189 and things are going well

Wow I was very surprised to see 189 on the scale this morning. I’ve been eating really crappy. I just haven’t been paying any attention to it and indulging here or there. I’ve been so busy and tired trying to get in the groove of being a full time employee and a stay at home mom at the same time. To reference a familiar old adage, I resemble a chicken with their head cut off.

While extremely difficult, I’m very happy to be a part of and seeing more of my daughter’s everyday life.

In other news things are going very well with my husband and his job. He works a ton and he’s really enjoying it, he seems so much happier. We appreciate each other’s company a lot more now that our time together is much more limited. He just found out that he got accepted into a teaching fellowship program that will allow him to make a good living as a full fledged teacher while acquiring certification and a master’s degree at the same time. And the master’s degree is fully paid for as well! He’s beginning to see his life shape into what he had intended it to a while ago and it’s all attainable in such a way that we don’t have to go completely broke doing it.

So things are good. My stress is mostly physical rather than the emotionally draining depressive kind. My main goal right now (even a higher priority than eating right) is trying to incorporate an exercise program into my crazy daily routine. I need to keep my stress down and get physically fit to keep up with the demand on my body.

This weekend I plan on stripping my deck as the first step in refinishing it. By Monday I will probably be completely broken.

Happy Mother’s day!
