Yesterday was my first "clean" day back on my diet. I started out last week but it seems like I was having one meal that was not on plan so I guess I kindof weaned myself into this thing. I haven't been to the gym and am planning on suspending our membership today. Not sure what the future holds and that extra expense needs to be put off for now. It's not like I can't do other stuff, it's just lack of motivation for me when I'm home. It's easier to quit and plop down on the couch, at the gym you can keep going because you have nothing better to do there, KWIM? So, I'll use my excercise bike, pilates tapes, and I have weights for my arms. BTW, my weigh-in was 162 yesterday. I'm going to start my official weigh-ins again on Monday. Will get my "ticker" updated as well as my graphics.
Hubby seems to think that he won't be fired on Tuesday when the VP comes into town. He thinks he's still got some time. We've been working on his resume and have jobs saved from the internet. He also seems to think that he can get hired on fairly easily with one of their clients if he loses his job. I'm halfway tempted to tell him to just find another job but he's afraid that they'll call his employer for references while he's still working there. So, it's either all or nothin' and we're just not ready for the "all" right now. I'm wanting to get a job to start getting things paid down and/or save up money but he's really against it right now. Really, what I could earn in a month or two on minimum wage won't make too much of an impact anyways, so I'm not trying to convince him otherwise at this point.
I'm still mulling over what to do about my mom's dogs IF anything. I've had most everyone I've asked tell me that I need to report them as dangerous dogs and that's it's against the law to NOT report them. I'm just not sure though. My Pastor's wife in WA really thinks that satan is trying to cause a big blowup between her/us and that this will probably do it. And she's in the camp that it was partially my fault when they killed my dog because I gave her permission to bring them over here and you can't expect a small helpless dog to survive two bigger ones. I agree it's partially my fault but given the fact that they are now fighting and injuring each other I really think they need to be put down. I really just shutter to think of what these dogs *might* do to another animal, human, or even my Mom. My grandmother fears that they might turn on my mom and seriously injure her. When we were on our trip moving Mom down, these dogs ended up almost getting a heatstroke in Las Vegas. One could barely walk. I think that they might have suffered brain damage and are just ticking timebombs so-to-speak. Well, enough of that! Will let you know what I decide and/or do.
All in all I'm in much better spirits than I was 2 days ago. I've accepted our fate whatever it is God has planned for us. It's just so scary to face the unknown....and we have lots of decisions to make which always terrifies me!
