today was my 1st day back at work after almost a week-off (long-weekend in pittsburgh and sick baby)… it feels good to be on a schedule again and hopefully it will help deck as well since he’s been under the weather and teething (i think so anyway)… the new house continues to evolve – we had an electrician put in some ceiling fan boxes last week (oh, how i miss my fan in the bedroom) and the verizon guy will be installing Fios on thursday… i think this is the longest i’ve gone without tv ever! we DO get a few channels on the normal tv, but nothing good so i’m like “why bother”… i have missed my stupid/pointless shows and am looking forward to breaking bad and true blood…

with life being so hectic lately and a broken toe – i’ve put my health, losing weight, and exercise on the back burner… i look at myself everyday and wonder “what the hell happened?” and shake my head in disbelief… i was looking at pictures of myself from just last year and can’t believe how fat i am and how out of shape i look… i was healthier looking when i was pregnant and that’s really sad… i’ve used one excuse after another and really can’t continue on this path for much longer because it’s just not good… so this week, i’m going to start with working out again and then will be going back on WW… i hate how i feel, i hate how i look, and i don’t want to be this way around my family… deck is becoming more active everyday and if i want to keep up – i have to do something and something soon…

so in the meantime, here are some women to be inspired by…

• Bree lost 110 lbs. and won beauty queen crown
• Sheryl is a WW success story
• Raven loses 35 pounds
• Jennifer became a WW spokesperson

happy tuesday…
