Today I
decided to brush the dust off my blog and start talking about crap again. It’s been too long. In my defense, work has been crazy busy for
like three months straight. It’s still
crazy busy. However, if I don’t give
myself an outlet other than Facebook, that crazy busy is just going to become
CRAZY AMY.
What have I
been doing, you ask? I only have like 8
followers, so if you guys want to know, then I’ll tell you.
Working. A LOT.
Have I been
cutting crap? Not really. I’ve been adding crap, but I HAVE lost 6
pounds. I’ll tell you about that in a
few minutes. What have I added? What
have I cut? Here ya go.
- My daughter now takes singing lessons. That’s an add. My recent pay raise pretty much pays for it.
- We stopped going to Awana, because my daughter was just NOT getting enough sleep on Wednesday nights. That’s a cut. While Megan got a lot out of it, it was complicating bedtime and Thursday morning. The amount of sleep a 7-year-old gets seems to be pretty important.
- Speaking of my daughter, we’ve decided to homeschool this coming school year. That decision was a tough road to walk, but we think the benefits will outweigh any detriments. If you’re the praying type, please keep us in prayer.
- My husband lost his job. There went the rest of my pay raise. Now my income is paying for all the necessities, but there is literally nothing left over. That’s a cut. Can I just say, though, that I love having him home full time. It has really removed some of the other stresses from me, even if we are a little strapped for cash at the moment.
- We started a business. That’s an add.
And that
brings me to that 6 pounds I recently lost.
When I say recently, I mean in the last seven days. After hounding some people and doing the
research, Rob and I decided to try out the ViSalus 90 Day Challenge. After only a week we’re both seeing
results. Rob also lost 6 pounds. That energy dip that usually comes
mid-afternoon has been non-existent for the past week as well. Overall, I’m already feeling a little
better. We’re so sold on the product
that we’ve decided to become distributors.
Our goal is to replace Rob’s within 60 days. I’ll let you know how that goes, and in the
meantime, if you want to try a sample, let me know. I’ll USPS you some.
