i had 3 new years resolutions. have corbin's 1st birthday party in our own home...CHECK! always be reading a book; i have read 17 books since january...CHECK! and of course... lose weight. i have been dieting and i have lost 15.6 pounds so far...CHECK! things are good right now. bills are all paid, yard work is done, house clean, healthy family. i couldn't ask for more...well maybe a little more...
i am thinking is enrolling in classes at slcc. just to keep my mind busy. i want to be a nurse. i know it will take like 8 years of school( probably longer with me only going part time and doing online classes), but it will be worth it when corbin is 9 and me and dusty get him into every sport possible, give him the world, spoil him. we will have another one by then too. maybe 2 more. who knows. all i know is that i want to do something meaningful with this life. i want to put the work in and have a real job. a real career. i want to help people. i want to help deliver babies. i want to be a maternity nurse. want want want. i know it will never happen unless i get my butt down to slcc and talk to a career counselor like i have been saying i will for weeks.
having a mortgage is not as stressful as i thought it would be. we have good heads on our shoulders. we are in no debt, (except our house), we buy what we need. we pay off our bills, we take care of things the house and yard need. we aren't a couple of idiots. we know what we want to do. we want to remodel, we want another baby in a year or two, we want to go on vacations. we know we will be able to eventually. for having flight benefits, you would think we would be going on vacations all the time. we don't because its not responsible for us right now. we want to go to chicago so bad and watch a stanley cup game with the locals. but we want to pay our bills ahead more. we want to get really ahead so we can get our yard looking tip top and i want to remodel the master bathroom. i can't wait to really make this house our own and start the painting and remodeling and all that fun stuff. it has been an adventure. nothing beats coming home to a place that you own and that you have to worry about. i love it. i love being able to give corbin his own room and bathroom and huge back yard. i love having my own kitchen that i can learn how to cook in. i love having a place to call our own. worth the stress, the lack of shopping trips, (i am a shopaholic and i have been very good lately!), lack of vacations, lack of going out. it is all worth it to me and i know it is worth it to dusty too. we do try and go out at least once every month. it is good for us to get out, get a sitter, and have a good time. i think at the end of june, (when i am off my diet of course!) we are going to go to rodizio and then to a movie. yay!
diet- well it has been worth it. my pants fall off of me. (they are my fat pants, but still!) people tell me they see a difference in my face. dusty notices. most importantly, i notice. it is amazing what losing 10 pounds has done for my confidence. now i am at 15.6 pounds lost in 10 days. wow. i don't mean to toot my own horn, but really? 15 almost 16 pounds in 10 days?! i feel so much better about myself. i still have 26 more days to go too. i hope i can lose 15 pounds every 10 days for the rest of my diet. i can't imagine. i have a goal shirt. it is a blackhawks shirt my aunt bought me. i want to be able to wear it on wednesday. that gives me 5 days. 5 days to take off another 10 lbs. i know i can do it. it really doesn't have anything to do with what i do or what i don't do. its all about my body. so far my body has been working great with me. i hope this continues. i want to be thin again. i want to be proud of how i look again. it is hard not eating junk all the time. i have really come to the realization that i was eating so unhealthy. i never ate fruit or vegies. now i live off of them. i am converting me and corbo to rice milk. it is delicious and it has just as many vitamins and minerals in it that dairy milk has. it is healthier for both of us and it is easier to digest. dairy milk kinda grosses me out anyways. i want corbin to be a healthy kid. i want him to eat healthy and live healthy.
thats all for now i guess. the ramblings of a mother while her husband is at work and baby is sleeping...
