Determined

Another weekend gone in the blink of an eye!  I got some sweaty yard done Saturday afternoon, then later we had a fun family night out.  Sunday was a much-needed relax day.

Before Sunday was even half over, I heard one of the kids asking their dad how long it would be before they are back here with us.  I hate how rough all of this is on the kids, and I hate even more that it doesn’t need to be this way.  Not at all.  The only reason it’s so hard on the kids is because other people deliberately and willingly choose to make it that way, and I will never understand that.  Seriously, why bother having kids if you are just going to selfishly force their lives to revolve your pathetic existence?   That’s not parenting.  That’s being a worthless piece of trash.

Parents are the compass that guide us - 2016
Good question…some people should be ashamed of the answer.

Anyway…(*sigh*)…moving on…

The first phase of the T.K.O. Challenge is done, and I updated my stats on the challenge tab of my blog.  I met my goal for the first 3 weeks, and now I have set my 10-pound goal for the next five-week round, which ends October 13.

My weigh-in this past weekend was a good one: 3 more pounds gone!  I’m excited but cautiously remind myself not to get over-confident.  I have a long way to go, and keeping up my momentum and dedication over the long haul is going to be difficult.  I’m determined not to let myself, or my husband or our kids, down this time though.

  1. You are doing so well. It is so motivating when you see the hard work paying off. Enjoy this progress as you continue to lose. I am currently holding my own but really would love to see scale move down. I guess I just have to try harder.

  2. Great job in the weight!!!!

    I don’t understand parents like that! It’s a shame what people do to their kids!!! At least your stepkids have some semblance of normalacy with you and your husband!!!!

    1. I can’t even imagine how confusing and disheartening it is for them to ricochet between two completely different households. Seeing them bear the scars for others’ poor decision-making is sickening.
