Time to Find a Balance!

So I have been slacking on the blogs for a while due to my hectic schedule.
I have finally got out of training at my job and have started a late afternoon/early evening shift. This is going to take some getting used to. Now I am the one getting up with the kids (which I love) but it will be hard getting time with the hubby.
When I get off work he is in bed, and when I wake up he is already gone to work.
Time with him is very important so I think it's time to evaluate how I balance things.
I am very thankful I get time with my kids, but is the shift I work worth the time away from the hubby?
This is going to be something I must think about long and hard.
Why is it so hard to get a job with the perfect fit? I like the work I do but this schedule may get the best of me. Is it me, or the Army that is throwing us loops in spending time together?
On another note, I am currently doing a "jeans challenge" with one of my best friends. I have decided that I must change the way I feel about myself, and that means it is time to lose weight. I am doing this the safe way by watching my numbers as far as carbs, fat, and protein go. Its been a rough couple of weeks but I think I am getting used to the way I need to eat to be healthy.
I went to Red Robin the other day to treat myself, and lets just say, my tummy is still hurting!!
So far I have lost 7.4 pounds, and I will definitely keep you all up to date on my progress!!
I guess that is all for now, hopefully it won't be too long before my next blog.
Until next time,
