town over...calling insurance companies (exciting...NOT), working PT...well, I was so stressed, because it would have paid for gas, and maybe after school care for Wyatt, but nothing else, but I hated turning down a job. Well, the day before I was offered that one, I was offered a full time job, in town, working as a medical assistant. PERFECT!!! Thank you, Lord! The best part is that I get off early Wednesdays (perfect for church) and Fridays (Need I say more?) I am sooo excited. Dad goes to this doctor, and he, along with everyone else I've talked to, has said that it's not an easy doctor to work for, that I will be so busy. Honestly, I'm ok with that. It will make the day go by faster, and the pounds come off easier. (I know, I know, more easily, but, really, easier flowed better) I couldn't sleep very well last night, I was so scared I would oversleep. Don't you hate that?

Happy Monday!

Here I am :)

OK, so...there's lots to blog about.

First, the good stuff. My weight is down 6 pounds since starting Weight Watchers. YEAH!!! 6 pounds in 2 weeks, and I really don't feel at all deprived, I can eat whatever I want (And I didn't give up coffee) I even (looks around secretly) ate a bag of peanut butter cups this week. Seriously. This is the Best. Diet. Ever.

If you're a Love Dare blog follower, you've probably noticed I haven't updated it. Well, there's a reason. Randy does want to go back to PA. So, right wrong or indifferent, I'm kinda backing my heart out so that I can deal with it more easily. This whole divorce thing was my idea, but had really wanted to make it work.

I had a job interview last week. The office manager seemed pretty nice, so I think I will like working there. I have the after school care all set up for Wyatt, now I just have to figure out what to do for vacations. I know I will figure something out. I really believe God will provide. Hopefully I get the job. It's in the next town, so that part I don't really like, but it is what it is.

Morning, everyone!!

Good grief, it was hard to get out of bed this morning. I am hurting. Lots to do today though. I have to go to a doctor's office to fill out an application...I'm not sure how I feel about it, because it is a hair further from home than I would like...but I don't really feel like I'm in a position to be picky, either. Honestly, I'd just be grateful to have a job. Especially one that is in a medical office. We will see. I mean, it's certainly not like they've even offered it to me.

Still not working out yet. I know that I feel better when I'm moving, but I'm certainly not going to work out. I will wait until I'm pain free for that. Since I have to go into a bigger town today, maybe I will just go walk around the mall for a little while to let my hip loosen up. I know I really have nothing to complain about, so many people have it far worse, but I really want to get back into working out! You know, though, yesterday I read something that says you should only make one major change at a time. So maybe this is meant to slow me down until I get back in the point counting groove.

I am pretty upset about something. I have several friends with MS, one who is my weekly coffee date. Yesterday I attempted to register for an MS walk, and found that the closest one is over 2 hours away. I emailed our local chapter office to see what we can do to have one closer, and I haven't heard anything back. It may be too late for this year anyway, we may have to wait until next year. I do think I will sign up for the one in GA. What is a 2 hour drive compared to what so many people are going through? I really think we need to raise awareness. This is a horrible disease, and watching my friend cry because she can't stay after church for Sunday small groups just breaks my heart. I will keep y'all posted on that.

I'm comin' I'm comin'

OK, so I didn't forget to blog today. I've just been trying to think of what to blog about.

I totally missed church last night. I hate that. I do feel much better after I go. Stupid back.

I'm keeping my WW points down today. I'm going to an in home party tonight, so I want to conserve those suckers! I didn't use my weekly points yet, since I had planned to use them for the church supper last night.

I'm excited. One of the girls I've met at church and I have made plans to have a standing coffee date every Wednesday morning. I'm so excited about it. Coffee and a girlfriend. Could it get any better?

Can you tell I'm really trying to fill this in with mindless chatter?

Why is it that employers get your resume, then you wait. And wait. And wait. Then you interview. And wait. And wait. And wait. And this is SC, where they move slower than molassess. So there's extra waiting.

Talk about an eye opener...

So the other day I took my "before" picture. I didn't suck it in, I relaxed, stood like I normally do...I even was wearing a pair of shorts and a sports bra. No worries! I'm not posting it, so no need to cover your eyes and scream. Let's just say it wasn't pretty. But I needed to see it. I needed to see that this is how I look, and I KNOW I want to look (and feel) better. I even did all my measurements.
Now, don't laugh, but this morning I pulled a muscle. In my butt. Doing hula hoops for Wii. Shameful, really. Stop laughing!
So a friend called, and I have a potential lead for a job. We will see how it goes! Keep your fingers crossed, pray, whatever... I really have mixed emotions. Yes, I need a job. But I really REALLY love staying home. No, I don't sit all day, I do stuff around the house, so it's not laziness. But I like cooking, I like being the one picking Wyatt up from school and helping him with homework. I know all moms enjoy the same things, but I really have been happier than ever doing that. It's just not an option anymore.
