I Have Surfaced!!!!


I was rebuked in the last threads comments so I thought I better break down and post something before it got violent. lol This is my story:


My home-based business has been keeping me deadly busy since Friday February 16 when I found out that an entire leg of my sales team was being removed because of unethical behaviour by one of my sales leaders. That threw me for a loop to say the least. I had earned the title of Executive Unit Leader way back in October and I had the trip to Jamaica in the bag, as it were. I was coasting along and still building and securing things when it all hit the fan. When that happened, I had to scramble in a way that I never had to before with my business. I have been doing appointments, meetings and training nearly non-stop trying to rebuild. I did it. But it was a lot of work...and now, I have to wait and see that everything that has been put into place works out the way it is supposed to. I am a bit of a control freak with my business, and rightfully so. I have learned that you cannot count on other people and that is the sad reality of it. If it is up to me, it gets done...if it is up to others, I hope and pray!! Bottom line...everything looks good and it looks like I earned my Executive status back, but I won't believe it until the statements run. It has to happen now for me to have my trip to Jamaica...I have this one chance and that is all.


So....between my lovely business experiences, homeschooling three children, running a family and doing the Pastor's Wife thing...it has been a very busy month.


The BEST news of all...for me on a personal level...I have finally hit 30 pounds GONE!!!!!

This last month's weightloss really slowed down but I am thrilled to report I finally hit 30. That was driving me nearly as crazy as my business!! lol However, I still haven't started to exercise and I am thinking that Monday may be the day. I always have good intentions but they are definitely not always fulfilled.


That is my story and I am sticking to it!!!

Checking In

I have been MIA for a number of reasons.

1) I really do not have anything of substance to say.
2) I have been hard pressed for time lately.
3) I am really scrambling to keep my home based business moving forward.

The best news I have right now is that I am down 28 pounds and there are 18.5 inches less of me than there was before!! All of my jeans are so baggy...it feels great!!

I am still watching my calories but my exercise has been extremely lame. I must confess that I find it hard to exercise when I am still losing weight without it. My schedule has been such that it is the last thing on my mind and when I do think about it....it is late and I am too beat to do it. My weight loss seems to be slowing down, so I might have to add it whether I want to or not. Let's face it, I cannot complain about losing 28 lbs in only 2 months.

I find myself home from church this morning with one of our children. He complained of a stomach ache all last evening. At 3 am this morning, he awoke and vomited profusely. He is very pale this morning so we thought it best not to spread the cootie to others at church. Alas, I am missing another service. I do not like to miss them...but I was actually on nursery duty today.
