Thursday 9-15

WOW this week just flew by! I'm off tomorrow!! Yayyy!! It's nice to have that rest up time, but I can't believe how much I love my job! I'm doing pretty good at it too which really helps!! Everyone has been nice for the most part and I love my managers. Even though times are really tough at home finacially, I still feel so blessed right now to have a job that I love so much!

Sooo busy!!

It's been a while since I've written but I've been so busy! I got the job at Walmart and it seemed to happen in a whirlwind! I updated application online and 2 days later they called me to come in for an interview a day or so later! I was so happy! I had to do the back ground check and drug screen and a day after that was done they called me and said everything came back and then it was on to the orientation! I've been working ever since. I think today will be my 4th day of working, but I just went on the register for the first time last night. I'm sure I will do much more of that tonight when I go in. The weekend was really tough food wise. I had to work from 8-5 and it was a challenge. I didn't follow the plan, but I did eat healthy and did the best I could. My usual shift will be from 6-11 (or so). That will be much easier to deal with food wise because I can eat dinner before I go to work and then I don't have to eat at all at work. Hopefully I can stay more on track that way. On the upside, I've gotten a ton more exercise over these past few days! That's always a good thing. I will write here as often as I can, but I'm not on the computer as much so it may not be everyday.

Day 53

Fabulous!!!! The scale moved for me today!!!!! What a great way to start a very exciting day!!!!!

Day 52

Well tomorrow is the big day! Emily goes to school and I have a job interview!!! Yahooooooooooooo!!!

Day 50

Today is day 4 of the 7 day attack phase.  I've done really well except last night for some reason I went crazy on a can of honey roasted peanuts!! WTH was I thinking? I dunno, but I was craving them terribly!! So today will be better!!!

Day 49

Well so far so good. This has been day 3 of 7 days of the attack phase. I'm sure missing my veggies but I can do this. I've done good with eating I just haven't had time to get on here quite as much. I really really want a tattoo so I've been doing alot of research and looking into what I'd really like to have done and I've found a few things I want. Now I just have to have the money to do them!! LOL!  I'll try to post some pictures here of ones that I'd like to get, or something similar to them.

The little elephant (last one) would be for my mother in law Jan who passed away. I miss her so much and she collected elephants and also loved 4 leaf clovers so it would be perfect. The little frog I want on my hand and done in purple because he makes me smile. The phoenix I just thought was amazing and I really want that one too. The top 2 are totally me and I can't wait to get them!! I have no idea what these things will cost, but maybe if I get this job then we'll have a little more money to play with and I'll be able to gradually get the ones I want. We shall see! I also want to get one with the kids names on it and thought about something like this but in color and have the kids names put into the ice cream scoops. Of course there would only be 4 scoops since I only have 4 kiddos!

Starting over.... Day 48

Well kind of. I need to get back on track again so yesterday I started another attack phase. Once again for 7 days I will eat nothing but lean protein. So one day down and 6 more to go. Last night was hard. I made cream of baked potato soup and cheddar biscuits and I love them both. I did taste a bite of the biscuit, but that's because I was giving a serving to my neighbor and I had to make sure they were ok.  Yesterday I ate mostly grilled chicken breast and sf ice cream for dessert. Today I think I will make some meatloaves. I don't have any oat bran because I didn't go to the commissary to get any. Well I have a lot to get done today so I guess I should get busy. I can't believe Emily goes back to school on Tuesday!! This summer flew by!!!
