What a Week.

Okay so my busy season at work has started so its hard to find time to update this blog. My posts may become a little less frequent. I apologize but there are only so many hours in a day.

This week has been a week of horrible events. My last post was about Boston, but Wednesday night a fertilizer plant exploded in the small city of West Texas. Many injuries and deaths. Nursing homes, apartments, schools damaged. Another unexpected event.

It just really reminds me that life is a vapor. We are only here for a short time, we need to make the most of it. Love one another, take the time to tell and show people how much you care. Don't sweat the small stuff and make amends and forgive.

Make time! I think making time for things is something I personally struggle with. Especially now and for the next few months at work it's so busy, by the time I get home I just want to do nothing. I spend a lot of weekends on my days off at the office and I miss out on time with friends and family. Things get put on the back burner. My goal is to do better.

Okay a little subject change. Jim and I worked out together on Monday night and I have to admit its fun. I actually enjoy weight lifting. I used to really shy away from it. After we did "upper" body we decided to do 15 mins of cardio. I was a little worried because it has been a while since I did any running or jogging. But it was easy for me, although I didn't run fast. It was a slow jog but I jogged the entire time. I was proud of myself.

I did have a set back my husband was trying to be sweet and make me happy and he brought Ben and Jerry's ice cream home. I had a stressful day and ate way too much (yesterday). I had to tell him not to reward me with food or buy those type of things. Especially Ice Cream with I LOVE. I told Jim If we want it on occasion we can go out for ice cream. When I am stressed I tend to binge eat. This time last year is when I really packed on the pounds. I'm so scared that I will undue all of my hard work. Im just trying to do everything I can to set my self up for success. I'm aware of my struggles and short comings so I hoping that will help me through these next few months. I also need to really turn to exercise for stress relief instead of Ben and Jerry. Lol

I will leave you with some pics from this week. Enjoy.

XOXO
