Starting a new year.

I once proclaimed in 2012 that 2013 would be my b*tch, and well for a lack of better description, yes, yes it was my b*tch.  I was very thrilled with that.  2014 - we had a love hate relationship.  A lot of great things happened and a lot of not so great things happened.  I suffered with just being in a blah stance on life - after all of the not so great things happened.

Well I am happy to say that 2015 will be OUR b*tch, and well mine too - because everyone knows in a marriage - what is yours is mine and what is mine is mine - quoted from a very intelligent woman - Joyce Tiefenthaler.  I am sick of being a person sitting on the sidelines, waiting for good things to happen to me.  I know some of those things will never happen for us, and we are dealing with that.  I know there are things that I/we can make happen, and this year, we will.

I once swore I'd never have it in my kitchen again - it was all but a crutch.  It is a crutch, but acknowledging that is that is fine.  I am talking about program food.  Its okay, its my fuel, its our fuel.  It will fuel us to our goal, and once we get there I am going to go about transiting a little different.  The transition for most programs, as I hate to admit since I am a coach for the company, are made to make  you keep coming back. I will skip wheats and grains, which it has you be very co dependent on in transition. I immediately started to gain weight - which is normal, but only 10lbs or so.  Then I of course, was too cocky and went over board and ended where I am now.

I started last week back on the program.  Today I did my first weigh in - I had lost 10lbs.  Which is normal for the first week - its basically a detox.  I hope to be at goal in about 6 months - which is not too drastic - I am definitely  not trying to lose 110+lbs again.

I am also trying to get a second job.  I really like my job that I have now, the pay is just not what I need to be at.  I took a pretty significant pay decrease when we moved to Texas.  Also, I didn't have a paycheck for close to 5 months, so that hit us pretty hard.  I need to get caught back up.  I am sure as most of you are enjoying the low low gas prices, I am not.  I'd rather they'd go back like they were so that my husband's occupation wouldn't be so questionable.  All oil and gas companies are laying off employees by the thousands.  Its very nerve racking, and just completely unsettling.  So I am trying to make the best of it, by getting a second job, to hopefully build back our savings, incase of an emergency.   Thats all I am going to say about that - that is the stress I am dealing with.  Other than the constant dealings with not being trusted completely and the constant snooping - but then being told I am trusted.  That will never stop because that is just who I work for.  In that sense I am learning to deal with that too.

This was supposed to be a small entry that turned into something more!

Just make 2015 your b*tch people!
