Alive

Ok, folks. Just wanted to post something so you know I'm alive. I know I haven't posted and there's a ton to talk about, but unfortunately none of it is in the weight loss arena. I'm in the 'just don't lose as much ground as possible' stage - straightening out a lot of issues of my life and the weight loss thing is on the back burner. I'm trying to not eat as bad as I have been lately, so I'm trying to lure that back in. I'm doing OK - I can do better but it's ok for now.

Also, work is absolutely killing me. So many long nights, weekends, you name it. But I'm surviving. I'm ok - I'm loving what I'm doing and in a crazy way, it's something I was meant to do. But it's absolutely crazy.

I'm living in a new place, I'm meeting new people, I'm learning new things through the school, and my daily schedule is completely opposite of what it used to be - it's so unorganized, and the next day is nothing like the day before it. I love it though, but as time goes on with all these changes I'm trying to create a routine - that's what saved me last time, knowing that I'm going to work at a certain time, school at a certain time, the gym at a certain time, eating at certain times - but now, it's a matter of getting through each day.

I did buy myself a lunch box and an icebox thing and am going to start making my lunches every day. It's so much cheaper, and so much better. Regulate the things you can, right?

Things are good - they're not IDEAL, but they're great for where I am in my life right now. We are going through the divorce process and Erin has been really good about it. We've done what we've had to do to make this as decent and as respectful as possible. We didn't work at a married couple, but I can tell you that through this process she's a great person and will make a great girlfriend/wife for someone else down the road.

Ok, no more time for now, gotta run. Just wanted to let you guys know I haven't fallen off the side of the earth. I used to spend 12-14 hours a day on a computer, and now if I see one every few days it's a gift. Catch you soon - leave me lots of comments so I know you haven't forgotten who I am ;)

Rob,

Glad your still alive and kicking. Looking forward to when you can get back and be involved more often. Sounds like life is really crazy for you right now. Just dont forget to take care of yourself. You know you will be back in fitness mode sooner or later so do yourself a favor and limit the damage. Take Care, we miss you.

Glad to hear that you're doing ok. I don't get to check blogs like I used to either now that I'm back to going to school full time so I feel you on the time thing. I'm glad to hear that you and Erin are getting through things ok as well, because I can't imagine how tough this must all be. I understand the tendency to put the weight loss on the backburner right now, but don't let things get too far because you've worked to hard to let that happen. Call me if there's anything you need that I can provide Tuck. You've got the number.

Thanks for the update kiddo! I think it will be a good idea for you to bring your lunch every day. Maybe you can focus on packing a healthy, nutritional meal and you could also pack some snacks for you late nights. You'll get back on track. Like you said, it's setting up a routine!

Sounds as if everything is pretty crazy but you are making some good strides in your life. You know we are always here for you and if you need to get out and hang you know where to find me!

Thanks for this blog idea, it is helping me get my thoughts down.

Love ya!!

Glad to see you're doing okay, even with everything that's going on with you. I can totally empathize with the upside-down-where's-my-routine feelings!

Rob, I'm so sorry to hear about your divorce. I had been wondering about you, I hadn't checked in with any of you guys in a long time.

Take care of yourself!
