UGH Day
Woke up this morning with a migraine, hate when this happens because it doesn't take much to upset plans you already had for the day / weekend.
It's been a lovely weekend so far though, got roses from my love on Friday and spent Saturday with my Sis, creating and crafting. Today is the Packer's season opener and I am looking so forward to it. This headache has got to go away.

Projected
When asked what's new in my life sometimes it's easier to say nothing than to try and give a real answer.
Life is a moving target and rarely the same from one minute to the next.

Time?
At this point in my day I start watching the clock and wishing for quitting time. Then I am reminded of a conversation I had with a older lady.
When she asked how my day was I responded I wish it was over. She quickly told me not to wish my life away. As I get older I realize how true those words are. And I try not to wish my life away- but dang I wish work was over today! LOL

Catching up
Well installed blog app on my phone. So maybe now I will be able to update more often and actually keep this up to date - not one or two updates a year!
The posts may be small but will try to be current and entertaining! LOL

Hopes make things happen....
I am hopeful that one day this week I will be able to write my resignation letter. I hope to be moving on into a new position...well old position new company. I'm hoping to get back into IT as a Service Desk Manager. It could mean a lot of good things - good for me, good for my family.
I hold no ill feelings for my current company - but I want to be back doing what I love to do, and honestly be paid for doing it...right now I'm doing a lot of IT duties that I'm in no way compensated for.
It's not a done deal getting the new job, but I'm hopeful and hope that putting the resignation letter out into the universe will lead to all good things in the near future.

Something Borrowed - Something New
I read a recent article on line about bloggers using their blogs to help them lose weight. So I'm going to borrow a page from them and try something new for me.
Most people I know understand that I am not happy with my weight, but they may not understand how I've struggled with it my entire life. At graduation I was about 30lbs overweight.
When I went to college I was very active - exercising at school and going out dancing every night. Small meals partially due to not spending the money on food, partially because I just didn't take the time and really didn't need to eat a lot of food. During that time I lost 35lbs - when I went home for my first visit after 3 months I had to buy all new clothes because nothing fit me anymore. I weighed 123lbs. And was really happy with my weight for the first time I can ever remember, I wore a size 8.
After I had my first baby I still was a size 10-12...still active and was still happy with my weight. I was still active and my weight stayed fairly steady- it went up a little but not so much I even really noticed it. But then I had 2 more babies in rapid succession, was no longer active and had to make sure I prepared full meals everyday so that Jeff and the kids were all fed. And if they were fed - so was I.
It's never been what I eat - or how much, as much as the fact I don't get enough exercise. I friend of mine who is also overweight went to lunch with me at a former job. Finally one day she looked at me and told me she was throwing me out of the Fat Ladies Club because I had no business being overweight with as little as I actually ate.
Now in the intrest of being honest with myself - and also anyone reading this - I have a terrible sweet tooth. I have convinced myself on more than one occasion that if I'm going to eat 250 calories - it may as well be a snickers bar instead of lunch...or a few cookies have as many calories as a sandwich and are tastier. Or like last night when instead of dinner - I talked Jeff into ice cream. (It was late and it was really yummy ice cream though).
So my 250lb self is now being totally honest and trying to reduce myself. I know it's not going to be easy - I've had way too much stress in my life lately and it's way to easy to just eat a cookie to deal with it instead of go for a walk. But I'm trying.
