Sunny Sunday

Today was a great but busy day. We bought some furniture for the living room. We went to 3 places and then went back to Leon's which was the first place that we visited. We decided on a leather sofa and love seat, and we bought the coffee and end tables as part of the package,
We will eventually get a chair and an area rug to add some color to the room.
The guy at Ashley was really helpful when talking about fabric types and color pairings but we couldn't afford the set that we really wanted there. We may go back there for a chair though.

The house will be finished within the next week or so which is exciting and scary all at once. I can't wait to move, but I am still having such a hard time getting motivated and organized. If it wasn't for Joey, I don't know what I'd do!! He is so great, and has done a lot of packing so far.

So far this pregnancy is going well too. I am so excited that I heard the heart beat, and that I am feeling relatively well. I am still waiting for an ultrasound, I am really anxious to know exactly how far along I am, and find out my due date. I am sick some evenings, but it's not bad so I've been blessed so far.
I am still quite tired but this is the latest that I have stayed up for a while.....It's 9pm...lol.
I am just feeling so excited and blessed to be pregnant, and I thank God every day for letting me feel this Joy.

As for my diet, it has not been great, but I am trying hard to eat healthy meals so that the baby will be healthy and that hopefully there will be no serious complications with this pregnancy.

So after that long winded update, I guess that's all for now.

My Update

It's been way too long!! I was having serious problems sticking to ww and going to the gym. I have been falling asleep right after work, and found that I have no energy all day long.
I went to the doctor because I figured that my thyroid meds needed an increase or something, but it turns out that the levels are fine.......I'm pregnant!!! I'm really nervous because of the 2 miscarriages that I've had, and it's really hard to say how far along I am because I didn't get a period since the last miscarriage. I have to go for an early ultrasound, and I'm praying that it's soon so that I can find out if everything is ok.

So that's my update, and for now I'm trying to relax and take it easy!

Another storm??

So there is a freezing rain warning for tomorrow, and I just hope that if it happens, it is enough to cancel work for the day....but I highly doubt it.
I am still really tired but I am planning to go back to the gym and get back on track tomorrow.
We are still working on the house stuff, my new job may mess things up because of the probation period, but the guy who is figuring out the finances says he's 95% sure that we will get it. All of this stress is really affecting my eating, but I can't let it anymore!

I still have the goal that I would like to start running, and I am really looking forward to being able to fit into all of the cute workout clothes in sport check, and Lululemon when it finally comes here.
I can do this!

Another Stormy Saturday

I hope that it's true when they say that march comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb. I'm finding it hard to believe that It's march 1st already. I'm so disappointed in myself that I haven't been to the gym in almost 2 weeks!! I'll definately have to go tomorrow. I am feeling very tired and headachy this past week, and even took a sick day on Friday. I felt bad because I know that there was lots to do at work, but I really needed the day. I stayed in bed until noon, and I still felt tired.
On the homed front, it looks like we will be moving soon!! we are buying a new home in a New subdivision in Eastern Passage! I am so excited, but nervous as well because there is so much stress around buying a home! I just hope that everything works out ok.
The weather is pretty bad, as it is snowy and windy so we are just staying in and watching "the Evil Dead" and snacking on things that I am afraid to mention here, yep definately going to the gym tomorrow!!

I am going to try the core plan again this week, as it wasn't too bad this week and it will be even better when I'm exercising again.

Take care,
Jenn

Stormy Day!!

Wow, the weather is so terrible right now!! It is windy, rainy and cold out right now. Of course I have no motivation to exercise, and I didn't go to the gym :( I wasn't feeling great today, and after supper we went to walmart so there wasn't much time anyway.
I have realized that these new snacks that I have become addicted to are really bad points wise, and I have been eating them all weekend. I am not buying these anymore because they are a huge trigger food for me.
I have decided to try core for at least one week starting on saturday. I am hoping that due to my PCOS and thyroid problems, the core plan will help to increase my energy level and help me feel better.

Joey and I are starting to look at houses, I am so excited but I just hope that we are truly ready financially. This is the first time that I have had a good financially stable Job, so hopefully everything will work out!!!
Well I guess that's all for today, I'm off to bed!!

back to blogging

......and back to basics!
This week I am promising myself to review all of my ww materials and I am getting back on program!! I know I can do this but for some reason I have a mental block, and an all or nothing attitude. This is very dangerous for me, and I know that I can gain all of this weight back easily.

I am having a down day today, that I think may be due to P.M S, I am trying to get happy though, because we are going down town for a romantic hotel stay/dinner, as a late valentines gift. I am excited but again obsessing about the food choices that I will make at dinner. Oh well, I'll be right back on track tomorrow!! I gained 2lbs this week and I was sure that It would be a loss, so I have to work harder this week.

On the job front, I love my new job. The hours are awesome, and the people are great!! hopefully I'll be here for a long time to come!

I have been neglecting the gym more than usual due to tiredness, but I am trying to get back to normal with my energy level, and I may go to the doctor to see if he has any suggestions.
I am also thinking about posting my daily menu's here to keep me honest, we'll see.

So I guess that's all for now, I'll have to keep this updated now even though my life is not very interesting!!

Bad blogger

I'm a bad blogger because I didn't post lately, but in my defence, I have been really busy with a large dose of no motivation. I haven't been to the gym in a few days because I was letting my body heal, but I thing it's time to go back.
I started my new job today, and it was a lot different than I expected. The clients need a lot of care, but I'm sure that I can do this and the change might be right for me. The hours are awesome, as well as the vacation and the pay. I am really hoping that I can make this work and do well with this.
I am feeling some anxiety tonight as well as sadness and I'm a bit lonely. I know that joey only left today for two weeks, but I feel like it wasn't a good time for him to go away, I was fine while he was here, but now I'm feeling some pain and sadness, and a little overwhelmed with the changes that I have been going through in the past week. What I really need is some time off to sleep and heal, and instead, I'll be working 72 hours per week for the next 2 weeks. I honestly hope that I can make it through this, because if I can't, I may end up with no job, and then where would I be??
Oh well, I hope I made the right decision.

On a diet note, I am going to spend some time this weekend, doing up meal plans, and menu ideas and hopefully making some easy, core breakfasts that I can eat on my way to work. That's the plan and we'll see how it goes. As for this week in the evenings, I'm going to try extremely hard to get caught up on my course. There is so much to do, I hope I am strong enough to do it all!!!
