J.T.J.I.J.

Well, did you think I was never coming back? Please don’t answer if it involves a statement that goes something like: “Oh, I didn’t even notice you didn’t blog!” OR “I was actually glad for the break.” That just wouldn’t be very nice. I have to admit, I didn’t miss getting up early and coming to work. I am one of those people that has to repeat the “I’m just thankful to have a job,” chant in the mornings. I especially get that way after the night I had last night. I couldn’t sleep for anything. I woke up a hundred times, nearly sweated to death and had nightmares. I don’t know what’s going on with me but I need to calm the heck down.

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend! I did. I had four days off and had amazing food. Here’s a picture of David and me on Memorial Day:



Yesterday, I started my initiative to Jettison The Junk In June (J.T.J.I.J.). I have to say...it’s going ALRIGHT but I’m concerned about Saturdays. That is going to be my real challenge. I already have people trying to feed me and make plans. I’ve just decided that I will spread out my points as best as possible and just suffer. Haha. Let’s just say I’m excited about Sunday. I know it will pay off though. It HAS to pay off. I haven’t weighed in a few weeks mostly because I know that I’ve gained but I have gotten out of the habit and that’s not a good thing. I probably won’t officially weigh in this Saturday but I will definitely go on my own scale to see where I’m at and hopefully I will be back to normal by the end of next week. I am glad I started this project to be good every day (except Sunday) in June because I was headed down a scary path.

Tonight is recipe night. I will be happy to share all about that tomorrow. Truth be told, I’m more excited about next week’s recipe which may or may not involve pancakes and biscuits...but I will just have to wait to talk about that.

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday afternoon!

“Always thinking it's gonna hurt forever
But then one day it doesn't anymore
You've come so far
Still a long way to go
Just remember you're never alone

Everybody loves someone
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody says they'll never fall again
But everybody does
Yeah, everybody does

Everybody jumps in
Never really knowin'
Where it's really goin'
You just have to trust in
Your heart, oh yeah.” Everybody Does-Martina McBride
