--I'm getting into a major groove with working out. Me and my friend Allison are taking a walk weekly and I've been working out at home 3 days a week. I'm finding for the first time in my life that I'm actually enjoying it. I've never experienced the whole endorphin rush after working out before recently. (In fact I used to think it was a myth!) I worked out last night the hardest I have since highschool, and afterwards I was pumped and felt amazing. I could see how people can get addicted to it. I downloaded Fitness for Dummies and I'm going to do some research and try to set up a workout plan for me.... I'm approaching this with a completely different view point then in the past. My focus is no longer on dieting, which is I think why I have never stuck to any weight loss plan. My main focus on is getting fit and building muscle, and I'm just approaching my eating habits with just portion control and no more fast food, which is my main problem with food. My goal is to be 40 lbs lighter within the next 12 months.
--Work has improved drastically in the last month or so for a few reasons... number one I think is accepting the fact that I have to work and there is no way around that... for probably the last year I have resented coming into work because I would rather be home with my children... but I've come to the realization in the last month that that's just not in the cards for me at this moment... I like having money and being able to afford such a nice lifestyle, I would no longer have that if I quit my job. And while there may come a day where I can go part time somewhere, it's not going to be any time soon. So with that realization came a new appreciation for my job and what I do... There are always going to be things I don't like about my job, nothing will ever change that, but I've started putting more of a focus on what I can control and less of what I can't and my attitude has improved drastically, (and with it so has my performance.) With this new attitude has come the desire to actually work towards something instead of just sitting on the phones all day. My goal is to be promoted in the next 12 months.
--My kids are amazing as always, my sweet little Ella Bella isa chunker and has the fattest thighs, SO cute... she's smiling and laughing and generally enjoying being a little girl... though she can be frustrating at times since she's my little diva and refuses to sleep during the day for some reason. My sam is such a sweetheart and I absolutely love my little guy. He talks so well now, can count to 15 and sing his ABC's. He also knows about every song to every show he ever watches. He's very, very smart!

--Things with AJ are the best they have ever been. I finally feel like we're getting back to ourselves after having kids. We've been going on dates lately and enjoying being with each other. I didn't realize how much I missed that connection until we got it back, and I don't ever plan on letting it slip again... we're trying to make time for a date once or twice a month from now on so we can have time for each other. He's amazing with all he does for me and the kids, and I appreciate him immensely.
