This time it’s for real

This quote really spoke to me. While reading around on other blogs I saw this and was like I do believe I am stronger than I know! I think it’s going to be my new mantra each time I think “I really want that (insert bad food here)” or “I can’t do (insert exercise here) because (insert excuse here).”

Yesterday calories were really good! I got 1410 calories but my fat grams were 64 for the day (I try to get 60 or less). I know this is because of dinner, hubby wanted hot dogs and I was like sure why not- but today should be better. I WANTED to make mustard chicken but I’m out of chicken breast- I thought I had more but realize oops nope I have wings gah. That’s okay I’m grilling steak and making one of those steamer bags of veggies- I think it’s green beans, red peppers, and red skinned potatoes YUM.

Got in an hour workout yesterday as well. I did half an hour of weights and today my arms are a little sore woo hoo!

Work is busy as usual- we moved into the new pre-amp area and cleared out the old one. There are a few large pieces of equipment left but I refuse to lift those things… Of course when I say “we” moved I mean mostly me. One intern helped for about ten minutes (I’m glad he’s leaving in 6 weeks he acts like half the stuff is above him…). The other did help me a lot but in the end I ended up re-arranging the room and putting everything where it is going to go for now and then also tossing out all the trash and items we don’t need anymore.

Some exciting news is hubby has a job interview for an IT position this Friday! I’m SOOOO excited for him. Yesterday we were talking about children and buying a home and I told him that I’m at the point I can’t do anything but wait for a position to open (there are FIVE open positions but there is currently a hiring freeze…). When that position opens I will be making more than twice what I make now- then with him finding a job within his degree (even if it doesn’t pay much) and both of us working hard on our business I really can see ourselves buying a home within a year and possibly getting pregnant

That just makes me want to work even HARDER to lose the weight BECAUSE I want to be a healthy mother and have a good pregnancy

Things seem to be working out so well at this moment it’s almost scary- I just keep praying that it continues to go well… I pray my husband gets this job- so many things would just fall into place if he did!

Have a good day everyone!

Oh and PS tried the Ezekiel bread it was pretty good! I was worried I’d be eating cardboard lol.
