Ahhh!! It has been a while since I've written and I apologize. Things have been really crazy lately. My new job, all of my new year's resolutions, a sick baby, and my husband's new job have left very LITTLE time to write (-ahem- type). So I shall do a brief catch up post:
1. My new job rocks! It has been a bit slow at the office, but things are picking up. My manager and the owners are such lovely people, that it's hard thinking anyone could ever work for someone like my old boss. Tyrant! Things have been moving forward, smoothly. I am very grateful! I thank God every time I pass by my old workplace for getting me out of it.
2. My husband got a job! We have been praying for this!! As much as he loves staying at home with our daughter, he also felt as if he was not contributing to our family the way he should. He would get restless and then all down in the dumps. But there were no job openings for a very long time. He was due to go out of state for a job, but it would only be for two months. THEN, this opportunity arose. After weighing our options, he decided to take the job. It is closer to home, full time, and it means a steady paycheck! It is going to help out SO much in getting our debt paid off and that is exactly what we need right now! Again, THANK YOU, GOD!
3. New Years Resolutions SUCK! Yes, they really do. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all of them, but mainly the one that has me back into my skinny jeans. Uggh! I fall off the bandwagon CONSTANTLY! I'm doing this by counting calories on My Fitness Pal. I used to use LoseIt!, but they were limited on items and brands. Anywho, I was on this great streak for like 3 weeks, and then my monthly cycle came, and it went all downhill from there. I started going OVER my budget. Then with it being COLD, I stopped running as much. I thought about doing workouts indoors, but I've been getting home late, and my lunch breaks have been getting cut short because it's starting to pick up. So, I've barely had any time to do anything. Anyway, I had gone down from 183 lbs. to 170 lbs. Now, I am back up to 175 lbs. And then, I received this "warning" on my calorie counter that said if I went to many days UNDER my calorie budget that my body would kick into "starvation mode". Meaning it would start to get hungry A LOT. Causing me to gain weight instead of losing it. UGH!! I just want this belly fat GONE! But I honestly have very little willpower. And seeing pictures of my "old self" are so discouraging. Boooo! No fun. No progress.
4. Cold/Flu Bug. Everyone is sick! My entire family (with the exception of me –which is weird-) is sick or just now getting over being sick. Emery is just now getting over it. She's been miserable! She had fevers, congestion, runny nose, and a really bad cough. We are without insurance, and her doctor has YET to call me back to let me know if they have an opening to see her. She's pretty much over it now though. Then, add the fact that she's teething (bad) and it has not been good times in the Rosenbalm household lately. Thank goodness it is almost over with, I hope...
Not much else has happened. I am trying to start (slowly) a habit of getting up early and being more prepared. Even more "presentable". BUT, that's not going over too well with my sleeping habit. I love sleep! I know, I need to suck it up and start being better and more "on the ball" about things, but really? I am just flat out lazy right now. It snowed a tiny bit yesterday morning, and I was all excited! By 3 pm it had stopped and there was no sign of it coming back. Sad day. Today it's all sunny but cold. Tricked me. I'm so ready for spring to roll in. Running works so much better when your throat doesn't burn from sucking in cold air. Hmmph! I need to do some spring cleaning as well! Can't do that in 20-30 degree weather!
Hope everyone is doing peachy! Leave me some LOVE!
