Job and A Kind of New Me

Just wanted to write a quick update on life. Ben is finally back to work. It is not an ideal job, and way different from anything he has done in the past. But I think he is enjoying it thus far and we are just glad he is back to work. He is glad to be back into a routine of going to work and not sitting at home all day with nothing to do. We are pretty sure he will make his way into management pretty quick so that is the day we are waiting for. He isn’t making much money but at least he is making something!

I have decided that it is time for me to get into better shape. I have started walking about 1.5 to 2 miles every day at work and I kind of doing Weight Watcher’s. My co-worker brought in her stuff and I am doing the point system.I don’t really have the money to join but I am not sure that I really need to go to the meeting sanyways. You can find a lot of stuff out online and with the stuff I got from my co-worker I am doing good. I weighed my self this past Saturday and I was at 178.5 (God that’s bad!!!) and when I weighed myself yesterday morning I was already down to 174. So weight lost so far – 4.5 lbs. Some of that may have been bloating but I’m still VERY excited that this is working for me. And the best part is I really can eat what I want, I just have to stay within my points. And since pop is so many points, I have started to drink water with Crystal Light mixes in them, which is also very good for me. In case I have never mentioned this, I don’t drink water. Yes, this is true. I don’t’ know, it just makes me gag. So at least I am getting my water now : ) So wish me luck!

That’s about all the updating I have for now. I’m just working now and trying to keep busy. I think we have a cookout this weekend at our friend’s, Mel and Brian. Not sure what our July 4th plans are yet.
