A.D.D. will be the death of me

Ughh...so it has been QUITE some time since I have posted on my blog and I am super unexcited about that. I did however start on an adventure to start getting us eating healthy and on a budget. We canceled our Time Warner Cable because they raised the price on us AGAIN. So fair well cable, and hello to much needed quiet time to reflect and actually get some stuff done around the house :) I will miss my shows, but my husband pointed out that I can watch them online.
But getting back to the eating healthy part :) I have been working away at a weekly meal planner which has everything planned out to the "T" on what we will be eating for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Joe's snack before school on Monday's and Wednesday's. I am getting ready to go to Aldi's because unlike save-a-lot, Aldi's has a whole line of healthy foods called Fit-N-Active. I went a few weeks ago with my Mother in law and I was able to get a lot of nice healthy snacks and things for our lunches at a really cheap price. And they are good for us. So I will be shopping at Aldi's, atleast until Save-A-Lot comes out with a similar health conscience brand. :)
I also am going to be using my crock pot for 4 out of the 5 meals that I am going to cook this week so we shall see how that works out, hopefully that will cut back on my prep time after work, and we can eat earlier and even go on an evening stroll with Mr. Cooper.

The weekend starts @ 4 :)

This is week has been pretty brutal. But I did get my acceptance letter to Stark State in the mail, which is rather exciting! I am hoping to start classes toward my Early Childhood Education Associate degree this fall! :) If I can get my CDA before June I will start June 1st, but I am thinking that I am really realistically looking to start in August, the Monday after we comeback from Myrtle Beach! Which works out perfectly!
I am going to pull out the WiiFit this weekend...it hasn't been used since we moved to our new house...so that's what...9 months...lol. oh well. Better late then never. And now that Aunt Flow is slowly but surely leaving after kicking my butt for a personal record of 14 days and counting. I haven't been able to use my treadmill and it is making me super sad, so to make up for it I am going to do both this weekend! YEA!!! Let's hope that by May I will be comfortable and tan enough to have fun in Vegas lounging by the pool, and maybe ready for a bikini in August.....we will see. lol.

Thing 1 and Thing 2

• Welllllll.....Thing 1 is that I FINALLY went to the Doctor on February 8th! I started taking my medication and presto chango....Aunt Flow FINALLY came. She landed on February 22nd, and has decided that she would like to stay with me because she is STILL here! 12 days and counting! And the problem with that is...I am supposed to take my medicine on March 8th again so that I can have her revisit...but if she NEVER leaves...how can she come. lol. But it is a blessing to actually be able to have her here, since I haven't seen her in 2 years.

• Thing 2 is that I am in the Vacation mode!!!! We are going to Vegas for a week in May, May 8th-15th to be exact :) I am not so excited about this one as I am with the next 2 vacays that I have planned. In July, Brandi and her sister Heather, and I will be embarking on a road trip to Virginia Beach! YEAA!!! We are only going to stay for 5 days and 4 nights, but I have a feeling that we will have a BLAST! THEN!!! a few weeks later in August we are going on a HUGE family vacation! And by huge I mean that there is going to be approximately 18 people going down to Myrtle Beach with us!!!! AMAZING! My parents haven't been to the beach in forever and I am so excited that they are going to be able to go. And I am sooooo hoping that I will be pregnant as in May we are going to be going to the doctor right before Vegas and really trying to make this work! :) So ideally we would be pregnant starting in May or June and then we would have our little bundle of joy in February or March of next year! lol...and their won't be a May or June baby to match all of our families birthdays lol. So wish us luck and keep us in your prayers!
  

