Such a slacker

Ok ok I admit it, I suck at keeping a blog. It's been 6 months since I've written a blog post. I'm sticking with my 2013 is an awful year post from March. Not many good things have happen in 2013 to me honest with you.

One rotten thing after another keeps happening. I've got to do something to turn this around. I'm thinking if I change my attitude and outlook on things maybe just MAYBE things will turn around.

This stressing over everything that has been going on is doing nothing but messing up my body. I'm carrying the stress in my shoulders. I keep pulling muscles in my neck/shoulder area and I'm sure it's due to stress. I keep getting migraines and I'm sure it's due to stress.

Granted I've had some major stress going on in my life, but you know what my kids are healthy (other than allergies/colds), my husband has two jobs (although one is cutting hours like crazy), we are all for the most part happy (ok I'm not happy but I'm working on it).

It's time to turn this year around and get ready for 2014. Yes I know it's a few months away, but I'm MORE than ready to kiss 2013 goodbye.

It's time for me to get back in touch with God, it's time for me to get control of my house which is spinning out of control, it's time for me to take care of me and actually do it this time. Instead of half way doing it. I need to hide the scale from myself and change my life style and instead of weighing myself every day I need to go by how I feel and how my clothes feel. If I'm not happy how can I expect everyone else to be happy. It's time to set a good example. Kick myself in the butt.

Not just on losing weight and changing my eating habits, but on everything in life. It's time...it's past time! So here is to a new me, and a new way of life!

2013 so far

2013 has not been good to us! To wrap it up as fast and as nice as I can....I turned 36 *yuck*! My ex filed paperwork to take me to court for joint custody of my oldest daughter. She wanted to go "try" living with him, so after MANY tears and prayer I decided to let her. She's been gone 2 weeks and I miss her like crazy. I've done pretty good and stayed strong. I've had only one MAJOR melt down. I have to be strong for my other kids so I can't completely shut down. I know she's not being harmed and I know she's ok (we text every day). I just miss her like crazy!

I was doing a 90 day challenge (which actually started in December 2012). I did he challenge and went off the challenge and back on etc. I ended up losing 10 pounds and 8 1/2 inches off my body with only working out 1 day the whole 90 days. I was disappointed with the weight loss, but very happy with the inches lost. My clothes were getting really loose. Then I had an shoulder injury and was put on 3 different meds. One of which makes you gain weight. Thankfully I only gained 5 pounds, it could have been much worse. I restarted the 90 day challenge this week and so far have lost 3 pounds.

I've got a plan for this round of the challenge and it can be found at http://mommyof6gettingfit.blogspot.com

I'm trying to turn 2013 around.
