So thats pretty awesome. I feel good. I dont feel deprived, or like I'm starving. When I am hungry, I eat. I just dont eat out much anymore. Maybe once a week, twice if its a busy week. When I eat out I look online ahead of time to have a good idea of what is a better choice. I am making our lunches everyday with lots of fresh vegitables. I am eating fruit for snacks. I just feel more knowledgeable with the points system that weight watchers teaches you. In my head you can eat a salad from Island and it cant be that bad... right? WRONG! Its like 40 freaking points for one salad, when I only get 30 points a day lol. My new "vice" is a protien style veggie burger with mushrooms. MMM!

On the job front, Im happy to announce that I got promoted to a better position at work. I am not a government contracted Legal Assistant. I got a $2.50 an hour raise, and am very excited to start my new role here at OMHA. Admin gave me a great start, but its time to move forward.

Im also going back to school this fall for my "new" career move so thats good. Ill give you more details as it falls into place :)

Life is good. My mother is getting better, my grandpa is doing well, David is finishing up school, Im going back to school and I have gotten promoted... life is good :) Count your blessings, name them one by one!!
