It gets crazy doesn't it?? Completely just jumps up and scares you at times! It's been a month since my last post and so much has happened! We spent a few days in Park City with my wonderful inlaws and had a very fun, much needed break from reality. The topic came up of what would it take to get us to move back up to SLC area, and we discussed various things that would have to happen in order for that to work. So when we got home I applied to a couple different jobs, one was a transfer request to one of the SLC/Utah Valley Macy's stores, and the other was an office job. I interviewed for both over the phone and got the transfer to Cottonwood Mall Macy's, there is no mall there any more, so now it's just Cottonwood Macy's! Then began the househunting, as CMM needs me to start in two weeks.. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?! OIY! So up we ran to the SLC area to hunt for a place we could call home. Todd and I both have similar ideas as to what is important to have in a home we live in.... and you would think that makes it easier to find a home,,, well it doesn't! The cost of living up in Utah is a lot higher than the cost of living in Vegas..... right now we are in a 3000 sq ft home and paying $1200 a month. This is a HUGE house and fits our family rather well when we are all together!, although it is not very often we have all the kids here at the same time, it's nice to know we can!!!! Well the homes we looked at in SLC were half the size or smaller and the same amount of money or higher! It's hard to make the transition when you are used to one thing and looking at something totally different!! UGH!
We found one though,, that we both like,,, no love!! and are excited to get into it. It is about 1000 sq ft smaller than what we have now, so downsizing is a must!!! *wish it was so easy to downsize my pants!* So between packing and working and hunting down boxes, and doing a fundraiser for my hubsters kidney transplant, life has run away from me and I have lost all track of time.
Throughout this entire process I have tried to hang onto the good habits I have worked on developing with my eating. And for the most part have been able to maintain my weight loss,, until this last week! You can't take a recovering alcoholic into a bar and say "sit and drink water and watch me enjoy what you loved the most not so long ago!" Same with a food addict. The difference is,, one NEEDS food to live! You can live withOUT alcohol believe it or not!, haha..So I have been eating on the go constantly. Grabbing something to munch on on the way to work, and eating as I pack... unfortunately these food choices have gone from celery, carrots, and other delicious nutrition options to over processed, desperately lacking any nutritional value, JUNK FOOD! We are trying to use the food we have on hand so we aren't wasting money on groceries, as we are only going to be here for a few more days.... that only makes it harder, once you run out of the fresh stuff. I need to get back on track,,, and just toss the junk that is in my house.... so the plan this week,, is to dejunk my house, and my kitchen and lighten our load!!
I ate an apple on my way into work yesterday, and I could almost hear my body say " OH THANK HEAVENS!!!!"
Must spend this week remembering proccessed food BAD,, whole food GOOD!!!!! One step at a time, one foot in front of the other, breath,,,,,, in and out, over and over,,,, repeat! And above all remember,, You are not a failure,, you are human,, mistakes are expected and to be forgiven,,,, learn and move on!
