Happy New Year!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope this year is better for all of us than last year was. As Tom's favorite quote goes, "May the best of your past, be the worst of your future."

I, myself (well, Tom and I do) have big plans for this year. We're planning on Tom re-entering the Army around the March/April timeframe. Life is just too difficult and stressful living here. Plus, I know it really bothers Tom not to be in the Army, especially since he had decided to make a career out of it. He's hoping to change jobs when he re-enters. I have already started my weight loss efforts. I have reached 260 - 265 pounds. I have only been this heavy twice before and both times were during pregnancies. I am not embarrassed or ashamed, I am more angry at myself for letting it go this far. I try not to beat myself up over it too much, since it won't do me much good. Eating healthy is a bit of a struggle, since my s-mom likes to eat things that are swimming in a lake of grease (blech). She is not a big fan of healthy foods and has been my partner-in-crime in the late night heavy snacking. I have started using her treadmill that she got for Christmas. *shrugs* At least it's not going to total waste. :o) Tom and I have agreed that I must get down to at least 180 pounds before we try for another baby. I'm a little upset that Nick and future baby will be so far apart in age, but if I wouldn't have let myself get this bad, I would have gotten what I wanted.

Christmas and New Years were quiet and peaceful. No drama. Tom was supposed to have yesterday off, but offered to go in and help, seeing as how New Years Eve is their 2nd busiest day of the year.

I'm trying to adjust back to not working. Even though the people were starting to get on my nerves, I miss my job! I knew it was seasonal, but it still was a bummer when they let us go. *sighs* Oh well!

No Thoughts

Well, I managed to make one of these things and now I don't seem to have anything on my mind that I want to say. Go figure. But then, usually when I have something to say, I'm either too impatient to type it all out or I'm no where near my computer. :oP Methinks that is something I'm going to have to work on, or else no one is going to want to read anything on this page!

I think I mostly wanted to chronicle my attempts at weightloss, but....I don't know what. LOL

I will also am looking to start learning how to make digital scrap kits. When I become proficient enough to make any kind of a kit, I will be starting up a 'sister' site to put them on and all items pertaining.

I guess this is it for now. More soon I hope!
