Guess it’s time to resurrect my blog! This year is flying by so fast, and January was crazy busy. I have tons of schoolwork already, as we started our field placements sooner than we did last semester. This means less time to get things done. I also found out in January that I am pregnant! I will be 7 weeks along Friday. I’m super excited, but at the same time, nervous. Every day closer to getting out of the first trimester reduces the worry though. I’ve already had one prenatal appointment, and got to see the little bean and its heartbeat!! <3 <3

Other than that, I haven’t been doing much. I’m trying to get back into writing so I can earn some money to spend on the baby. It’s a slow process because all the morning sickness is making me want to do absolutely nothing but lay around, as is the fatigue. I hope it gets better soon, cause I’m tired of nibbling on crackers!

I am not exactly keeping up my resolution to blog more, but until today, I really haven’t had anything to say!

Yesterday was my first day back to school. Things went okay, and I think I’ll like my Thursday classes and professors. We did get to leave an hour and a half early due to the snow that started around noon. I was a bit scared driving home, as that was my first time driving in snow. I made it home fine though, and spent the rest of the night hanging out with James and our friend Austin. He ended up getting snowed in here (more like iced in actually, because a lot of roads between here and his house were ‘inadvisable’ to drive on a few hours after dark.

Weight loss is still going good. I opened a blog to supplement my progress and journey with The Curvy Girls, but I have really slacked on updating it. I just can’t get into having more than one blog anymore. Therefore, I am just going to post a weekly update each Friday regarding my weight loss here. I’m thinking about also posting recipes, tips, and other weight loss/healthy living information. To bring everyone up-to-date on my progress, my official start date for this venture was December 18th. I do my videos on Fridays, and my first video went live on this date. I weighed in at 224lbs. As of today, I am down to 220.2. Not a huge loss during the past 3 weeks, but I’m looking for slow and steady so that I can really change my life and keep the weight off once I reach my goal. Plus, 2lbs were lost during the holidays, so that is an accomplishment all in itself!!

I am hopeful that 2010 will be better than 2009. Not that last year was that bad, but it definitely wasn’t one of my favorite years. I plan to work toward making this year better though! The first 3 days of it have been rather boring, as I haven’t really done anything. We didn’t go out for New Year’s…I actually haven’t left the house since last Wednesday. I don’t think I’ve went this long at home in a while. Staying in hasn’t bothered me one bit though, especially since I realized that once school starts back on Thursday, I won’t get a break this long from it until mid-July!

Speaking of school, I am hoping my student loan balance is freed up by tomorrow so that I can go get the books I need. I have more than enough money left over after tuition is paid, I just have to wait for them to release it so I can charge the books. It sucks that I can’t physically have the money sooner, so that I could get the books elsewhere at a better price. They won’t make the money available for withdrawal until the second week of classes though, and I like to have by books before the first day. We’ll see how that works out I guess!
