Going on five days of my new life of eating healthier and exercising and everything is going great so far. I've exercised 3 out of the 5 days, so I'm happy with that. Plan to start walking this coming week. Waiting for the pool heater to get fixed, then I'll be back to my water aerobics, which is my favorite form of exercise. I HATE to sweat, so LOVE water aerobics. It is also much easier on my knee and back being in the pool. The temp. in the pool right now is a balmy 67 degrees, so um... no, I won't be getting in until the heater is fixed, thank you very much! I'm very excited to get back into the pool though, because I totally kick major ass with water exercise. I plan to get my workout up to an hour over time. Will start at about 1/2 hour and work up from there. Tonight for dinner, Chris marinated steaks yesterday and grilled them for us tonight, and I steamed green beans and we had some alfredo noodles, but I cut the butter in half and we use 1% milk, so they were OK to eat. I also had two glasses of white wine, which is my "treat for the week". Again, not going to starve myself and deprive myself, because from experience, I know that doesn't work. It's all about knowing what you need to do, and doing it effectively, not idiotically.
So, kid update. Connor got his latest report card on Friday, and he has all A's and B's!! We are SO proud of him!! He is rocking the LIFE Academy, and he is just so amazing! We have an appointment at the end of the month with Voc. Rehab. to find out what they're all about and what the future will hold for him regarding employment opportunities. I also have his IEP meeting this coming Tuesday, so can't wait to get the update! Chris has decided (of course, you have to remember that he changes his mind pretty much daily...) that he is moving back to VT this summer. His plan is to find a job here and to save up enough money to get himself back there. Apparently he and a few of his friends are going to get an apartment together. We'll see how that goes. I hope it works and he can be successful. He really wants to go to culinary school, which I think he'd be great at. However, we kind of need to rob a bank or find someone who wants to donate to a great cause (ha ha!) Seriously though, culinary school is very expensive. I told him he needs to look into grants and student loans; that's how JR and I both put ourselves through college. We paid on our student loans for years into our married lives. That's how you are successful, by doing it yourself and paying for it yourself.
Lastly for tonight, I'm looking for part-time work. I really need something I can do from home, as I need to be here for Con after school, and during the summers. I really don't want to do the whole medical billing or transcription thing, but it's in the back of my mind. I would really love to take in an infant, just one thanks, to watch here in our house. I've signed up with Care.com, so we'll see what happens there. If any of you know of any work at home opportunities, PLEASE let me know. Thanks!!
Time to go - JR and I rented a movie from Redbox tonight - The Five-Year Engagement. Hope it's good!
