Changes

Been a while since I wrote!  A few changes since the last time I wrote.  I did decide to go back to school to seek my Masters Degree, I start in January!  I'm excited.  I'm majoring in Professional Counseling.  I've always wanted to do something with children and help make families happy.  So with that my options are open to numerous fields, and not just with children, I can work with adults if I need to do until I find the job I really want or if I ever need a change.  It'll be tough with a 16 month old and a husband that's only home a few evenings out of the week, but I can do it!

I've also decided it's time for me to get healthy again.  So this blog may turn into a vent/weight loss blog :)  I miss the days that I could run and feel great and play sports without feeling old the next day.  A lot of people say they'll wait until the beginning of the year as their resolution, I used to be one of those people, but by the time the new year starts, I could already be a quarter of the way there.  So why waste time?  I started changing some eating habits yesterday and actually lost 2 pounds!  A few years ago when I lost a lot of weight I did it by not eating carbs or any sugars.  I lost 50 pounds and felt great.  But as soon as I start eating the things I shouldn't again, it came back a lot faster than I got rid of it.  So this time I'm not going to completely deprive myself of bad food.  I'll take it in very little moderation so that I don't have the same thing happen.  I also made a detox water I found on Pinterest yesterday.  It has ginger root and mangos in it.  It's not bad, I'm not a big mango fan but the flavor of what I made is pretty weak, so I can tolerate it. 

I'll check in on Monday to let you know how the week went :)
