Thank you
@ottawamom for starting this thread!!!
Both the dh and I are both wanting and needing to loose a little weight...me more than him
and motivated to try to loose some before the DD wedding in Mexico in May.
It's easier to stay on track with both of us needing to do it. He wants do a paleo food plan...for me...I just want to make better choices, smaller portions, and get a little more movement. This is a more realistic plan for us. I just feel it is unrealistic to cut out certain foods totally...I can cut out many of carbs most of the time...but darn it...if I want cheese on my spaghetti squash with meat sauce on it...I'm going to do it lol
I thinks it's just making healthier choices.
I am still working 2 jobs, but the second job I have asked to NOT work more than 2-3 shifts /week. I'm still exhausted from the xmas rush, working 65-70 / week, and having zero life outside of just working, sleeping and eating. I will keep the secon job until probably April/ May. By then, with the dd wedding, the older son graduating 2 weeks later, and that same son needing a surgery this summer...I won't have any extra time to work 2 jobs. It was a temporary thing as murphy's law hit us VERY HARD and was needing the dh to work overtime and me get a second job without us adding a whole bunch of debt and still be able to be on plan to almost have zero debt when the youngest graduates...then add into there the dd destination wedding
There was no way around not putting our noses to the grind for 12- 18 months to get over this hurdle.
I'm hoping now that I'm not working so much, I'll be able to find time and energy to add some movement again. Before I was just exhausted from working so much. I have repaid for my Beachbody on demand again. So I have many workout programs to choose from to get my butt moving again.
And as a side note...those quilts were beautiful!!! I'm a quilter as well...not that I've had much time the last year to sew much...but I did make one quilt I sent in to Humboldt for the community to give out to emergency workers and others in the community who stepped up during that horrible time and also was able to finish one for a very good friend.
