Some more days...

I havent really been keeping track of my food...as in writing it down or anything the past couple of days. I have still been keeping it in check though. I weighed myself this morning before the gym and the scale said 140. Im happy. I wish it was about 5 lbs lower than that figuring how I have been kicking my booty at the gym...but I know doing it the right way takes more time than starving myself. :) Anyhow, Im still down a little weight and I can see changes in my body and with my clothes, and thats all I need to keep going. :) I have worked out the past 3 days even though I keep forgetting to get on here and write it down. I am doing at least 40 minutes of cardio and some weights here and there when I feel like it. Yesterday my mom joined the gym too, so now I have 2 friends, Mal, and my mom for workout buddies. Even if no one else goes tho, Im still keeping the gym in my daily schedule. I have worked out every single day since I joined, and I know I can keep it going, especially with Josh being so supportive and watching the kids every day when he gets home from work (since I cant take them since they have been sick...) and on weekends too. Two days ago, I did an ab machine for the first time since I started going back, and my abs are still killing me. The kicker-I only did 15 reps on the machine one time. LOL!!! I swear those muscles are starting back up from scratch. I really only plan on doing the ab machine like once or twice a week until I get where I want to weight wise, because I really think that at this point cardio is more worth my time to get rid of the chub on top of my abs. Haha...anyways...so the working out is going good. Im gonna keep it that way. I am really feeling like I can look better than I had planned by May as long as I keep this outlook.

On to other things. My children are both doing so much better. They both still have the nagging cough but they both are doing good. Rowan is like 99% better. If she didnt have the cough I would say she was better. But I guess it might hang around for a couple weeks. I swear the antibiotics help viruses even tho docs swear they dont. LOL...

And also...Josh is getting laid off again. I really am starting to get worried. At this point, I am seriously starting to think we might lose a vehicle. I hate saying that out loud...Im not one to talk about our money problems because we always get through it, and it never seems like there isnt a light at the end of the tunnel, but its bad. I am doing my taxes tonight because we need the money to stay afloat. This week, we should be paying our house (850), both cars (505), electric (we owe 500 on it! its about to get shut off...last month we paid just what we had to pay to keep it on, and this month we have to pay at least 214 to keep it on, we have never gotten anything shut off before, but its just feeling impossible right now!), tv (100), and cable (50). And those are JUST the bills that are behind, not even whats due right now. It sucks. I am really hoping that our return is seriously wicked so that we can pay what we are already owe on everything, and keep us up to date while Josh is laid off again. Its supposed to only be a few weeks, which isnt too bad, but he was just laid off already for almost 5 weeks that we are trying to recover from. Its killing us. Our house is definitely going to be late. Again. :( I hate it! Pray that our return is a decent chunk please!! (I know it makes absolutely no difference if you guys pray...LOL!!) Anyhow...so all that money crap sucks a bunch! BUT we really do always pull through...it is just hard to see at the moment...Im sure once he is back to work, it will all start feeling better again. So I cant wait until March!!!
