Things are looking up!

I could sit here and title each of my posts with a day count, but, I think that might be getting a little bit mundane when I'm not posting every single day...so I'm going to try to mix it up a little bit (plus, I've lost count, lol...I could figure it out of course, but, eh).

I got a promotion at work that nets me some more money every month...that's always an exciting thing!  Money has been a tough thing as of late, what with the various medical expenses for the animals.  I have always enjoyed Dave Ramsey's methods, so that's what I'm working on right now.  Some extra money every month will help me reach my goals faster!

Every time I'd get to a point where I felt like I was finally on track and getting somewhere, something would happen (I'd lose my job, someone would get really sick, something would break at the house, etc.)...sending me into a tailspin and then I'd have to start all over.  I love my job, and this promotion makes me love my job even more - I'm hoping that this time around, once I start to get somewhere, I'll be able to keep on going!

I won't lie - the past couple of days I've been on a binge trip with junk food.  I feel like crap...not only from guilt either...the things I've eaten literally make my body ache.  I just can't do that anymore.  I went to the store today and picked up some good food.  No Super Bowl junk food for me!

Another goal is to drink more water.  I know that I really don't drink enough of ANY liquid in a day.  Some days go by and I hardly have anything to drink...I need to be more mindful of that and do my best to get that water into my body.

Workouts have been few and far between, unfortunately.  I need to start forcing myself to at least do a few things every morning before work.  At the very least, that will get me up and moving around in the morning, which can be tough for me during the winter with my lupus.
