I did find a nursing job and have been working for a great salary which is awesome!  :) :)  It’s hard and I am always on my feet, but most days I really love it.

The biggest thing is I am PREGNANT!  We are expecting a little boy on November 27th, 2011…. SO I am 29 weeks… just a little over 2 months to go… that is really why I haven’t updated… I have spent too much time thinking about weight loss honestly….  I haven’t been eating the best, I try but some days are better than others….  I have gained about 35 lbs so far!

I have really been thinking about how I can’t wait to get back to WW.  I am want to feel healthy again to be able to play with Willy when he gets bigger!  I was thinking I might track points now, but not limit them to start to get back into the habit of tracking again before I can go back to meetings.

Has anyone else done this? 

I am still getting the spam comments- I hope they stop soon like someone mentioned in the last post!!  I will keep my fingers crossed… I would love some real followers though! 

I have become so bored with WW/calorie counts that I have decided to go back to South Beach Diet again… I have done it before with success (stopped when I stopped losing weight- I think I was eating too much of the allowed foods!)  So I am hoping to rid my body of cravings and a few lbs before moving on to phase II slowly….  I plan to count calories also once I get to Phase II because I don’t want to over eat the healthy foods like I have done in the past! 

Today is the first weigh in for the weight loss contest I am in…. I feel like I didn’t lose anything as I had a few free for all days of eating including CANDY!!  Ugh!!  But if I gain I have to pay!  Yikes!!!  I hope I am the same at least rather than a gain…  It was my TOM this week so maybe I was retaining water last week cause the weight was quite high compared to normal…. We will see as I weight in 2 hours….

I am on the search for a nursing job… I can’t wait to get at it!  :)  Now if someone will just call me back! 

Later all-

This week has been awesome!  Monday I took my NCLEX-RN and Wednesday I found out I passed!  :)  I am now a Registered Nurse- just trying to find a job now!

I don’t have much time to write today just wanted to check in!

I have been quite overwhelmed still, but I was counting and measuring everything!  My weigh in on Saturday I was exactly the same as the previous week…. this was really disappointing to me and I believe these feelings are mixed in with the stress of moving away from my family and friends, finding a place quickly, and getting people willing to drive that far to help us move either this weekend or next weekend!  So needless to say I did not cope with these feelings well today…  I will get back at the measuring, counting, and tracking points ASAP!  I am yummy low point/high protein dinner after spin….

Tomorrow I think I am going to head to the new town where we will be moving to take a look at apartments-  I hope to pick one and apply, etc tomorrow….  Wish me luck all!!

Night-

It’s also official we are moving an hour and a half away to a new town…. I am getting a bit overwhelmed trying to find a new place cause my hubby wants to move soon cause he doesn’t want to commute for too long at that distance….

I just feel like there is so much to do and by the time I get home from work, go to gym, and make dinner I don’t have any time left to really do much of anything!  Grrrrrrrr…….

I am done complaining now…. LOL  Night!

Today has been an awesome and frustrating day!  I had to work today so a good part of the day was at work at my Mom’s shop… It is what I do till I can get a nursing job, but sometimes I don’t enjoy it always…..  Today it was blah- but it’s work… not always fun…  If we could get the inventory done it would better!  I would rather help the customers than be stuck at the computer all day-

Once I got home, hubby and I went to spinning for class # 2… I really do like spinning!  I think I could get addicted… he he he I had a good workout, but I think I might not have pushed hard enough… I think I could have done more with the resistance level… (it seemed harder last time anyway…)

Once we left spinning, My husband was stressed about a job prospect- he isn’t getting much feedback from them when they said they would communicate-  He is going in to meet with the boss tomorrow, but doesn’t have an idea of what the offer will be even though they advised him they would email him a propsal to review before going in on Tuesday… Because he doesn’t ahve the actual proposal he feels that they are somehow going to take away the job offer or offer less than the verbal offer.  I am afraid I am not being supportive enough for him… in general he take a more negative outlook and with out praise/affirmation from others he begins to doubt his abilities- that is what happened in this case regarding the job.  He became upset with me because he said I don’t understand him… My biggest fear is that is true-  I don’t believe it, but what if he is right?  We have different general outlook on life, people, etc-  I try to put myself in his shoes and feel how he feels, but it is difficult.  I guess I can only keep trying on that respect-  Things are ok again, but he is definatley anxious about this job prospect and if it doesn’t pan out finding another…..  I will have to work at being MORE supportive if I possibly can until he can feel more secure/stable with a job.  (He just graduated from college with his Masters for Electrical Engineering- FYI)

I am feeling a bit worried about the NCELX!  It seems the days I have to work I don’t always have time to study….  I suppose as long as I get the average of 180 per day all should be good….

I will call it a night all-

Can’t wait to get studying tomorrow!

I just had the yummiest soup ever!  I made Minnestrone (spicy) and it was so filling and low in Points + for a good size serving 12 oz…….  My hubby loved it as well…. He usually likes what I cook though so nothing new there… he he he

I had a great day…. Counted my points and used some weekly points on dark chocolate- good Choice in my mind!  I Got in a 35 minute walk even though my legs are still killing me from that last work out and now I am just getting ready to relax by playing my SIMS family for a bit…. (we have a baby on the way!  LOL)

I have to work again tomorrow, but we did sign up for spin again because I liked it so much last week… I hope my legs aren’t so painful though!  Right now they are really sore and it hurts to bend down or go up stairs, etc….

Well- I am going to call it a night….

later!

Might have not been the best timing since I weighed in this am… I am up, but I haven’t been to WW to weight for 2 weeks so I am down per my scale anyway….  I am going to keep up with tracking and increased workouts and the scale will reflect!

My husband and I are going to sign up for spinning again as we did our first class on 1/3- I loved it!  It was hard, challenging but doable-  I like instructor we had as well…

Well…. I should be answering NCLEX questions now not blogging… I need to do 180 minimum, but should do more since I only did 75 yesterday… I need to do 180 a day to get in 5000 questions before the test!  (that is the recommended amount of questions btw)

This New Year has been great!  I am graduated from nursing school and studying now for the NCLEX-RN test which I scheduled for 2/3/2011…. That is only 1 month to study!  Ahhhhhhh!!!  It would be expensive if I failed and had to retest…. I know I am going to Rock this though!

The last few months have been rough and i have really maintained with 5 lbs… not much loss going on or too much gain…  except over Christmas which I believe I gained about 5 more lbs… I weigh in tomorrow so I hope to see a decrease!  I have been working hard this week using the 100lb thread Point challenge and Easter challenge as motivation.

I have a bit more time know so I plan to get back to my blogging…. i enjoyed it when I was posting regularly and I enjoyed having followers… I need to get reading to get a few people in my corner again! 

I will post a recent pic as I haven’t added any in a few months….. Later all’

On a side note, I wanted to talk about my blah feeling lately…  Maybe sharing all my feelings here will be helpful for that as well.

Later all-
