Week 1 weigh in this morning..

Well today was the day I got up and weighed in and it wasn't my best 1st week weigh in but I'll take it! I LOST 2lbs this week! So I'm down to 179.4 back out of the 180's. Don't have a lot of time today got called into work evenings today on my ONLY day off this week til next weekend.. but its overtime and more money I can put away! Have a great day!

Day 2 & 3..

                                                               

I was off yesterday since I picked up a double on Monday.. exhausting! I stayed in my jammies all day and checked out FB and played Dice with Buddies.... that's about it! I wasn't feeling the best my throat has been bothering me since Sunday but I did eat my food I'm supposed to and was good! I was pretty hungry still last night after supper so I had an extra bowl of cereal.

Today was a crazy day from hell at work! Oh and let me just say I hate the VA!! What a joke! It just disgusts me that these men and woman protect our country and getting anything from them idiots is like pulling teeth! Just ridiculous!! I packed my food for work so I had my yogurt with granola for breakfast, my salad for lunch with a hard boiled egg, and some strawberries for snack. Then when I got home I had another egg, 3 little pieces of roast beef and some baby carrots. Right now I'm waiting on Ray to get home so we can take a walk since its 48 degrees outside. I feel like I'm getting off to a good start with working now and my life being so different but I will make it! I'm really kinda looking forward to Monday and seeing what the scale says! I haven't had or even craved a root beer since Sunday! Wooohoooo! That's awesome cuz I love me some ROOT BEER!!!!




P.S. Happy 60th Birthday to my sister in law Sharon today! Love you lots!

Day 1..

Well I weighed myself this morning... 181.4!! OMG! Sooo not happy about that! But today I am starting over and I have done really well! I packed my food for work and did awesome!!! Had a yogurt for breakfast, big salad for lunch and chicken fajita soup for supper since I worked 14.5 hours today.
I'm off tomorrow since I agreed to stay over tonight so maybe I'll get a walk in or something we'll see! Its sooo cold out there!
Well off to play with Dice with Buddies! Have a great night!!!

Been 6 months.. holy cow!

    Its been a crazy 6 months here but life is going well.. I cant complain! We had an awesome Christmas and New Year but now we looking forward to what 2013 has in store for us!

    I have been at my full time job now a bit over 6 months and since November I'm the full time memory unit day shift nurse! Woooohoooo! Love my little residents back there! Working the same shift as Ray and being home in the evening with my guys makes me feel alot more human.. I like night shift but its rough on family time and relationships!

    Since July though I have gained 15 pounds back (one of the joys of being a nurse no breaks and too busy to eat during the day) I was sooo happy where I was headed health wise in July and right now Im just disgusted with myself so several of us at work decided tomorrow is the day to get back on track. I will pack myself fruits and veggies and somehow make time to get my meals in.

    Friday evening we spent it grocery shopping for hours (couponing takes time) but ended
up spending 105 at Schnucks and saved 115.00 I love TRIPLE COUPONS!!!! Ended up running back to Schnucks last night.. spent 10.05 and saved 20.17 I got 4.19 air fresheners for 9 cents! Thats right 9 cents!!! Free Blistex, free band aids and several other things for 50 cents or less! Woooohoooo!

    Spent my day yesterday with Donna and my Aunt Jackie at the Big Goodwill and then headed to the casino for a night of fun (and we did have fun!)

   Making ham and beans for dinner tonight and of course there will be corn bread.. Ray is looking forward to it!

   Tomorrow I will start posting on my journey again thankfully Ray said he would be by my side to help me anyway he can through this! He is sooo supportive and helps me daily in so many ways and for that I will forever be grateful and I appreciate it more than he knows!

Have an awesome Sunday!!
