Keeping it up!

I am so impressed with myself that I have written twice now in the last week or so.
So, so far I am doing ok with my goals. I work out only once a week right now but I figure it's better than nothing.

Hannah is doing wonderfully!! She is sitting up on her own and is starting to figure out crawling! It is so exciting to see her develop and grow up. Although sometimes I feel like she is growing up way too quickly.

So we were trying to decide what we were going to do this year as far as school goes. In Orillia I still require .5 of a credit in a certain course that only the Orillia Lakehead campus requires but Thunder Bay doesn't. So we were thinking that we might be moving to Thunder Bay for the year to finish up school. It wasn't a decision that we wanted to make but we felt it was the best thing to do if it meant I could finish up school. Well, we found out that although they don't require the course that Orillia does, but Thunder Bay replaces it with 2 more full credits of a course.... So obviously I decided to stay here and stick it out for another year.

So this year we are going to stay at the Orillia campus. I will be working for the most part of the year and taking a couple courses to get on track for my professional year. Ty will be in school full time like usual.


So for work I am trying to figure out what I am going to do. I am thinking I will try my hardest to supply teach as much as possible, which means I need to get my resume, cover letter and portfolio in order to apply and go on interviews. In case I don't get enough supply teaching jobs I am going to try and get a part time position at the Oxford learning center or Sylvan. I figure I need to get as much teaching experience as possible so that this year benefits my future career plans.

We are also looking for a new apartment. Right now we are living with Ty's parents for the summer so try and save some money and get situated. We have always moved into the first place that we look at never really take our time to find the perfect apartment. So we are slowly trying to look and find something that suits our needs perfectly!!

Phew...well that is what is going on in our lives right now. I am going to go and work on my resume right now.


OH!! And we are leaving for the cottage this Friday. SOOOOO EXCITED!!!

NEW BEGINNING!!

So today is the start of a new me!!!
I have been feeling so BLAH latley. I have a crummy attitude and I just don't feel so great about myself. I have lost all of my pregnancy weight but my body definitely isn't where it should be.
So today is the beginning of my new life.

Here are the goals that I have set for myself and I really want everyone reading this to keep me motivated to achieve them:

- sweat at least 3 times a week (cardio of some kind)
- do an ab workout everyday (something to get my stomach muscles back to how they were pre- Hannah)
-don't sweat the small stuff (take a deep breath more often and think if the situation is really that big a deal)
-take some me time (scrapbook, blog, bake...do something that makes me happy)
- put more energy into my calling and church (be more creative, study scriptures more)

I really think that by doing these things I will be a better mother and wife. I have just gotten myself so stressed out lately over the smallest things. Today by hubby said something that really made it click "why are you so strung out?". So that is my goal, to not get so strung out and run myself thin.

So I need everyone to cheer me on and make sure I am updating my blog at least once a week and keeping on track!!!

HERE'S TO THE NEW ME!!!!
Cheers

I will add this to the end of all of my blogs:

waist: 33" ...can that be right???
bust: 37"
rear: 34:
weight: 153lbs
How am I feeling this week: Tired, crummy, blah
