The first blog

Well this is my first blog. Its the beginning of 2011 and Im working on getting my body back. I used to be a healthy 125lbs till I got married about 2 years ago. Somehow eating popcorn and soda late at night with my new husband shot me up to about 165! Ive made several (small) attempts to get back down, and now Im at it again! As of today Ive made it down to 145, half way there! Woohoo! But the best part is feeling healthier! I didnt realize how crappy junk food was making me feel till I stopped eating it! Now Im working on sneaking health food into the rest of my family's diet. Im waiting of the raw chocolate beans I ordered, I cant wait to try them! They are notorious for being super healthy and giving you lots of energy, I cant wait.

Im also working through college, taking 8 years to complete a 4 year degree because Im only taking a couple classes at a time. I had a dream last night that I was going to get a job and woke up all excited and motivated to find a job, then remembered reality that I dont have time for a job. Unless I can afford a maid, just for a few hours a week. I wish I could do it all, raise 4 kids, do well in school, keep a clean house with laundry done, cook from scratch, and work part time to make some money and just get out of the house! But unfortunately I cant, and the only thing that I can delegate out from that list is housework, which is expensive I think.

Im also hoping to take a trip to Washington State soon, I moved down to California just over a year ago and I miss that place something fierce. So does my youngest daughter Chloe. And not to mention my friend Vicki needs me right now as she is in a hard place. Im hoping I can find a way to go and bring Chloe soon. Thats my goal. Well thats about it!
