Back to Work Blahs.

My vacation is officially over.

Boo.

Coming back to work has been especially hard today. Marc & I are working very hard to pay off our debt so that when we do have a baby that I can stay home or at least only work part-time. With that in mind, it's even harder to be at work. I'm ready for the next chapter in my life but I still have things to do before I can reach that.

#1 - Continue to lose weight
#2 - Pay off all debts except car and student loans.

Both of those seem like GIGANTIC obstacles but we are getting there. Sometimes I feel like more pressure is on me to get Marc & I ready for a family. I have to lose the weight and I'm in charge of paying all the bills. Marc gives input on the bills and he helps by keeping me motivated and not buying frivilous things but again, I'm the one who is in charge and I have to lose about 40ish more pounds before we start trying.

I'm just ready for the next steps, I want to be there already. I feel like I'm in a waiting zone just killing time, and for a super impatient person like me this is torture!!

February Mini-Goals/January Results.

I was very nervous for my weigh in today. Yesterday I was over my January Mini-Goal of 10lbs lost so I didn't have a lot of hope of meeting it this morning....

I'm happy to report that I did!!!

In fact, I lost 10.5lbs for the month of January. I will take it! Yayayayayayaya!!! I contribute a really good day of eating and some exercise this morning. I'm so happy that I made it.

Now it's time to make the February Mini-Goals. Yes, I said goals.

Goal #1 - Lose 8lbs in February.

Goal #2 - Exercise 10 times in February.

I'm happy with these goals, I think they are very attainable. In fact, I've already exercised this morning so I'm down to 9 more times in February. With how much I loathe exercising I think 10 times is a good goal to strive for.

I'm so happy that I had progress on the scale this month. It makes me very happy and I look forward to having a successful February!
