I’m back
after almost a year’s hiatus I thought I’d come back. there have been some up and downs, too many to list at this moment.
currently, my fiancé is waiting to hear about a new job. we should know this week or next. if he gets it, he’ll be making about a much as I do. they will fly him out to Wisconsin for 4 days. which is exciting because he’s never been. but he’ll be going back there to meet all the big wigs at the factory. when he gets back he’ll have about 2 months of training and then he’ll will manage the store by himself. it’s nice because I’ll not have to worry about the bills any more. we’ve been living off a single income for the past year. and it’s been rough. we’ve had a little help -- not much. but we have gotten through it.
and if he lands this job he will be RENTING A HOUSE! I am over the fuckin’ moon about this. we really need the room. and after talking a few months back we’ve decided we want another baby. the house is 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom. one car garage. backyard. pretty much everything we need for the next couple of years. once we move into this place we are going to start planning on buying a house.
but first, job. we’re fairly confident he’ll get it. it’s got benefits, 401k, pay raises every year, all that crap. im keeping my fingers crossed.
as for my weight loss, i haven’t been to the gym in a year. i was doing well about keeping the weight off until i started eating a bunch of sweets and shit at night. gained 10lbs real quick that way. so I’m currently at 190lbs. which isn’t bad, but not too good either. i have completely lost my motivation. with all the stress from last summer and being responsible for all the bills it’s been hard to find time to focus my mind on things i need to do for myself. and with a potential pregnancy within the next few months i am afraid i will gain all that i lost back. but i don't think that will happen. the way i eat now compared to the way i ate during my first pregnancy has changed drastically. im confident that when the weight does come it wont be so much, and ill be able to control it once the baby gets here.
there are a lot of changes that i am hoping to see within the next 5 years. hopefully writing here will motivate me. i will try my best to keep up with this thing even if i am just writing to myself.
