Take A Break
Wow it seems like forever since I've been near my computer. I finally joined the workforce again and getting up and 4 am and working 9 hours on top of playing mommy to 4 busy kids has really worn me out. I am glad to finally be back to work and making some money though. It seems that I have found a good place to work, which is always a plus. It is just taking me some time to adjust to getting up, working out, getting myself ready, and getting the kids up THEN putting in 9 hours at work. I'm getting there it just is taking some time.
On a completely selfish note I've lost 8 pounds since May 1. I truly committed myself to working out 6 times a week for at least 30 minutes (most days it is more like 45) and making better food choices and eating less. I finally hit a point after Marissa was born that I just don't want to be the "fat" mom and I want to be able to play with the kids. So I starting making lifestyle changes and really committed to it May 1 so I could have a day that I could look back on and say that is the day this started. I also finally admitted to myself that I am on over eater/binge eater and stopped buying the foods that triggered that behavior. That has been the best thing I could have done, it has helped me greatly. Hopefully I keep my motivation and my momentum and don't slack off this time.
