Bittersweet

Tonight, we are back from attending Michael's 20th high school reunion.  It was really a great experience.  A lot of fun.  A chance to see friends.  A time to unwind.  A chance to be a couple and enjoy being with each other.

Michael is the most amazingly beautiful man.  We had such a great time together.  He makes me feel beautiful, special, sexy and so loved and wanted.  I am blessed and I know it.  Weekends like this one was so badly needed because we could set aside our jobs, our finances, the kids and be the couple in love again.  I enjoyed getting a chance to be wild with him, shaking my assets for him on the dance floor and other nameless memories of this weekend.  (I have already traumatized several friends by casually mentioning how up to no good we had really been.  So I'll spare the details.)  

My job has officially ended for the school year.  I have reapplied for my position for the next school year, but will not receive official confirmation until mid August.  I am both delighted with the opportunity to stay home and honestly, freaked out about the prospect of the financial impact.  I need the time off and a chance to unwind before the rush of the new school year begins.

Despite what we have going on, I heard today of a beautiful young girl that is fighting for her life.  She had an accident on her way home from work that left her with massive injuries and in a coma.  It really put things in perspective about how trivial some things really are.  Life is the greatest gift, love being closely matched.  When you have both, live and love like today is your last day.

Keeping Up with the Keeping Up

This week has been a non-stop week.  I had 2 overtime days, working 11 hour shifts, followed by 3 normal shifts that were crammed with non-stop issues to deal with.  My job is fast paced and often filled with problems to solve, and on occasion, challenges to overcome.  Despite this, the hubs and I worked out 6 days this week between the gym (4x) and walking laps at the mall (2x). For the month of March, we managed to work out 27 days of 31.  My fitness goals for April are to workout 5-6 days per week, lose 5 lbs and to focus more on strength.  In addition to that, I want to hit platinum status on my Go365 health plan.  During March, I kept bouncing between up and down 5 lbs, but finally managed to be 4 lbs down by the end of the month. My financial goals for April are to cover my 1st qtr taxes, which I am set to do this coming week.  I also want to pay off the remaining $130 balance of our JCP card.  This weekend, I put $30 toward that....

Manic Mondays

I am so very happy.  My schedule has changed, freeing up my morning time.  I now have time to work out in the mornings.  This morning, my husband and I were able to go to the gym together. I love Mondays.  My husband has Mondays off, which is typically my busiest work day.  He covers laundry, dishes, makes dinner and runs errands for me. Tonight he is roasting chicken and veggies  I feel so blessed and thankful. My goals this week are to get back into a regular work out schedule.  I have skipped work outs a lot with my old schedule and overtime .  Now that I have the time, I want to re-establish a workout routine. I also want to get back into using My Fitness Pal to track my meals, instead of just winging it.  I am going to get to bed earlier Monday-Friday .  In addition, I want to ensure that I am regsularly taking my supplements. I am also looking forward to catching up on my reading.  I have 5 books checked o...

Spring Forward

March is already half way over!  This month has been bouncing back and forth between Winter and Spring.  Today, it is finally warm enough for me to open some windows and let some air circulate through the house.  One of the benefits of living enough in the country.  I have seen robins starting to make an appearance in the yard.  This makes me hopeful that Spring weather should be coming in soon.   I have been working out this week very consistently.  My back is finally on the mend.  I am happy that I have been able to work out for the most part without pain.  I enjoy going to the gym with the hubs, and I admit, seeing him get all hot and sweaty.  This week my focus has been on consistency.  Getting into a solid routine, focus on cardio, using the hydro bed for sore muscles, incorporating massage.  My focus this week is to track my meals on My Fitness Pal  and incorporate more strength building into my day....
