I'm Free!!

Well, to make a long story short... I have been having a lot of drama and useless mind blowing stuff happening at work... I finally decided that ME, MY HEALTH and MY FAMILY are more important that a stupid job... so I quit.  Just walked away!  Wednesday was my last day and I can't tell you how FREE I feel!

Thursday morning and today I woke up, took the kids to school and went and walked for an hour just clearing my head and listening to some awesome music.  Yesterday (and so far today) I have been eating really healthy.... no snacking, no cheating, no slider foods.  

I feel like I'm back on track!  I feel FANTASTIC! Like a zillion pounds has been lifted off my shoulders!  Whoo Hoo!

Today I am dedicating several hours to our family budget... finding where to "cut the fat" so we can survive without my pay.  It will be tight and we'll be giving up a lot of luxuries like Cable, cell phones, etc.... but we'll still have eachother!

ur brave..good luck..i cant ever do that..i need my job too much

Wow Nicole!
That really is brave.  Good for you.  I wish I could do that.
Keep strong and best of luck, it's going to be hard adjusting to one income but you're right, you, your health and your family is most important.  AND, yes, you have each other :)

 You are so smart, even if times are challenging financially.  I actually did the exact same thing a few months ago.  I loved the work but......my sanity and well being were more important.  I feel bad for others who feel stuck in their jobs and don't have anything to fall back on.  I haven't always had this support either and certainly understand.  

I wish you well on whatever this new journey brings you.  And to the rest of us who are not working and needing to, and those who are and hate their jobs, maybe the best thing to do is set our intentions for a better place to be in - financially, emotionally, spiritually, etc.  

Wow Nicole, best of luck and have fun!

Congrats Nicole....one day a time and you can do this........you are important and your family too...they say.............Fail to plan.......you plan to fail...............you have planned and you will succeed.......................Lois       God wil honor you for this with his blessing to handle anything that comes your way.

I am so glad you could do this.  If I did such a thing I would lose everything including the kitchen sink.  Your dh must have a great job.

Aloha,

 Thanks for everyone's support.  Yes, Asia, my husband as an awesome job... unfortunately I have an awesome habbit of spending every cent!!  I've been good though... cut out a lot of expenses and am looking for more ways to trim the budget.  

I know we'll be fine, but you know, when it rains it pours.  Yesterday we went to the beach and someone hit my truck while it was parked... no note left, so I guess that's for me to pay for hu?  

Our DVD player broke last night so I guess I can cancel the Netflix membership now (haha).

I'm going to Hilo tomorrow to see Dr. Fowler, so at least I have that to look forward to!  Maybe he'll give me a fill and the weight will start dropping again.  God knows I'm eating next to nothing and exercising for an hour a day!  Sigh!

Have a good day everyone!

Nicole,
Thanks for your posting. God must have been whispering in your ear.  I have finally discovered that I am a work addict.  I have not been losing any weight for about 3+ weeks and my exercise has suffered.   I love work and don;t even realize how much I let it take over my whole life.  I have decided to cut back my hours this summer and spend more time on me.  I am also going through my budget and seeing where I can cut to live and work less.  I will share any tips I find.  Good luck to you and thanks for your post.   Sara

Good luck.  You will find something else that will work better for you.  Keep us posted.
