Okay, so I may not be the most interesting read and I may not say anything that you don't already know but this diary is mainly for myself. I enjoy sharing it with others, particularly my close friends so they know what's happening in my world, but its still mainly for me. I love to type out my thoughts. Its a great break from my otherwise hectic day. And I love reading over old entries and seeing how much life has changed. So enjoy the read but try not to be too critical.

Who Said Resolutions Are Solely For New Years?
November 08, 2006 - 10:21 a.m.

So here it is. I'm on a small diet. More workout than anything else. I don't eat that much or that unhealthy so its more just a matter of getting fit again. Here's my goal, I'm hoping to far surpass it but I need to start somewhere, right? I want to lose 10 pounds by January. That is totally doable. I have a VIP pass to Ozark Fitness. If I work out M-F for at least one hour, I should reach this goal before Jan. I worked out yesterday afternoon for just under an hour. Today, I will be taking the kids to the Kidnazium and will be working out for one full hour. Starting tomorrow, I will be working out at 5am so that I can get my workout in, regardless of what's going on that day. I was supposed to work out this morning, as well. I awoke at 4am but I did not feel that I would be able to drive there safely as we'd gone to sleep near midnight and I was feeling a bit light headed.

So, my short term goals are to go to bed at a reasonable hour ... 10:30pm at the latest ... and work out at the planned time of 5am tomorrow morning. My long term goal, as I stated a few seconds ago, is to lose 10 pounds. I would also like to lose a few inches on my waist and thighs. Lord-willing, those will go hand in hand with the 10 pounds. We will see. I will track my progress, however small, on my MSN space. Journaling it will help me keep my goal.

My next project, side losing weight, is to find a part time job. Paul and I discussed this yesterday and felt I needed a full time job to keep the kids in a normal routine but I think if I find a part time job, working the same hours/days every week, they'll be just fine. As long as its not changing on a daily/weekly basis, its still routine. So theoretically, if I work 8am to 2pm and then spend 2pm to 5pm with the kids M-F, then they should be just fine and I'll have my social/work outlet (I've been dying for some real clerical work). We'll see if I am able to find a job like that. I don't want to take a job that pays only $6 or $7 an hour. It wouldn't be worth the time as it wouldn't even pay the babysitter. So, we'll see what comes up. I won't actively be looking until after the New Year as I don't want to start in the middle of the holidays.

Blah blah blah. Okay, I have rambled on more than I should. I've got a ton of stuff to do today. The fact that the words are just not flowing doesn't help either. I had to update, though. I haven't done so since Halloween. So here's my update. Hope it didn't bore you to tears! Toodles!
