Oh what a weekend. We went to my brother in laws, we have a lot of our stuff stored there because our house is too small. Well we brought a few things back since we will have more room. I hate eating fast and easy. Don't always work with the whole diet thing. That is okay I will live.
I go back to work tomorrow. Kinda excited kinda tired and hating the idea of putting my girls back in daycare. They need it and I need it. Then I get to come home and pack some more. I just keep telling myself I burn lots of calories packing and moving heavy boxes.
I know how PMS is. Last weekend I felt like I couldn't get my hands on enough chocolate. It is like our bodies are programmed to fight us every step of the way. The good news is I made it through and so will you.
Yesterday I was in a huge hurry, trying to get around to go and all so I didn't get a real workout in. When I got to my mothers to drop my youngest off she wasn't home yet so the hubby and I went for walk. Not a major cardio walk but a nice lieserly(sp?) walk. It was really nice. I never workout on Sundays so I kinda missed my workout.
My new apartment will be closer to work so I am thinking about walking on nice days. It is about half a mile so I could put the girls in the wagon and go. I think it will be a nice way to unwind after work. Well I have rambled on and on so I will go for now.
Don't let the PMS get to you. And feel free to rant to me, that is what I am here for. Well talk to you later, and good luck. You are doing great so far.

Well how was your first day back? Good I hope. Were the girls ok at daycare?
Well I weighed in today and I am up 1 pound. I'm disappointed, but nothing I can do about it now except do better this week (which I intend to). That is one thing about gaining it always motivates me not to the next week. Didn't excercise today, it was my cleaning day.
This is going to be a quickie, I'm on my lunch break. The first day was okay, lots of new faces and some new routines, and several sick employees so we were short, no surprise this time of year. I did have a huge headache by the time I got home. It was a combination of lots of things, not enough sleep or food that kind of headache. Today is going good. It makes me feel good that everyone is glad to see me back.
I have gotten up at four the last two days to do my workout. Yesterday I felt like a huge clutz but I am sure it will get better. Today was better. I only got in 30 minutes both days but hope to have the energy to do more tonight. Well I must run, don't wanna be late, I will talk to you later.
Jen
I'm back! Hope things are going well for you. Do you have to work this weekend? I hope not, that would suck! Well not much new here, I dug out all my WW stuff this AM and have decided to count points starting today. I feel a little out of control and could use some structure I think. Well I am off to the grocery store and I think I am going to look for a new watp tape while I'm there. I need some variety. Talk to you soon I hope.
Sorry I have been gone so long. This last week has just been hectic. Yeah I had to work this weekend. I am trying not to stress out over everything that is going on. My husband has decided at the last minute to try to get a job in Lincoln, which would work out great for us and all but to change at the last minute, yikes.
I have decided not to weigh myself so often. It like I am obsessed. I need to focus more on things other than a number. I am thinking about just once a month. I really don't know for sure yet. I know I have eaten like a pig this last 4 or five days. Ouch, and havent' worked out like I should. Well I have a ton of work to get done. I will check in tomorrow.
Jen
Glad you are back. Sorry to hear that your life is hectic right now. Hopefully things will even out soon. My life is a little crazy too w/ taxes and all. My hubby leaves Wed for an 11 day trip to Idaho. I will miss him but I think it will nice to be alone so I can really put a lot more effort into weightloss. I will be able to be very selfish w/ my time to workout and I won't have to cook for him (and won't be tempted by what he eats).
I weighed in today and am down 1 pound. Better than nothing.
Emjay,
Well another day has come and gone. I haven't been excersizing like I should. I know I need to find the time but right now it is impossible. I am thinking about getting an elliptical.
I really haven't been sticking to my diet but I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Well I have so much packing to do. I will check in again soon.
Jen
You have a lot going on right now, I can totally understand why you have been a little off track. It's probably just going to take you a little time to get into a groove. But don't let it get you down, you have done great so far. I was just thinking about the name of this thread "Time to start again". I think I am going to treat everyday as time to start again, if I mess up today tomorrow will be better. I didn't fit excercise in today but will definately be back to it tomorrow. I had a job interview today and got the job, Salon manager in a hair salon. I am excited but now I will be in your shoes soon when I start working. But the good thing is that 30 hours is considered full time so I will have some extra time for excercise I hope. I think I will be quitting my cleaning jobs I haven't totally decided though.
