Good news and bad

I’ve been eating well and doing a daily 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer for a week now and I’m down a total 3 pounds. I feel motivated and good. I don’t want to jinx it but it all came back to me like I had never faltered in the first place. Will power doesn’t even seem to be an issue. I say all this now, but watch it all go bust when I’m PMSing or something. I’m not going to over analyze it, I did good and I feel like I can continue to do so.

The bad news is my husband didn’t get into the teaching program he applied for. He came very close after making it through two of the three interview phases. It’s quite a competitive program and its rough coming so close.

Now having to take the alternate path to teaching is going to be a lot tougher and costlier. I’m already paying off his student loans for his failed attempt at graduate school. I don’t want to pay anymore. I am also afraid he doesn’t have the motivation to handle the tougher route. I’m sad that I have no faith. It looks like I’ll be flying solo taking care of this family for a while longer (that makes me sad too).

I also feel bad for him.
