My weight that is.
Down 1.6lbs this past week. Yesterday, when I weighed myself at home, I was about a pound less than what they said at WW...but I won't complain. At least it is something, right?
I guess I am a bit disappointed though. I have been a work out fiend lately. I mean, more that I think I have ever worked out, and still only aver ageing about 1lb per week. Ughh. Not sure what I am missing, if anything. Maybe my body is just fighting it with every tooth and nail. Again, at least I am making some progress. More than I was on my own!
Job search for DH is going. But just that. He is dropping off is resume at two Mercedes dealers today with hopes they are looking for someone. And I think he has applied to a couple of places on-line. But nothing yet.
I guess I feel a bit lighter about the situation. I know it is in God's hands and that He has the ultimate plan of what is going to happen. Luckily, he was able to get unemployment compensation right away. And luckily, that will be the perfect amount to cover daycare for the month. That is a relief. Not to mention, my work review is coming up in the next two weeks (which was a surprise because they told me my review date would be moved out since I had my review late last year because I was on maternity leave). So that is a nice surprise to be able to get my raise a month in advance. That will help.
Again, I know it is all in God's hands. And all we can do is follow His will and His ways and His plan will fall upon us.
I feel bad, though, that we really have not been doing any praying together as a couple. I really felt a strong urge to start praying as soon as DH lost his job...but never got around to talking about it, well, because we weren't really talking that first week. But, that nudging feeling is still there. And rather than talk about it, we should really make small steps toward that goal and start praying together about his job, about his dad, about our finances, etc. (Small steps, right Jamie?)
Not to mention going to church and tithing. Ugh...not on our list in the past months. But really has to be starting in September. And I say in September because this weekend we are going up to spend the weekend with Joe's parents and won't be able to get to church this week. Next weekend is Josey's B-day party...but it is on Monday...so we will make every effort to show up next week...and start tithing again. Trust the lord with all we have!!
Anyway, lots or rambles today.
One more comment...I am finally starting my project at work!! Yipee. No more boredom!!! Not sure how well it is going to pan out seeing my boss is not the best at delegating or explaining his expectations. He is much more likely to do it himself rather than try to explain it and have someone else do it. So, for all I know I won't get to lead the project, I will just follow as he gives me direction. Hopefully not. Hopefully he will give me full reigns and just be there for assistance as needed. We will see how it goes.
Hope you all are having a wonderful week!!

Great job on the weight loss. From what I have heard a pound a week is the healthy way to lose weight and the best way to keep the weight off for good!!! Keep it up and those 10 lbs will be gone before you know it!!
I hope your DH finds something soon!!! Mike has been of the job hunt (while he continues to get paid by UCLA) for about a year and I know what a stress that can be!!! The right thing will come along when it is right!!! Hang in there until then!!!
Best of luck with your new project at work and be sure to post lots of pictures for Josie's party!! Wow!!! I can't believe she is one already!!!
Great job on the weight loss!!
How great that DH was able to get employment right away and that it covers child care. God is providing for you. :)
I'm so happy to hear you're still sticking with the diet and exercise despite how hard it is. You're making great progress!! :)
I can't wait to see pics from Josey's Birthday...how fun!
Congratulations! The weight never seems to come off quick enough huh? You're doing it the healthy way so it will take a bit more time, but it'll also stay off if you do it right. The important thing is to not get discouraged and just take it one day at a time.
Good wishes for the job search. Patience pays off - and hopefully in a big, big way!
thanks for the comments on my recent posts, and yes, you do have that, and so much more to look forward to with a girl! you will see how naturally it comes... well, maybe not naturally, but you just do it. like childbirth. it has to happen, so you do it.
i know that you are on the right track with praying together. you need to do it as soon as you can. you will be amazed at the difference it makes. just talk to God like you do on your own, but with your husband. even if he doesn't pray out loud, the fact that you are there together is something that the Lord will honor. i will also continue to pray that things go as the Lord wills for your family.
Yep! Small steps. :o) Speaking of, I think I may make that first step towards the praying at dinner. I know I can pray at dinner no matter what table I'm sitting around (our dinners have been out lately) and I think I finally might work up the gumption. LOL :o)
Good for you! You are doing great with your weight loss!
Good luck on the new project and on heading back to church. DH and I are going to try to find a church we like in September. It has been difficult and we haven't been trying as hard as we should have. But September is a good time to start!