Congrats on the new job I am sure it feels great. I know I was feeling very cocky yesterday afternoon when I got off work. I hate to brag but I am very good at what I do. I am an awesome aid. Well as I was leaving yesterday I over heard one of my nurses talking about me. She told another one of my nurses that I am really good. The other one said yeah I had a great day. How well we work makes their day go smoother. And the compliment came from a nurse that is very hard to please, so that made it all that much better.
My job is hard on my diet. Getting enough to drink is an issue. By the time I get home I feel famished, even though I do eat at work. I have oatmeal for breakfast, sometype of snack between 9 and 10, then lunch. I need some delicious, low calorie, filling snacks to eat when I get home from work. That seems to be the time that kills me.
Right now I am just going to focus on getting moved, then jump head first back into weight loss, don't worry I am by no means giving up, no way on that, I just won't let it be another source of stress for me right now.
Good luck with the new job. Hope it works out well for you. Well I must go, no matter how hard I try I just can't get these boxes to pack themselves.
That is awesome about the compliment at work. That always makes me feel good too. I liked that job too, I found it very rewarding. Do you have good co-workers or is there alot of people who don't pull their weight too well? That is what I found when I worked in that position, the latter one that is. I am excited to start my job I have an orientation on Monday and probably get my schedule after that. I have not been a stylist in a salon in a long time (like 13 years). But I never quit doing hair in my kitchen. But I'm looking forward to doing it more again. The management aspect will be cool too.
Well, not so great on food today. And I was half way thru a 3 mile watp tape today when my husband called. I had to answer it (usually I don't answer the phone while I'm working out), anyway when I got off the phone they were at the last 1/2 mile. So I got about 2 miles in. I'll shoot for 3 again tomorrow.
Emjay,
The weather was beautiful today. Didn't even need a jacket it was so wonderful.
I'm thinking about checking out a new workout to see if that helps jumpstart stuff for me. I hate to say I am bored with Taebo I am just having a lot of trouble doing it. I think what I need is more variety. Maybe I will see what I can come up with this weekend.
At work we have a little of both. That is okay cause the area I work I really don't have to worry about finding help. Most everyone on the hall is either independent or one assist so I am alone.
Well I am hoping my husband gets home soon, so I should go get supper started.
Talk to you later.
Jen
Hello Hello
Well the day is off to a great start. I finally got brave enough to weigh myself this am. I have eaten like a pig and not worked out in since last Wed. I haven't gained any weight. I think my job is saving my butt literally. But then I am on my feet all day. I sit long enough for a quick break and a quick lunch, but I walk constanlty for most of the shift. I am in a wonderful mood.
My hubby and I talked about my diet briefly this morning. I am thinking about giving slimfast a serious try. I am really sucking at structuring my meals around work and all. I am planning on having oatmeal for breakfast, then a shake at my 9:30 break, and one for lunch, then healthy low cal snack after work. Then a nice well balanced with lots of veggies supper. Sounds easy enough not to have to put too much thought into it with work and all. I am going to give it a shot. I really don't take time to eat at work anyway so this may really help.
I finally decided to check out ebay, and I actually bought something. I am a precious moments collector and my bid won on an Aug plate. I want to bid on more but I need to wait until I get them all unpacked so I don't double up on anything by mistake. When I finish here I am going to look into workout videos.
Well I am quite the little chatterbox today. But then this is my day off and I got good sleep last night so I feel totally refreshed and like this is my chance to get some stuff turned around. Well I need to go.
Talk to you later.
Jen
The weather here is quite nice too. Well, only about 44 degrees but that is warm for January or February. It has been very sunny the past couple of days. I still haven't went to the tanner yet. Got to get there at least a few times this month before we leave for FL. I failed to work out yesterday, I had a busy day. I am going to definately make time for it today. And I had pizza last night, that is such a no no food for me. But I feel as though I need to have it about once a month. Oh well!
Down 1 pound today. Had my orientation at my new job and then out to dinner w/ friends after that so I didn't get a workout in. But I did 4-mile watp Saturday and 2-mile on Sunday. I was so proud of myself for getting six miles in in two days. Clean house tomorrow so I may not get one in. Talk to you later. MJ
