Finding The Strength to Achieve MY Goals

This has been one crazy week for me. Paul was gone until Thursday. I worked as hard as I could but when he got back I had gained 2 lbs. Unsure of what happened, we took a hard look at my diet. Turns out I haven’t been eating enough again. I still have a hard time thinking eating too little is making me gain weight but it must be true. I have lost 4 lbs. since then so I must be back on track.

Now I’m facing a few obstacles. The first obstacle is being on the job market again.
The position I have been working was only a temporary position. I was hoping it would end up being permanent but it didn’t work out. Good experience but due to the fact it is a nonprofit business there wasn’t enough funding to keep me on. I know they wish they could have kept me. So now I am job hunting again. This also means I have to take a brake from Paul until I find a new job. I hope it won’t be too long, because it scares me not being able to be trained by him. I will have to push my self harder and I hope I can do it!


The second is finding a sitter for my daughter. If I couldn’t find a sitter before I would bring her with me to the gym and she would watch me. But the rules of the gym say I can’t do that anymore. I understand and respect that. I’m sure she will be back when she is 14! This just makes it hard because I don’t feel she is old enough to say home by her self yet.


Like I said these are just obstacles. The old me would have used this as an excuse to quit, but that is not an option for me anymore! I will find a way to work it all out. You will still see me at Anytime 6 days a week! I will do my best with the food plan. I will be back working out with Paul within a month. This weekend I watched Extreme Makeover again. This episode was about a man who went through a breakup, loss of a job and became homeless all during his weight loss journey and still made his goal. So I can do it, and I will keep you all posted along the way!
