On Track!

The family and I attended my mom's graduation the other night and it was fun. I'm so proud of her! While we were getting ready, I tried on a pair of shorts that I haven't worn in about 2 years (I think), and they fit! I was so happy because I don't have many summer clothes anyway. That showed me that I'm on track and I felt like I was on top of the world. That feeling continued today when I stepped on the scale.



Before breakfast, I stepped on the scale to see how things are going. Keep in mind I just stepped on the scale yesterday and weighed in at 262.2. Imagine my surprise when the scale read 260 even! I'm still on cloud nine. I was inspired to do more but I had some things that desperately needed my attention first.

I spent a good 2 hours cleaning out my closet (who knew I had that much stuff in there). I managed to fill a bag full of clothes that I don't wear anymore, for one reason or another, to take to Goodwill tomorrow morning. After my closet, I tackled the living room. I didn't get in an actual workout today but I burned almost 500 calories cleaning so I'm not overly concerned about it.

This week is going to be busy at first but I'm hoping it will slow down. I have an interview Tuesday morning at 9 am and I'm really excited about it. I hope I get the job because things really need to change around here.  The only things that concern me about working outside the house again is school and the boys. Before, when I was working outside the house, I didn't feel like an active member of the family because it was late when I was getting home and I'd spend my weekends working on homework. What's to say this time won't be different?

Well, I'm hoping that the changes I've made in myself will be enough to change the situation. If I get this job, my travel time won't be as long as it was before because the job is closer to home. That should put me home at a much better time, which should give me more time with the family. The only way to truly find out is if I get the job.
