Jobs. I know this is a hot topic in America these days and unfortunatly the nasty job monster came knocking at my door this week. Two other interpreters and myself will no longer have jobs after school is out in May. We thought there was a possibility that we would all be able to stay next year but the answer is no. So three of us will be out of jobs. Sad day. I thought it was a possibility but it still stinks. Hoping I will be able to find a new full time position so I can still have insurance. (And no I don't want to go there and talk about the new health care stuff with Mr. Prez.) Stink.
Spring weather. It's finally coming. Who cares if it snowed this past weekend about seven inches. It's almost all melted. Yesterday it was 62 degrees out. BEAUTIFUL! Ryan and I went walking/running last night. Can I tell you how amazing it was to be outside?! Today is kind of rainy out but still warm! :D Yay for not needing a coat this morning.
Travel. Last weekend we had the opportunity to go visit my brother and sister in law and sweet baby Lydia in St. Peters. It was so so soooooooooo nice. I have missed them more than you can imagine. Anthony, Tarin, Ryan and I are besssssssst friends. It has been extremely hard living away from them. We really enjoyed out time together and although short it was still fabulous to all be together again. AND to see precious baby girl. Oh she is so precious. I love that little girl to the moon and back. I am so excited to see her grow up and become a strong woman of God. I know she will be amazing!
This next weekend we will be at my Mother in Laws for the weekend. This next weekend marks one year since my father in laws passing. We're going to go be with her and provide a little comfort in the storm. It's hard to believe it's already been a year. It certainly doesn't seem like it. Somedays I still can't believe he's gone.
Weight loss. I can't believe I didn't blog about this yet!!! The beginning of January I was officially diagnosed with PCOS and my doc put me on meds for that and really stressed the need for me to loose weight. I have tried really hard before with no sucess. There was a point in time where I was walking/running six miles a day and continued that regimine for about a month and I lost ZERO pounds. I got very discouraged and gave up. Then I met my new doctor and he has high hopes. SO I started the new meds and had my follow up appointment the beginning of March. At that appointment we found out that I had lost a total of....(drum roll please) 26lbs!!!! WAHOOOOOOO!!! The biggest thing I did was COMPLETELY stop eating/drinking sweets. I've only had natural occuring sugars ie. fruits and SMALL bits of juice. So As of today I have not eaten any sweets, junk food, or drank anything besides water, milk and lemonade in over two months! WAHOO! So then I had that appointment at the beginning of March and he told me I need to loose about 50 more pounds and I have til about the middle of June. So far as of this past weekend I had lost seven more. I am sure it's a little more because that was on saturday and I've worked out a lot since then. In fact last night I ran half a mile!!! WAHOO!!! I am proud of myself and can tell you it's only through God's grace that it has worked out! I pray so hard everyday for strength to eat right and energy to exercise. He is soo good to me!!!
I hope your day is amazing. Bask in HIS amazing-ness!
In HIS name,
Stephanie Rachelle
