I wanna start blogging again!

I’m not sure what inspired me to come back to OD today, but here I am.  New year, new me – or so I hope!

This is gonna be a short entry tho b/c I’ve been sitting at the comp for a while & my neck is starting to bother me. 

So since I last wrote, I moved back home with my parents.  I didn’t exactly WANT to, but when going over my finances 1 day, I realized I was $8,000 in (credit card) debt.  Also I finally left my insurance co. job in Nov & started a new job at a law firm that I *HATED* so I knew I would prolly quit or get fired sometime in Dec.  So I moved back home on Dec 15 & quit my job the following Monday.  Chris managed to find me a part time job doing medical billing (which is not what I want to be doing but I need money) that I start next Monday just so I can have a cash flow to pay the bills & all that.  I’m also considering going back to school to be a dietician, but there’s A LOT of schooling for that & a lot of science classes which aren’t my forte.  So I’m not 100% sure on that yet.

Things w/ Chris & I have been up & down, mostly down lately b/c I’ve been very depressed.  Not having a job, it being winter & the fact that I am at my heaviest weight ever have all contributed to the depression.  The weight watchers diet I was on last year didn’t last.  I was 163 pounds when I started it last Jan & I lost about 10 pounds before I fell off the wagon (& stopped going to the gym completely).  Over the summer & fall I managed to gain even MORE weight, & I’m now at about 180.  So I seriously have to get back down to a healthy weight this year.

OK thats it for now, I will try to write again soon,  maybe fill in some of what happened in ’07 since I didn’t write much at all last year.  Happy 2008 to everyone!

I know what you mean about the weight. I lost weight over the summer and have not lost any since. It’s like I’ve become stagnant. I really need to sit down with myself and figure out an eating plan with groceries I can afford. And also figure out a way to get in some exercise time with the freaking hours that school throws at me. Good luck to you and I hope you start writing more.
