mom4's Journal

  Well, school is officially over today!!!! Thank god, I dont think my husband or I could have taken much more in the mornings. Jacob has been a miserable monster for the last month about getting up and getting ready for school. I can tell when it is time for a break because he starts his I hate school, school is boring crap and it is a fight to the bitter end to get him to go to the door and get on the bus.

 My husband and I both kind of breathed  a sigh of relief this morning, looked at each other and said, " Thank god it is the last day!!"

 Other good news, I got a new job!!!!! I am still working in the same hospital but I am going to a different dept. I will be working in Pt. Accounts / billing. I have my own desk and my own little cubicle and it is mine, mine, all mine!!!

The best part of all is the fact that I will go to work when my kids go to school and I will come home right after they get home!!!! NO more  10 - 6 crap. I will actually see my family!!!! I cant wait to start, July 1st, they need to fill my position, my bosses boss told me congrats, and that he will miss me and I will be hard to replace. I needed to hear that. It is good to know people do recognize you occassionally. Always when your leaving, not when your busting your butt for them huh???

 Lets see, Other good news, I am doing really well on WW. I have a meeting tonight. If the scales are correct here, I have now lost 13 pds, but we will see tonight. I have been riding my bike at least 3 miles in the morning and walking at least a mile every evening when I get home. I think it has done a world of good for my stress level too. I dont feel so worked up and anxious any more. I guess I am alieviating a lot of it through excersise. That is a good thing. Beside the fact that I generally am just feeling better and healthier and I am proud of myself for sticking to it.

That is really half the battle, staying motivated to stay on it and keep going. My mom is not going to WW with me tonight, she is really letting me down, but in another strange way, she motivates me to keep going. Is that weird??? That her lack of commitment makes me want it all the more??? I dont know, I am so sick of hearing her whine about her weight and her lack of willingness to do anything about it.I guess that is what is motivating me, I dont want to be fat anymore!!!!! I dont want people looking at me or listening to me say I dont want to be fat while I sit and stuff a sub in my mouth ya know??? It is kind of silly. 

I am just in that mind set of it is my time to shine, and I am going to do it!!!

I am not saying I havent had a treat here or there, I have but that is the nice thing about WW, I can have a treat here and there and its OK!!

But I can say I am alot more conscious about what I am putting in my mouth. 

 I even have a pair of underwear on today that I couldnt wear a month ago because they would roll down my belly. You know what I mean ladies if you have on panties that are too small and have a belly, They roll.

 Well, they arent rolling today!!!!!!   

  I hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying the begining of their summer. I am just glad that school is OUT!!!!!
