My crazy life

Boy have things changed. This is all of us + a boyfriend. Talk about staying busy. We are the SHETRON'S

Week 1 Weigh In...

I lost 2 lbs. This was a slow week for me. I didn't get to exercise but 1 day so far this week. Oh well, I am happy with the loss but hope to really pick up the weight loss next week. Shooting for 3 lbs for next week, yippeee! My goal is to be in the 180's by next week at this time.

This is now my new weight loss blog.

I have now made this my new weight loss blog. I think Miken was the only one I had following me on here anyways, lol. So here is my story. I have always been overweight. I have played sports all of my life but always the "big girl" on the team. I needed some motivation so my work joined a weight loss challenge in January and I lost around 25 lbs. So for this new competition I started in at 195.

My goals:

• Get down to 175 by the end of the competition.
• Continue working out 5 + days a week.
• Eat better (1200-1500) calories a day.
• Get my family involved.

So good luck to all of you in the challenge!!!!

Progress on New Years Resolutions

Well we are in month 2 of the new year and I think we are doing great with our resolutions.

My Resolutions are:

1. Pay off debts.
2. Stick to my budget
3. Lose 50 lbs.
4. Be a better parent and wife
5. Read the entire Bible this year

So far this year since Jan 1
1. We have paid off 4 creditors.

• Lowes-40 monthly pymt
• Providian- 20 monthly pymt
• Newark Furniture-40 monthly pymt
• Citizens Bank-150 monthly pymt

So we have paid off $250 worth of monthly payments. We are doing the debt snowball so we are just adding that on to the next credit card. Only have a couple left to go then onto the big things like the cars and house.

2. Stick to the budget. Yes we are!!!

3. Lose 50 lbs, well I am on my way. I am down 17 since Jan 1.

4. Be a better parent and wife. I think I am doing better. I am trying to have much more patience with both my boys.

5. Read the entire Bible. This one I am lacking on. I have really got to find the time to do this more often.

Down 22 lbs! 15 since Jan 1

I still have a way to go but I am down a jean size in 1 month. I got a couple more to go!!!

Day 4

TUESDAY-DAY 3

Well today started out to be an interesting one. I was getting ready for work and Jonas was watching some Mickey Mouse. I walked in the other room for a second and within seconds I hear water. I was unsure of what it could be considering how Jo was in the living room, or so I thought. I get to the bathroom and there he was. JONAS. He is brushing his teeth. Oh it gets better, with my toothbrush…using the toilet as a sink. Dipping my toothbrush in the toilet to brush his teeth. What am I going to do with him? He is all boy and a huge mess. BUT I can’t help but love the kiddo. He keeps me on my toes, keeps me laughing, and keeps me insane. LOL!

Nate called today. He got sunburn already. He spent the majority of the day at the beach yesterday and he even went snorkeling. He misses his family but I just hope he enjoys himself because his time over there will be up before he knows it.

Well I started on my research paper. I am being a good girl and trying to get ahead. Nate would be proud.

Guess I need to go to bed, goodnight all!

Day 3

Well I always seem to be on here more when the hubby is gone. This is my place to go and let it all out. I hope you enjoy.

Things are going here. I am done being sad that Nate is gone because it does Jonas and I no good. I miss him so much. I find myself not doing homework because he isn’t here to get onto me about doing it, lol. Yesterday was not a great day, the weekends are the hardest.

I decided last week that I didn’t care about school. I was burned out. So I took a quiz and randomly guessed the 10 answers and let me just say that it was not a smart idea. Although the crappy weekend, I have found a little more enthusiasm this week in doing school work, mostly in part because finals are next week and I don't have a choice.

The TV is my new best friend. LOL. I swear I think I watched at least 3 hours tonight. It was nice catching up on all of my shows.

This is a very random post.

Oh, I read a new book this weekend and I feel inspired. It was called The Total Money Makeover. Any book to do with finances I love but this one caught my attention. I am on a mission while Nate is gone I’m going to get things paid off. I am really excited.

Jonas is good. He is going to be the death of me. He cracks me up and then makes me cry. He is so hard headed. Oh, and he has learned to bite. Fun stuff! He has also learned a new song he calls "Da Da Da" and he dances to it. It is so cute. He is my big boy. I can tell he is missing daddy and it sucks for the both of us. He gives daddy's picture sugars every night. The thing I hate most about Nathan being gone is Jonas hollering for him every morning and evening when we get home. He took me upstairs the other day. I was unsure what he was up to. We got to my room and he screamed, "Daddy". We would always wake daddy up and Nate would hide under the covers. Things like that are the hardest parts of my day.

I know I sound all depressed but I am not. I am just adjusting to what my life will be like for the next 4-6 months.

Unfortunately for you that read this you will be along for the ride.

Goodnight!

Nate

Well my hunny left yesterday. He is now in Guam and I am missing him. No fun!

NEW PICTURES

Hello

Well we have one more week until Nate leaves. I always hate the countdown. I found out that I should expect 6 months but it could be only 4ish. That would be awesome.
Things are going good here. We have officially moved back to our house in Sedalia. We passed our housing inpection on the 8th so we are done with that.
School is going pretty good. I hate economics!
Jonas is getting big. He got his first hair cut last weekend so no more curls. :( He looks so grown up now. He is going to be a big boy like his daddy. He is pretty tall already I think.
Work is going good for me. I am still loving it.
Well I think that covers everything. Take care!

Christmas and update

I have nevgot time to keep up to date with this thing. Things are going great here. We are moving back into our house. Our renters moved out over the weekend and as much as I love living on base money wise it would be best if we lived back in our house. I start back to school next week. I am starting at Park University on base and I can't wait. I started a new job. I still work for the hospital but I now work for the medical equipment company. I love it! I work 8-4:30 monday-friday. I finally have weekends and holidays off and I really don't know what to do with myself. We are counting down to Nate leaving. I am so not looking forward to it. I give him a hard time but I really will miss him and all his help (with Jonas that is) gosh knows you ain't picking up a broom anytime soon. AND JONAS...where do I begin? He is a royal mess but is a total blast at the same time. He is so smart. He can point and say eyes, nose, and mouth. He is talking up a storm. Oh and my favorite saying "Stop it". That is what he tells me when I get on to him. I am going to have to think of some different tactics for discipline. Well I am really going to try to get on here more and keep everyone a little more up to date. Take care!!

Update

WEll things are going well. I am still working and going to school. I graduate in a couple months with my AA degree then I move on to UCM to get my BA. Jonas is doing great. He is walking and jabbering. He is a blast! Nate is doing good. He is probably leaving us soon for a bit so we are a little bummed about that. Anyways, here are some new pics. Enjoy!

Update...

Well things are going better. We are not so stressed out over stuff anymore, which is great. I am working at the hospital in the admitting dept and LOVE IT!!!! I like the people I work with so that makes it even better. Jonas is getting big. He turned 9 months old on Sunday. He is up to 2 steps now and has 1 tooth. We don't have any animals at the moment. I have decided that I need to get a fish and be done with it. We have already been through 2 dogs. they keep disappearing on me. We recently got a car. It is so nice not to have to wait on Nate. I can just get in my car and go where I need to go. well I will post some new pics.