The pursuit of unemployment...lol

Well, I have always held a job ever since May of 2002. I have worked either numerous part-time jobs and babysat, or worked a full-time job and babysat. When it comes down to it, I would much rather be babysitting then working 2 or 3 part-time jobs or 1 full-time job to be exact. I know that my ultimate dream is to have my own daycare, but that isn't going to happen anytime soon, so maybe for the time being I can just babysit. I would love to babysit enough to quit my job, wouldn't that be stellar? Now if I can only get my husband on board to let me quit and babysit then we will be in business! lol :)

Weightloss planning

Okay...well I have lost a total of 6 pounds so far, which is great, but a little disheartening :( I was hoping to lose closer to 8 lbs per month but I can always make up for lost time I guess. I am going to start working out every morning and try to work out twice a day on the weekends...we will see how this works lol. The medication I am on makes me sooo tired, but I if I can go to bed at a decent hour and wake up at 6am for a quick workout before work I think it will work! So wish me luck and I will keep you posted on how much the workouts help my weight loss!

yea yea yea....

So much for posting everyday...lol I really do have good intentions when I set out to start a blogging adventure :) But maybe I need to take into account that I do have ADD and that I am prone to starting tasks and never (well, we won't say never :) ) finishing them. So I have been browsing through many different blogs about scrap booking and it has really gotten me excited to get into blogging. I have a lot of pages that I have completed and I really like to share ideas with my friends so this would be something that I am interested in and that I can connect with many different people from all over! :)

Haircut :)

Hello :)
I got a hair cut yesterday and I loooovve it. It is shoulder length and a million times healthier. Now I am going to try to grow it out so that I can get it back to my natural hair color...we'll see how that goes.
I am heading back to work tomorrow after a 5-day break, say it ain't so. :( I would much rather stay inside where it is warm and cozy with my Cooper and Darth Vader snuggling up to me. I know with this being the first week of the semester that I will be crazy busy with getting everything ready for the 60 nursing students that are starting their LPN or RN journey. Which entails printing syllabi, passing out a million and one books, and making sure that we have their schedules correct. So I am hoping that I will be able to blog some of my progress with my working out. If I am not exhausted from work.

My 1st blog....Evvveerrrr :)

Okay, so the time is.... (late) and I am starting a new year's resolution of blogging. Which for me is rather odd because I can't even remember to take medication or eat breakfast daily let alone sit down and write down events in my life. But I think that being able to write things down and have them for the world (or some unfortunate soul who happens upon my blog) to see and it gives me a sense that I am not alone and if I make a promise to do something that it needs to be done, or the internet Gods will delete my beloved Facebook or worse kill all of my Fish in Fishville :(. So today starts a day in which I hope to type the "Mobley Moments" that I deem necessary for the world to see. :) To start things out I wanted to introduce myself, My name is Jessica Renee Mobley and I am 24 years of age. I live in Akron, Ohio (Springfield/Lakemore area) with my husband Joe, Boston Terrier Cooper, and cat Darth Vadar. (otherwise known as Mow-Mow) We just moved into a beautiful house in late July of 2009 and we are working on renovating and making it our own. My husband Joe and I met at Manchester High school and started dating August 3, 2002 and were married August 8, 2008. One of the main reasons that I am starting this blog is so that I can have my own motivation to have accountability for things that I have been putting off in the past few years. In 2006, I was diagnosed with Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, which causes many horrible symptoms that I will not go into detail about. But the two main symptoms that are worrying me is the fact that my husband and I have been unable to conceive, and that I have gained approximately 100 pounds in the last 3 1/2 years. I have become so defeated by this disease that I think that 2010 is the year for me to jump start my efforts, lose this weight, and start the family that I know that we deserve. My wonderful husband is very supportive and knows that I can do this. He purchased a treadmill for Christmas and I am hoping to make sure that I use it enough that he might have to buy me a new one for next Christmas lol. So far I have used it twice for an hour each time. I am not up to running yet, but I am quite happy with just walking and watching my TV shows on my laptop. :) I am planning on getting my hair cut, and dyed tomorrow, and getting a tanning package. Maybe with a little self-confidence I can make sure to get rid of this weight and get back to the doctor's to conceive our first child!!! :) Wish me luck with my haircut and I will be back in a Mobley Moment. lol.
