I had another blog for this. But decided to put it here instead, so maybe I would be more accountable. Since more people see this blog I want people to see and go oooh she is doing really well or oooh no she is not on track. I hope people will actually tell me to! It wont hurt my feelings either I promise! I was doing so well on my weight loss! I lost a total of 33 lbs in less than a year. I was very proud of myself and then the dreaded thing called life happened and I stopped working out and stopped watching what I ate. Well my eating wasn't to bad but it was not the greatest. So I watched the scale inch back up well then my scale needs a new battery so I really do not know how much it inched back up but I think it has been around 10 to 15 lbs. I went down to 183 and now I think I am around 195. I hope to anymore than that. Hee hee
It has been very busy around here and I was making myself to thin with everything! My family and my well being was put on the back burner. I realized that I was a miserable basket case and I needed to start 1. Thinking of myself and 2. Thinking of my girl's and hubby! So I am no longer working at the girl's school. I stepped down as lead teacher and will sub for them as they need me. That right there was very tough. I was teaching anywhere from 9 to 14 2 year olds with Emmy in there too. So when I went home it was like I had a class of 2 year olds 24, 7. So now I have my me time back when Emmy is at parents day out and Katie is in preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I really want to focus on the 5 things that I really enjoy in life.
1. God
2. My Husband
3. My Girl's
4. ME
5. Photography
The 5th one I am really wanting this as my career. So I have been really trying to work on things in that department!
It has felt like I have had 50lbs taken off of my shoulders since I have had made this decision to get my life back together! So here are few thing that I have done to make sure these things are taken care of.
1. I have made a schedule of my schedule for everyday right down to each minute. It my sound like over kill but it has really helped and has gone brilliantly so far(at least for the last 4 days now 5days)!
2. I set the alarm to get up every morning now not just Tuesdays and Thursdays. So I am now getting up around 6 during the week and Sundays and when I want to or when the girl's get up on Saturdays.
3. I have set aside time to just be with Gary. An hour a day when the girl's are in bed. I know I put my husband on my schedule but I have to for the health or our marriage. It was never bad but it can always be better! I love him so much that I feel bad when I don't spend some kind of time with him alone! A lot of people say well he works at home you should be spending a ton of time with him. Well we didn't! He works in the office/bedroom and so we really didn't spend much time.
4. I go to bed now before 10pm. I was going to bed WAY to late! Midnight was the norm and was grouchy when I woke up!
5. I am now starting today to get up and work out first thing no matter what! At least M-F.
6. Go to church every week no matter what!
7. I have set aside time to be with just the girl's just us. No computers no TV. Also to have patients with them they are not 10 year olds they are 3 1/2 and 2. Have fun with them. Teach them things doesn't matter what it is. It can be as easy as doing the dishes.
8. Reduce my computer time.
9. If I say I will do that later I tell myself no do it now!!
And last number
10. Spend time by myself to reflect on me and to do what ever I wish. Weather it be just get out of the house to enjoy the outdoors, find something to take pictures of, go for a walk. No matter what just doing what I want to do and do it not say I will do it later! See #9
If you have gotten this far in this post GOD bless you this has been a long one!
I hope you can help me by annoying me about if I have worked out today, that is how I will keep my schedule going. As it is the start of my day!
