A Lot to Take In

Well... progress has been made, but it's really hard not to be disappointed in the progress. I've lost 5.5lbs in 10 days. How can I complain about that?!? I still just don't feel it yet, I guess. Maybe the day I get to go buy new pants... I'm close to that line because I've actually rid myself of 20lbs since mid April. I'm very proud of myself for that. I just can't find the time or the $ to work out. I'm really really really frustrated about that... I start back to school August 30th and I'll have access to the gym on campus - then I get down on myself when I realize I'll only have time to use that gym once a week. UGH! There is NO time for ME. Look at this ridiculous schedule I'll have...
Monday: Substitute teach / homework for class on Tue
Tuesday: Class from 8-3:15 / Work at Central Market 4-8pm
Wednesday: Substitute Teach/Church with sound check @ 6 for the youth band and find time for homework for Thursday
Thursday: Class from 10-3:15 / Work at Central Market 4-8pm
Friday: Substitute teach in a town 45 minutes from home, but it is a special education school (I'm a special education major) / Try to get any homework done so I can actually, maybe have a weekend...
Saturday: WOW... nothing planned right now... WOW
Sunday: Church at 10:30 / Homework if necessary / Youth band practice around 6pm.

Now. I'm sorry if I just dumped on you guys. I guess I'm just frustrated A LOT right now with life. For those of you who don't know... My husband is epileptic, as we found out in September 2007. We had been married almost 3 years and our marriage had been pure bliss. I married my high school sweetheart and now I struggle on a daily basis just to sleep in the same room, much less the same bed as him. We've been living with his mom, sister and nephew since that time and he just started working 2 months ago, for the first time since we found out about his epilepsy... Money has been so so so tight we couldn't see straight for so long. I've been on a closing schedule at work for almost 4 months now... I work 2:30-11pm most days and I think that is contributing to my lack of weight loss... That will obviously change in the fall, but I'm overwhelmed with the fall schedule all the same, but it can't be helped...

Thank you for listening... Thank you for your support and encouragement.
