Time to get started again

It has been awhile since I have written anything, and there has been plenty to write about.  The first thing is the new name of the blog: "There's No Place Like Home". I am home - home to Iowa. Where the corn grows tall before the 4th of July. Where the trees blow in the wind. Where my roots and my heart has always been. It has been a whirlwind four months for us. Macer moved here at the end of February, I followed a week later and a month after me, Jay moved in. Life as we knew took a big left turn. Mace is the geothermal support for the state of Iowa for Carrier Corporation. It keeps him doing what he loves, but no pressure of sales to go with it. He is much more relaxed than what he was getting to be in Kansas. I have taken a job at a specialty doctor's office as a receptionist. At first I wasn't sure how I was going to like it, but I love what I am doing and the people I work with are wonderful. Jay moved over from Waterloo and is working as a manager at an upscale restaurant in West Des Moines. Life is good in this respect.  In my fitness life, not so much. I have had problems getting and staying motivated since I have left my wonderful support group in Kansas. I don't have someone talking to me daily and motivating me and I really do miss that. I am trying to motivate myself, but have not been doing a great job with it. I have not gained back any of the weight (so far) but I can tell in my body that I have regressed instead of progressed. That is the one reason why I decided I needed to blog again. Maybe putting down some things will help me get in gear again. Starting on Monday, I am going to get a week's pass to one of the YMCA's that is close to where I work. If it is as nice as what I think it is going to be, then I will begin my membership at the beginning of July. With it being close to the office, I can go either before or after work and do my exercising or join a class or two. The particular one I am looking at is also part of Mercy Hospital and is geared toward rehabilitation and adults than youth. That is a big part of why I like it. The people who use it are corporate workers who want to get in, work out and go home. I like that!! I know I need to set some small goals again to get back on track, so I have been thinking about what I want to accomplish and by when. I will use this blog to keep me on track and motivated. I thank you for reading this and for any encouragement you can offer.  Until next time!!
