Been a While

Yes, I truly have not found my blogging groove again, as is evident from my long absence from posting LOL.

Last time I posted was with the good news of hubby finding a job, and he was to be going between here and Ontario for 6 weeks for training. Well, that changed to 4 weeks, but then was bumped up again to 5 weeks….which is over today!! Yayyyy! He will fly back home tonight and next week he starts working here in Calgary finally. I’m sooo happy! I can’t even begin to tell you how good it feels again to see his cheque go into our account and for 2 weeks of work it is what he go in an entire month for unemployment. To be able to go shopping and buy real food and not just whatever crap is cheapest is sure nice too!

So, I mentioned before that I had taken up entering contests. I’ve been doing that for a couple of months now and have a few wins, only one bigger win so far though. So far my wins are: iPod Nano 8GB(oh I so love it!!), The 39 Clues book for my boys, $35 to be used towards a night of bowling, Master of the Game DVD and some sort of food book, I haven’t received it yet so not exactly sure what it is. Oh, I won passes to see The Hangover, we really weren’t interested in seeing it though. Strange thing is that it did so well in the theatres, to us it looked really dumb from the commercials and we even tried to find someone to give the passes to, we couldn’t find anyone interested in seeing it.

Well, we’ll see if I can slowly work my way back into blogging…no promises though LOL. Oh! Some more good news! In the past week or two I have lost 7 lbs!! I wasn’t even trying to! I have tried so hard to lose weight so many times and not lost a single pound, and now all of a sudden I drop 7 without trying!? I have found though since hubby has been away so much I have not been very hungry, so even though I never really ate that much for size in the first place, I’ve been eating even less. Question now though is whether or not I can keep that 7lbs off and lose more now that he will be back LOL. He says he really wants to focus on losing some weight, he’s put weight on because for the past 5 weeks he has had to eat restaurant food in his hotel, so it has not been great for him. So hopefully we can both lose some more weight, I’m sure the reduction of stress now that he’s working again will help a lot!
