I'm Here!!

I'm here... and this time hopefully to stay!! I'm so sorry about not posting and not commenting on other peoples posts! I sucked for the past few months. :) Congrats to HER for getting married!!!! I'm very excited for you both!

So I don't even know where to start with all of this :)

Married life is good, well great. It was a lot, LOT, of change in the beginning with the new job, semester starting, and being married. Lol. But that has passed for the most part and I am loving being a wife. I love calling him my husband, love waking up next to me, and love when we kiss goodnight. It's honestly an amazing feeling when you find that special someone and are prepared to spend the rest of your life with that person. So, what can I say? I'm a happy newlywed!!! :)

I got a new job about fifteen minutes from my house (on a good traffic day) and I absolutely love it. I'm a Medical Assistant in a Pediatric office and it's great. The atmosphere is great, the people are fun and great, and I love the patients. I love meeting new people, helping people, and seeing the kids get healthy! I am def a people person and the medical field is where I belong, it's where my heart is!!

With that said, I cannot wait until school and pre-reqs are over!!!! I want to be done with school and into the nursing program already. School this semester is going okay though. It's not exactly first on my list but I am getting it done and I know that doesn't sound the best but this semester I'm taking History and psychology of personality... so it's not absolutely pertaining to nursing :) lol. So we will see how the semester ends..

Youth group, in case you didn't know.. I'm the youth group leader at my church, and I love it! It is a great feeling to help lead young people to the Lord. We have currently renovating the middle building to make it the new youth room. It should be a great project for us all to do!!! I love it!!! I wish I could have a clone who could do youth group completely full time :) lol.

And now to the dreadful news.... I am almost positive I have gained all the weight I lost back, plus some. I feel like a freaking blimp sometimes. And tonight, my mom said something along the lines of my face looking a bit rounder... great mom, love the honesty. I mean, I'm not a completely idiot, I noticed it last week but just ignored it. So now, (AGAIN!!) I can't ignore it anymore. I want to be a great wife and give 100% to my husband, which I can't completely do if I'm a million pounds over weight. I want to give 100% for myself adn live the best life I can and live it to the fullest. I also, most importantly, want to live my life to the fullest that God wants me to live. I want to do all He has for me, but I have limitations if I'm this overweight. And if I want to have children, I want to be an active mother who is completely hands on with her children.. yet I can't in this shape. What the heck happened to the old Sam? The skinny Sam :) lol I have all of these reasons for getting in shape and getting healthy, yet I don't do them. Why is that?? Ugh, can you tell I'm a bit frustrated with myself lately? lol...

So the solution.. I'm thinking about joining Weight Watchers for starters. I know I need to make changes in my eating habits, especially since I'm the one who is doing the cooking. I have a few friends who seem to be doing well on WW, so I think I will give it a try. What do you guys think about WW and about this?? Since I am working 40 plus hours a week with just the Medical Assisting.. that doesn't include the youth group leader, being a wife, maintaining the house, etc I am going to take things slow to not overwhelm myself any longer. I need to find time to put work out in my routine because I know thats how I will see the most results... but I am thinking to add that slowly due to my schedule. What do you guys think?

Ok, I'm done blabbing for now. Let me knwo what you ladies adn gents think. I miss y'all :)

Sorry so long!!!

And Lastly, really?!?! Yankees in the world series again. UGH!!!!
