Alive and well!

It has been months since I have gotten on this thing! I do have to say that I miss it very much! Addison is growing so much! She is now seven months old, saying a few words, crawling and pulling up! I did get a job at a daycare, which she also attends. Recently I have started a workout routine. Its the eight week program X-Factor:ST by Weider. Currently I am on my last day of week two. :) I am proud of myself for continuing to do this where as I haven't other times. I know now that I have more of a reason to than anything! I don't want Addison to grow up and be like me, overweight to the point of obesity. I want her to grow up seeing a mom who is fit and healthy. I am also going to start Weight Watchers, today! :)

Just so everyone knows I will try to post at the very least weekly updates on my progress! My starting point was 175lbs (BMI of 34.2). My goal right now is to lose a lb a week for ten weeks. My ultimate goal is to lose almost fifty lbs in order to have a healthy BMI. I am not going to worry about "getting skinny" or getting my old figure back, I just want to be healthy so my daughter will grow up and be healthy also. The exercise part is the easy part! Changing my eating habits is gonna be the hard part, but I can do it! I have a great support system and I know I am gonna need them! :) Care to join me on my journey to healthy living?

* Please note that I am not endorsed or compensated by Weider or Weight Watchers. It is simply the regimes I have chosen for myself. :)

Sorta Nervous

Tommy is going to talk to the recruiter about re-enlisting. I am excited for him and at the same time I am a little nervous. Nothing is certain but today could mark a huge change in our lives. It'll be a good change, just hard. But there wasn't ever anything worth working for that wasn't hard. Gosh, I just can't stand it hardly anymore. I am going to go get him and Addison up and we are going to get started with our day. Wish us luck. 

Happy Wednesday!

About Time

Ok, so I really need to get on here more! I miss blogging! 

This Friday Addison will be 3 months old! OMG time flies by! She is trying so hard to laugh. She'll coo and sometimes squeal but hasn't quite got the laughing part down yet. It's still cute! 

Friday Tommy and I are going out on a date for the first time in forever! I am kinda excited, but I have NO clue what to wear. Its just dinner and a movie- not even a romantic one (Act of Valor) so I wont need anything too dressy but it would be nice to dress up a little for a change. :)

I applied for a few jobs in the school system yesterday. So obviously I am thinking of  going back to work. I want to for a few reasons. The main one being I want to get the heck out of my grandmother's house. I love her to death but I cannot stand to live here much longer. Living with anyone is hard and some people are much harder to live with than others. I have almost considered moving out of state if we could find jobs but at the same time I don't want to move Addison away from family that loves her unless there is no other choice.

Tommy said the other day that he has considered going back into the military but I don't think he means it. He feels so shafted from the way they did him last time I can't really blame him. At the same time I think that could possibly be one of the best decisions we could make. Idk. I don't want to make a decision now that we will regret in the future because we are so anxious to get our own place. 

I have worked out for the past two days (hard) and it feels great. I already feel like I have more energy and more motivation. :) Its days like today though that make it hard. Days where I don't have anyone I trust to watch Addison for me. I'll find a way though. I am not going to stop because I need to do this for me and for her. I need to live a healthier lifestyle so she will when she is older. 

Time to get off here but I will return! :)

Happy Wednesday!
