One of the great things I previously mentioned about Steven’s job is the fact they started him on insurance immediately following being hired. That’s just usually unheard of, most places require that you be with the company for atleast 3 to 6 months. And it was definitely something that we needed. After the first of the year, I’m planning on getting an appointment with an internist for a complete physical, bloodwork, the whole nine yards. It’s been well over a year, and I know that it is so important I keep a check on things.
On the downside, this company doesn’t offer very good life insurance. They do for the employee, but not the dependents. So, I am on the market for life insurance. I’ve considered term life insurance, but just not sure which route to go. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Just wanted to touch base with everyone. I’m still maintaining my weight, so no gains or losses to report. We are just busy preparing for the holidays. To be honest, I’ll be glad when it’s over. Money is tight this year, so Steven and I won’t be getting each other anything for Christmas this year. Atleast, nothing big like one of those cool tv lifts for our flat panel (maybe income tax time). We are just more or less concetrating on stuff for the kids. Which is fine with me.
Steven has been working for a brand new casino in a town about an hour north of here. He was previously working in Baton Rouge, but we just couldn’t see ourselves moving there. This other casino was offering some great incentives (higher base pay, immediate insurance, etc), so he just couldn’t pass it up. Turns out the schools are great there too, and there is one in particular that has special education classes set up for autistic children. Not sure if I had mentioned this before on this blog, but my 7 year old son, Christopher was diagnosed with autism at the age of five. This school would be a perfect solution for us. So we are preparing to move after the first of the year.
But right now, we are just trying to get through and enjoy the holidays, and trying not to let the stresses of money dampen our Christmas spirit. Today we are putting up our outside decorations, so I’m excited about that, maybe I’ll post a picture later. Until then…I’m out!
I stumbled across a great website I’d like to share with you guys. Dean Tornabene’s Lookcut is a great resource for weight loss news, articles and amazing dietary supplements and products. It has a plethora of information. I particularly found his section on Weight Loss Myths very interesting. And he has a Weight Loss Article index with a comprehensive list of weight loss topics. Anything thing from, how to tackle belly fat to how you can minimize weight gain during the holidays (something I am totally interested in). He also has a monthly newsletter you can subscribe to that provides weight loss secrets. tips on healthy living, long term weight loss insights that will help keep you on the inside track to permanent change.
Here’s a brief list of some of the dietary supplements he offers and I’m very interested in trying:
Coco Trim - The Core Issues of Weight Control
Slim Burst - Focused Weight Loss
Cst Boost - Jump Start Your Fat Loss
What’s also great is he offers a 7 day trial offer of some of his products. The Slim Burst/Cst Boost combo trial package is only $2.95 for S&H. Another product that also caught my eye, since I never get enough veggies and fruits into my diet, is the Body Glo Superfood. It has over 70 natural ingredients, with a full spectrum of fruits and veggies. Definitely something I would love to try and the price is very reasonable, the only complaint I have is I can’t find anything on each product page about how long the supply lasts. I might be missing something though.
But overall, I would say that this is a very resourceful site, and you guys should go check it out!
Wow…I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I’ve posted. I promise that I will never go this long again, without posting something to let you guys know what’s going on in my crazy world. So far no more gain to report, so that’s a relief, but still haven’t lost either.
As you all may know, January of this year, I set out on a mission to lose 150 lbs, and I fell very short of that goal. It has almost been a year since I began this journey, and I’ve only lost a total of 26 lbs. I know, that’s better than nothing, but it was over 35 lbs and I’ve gained some back. So that’s no fun. But still within this year, I can say I’ve lost 26 lbs, so that’s very encouraging, and to be honest, I’m pretty proud of myself. So in a way, I still feel like a winner.
I’m hoping after the holidays, I can get back on my journey and work towards completing my original goal of losing 150 lbs. I just may start with a smaller goal of 50lbs, meet it, then move forward. Part of me is wondering if I should just bite the bullet, and start now, forget about the temptation of the holidays, because I would hate to gain more, and come January be back to square one. That would be devastating. All I know is, I’ve been completely out of control, and I have got to do something. I’m not talking diet pills or anything, I just need to figure out how I’m going to kick start this new mission.
Any suggestions??
I'm Ruthie. I'm a 37 year old SAHM to four, trying to lose over 150 pounds. Come join me as I embark on this long and tough journey. There will be many bumps along the way, but I sure could use the support.
