Ready for a new week.

I am feeling better about week #2.

I am going to be more organized and my workouts and meals will NOT suffer. I am feeling more of a routine coming on. :)

My plan will be cardio in the am and then an upper body workout with the gals I work with in the pm.

meals will be squeaky clean and I will down my water.

I will get some pics tomorrow and post them.

Hope everyone else has a great week and remember....

Forty hours are IN!

Woohoo...I made it through the first week at work. I can say yesterday around 3 pm I was feeling EXHAUSTED. I got up every morning at 3 am...so sleeping in until 7 this morning felt soooooooooo good.

My job is not boring, there is lots to learn and I love it. I love challenging stuff and even though it may take me a few weeks to feel 100% confident I think this is going to be a great job for me.

When Tom is on day shift we drive to work together which is nice cause we can actually chat without kids interrupting us.

Anyway..job is going great...I am back in the workforce AND get this. My boss and the gal who is training me to take her position are going to start Body for LIFE on monday. YIPPIE!!!!

I want to share pics with you and I will..but Karli took my camera to Seattle. SO next week I will get some pics of the stairs, my office and the mine.

In the meantime..check this pic out of my sweet, gorgeous hubby. He is not mining in this pic, but still working hard.

YUM!

I have so much to tell you all.....

I want to get some pics to go with what I have to say.

Just so you know I'm really enjoying my job. It is challenging, very busy AND there are two very important benefits to the job that I have to share with you all.

#1 perk = I get to see my hubby in his diggers....all dirty. One word..YUMMY!

LOL

#2 perk = unless you have been there five years you have to walk this flight of stairs to get to the offices. OH MY HECK...this is quite a flight of stairs and they are AWESOME!

I will get a pic for you all so you can see what I'm talking about. :)

I'm hoping to see a few people update their blogs...cough cough TROY aka ZOOMAN.

OH and I'm happy I was able to sing Happy Birthday to Suzanne (Bubblz) today...even though it was actually her moms birthday. LOL

I think my brain is in OVERLOAD.

Start work tomorrow....

Yes, I am NERVOUS..but I truly believe the Lord has blessed me with this job..so I trust that it's going to be the right job for me.

I am determined and confident! I am not afraid or discouraged, for the Lord my God is with me wherever I go. Joshua 1:9

Reading that brings me SO MUCH COMFORT. I know He is with me and I know He wants only good for me.

This job is going to be challenging and I am up for it.

If my name happens to come to your mind tomorrow...feel free to say a little prayer for me. :)

I'll give you an update tomorrow evening.

Have a BLESSED day.

Physical complete ....

I'm almost ready to start my new job. Everything is falling into place and I truly believe this job is meant to be. :)

Only 2 more days until I am officially back on the payroll and no longer a stay at home mom. Man ...my kids are growing up.

I did find out that my weight is up about 15 lbs since my show. YIKES! I really need to get my bootay in gear and get that weight off. I think having a solid schedule and new gym membership will help.

My eats have been good, but my working out has suffered this week. I have been more focused on spending quality time with the kids and getting my home in order.

I sure hope everyone else is doing great.

hugs,
Tracy

SO SAD.....miserable ...and believe it or not MEAN! Yes, I was so negative and unhappy. My poor husband.

But ...then in 12 weeks...yes only 12 weeks this happened.
