I will be MIA.

My computer at home has decided it doesn't want to have usb or disc drive anymore. So it is being sent away to the computer doctor.

Mary

Mary will be the next Quick to graduate from Blair High. It is approaching fast and there is things to be done! I am just about done with the scrapbook and her video is about half hour away from being done. What task this has been.

She is very excited but I am not sure what she is exactly doing after school is done. Well college but I am not sure where or what her major is. Anyways her party is May 10 from 4-8 at the Fire hall in town.

Goal Update!

Well its been a while since I have done an update on my goals.

Goal #1- I joined Weight Watchers and have been losing and maintaining weight. I haven't really gained if I have I lose it within a day.

Goal #2- Finances they are getting better. I am getting things slowly paid off. I have moved to a cheaper apartment to try and save money. I no longer drive my gas guzzler. I drive my dad's Oldsmobile to save on gas.

Goal #3- I will not be making this goal by Fall so it will most likely be the beginning of the year. Which is OK because I am not sure of what classes I want to take. I need to take the time and figure out where I want to go.

Goal #4- I have become more organized with moving.

Goal #5- I am getting in better shape. I just can't sit down when I get home from work otherwise I don't want to go do anything.

Goal #6- Well that one speaks for itself. Blogging hasn't been on my top priorities.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Dad! Hope you have a great day!

No Motherhood.....

for me for a while. The past two weeks have been crazy! My sister Mary has been a huge help with my moving process. She came down on March 13 and 20th to help me with boxes. Both days I kid you not her damn van broke down. Not at the new apartment of course at the old place. It was quite the experience. Luckily it is fixed now and running like a champ!

Mom and Dad went to Mexico and returned last night! It has been non-stop on the go since they left. Bailey came down with a cold on the 20th when she was helping me move. It continued all the way to Tuesday night. She is now better but still has a cough. We decided to surprise my parents while they were gone and paint there living room and dining room. Boy did I do a project. It isn't a professional job but it looks good. I see the flaws but that is me and I did the job.

I am all moved in and have sent an email to family and friends of the new address. If you didn't get the email let me know. I have no more boxes to unpack. I already have pictures hung up. Now I just need to enjoy my new place. Hopefully this week.

Mary's graduation is getting close and I haven't started her scrapbook so that will be a major project for the next few weeks. I will get it done. I am just about through my photo albums now i just need to get through mom and dads. Had the perfect opportunity last week but was to busy with other projects.

I haven't been to weight watchers for a week but will get back this week. I can tell that I am doing good because all of my work pants are to big. YES FINALLY! Now I just need to keep working hard at this and get where I want to be at.

Changes

Well I have sat down and started going over my goals that I have set. They are very realistic goals but living where I do it just isn't going to be the best thing for me. I spend over $700 a month in rent. which I know isn't a lot of money but for how much I make it is a lot of money to me. So I have made a change in my living arrangements. I will be moving in 2 weeks. I am going more out west Omaha then what I currently am. I am starting to majorly stress out about the whole move. My parents won't be around to help me they will be vacationing at my cousin's (Buddy) timeshare in Mexico. I will be watching the girls and I know they will be great help. I have two guys from my work that is going to move the big stuff. I just need to get packing. Which shouldn't take to long but I just know I have basically next weekend to get it done. Considering I am working this whole weekend. It will all work out in the end it always does.



I have cancelled my gym membership because of where I am moving has a brand new gym which is very nice. I am still trying to keep active as much as I can. I popped my knee two weeks ago today at the gym so I have been being very careful with it. It seems to be getting a lot better.



WW is going awesome. This week I gained .2 of a pound which I think is very unfair to put on there because it isn't even .5 pound. That could have been my socks, bra or panties. Oh well I am sticking to it. I have learned quite a bit with it. I am going to try some new recipes. We will see how it goes. I tried one last weekend and it ended up in the trash because I didn't have the right thing to go with it.

Hope everyone is doing well and I will send an email out to people with my new address as soon as it is set in stone.

Exercising

I have been so good this week with working out. I usually dread going to the gym. For some reason I was pumped and excited to go I even went in the morning at 5 am and in the evening. If you know me well enough you know something is wrong because I like to sleep till the last possible minute. I am not sure what is wrong with me but I think I can handle being this way. I have so much energy and have been enjoying the "gym life". I get to catch up on the news in the morning and in the evening I watch the sports channel. Then I listen to my mp3 player. I need to come up with some new music to put on there because I have listened to it so much this week. I am totally enjoying this new lifestyle. I am hoping that it will pay off in the end. My workout consists of the elliptical for 30-40 minutes, the stationary bike for 25 minutes. By the end of my workout I have done 8-10 miles. Before I would be so tired that I would just want to lay on the couch. Not now I go home and just keep going whether its picking things up, cleaning, going through things. I usually don't stop till 9 and then I go through all the shows I dvr and in bed by 10.

weigh in

Well I had my first weigh in at Weight Watchers this week. I have lost 3 pounds since last wednesday. That made me excited. I thought it would be more but after talking to a few people they told me I have to make sure I eat all my points and the other points. Well I hadn't been doing that I would be short just about everyday. Last night was the first night I hit all them and I feel great today I have a ton of energy and I just want to go go go. So I have changed my goals that I had set at the beginning of the year. My goal is by the time my sister graduates (May 11, 2008) to be at my 10% or less. I really like this program and it is helping me learn so many things. If you are struggling like I was go and make this lifestyle change it is definetly worth it.

Will be back

I haven't been blogging because I am still dealing with my grandpa's death and trying to get back into everyday life. This week has been quite hectic with trying to get things done that I didn't do last week. Tomorrow is going to be cleaning day. I usually do it through the week but that didn't happen to much the last couple of weeks. Just the main things no deep cleaning like i usually do. I have started a new diet this week or they call it a new lifestyle. I have joined weight watchers. I have had family members join it and have great success. So I have decided what the heck give it a shot. Well I hope everyone had a great week and successful on there diets!

Thank you

Thank you to everyone! This week has been a long and stressful week. Thanks to everyone that traveled in for the funeral it meant a lot to all of us. It was good seeing everyone just wish it wasn't under those circumstances. Grandpa is in a better place now with Grandma Mary Lou. He isn't suffering. Once again thanks to everyone! I do have a post in the making of things about my grandpa and some different stories that were told.

Hope everyone made it home safe!
