Well I feel accomplished. Most nights I'm able to finish a few things. I'm putting together Sam's bday, the boys bday, working, taking care of the kid, cleaning the house, losing weight, exercising, eating healthier. I just seriously think life will never slow down anymore. It's just a constant go-go-go. Which can be good, but exhausting sometimes.
So, some updates
- Ricky and I are in a challenge to see who loses 40lbs first. I'm hopin I can buckle down and do this. Some things I need to keep in mind are: I lose weight best when I don't eat late at night and stay away from salty foods, protein keeps me fuller and satisfied longer, as long as I have a health snack with me, I can get through the day. if I keep my points at about 24 per day I think I can lose a lb a day. Need to watch out for things I know can get me...like mexican food (chips) and desserts.
- Work is going well. I just need to keep focused.
- I still need to go through and figure out what would make life easier. Still leaning towards a cleaning service, but Ricky is right...probably won't need one once Will moves out. Still....

Weekly Touchbase
I guess I should give myself credit for the things I AM doing first:
- I am drinking less Diet Coke.
- I am eating MORE fruits and veggies.
- I am MOVING more.
- I am prepping more foods.
- I am using my Franklin at home.
- I am staying on top of cleaning the house.
- I am spending more time with Ricky.
- I am reading more.
Some of the areas I could improve (this week):
- I will give more focus and attention to my relationship. Let Ricky know specifically how I adore him and enjoy being with him.
- I will log everything I eat and drink more water.
- I will organize my projects and devote time to them.
- I will continue to do what I have been doing.
In order to accomplish this, I will update my schedule and I will review it before and after work.

So Much Better
Who knew that a change in job could make such a difference? I've been struggling all this time, thinking I just needed to change my outlook and go figure, it was actually my job. Of course, any new job is going to be less stressful than an old one, but the people are so nice here and I'm back to doing what I love and what I know. Amazing!
And apparently people like me here, so that helps too. Now to just get the rest of my life back in order. My house is a mess right now. My love life is doing a little better. And yes, I believe my relationship is going well, however the man can put a good slant on things even when he's not happy so I will need to keep an eye on it.
Next goal: Lose weight and eat healthy. This is my primary directive for all of us. I know if both of us lost about 20 lbs each, we'd be immensely more happy and much healthier. I just need to figure out some foods that will be worth it to both of us.
Sidenote: As far as finances are concerned, it's getting better. We still have a few left to pay off, but it's not nearly as bad as it was. Speaking of. I think I'll make it my new task on Tuesdays to do finances and go through mail. See if I can chip away at what's left. At least we only have less than a year to pay off that mini! Woohoo!!
