I'm well aware that many of you come here to read my thoughts each week and I do apologize for not having the time to get here as much as I would like to. I appreciate all of the email and concern for how I am doing!
There are many places for me to share my thoughts and opinions on this website but this page is just about me...and I need it! So, I do try to get here as often as I can.
It's been a rocky start to the new school year. In short, our city built a new school...but at the last minute the air quality was deemed unsafe so the kids that were suppose to attend that school had to be placed in others. So, our daughter is now having classes in a gymnasium for at least 3 months....ugh. Our son started kindergarten this year. Suppose to be such a precious time, right? Well...we were finally told, just the week before school started, that he would be going morning session. Well the bus wasn't here to pick him up for about a week...and he has been sent home on buses he shouldn't have been placed on. I was on the phone everyday....with all kinds of people not getting many answers. Well....somebody finally figured out that he should actually be in the afternoon session. So, he is now in a new class....on the right bus....and my HOPE now is that this is all sorted. Needless to say, i've not been a very happy camper about all of this. And it is far from over but at least the kids are more settled.
We are also in search of our first home which i'm sure will be wonderful once we find it and are moved in but it's quite trying for now. On top of all of this, our days have also been filled with fairs, a company outing, birthday parties...and everything else that comes in the fall when everyone assumes you're home anyway because of school starting! :)
Well, this is what it's all about, is it not? Life is just not always simple or fair sometimes. It's not so easy to journal or stay on track when out of the routine...but at least I try! I'm pleased that I seem to have found the best ways to keep focused most of the time and have learned to get over it when i'm not so perfect. I've had to miss several meetings and not had alot of time to add to the website, which helps me alot. Although I now make better choices for myself without having to think too much...I still need, and want, all of the support I get from everyone...and always do better when it's there. I've done well with my eating but could have ...and should have...done better! I've not had alot of time to work out either and my body is telling me to get to it...so I will!
No matter how much i've lost so far...or what has been going on recently....it always starts with TODAY! I suppose that's how i've always kept my motivation and what keeps me from 'giving up' on myself.
Ok...I feel better..hehehe.
As for my leg...the doctor says it's fine. I must have really whacked it and broken alot of blood vessels which made the blood settle into different spots and form clots that are now attached to my muscle which is why it hurts. The only thing I can do is massage it with vitamin E oil and wait...maybe 6 months for it to heal.
The plan was to join the gym when Brendan (our son) started school and I got a little time to myself. We even went to tour all of the fitness centers in our area a couple weeks ago. But, until things are more settled here i'm going to continue working out at home. My dad had his own 'gym' in the basement of their house...nautilus and benches..tons of weights..etc. For now, I think i'll make space in our living room and bring some of his things here...turning it into our own gym. Not only will I be able to get my workouts in when I want to...I'll be using my father's equiptment which will mean alot to me.
Priorities!...and who needs a living room anyway...lol.
Well, here's to hoping life settles down a bit now and that each day is more of a success than the previous!
Also, a very special thank you to the ladies in the forum here who's posts help me so much! I'm so proud of all of you!
Until next time remember....
The road to success is always under construction.

I was thinking this would be a good place for me to start sharing some of my favorite pictures with you....
