It's been a while....

Just wanted to check in and update a little.  Alexas started 6th grade a few weeks ago, and Landon started kindergarten.  My babies are growing up so fast!! So far they are both doing very well.  I started my 9th year of teaching, only 21 more years to go! :) Ryan is still dealing with the Army and their never ending process of hurry up and wait.  He was finally released to work in June, but can't do his job do to his shoulder, so he is being stuck in another job that he used to do.  In 2 weeks he will find out exactly what he can expect as far as his recovery and job, and hopefully whether he will be released from the Army or if he will be able to stay in.  On the weight loss front I started Plexus Slim almost 3 weeks ago, and I am down almost 5lbs.  I maintained over the summer, so now I am at a total loss of almost 25lbs.  I am going to share some photos we had taken this summer.

I hate anxiety!!!

I really really hate anxiety!!!! It literally makes me sick to my stomach. I hate the feeling of helplessness and being ready to crawl out of my skin. I hate that it limits what I can do and where I can go. I hate this feeling!!!

Weight Loss Update

The spring break beach trip and my brother's wedding has come and gone.  I made it within 1lb of my 20 lb goal! YAY!! Then I pigged out all weekend and gained 2 lbs back, ugh!! Back to the grind and Zumba tonight!  Here is my first after picture!

Catching up....

Just a quick post to do a little catch up! I am still working hard on the weight loss and am down 18lbs!! YAY!!  I have 2 more lbs to my first goal of 20 which I had hoped to reach by my brother's wedding on April 5th, so it is looking like I may just make it yet! YAY! Then 199 here I come!!

Life continues to be busy and crazy! Ryan is having another surgery on his shoulder on Wed.  We continue to impatiently wait on the Army to send us the back pay they off us, but don't worry they are quick to take any money they think we owe them.  We are one week from Spring Break and are all ready for it!
