Starting Over with support

It's been over a month since I last wrote in here. It's hard finding time to come on here and type the things that are really on my mind with a two year old and a two month old, that and doing all the wife and mom duties. It is a full time job I tell ya. I debated not going back to work but realisticly that can't happen. If my job does not let me continue to work from home I may need to look for a job closer to home. It's not going to be worth me communing and all the money spent on gas. It sucks because I LOVE my job but I have a feeling that the answer will be no. All the corporate people get a fast OK when they decide to move elsewhere but a little peon like me will get a fast NOPE! Anyway we will see. I have to keep praying about getting the guts to actually sit down with my boss and talk to her about it.

Now, my title of this post is starting over with support. What that means is that while on Thanksgiving "break" we went to my moms house and spend quality time with my family. I am sure they were glad to see us but also great to see us gone from their house. I am sure it was hard to have an additional 5 people at their house for 1 whole week. I wish we lived out there. I have to keep praying about that too. Right now I am not sure that is what God wants us to do. Ok so back to the title, my sister Nancy wants/needs to loose weight for health reasons and for job reasons. She's trying to become a correctional officer. They have to go trough this rigorous excercise thing and she needs to be in better shape to pass this test. She's tesing in 6 weeks and needs to get her but in gear pronto. Anyway I just got off the phone with her and I always forget to ask/tell her a bunch of stuff. I have been calling her everyday since we left so I feel like she's a little tired of me ;-) Well she wants to loose weight with me and I am going to try and help her achieve that goal since I pretty much know the ins and outs of loosing weight. I have been working out at home this week, cleaning super extra vaccuming, doing laundry and just running around. My starting weight on Monday was 236...yikes....I was shocked...well sorta. I was eating like 2 candybars a day and chips and all sorts of junk. 3 days later I am at 234.8 and that's after eating breakfast and a cup of coffee. So I think I have lost 2 pounds already. I know I will loose the first 15 pounds or so pretty easily because of all that salty food I was eating. I bought a workout DVD and a jornal to document my foods but have not used them yet. I also ordered two books on Ama*zon on Tuesday and expect to get them tomorrow or so. They are two cookbooks and one of them is for my sister to help her prepare meals. She said she's not much of a cook but weight loss comes with a price and I am hopeful that she will realize that she can't BUY everything made. It is possible to loose weight now a days because there are SO many programs out there like South Beach, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Lean Cuisine but if you are going to maintain the weight she'll need to learn how to cook to keep herself slimmer.

Ok enough of that the kids are both asleep and that's the only reason I was able to even come on here. I need to update the tickers on my site so I must go! Until tomorrow....I am starting to keep track of my foods as well. See my sidebar.
