I’ve had a great day.  I spent the afternoon at my friend’s house, simply enjoying her family.  Her family is so much fun.  I had an idea what I missing growing up, but I felt the full impact of it today.  A group of people together because they wanted to be, laughing, telling stories, and pulling strangers [me, the hubby, and kids] into the group.  It was great.  And I ate a ton.  But barely any deserts.  The sweet potatoes were good enough for me!

 I really need to get back out exercising.  Obviously, today was not going to be the day.  I weighed 196 lbs this morning and I was surprised, really.  I haven’t lost all my hard work.  I remember a time when I thought I’d never be under 200 again.  Ever.  So tomorrow is the day.  I’ll log in and tell you guys what I manage to do.  I’ve noticed that when I don’t exercise, I don’t feel like doing anything.  And that’s just what happened after I hurt my rotator cuff.  Plus, the new gym I signed up for isn’t open yet.  How frustrating!

I hope everyone had a wonderful day.     

I tried to think of a witty title about being back, and AC/DC popped in my head.

I’ve been avoiding this, and I really appreciate the ones who left messages while I was gone. I haven’t read my e-mails yet. I have been ok, just seriously out of it. Being in school full-time is a lot of work. I don’t like to think about eating right, exercising, and being accountable on top of that. I know I should care more about myself. I’m back in an attempt to do right by myself.

College is a mini-nightmare. One that I’m committed to for a few more years. My odds of getting into the nursing program are great. I just have to keep A’s. I don’t know about the pressure. My husband will be leaving soon, so it will be me and the kids, college, and life. Life. Oh, life is going to drive me insane. I can barely afford to keep my kids dressed and fed, much less deal with what day care charges. I try to keep reminding myself that all college kids are poor. It doesn’t help much…

Sorry about the poor sentence structure, bad grammar, and all. I’m jittery on coffee, not likely to eat a full meal tonight, and haven’t done anything relatively near exercising in over a month. Holiday season is here, my stress is so obvious it should be painful to look at me, finals start Dec. 4, and there’s a million things I should be doing. What’s new?

Y’all, keep me in line while I try to reclaim some of what I’ve lost. I don’t even know what I weigh anymore. [My clothes still fit- score one for me!] We’ll get through the holidays together.
