Mamavation Monday Week #5

Still no change, sitting at 139.5 lb, so I didn't take a picture of it, I thought to spare everyone to look at my socks lol

I'm a bit worried on how I'm going to keep up with this resolution. With the move coming, I know there will be days that I will forget to eat and days that I will over eat. But I guess I will get plenty of exercise moving boxes around, right???

That's what I keep telling my self anyway!

This week sponsor is Earth Footwear

And this week question is: What does “wellness” mean to you?

Well (lol), for me wellness is very spiritual, come from the inside, from your soul and you feel it when everything is in balance in your life, your weight as well!
I hope to get to my "wellness" status pretty soon after the move is over.


A little edit: A nice member of the mamavation sistahood, let me noticed that even tho my weight didn't change, I could have shredded some inches off my body.
This is a duh moment for me, since I didn't think to take my measurements when I started, so I'm doing it now:
Waist: 32" (how did this happened???? ah, right, KIDS)
Hips: 42.5" (I thought I was running out of measuring tape!!!!)
Bust: 36.5" (Can we switch hips with bust???)
Thigh: 23" (oy vey!)

Time to change!

Yesterday was a shocking and interesting day.
I went to pick up the mail and found a note from my landlord saying that he needs the house back and we have 60 days to move out.

My first reaction was a mix between panic, shock and anger and I still feel that way I must admit.
I cried my eyes out thinking how in the hell we are supposed to do that, but I guess there are worse things in the world right??

I've been unhappy with the place I live for a while and many times temped to dump it and find better, but never had the monetary disposition to do it.

Now it doesn't matter, money or not, we'll have to find another place to live until the next landlord decide we have too move at a very bad time.
This is how the world roll, the people with money have the power. The people that have to work their butts off to pay all the bills in time, are nothing in the eyes of the world, just few anonymous faces to fuck over at the first opportunity.

We are going to be all right, I try to repeat it to myself and deep inside I know it, but the next 2 months will be a living hell.....oh wait! We have been leaving in hell for the last 5 years, never mind then.

Tomorrow we'll start the hunt for a new place that will not cost an arm and a leg: we already scoured the newspaper ads and seems that we'll have to settle for something much smaller for the same price we are currently renting, which in my opinion sucks. I love the space, you know?

I will have to go and ask about my business license, since I work from home, changing the address will be like changing job: chances are that I will have to start all the paperwork all over and aside for time (that really I don't have to waste), I really don't see myself spending another $180 to keep up with a business that gives me a profit of $20/month. Doesn't make any sense. So, I'm still unsure what's going to happen there. I will probably have to close down for a while, probably for the rest of the year? We'll see.

I apologize for this post being so gloomy, I plan from tomorrow to only look at the bright side, but for today just let me worry about it.
