Autumn is closing in on me in a quick hurry, which is a good thing... I live for the winters, Oh not for the cold and snow but for the freedom.
Since I am layed off of work from November til April of every year I take that time and I basically get to do whatever my little heart desires to do. The kids are in school full time all day during the week and Ryan and I are free to just have couple time.
He however will be cutting the couple time short this winter come January since he will be returning for another semester of school then...
Last winter I took the time to work on ME... the overhaul was Way far overdue... I'd been not wanting but NEEDING Desparately to shed weight. So I signed us up at the Y and from November til April I made a habit of working out I would get the kids off to school in the mornings and eat a small breakfast and coffee while watching the today show with Ryan then we'd head it off to the gym. back by lunch time to get cleaned up and hang out we were satisfied... sometimes I would even go to a class in the evenings if the will was there. We made a habit of getting together and hanging out with our friend Pam on Tuesdays and watching the biggest loser. I watched the lbs. come off pretty steady, not fast, but steady. I sit here 10 months later 70 lbs. lighter. and still working on it. I can't wait to go back to the gym full time again. Hopefully I will be able to hit the 100 lb down mark by New years. - My friend Pam has been a huge inspiration to me over the last year. She herself, has lost almost 200 lbs. in the last 2 yrs. with the help of personal trainers etc... I know I shouldn't feel like she is competition but sometimes I do... and in a weird way sometimes it makes me more motivated. Other times to be honest I feel a pinch of jealousy... But it's all good. I am doing what I can, how I can and I am doing it the right way for my body... and I am happy about that.
