Where have I been?

Well, I don't know how many people check back here, but it seems the honeymoon has worn off on me & my blogging.

Things have been going pretty good. Hectic really. I've been trying to get a much better grip on my organizational skills. At work we are now required to take an hour lunch break so I've been putting the time to use by getting caught up on things that are suffering at home--like balancing the checkbooks, my recipe book, and being able to actually run some errands that I usually have to wait to do after work. So far, I think I'm making better progress. This time of year my nights have been busy trying to get homemade Christmas presents done and mailed before Christmas. (What a novel idea, huh?) I'm also looking into starting with a personal trainer for about 3 months. I just can't seem to get to where I want to be and I've about reached the point I did when I made the decision to start LA Weight Loss. It's really starting to get frustrating again! I get within 10 lbs. to lose and just keeping losing the same 3 lbs. over and over again. Maybe a trainer is what I need to shake me up a bit. Guess we'll see what happens.

Josh has been swimming his little heart out. We've been to two meets since I last wrote. The first meet he got disqualified in one of his events cause his goggles came off when he dove in and he had to swim blind. He didn't make it to the end of the pool and got turned around and ran into the lane line and had to stop to see where he was. His other 3 events went well, though. Yesterday there was a "mini-meet" with the team in Orem. He swam the 50 breast and 50 freestyle. He was able to knock 2 seconds off both events! He's getting SO close to having some state cuts! Because he's going to be 13 when the state meet comes around, he's had to push himself a little harder because the times are faster. He's also going to have to start swimming longer distances because they only have 2 events that are 50 yard events. The meet this Sat. he's going to swim a 200 freestyle for the first time. I'm so excited that he's still doing so well and still loving it!

Guess I better get to work and get something done. I promise to do more posting!

Good to see your back in business! You know I love your positive outlook on your hour lunch, sometimes it can seem like a waste to have that much time for lunch. I love your approach.
