It's been a While

Okay so I completely lost track of this blog with everything that has been going on with me.  I really was pressed for time the last couple of months with my car being broken down, having to ride to work with mother, going to see the baby in the hospital, etc.  I wasn't getting home until 7 or 8pm some days from being gone allllll daaaay long! I was exhausted at night!   I did manage to keep my diet up & all the exercising I wanted to do at home got replaced with walking here & there at the hospital. It was a mini hike going to see the baby everyday!

Well the good news for my weight loss is, I am now down 37lbs! I met my Memorial Day goal of 7lbs & I feel so accomplished! The next goal is for the 4th of July, & I have set a weight loss goal of 7 to 8lbs for myself. I think that's a good start. If I keep up this pattern I should be down 80-85lbs by the end of the year.  I now know how it feels to gain & to be in a slump on this journey, so the hard part is over.  I know that I will gain during my time of the month, I know my weaknesses, & I know switching things up really gives me a metabolism boost.  

I am really proud of the progress I have made so far, really.  I hope to be out of the 400s by the end of July, then I can say I have lost 50LBS!  Mama said she would buy me another nice purse if I lost 50lbs.. :) I think that would be so nice of her!

On the home front, My baby niece Temari is out of the NICU, & she's now at home with my brother & her mother. She is doing so well.   She's growing. I'm so proud of her & I love her so much. She's come such a long way.. & her journey is still going ..She has a long way to go! But we're praying for her & loving on her as much as we can..

Now for the BAD news.. I lost my Job a couple weeks ago :( I was completely blindsided.. they screwed me so bad, after all the time & good effort I put in there.. Ive been in such a slump because of it, but I am feeling better, &  I actually have a few prospects lined up that are looking good, so with prayer & hope, I know I will end up being okay. Im just thankful to God that I have my parents & family to look out for me & keep me a place to stay while I'm so messed up right now.  

Well that's it for now, I'm just living, & since I have more free time on my hands, I will be trying to keep this blog updated more often.. :)
