It was a great weekend once again. Friday I got to spend time helping Mick move into his new place. He will not officially move in till the middle of November. That's great because I love going to the cabin to relax. Then Saturday we went to Sumpter days which is like one big yard sale through a town in the mountains. Imagine going to Idaho City and finding a big flee market going on. They do it 3 times a year. Mick and I didn't stay long he just was not feeling well and can not walk a long distance. Then that afternoon we spent it just hanging out. Sunday I spent at home relaxing and just enjoying the house to my self. The Monday I went to the cabin and Mick and I went for a drive for 4 hours through the mountains. It was so great to know there is so much untouched land still where the trees grow and it's not logged.
As for my diet I made it to a 10lb weight loss and I could not be happier. Do I notice a big change no. I say I think my brains leaked a little. Still no caffeine or pop. I try and walk every day but if Mick is in town I don't get to. Need to learn to do it and leave him home. I am still eating good. Lately I have had the craving to eat at Mc Donald's and will actually drive towards the place to turn around and go home and make something healthy. It is like when I stopped drinking pop I had to learn to drink Milk instead.SO when I get the craving I eat a veggie or fruit.
Another big thing in my life is I'm looking to make a big career change. I am thinking about going to work at a prison as a drug and alcholl counselor. They will put me through all the training and schooling and the pay is about the same but a little less. I went and applied today. I get scared and nervous when I think about it. It's not that I don't like my job I have been there for 4 and half years and the staff are like having 35 kids. I have prayed a lot about this and will continue to. If I do I plan to go back to college and get my masters in this degree. I look at it as I am 39 and have a good 25-30 years still of working. I will keep you all informed.
Jeff is doing great with really buckling down on doing homework. Tonight we had another heart to heart about paying bills and responsibility. He hates the talk but he needs to learn how to do it.
To all my family yes I do read your blogs daily or when updated. Judy I just don't see yours I am blocked. I love reading about everyone lives. Janet you inspire me with all your different things you learn from church. Thank You!
Well, you inspire me to do better. I am losing too. Just slower than you. I have lost 19 lbs but it has taken all summer. Let us know how the prison job works out. You could always move back to IF. Surely you could find a job here in your field, or there is University place or BYU-I to get your degree at. No pressure, just an invite.
ReplyDeleteI will send you an invite. I sent one when we went private, but it must have gone to the wrong email address. I've gotten back all of my emails to you, except for the most recent. I will try again...
ReplyDeleteI had a funny dream last night. You and Trish were visiting and Trish was giving you Coke to drink. I said "WHat the heck are you doing?! She is trying to not drink that crap! She doesn't need you to give it to her!" Still you drank it, and still she continued to give it to you. I kept saying "Stop! She's done so well up until now! Stop!" So weird.
Also, I had a card for you. I thought I mailed it, but found it under some papers in the office. Crap! I will mail it off today!
Judy my email is c_simmons23@hotmail.com One more thing I would have never drank the coke maybe diet coke but not regular, don't like the taste
