| About a week after arriving |
I have been here now at my sisters since November 2nd. That was a crazy flight, but Gavin did so well! Planes were not designed to carry car seats and babies and diaper bags! I was lucky enough to have some amazing people help me out! Since I have arrived here I love it more and more! It's such a great place I wish everyone I know could live here!
My weight has not been dropping but I am OK with that. I am very glad that it hasn't gone up with the move and not being able to cook for myself all the time. With shopping and preparing meals I have to think of the other people in the house. It will be better when I am finally in my own place. I can just tell my family to suck it up and eat it, it's good for them! :)
This blog is a little scattered because there is so much to say and not a lot of time to say it in. I do love my job because even though I don't get breaks really, I do get nap time! Not my nap time but the children's. Ha ha. Lately all of the kids have been napping and it's nice to get a break and feel like an adult! I have been listening to some comedians lately and they have been talking about things you only get to do being a parent. For instance saying sentences like "We don't shoot people at the dinner table" or I heard my brother in law the other morning say "It's not nice to throw things into other peoples cars." It brings laughter to my day!
I have started a new herbal medicine I read about called, L-Tyrosine. I found it on Dr. Oz's website, which I have been looking at a lot lately because of Katie @runsforcookies.com being on the show. In short the medicine is suppose to give you energy. I'll try to write more info about it later, or you can just google it for yourself. :) I really love it though! By the third day it was no longer agonizing to stay awake all day. I have also been able to get to sleep at a decent time which between that and the medicine my mornings are amazing! I actually WANT to go running! Kyle just laughed at me when I told him. I would go now if it weren't for the snow and the fact that it's dark until after daycare kids arrive and by the time daycare kids are gone. I am also going to try another medicine called Sam-E. I read that a lot of people use it in combination with the L-Tyrosine to help with fatigue and depression. Which I have noticed a bit of an increase in my depression with the limited hours of daylight and not being able to leave the house very often. Sometimes I try to get out after daycare kids leave but I think I much more prefer getting to sleep on time. Although I am thinking of going to the grocery store tomorrow night because I have some coupons I have been wanting to use. Now if that's not excitement I don't know what is! :)
Things are looking better and better everyday. We are waiting for an apartment to become open at an apartment complex near by, and in the mean time looking for anything else we can find that will work. Kyle and I checked our credit, and we are no where as bad as we thought. We are getting that all in line and then it's on to buy a house! It's very exciting the opportunities we have all because we are no longer in Yakima!!
As far as my weight loss goes, I have been counting calories again and measuring foods. I don't have a food scale but that's on my wish list. The L-Tyrosine also has some apatite suppression qualities I have been enjoying. Being it's winter time I just want to eat so many "good" (bad) things! But I take a bite or two and realize how full I feel and can't even make myself eat more. I have been really working on drinking water but between the cold outside and the dry heat inside I always feel dehydrated!
It feels good to be able to blog again! I enjoy it so much!
