Still Plugging Away

I really am hit and miss on my postings aren't I? Well, I don't call my life "dieting mom in chaos" for nothing. I've had sick kids, Scott changed from second shift to day shift....holy shit has that but a kink in my routine. He's working 10 hour days, getting up at 3am, so that's been tough. He's really tired!

What does that mean for me? Well, to save on daycare costs I'm going in a little later and taking Sami to daycare with Aunt Addie. She LOVES going there. She begs me every morning to go there and play with Lauren. So, I'm working until close, which is 6pm. I'm used to being home by 4:30 and with the time change, it's dark outside when I come home.

So, alot of changes have been going on in the Watkins household. Lot's of football, Lowell is kicking ass all over the place. So we have really been busy with that. They play Portage Central this Friday and then off to Detroit. I'm still in my dieting crisis....for crying out loud.

Ok, I haven't been hard at it. I haven't gained any of my weight back since I met with Julie. I have lost a couple more pounds and that is good. With Scott's schedule change I am finding it harder and harder to workout. The only time I seem to have is in the morning and I am not good at working out in the morning. I'm so damn tired in the morning. When I get down onto the floor to do my workout, I have a hard time keeping my eyes open. Seriously.

I don't know who said it was better to work out in the morning because all the oxygen getting into my muscles makes me so tired. So, right now, I'm at a standstill. Still over 20 pounds gone since February but I'll be going back to see Julie in just four weeks and my goal is 10 pounds away for when I see her. I'm eating healthier and tyring to stay away from the junk. I've really done well.

My problem is the working out. I haven't been on the treadmill since Scott went to days. I know, it's a lousy excuse. I just don't knowwhat to do and I get home so late and I'm so freaking tired! I have to do something, and I have to get back on track. It'll happen.

Something terrible happened a week ago that really got my attention. You all know that I work for Two Men And A Truck. I love working for Two Men And A Truck, it's been my most favorite job that I have ever had in my life. One of our sister franchises in another state lost their Operations Manager to a sudden heart attack at the age of 43. He had a fiance a young child and soon to be stepkids. 43 years old! That is so freaking young, a year younger than Scott and three years older than me. I'm trying to say that it got my attention and it was a good reminder that I need to continue with what I started and take care of myself and my family.
