Day 10

Not sure why I am counting the days. Just feels like a neat thing to do! Anyway, I am feeling pretty good today!  Within the week last week I have lost 6 pounds. Which means I am at 214 (as of Monday). What can I say other than WOW. I was totally amazed that I dropped that much by just cutting back the portions I was eating and putting more of the good stuff on the plate!  I am still amazed! Can't believe that it is going that fast.  I have to keep reminding myself how good this does feel to see results quickly. I am thankful for a quick result like this. I am quite the type to get discouraged quickly and be done with it! After all this is a big change that has lots of work to it. Just nice to see it pay off so quick! I am so psyched to continue now. Once I noticed the weight I immediatly thought, ok let keep it going. So I have put more exercise in. I wanna see how much more gets lost with a little exercise. It hasn't been large amounts BUT it is 20 minutes each day more active than I was last week! I have been walking the tread mill while Carrie asleep. Have gotten 20 yesterday and 20 so far today! I broke a sweat both times. But that is a good thing!

At the same time I have applied for a job. It is a job that I have been bugging my family that I would never do, but I did it. I applied at Walmart. I keep telling everyone that I don't want to add to our walmart family. Carrie and I the only 2 that have not worked at walmart!!! But I did it. Was talking to one of the ladies that does the scheduling the other day (I know her from the many visits to pick up mom) and she stated that she could make life easy by making my schedule the same or as close as she could to my moms schedule. That would make life way too easy!  Car pool with mom and have dad babysit for me! This way the only inconvenience is having dad stay home. But once the money starts coming in, I can find a daycare or home for her to stay the day and dad can have his days back!! Now I just got to get a job with them!  Here is to hoping! Would be great to bring in some money and get out of the house more often!  I think it is time for Carrie and I to start having breaks from each other. We are getting bored with the things that we do together. For as much as I bring in new things it still is quite boring!

Anyway... Think all is said and done. Time to go and entertain the little darling!

One last note...... I sure do like this upswing. Am going to hang on to it for as long as possible! or as long as the fates have it coming to me! lol..... just kidding. I know I make my own happiness! and I intend to do it.  Be sure to kick my ass if I start faltering again. I give full permission!
