Bike Ride

Yay! My husband gently ‘motivated’ me to go on a bike ride. Well, it was my idea that he get our bikes out since we are without a car right now. I figured getting them out was enough, haha. He pushed us into going for a ride before sunset. We biked 2 miles and it kicked my ass. Okay, my ass is fine but my arms really hurt now. Ugh. Damn fat wings. I think I need a new bike too. I can’t lift my leg high enough to get it over the bar and the seat and handle bars are too low.

I’ll quit whining now, ha. Yay, I went for a bike ride! I should try it again tomorrow.

Goal Check-In

I have been not been doing too much. The day to day gets me bogged done. Plus I’ve been on the edge of depression so I spend much of my time anxious and angry.

I submitted my resume to 2 (maybe 3) places for CNA work. I got one response right away. I did not reply yet because I am not licensed and I am not sure the schedule will work for til I don’t have my nephews. They do 12 hour shifts. I don’t even know if I can handle that but it would be cool to only work 3-4 days a week and bring home a nice paycheck.

I wanted to go job hunting on my day off but alas my car is in the shop. It may need a new engine, which will suck. I am hoping for the best. Once my car is fixed (fingers crossed–don’t want a car payment right now, ha) I will feel a bit better.

Because of my car I have been spending a little more time with my sister-in-law. She drove me around Wednesday and took me grocery shopping Thursday. It was good to hang out a little. I feel bad for bothering her though because she has a lot on her plate. Too much!

I have been writing a little more than I have in recent months but still not daily, and certainly I am not where I want to be.

I have not been exercising. The only exercise I get is when I work–which when we are really busy I am basically anchored to one place–and through housework. Ugh. I did get on the Wii today and I lost a few pounds. I am down a total of 7 pounds from February 24th. So that’s good. I want to do more. Much more.

I have not been online shopping as much…I look every day but I haven’t bought much, only 3 books (which I have already read one) in addition to my usual shipments of toilet paper, garbage bags, and coffee.

I don’t know. I am doing better, a little better, but I am nowhere near where I want to be. It is this damn depression and feeling stuck. Also, I don’t feel well much of the time. Work knocks what little energy I do have right out of me. And my low back hurts…part of it may be from my big belly but I think the main factor is I am having digestive issues. I must make it a point to go to the doctor when I get my car (a car) back.
