Days Eighty-Four to Eighty-Eight

     So the last five days have been interesting. Good, but interesting.  I have eaten well and workout. My primary client has hired me full time as of tonight (yea!) so I will be working five solid days a week again. In fact we spent an hour on the phone tonight. We have all gotten new phones this week which is great! Kayla loves hers, in fact she has texting now and spends tons of time on the darn thing. I have a new iPhone, I have missed having mine. And, Rus likes his new phone.  Better yet, they are all new and won't have the issues we were having with our old ones.
     I have been watching kids a little more lately than usual, which is nice. I love my nieces and nephews, as well as our friends kids and enjoy having small ones around ( at least for a few hours here and there!).  Kayla is doing well in school, except that her spelling still sucks but, hey, I can't have everything my way I guess!
     We are definitely getting more busy as the weather gets nicer. Last week we had dinner at one friend's house, and went out to dinner with another friend the next night. This next week is my step-daughter's birthday, so we will be there one evening, the next night at another friend's house and more of the same the following weekend with some Easter cheer thrown in for fun! I am getting more and more excited for Memorial day weekend just to get out of town and chill out for a couple of days!
     So while the getting is good, I am getting off of here. I am going to finish a couple of things and go to bed. Have a great night everyone and thank you for all of your support!

Day Eighty-Three

     Today was a good day. I ate well and worked out. Kayla and I did this new "workout" someone posted on my wall on facebook. It's called the Harry Potter workout. Every time something happens in the movie ( like a spell is cast or someone says "He Who Must Not Be Named" ) you have to do an exercise. We had to do lunges, crunches, jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups, and squats. It seemed like every three or four minutes you have to get up and do something. After an hour of I was tired. Our goal for Monday ( as she will be gone Saturday and most of Sunday) is to a whole movies worth. Then to do that as an addition workout three times a week. That works out okay as we like the movies!
     I am off to bed as I have a really early morning tomorrow. We are going to hit a friend's yard sale then I have to work. Have a great night all and God Bless You!

Days Seventy-Six to Eighty-Two

     I have been having some good and productive days. I have been eating well and exercising, as well cleaning house and working. Unfortunately I found out a couple of days ago that one of my clients has passed on. I am saddened by this. I did not know this person all that well but I was looking forward to continuing to get to know them as well as working with them. May God hold this person tight in His love and this person's family to heal. I am sorry to be so vague but it is a privacy issue and I cannot disclose ANY information about my clients.
     Beside this very sad event, things have been good for me. I am looking forward to continuing to build my reputation as an Individual Care Provider and gaining more clients. I am looking forward to Kayla's spring break and just finished her conferences at school. They were all positive but has shown us that there is still work to be done. Especially with her spelling. Rus and I have a plan for that one. We are going to get her a new phone and let her have texting. If she texts us something we don't understand or even if we do but it is spelled wrong we are going to text her back and tell to spell it correctly. We are asking every one of our family and friends that she may text to please do the same thing. I think this is the best way to get her to work on it, as we have tried everything else we could think and it still doesn't stick!
     Well that is all for me tonight. Have a great night everyone! God Bless You!

Day Seventy-Five

     Today was a good day. I ate well and exercised. I got some housework done, played a game with my daughter and my step-daughter came over for a minute. The only way it could have gotten better was if it was my husband's day off and he was home.
     Tomorrow will be another good day. I am looking forward to July and beating my dad. He spent a week in Vegas and I don't think he did very well! I wasn't there but there is so many yummy treats in Vegas it is hard to resist eating some of them!
     I am heading to bed so have a great night everyone!

Days Fifty-Eight to Seventy-Four

     So the time has gotten away from me. I did not realize that it had been so long since my last update. Here is what has been going on.
     I have been maintaining my healthy eating and most keeping to my exercise routine. I will admit that have been a couple of days here and there that I did not exercise. Most because I let myself get distracted. I am working on distractions right now. I won't let myself get distracted from my final goals and that means getting back on track. I did exercise last night and tonight, but was exhausted after my daughter's sleepover ( for her birthday) and did not exercise Sunday night.
     My eating is on track and I am continuing to lose about a pound a week. I am just trying to find a way to manage life, my daughter, exercise, healthy eating, and work.
    Thank you for sticking with and by me. I love each and everyone of you. Have a great day and God Bless You!

Days Fifty-Six and Fifty-Seven

     The last two days have been good days. i am sorry I did not post last night though. By the time I had finished working, cleaning house, making salads for a barbecue today, doing dishes and exercising I was exhausted and went to bed. Today consisted of working, planning Kayla's family birthday party, school party and friends' party, going to a barbecue and exercising. Again I am feeling exhausted.
     I have to work tomorrow for a new client, pay a bill, exercise, cook, do dishes, yada yada yada. I love my busy life but am looking forward to Kayla's spring break in April so we can go unwind at the beach. Five days of fun in the sand!
     I happy with my weight loss to date. Of course I wish it would come off a little faster but, oh well. I am still looking forward to kicking my dad's butt and winning a hundred bucks to go shopping with!
     That is all for me today. Have a great night everyone and God Bless You all!

Day Fifty-Five

     Today was a great day. I got a lot accomplished. Kayla and I finished the play room and I re-arranged some of the living room furniture. I washed the couch and sofa covers, got some more laundry done, cleaned the kitchen, did some grocery shopping, and interviewed with a new client (got the job on the spot). I ate well and exercised too.
     I am still finishing up some laundry and still have a little more cleaning I want to do after I get home from work tomorrow.  We are having a friend's children over for the night so Kayla has been cleaning her room to make sure it is ready. For that alone I should have kids over more often, it is the only time I don't have to fight her to clean the darn thing!
     I am happy with my weight loss progress. I will admit to wishing it would go faster, but I am happy with where I am at in my journey. I am looking for a new exercise game for our Wii though. I love Dance Workout but I would like to change it up a bit. Any recommendations?
     That is all for me tonight. I am going to go finish with the laundry and go to bed. Have a great night everyone!
