My ADHD Life

I'm not gonna lie.  I get a little distracted.  I have about 300 things that I feel like I have to do and instead of finishing one thing and THEN moving on to the next thing, I tend to start one thing and then in the back of my mind the next thing is haunting me so much that I have to do a little bit on that.  Then I feel a little better and I go back to whatever else I was working on.  The result of this is that I NEVER FINISH ANYTHING!!!  I'm always doing 2 or 3 things at a time but I feel like its a compulsion and I can't stop.  Ok...  before you diagnose me I already know that I'm out of my mind.  I just don't want to forget anything and I want to get everything done as soon as possible.  Am I the only one who does this?  I'm hoping that I can get a little more organized with the new business and everything else that I'm doing.  Right now here is my list of endeavors:  Fitness center, part time at clinic for the doctor, Relay for Life Event Coordinator, Wednesday night church bible study teacher and teacher for pre-k/K, support group leader, Monday night bible study, & mom of 4.  Ok.  I know that most of you have tons of things to do, so do we all feel overwhelmed or is it just me?  I'ts not that I can't say no, well maybe it is but sometimes I'm just obligated before I'm asked so I don't even get to say no.  Oh well, here is the verse that keeps coming up for me this week and through my bible study:  "Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of various kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance."  Endurance is exactly what I need right now. :)

Fitness Center? What?

Ok, so I am now managing the fitness center that my parents just bought and along with my husband we are going to try to make it successful.  The biggest problem with that is that I'm not in shape, AT ALL!  I'm the opposite of in shape.  That could be a good or bad thing in getting new people to sign up.  If I lose weight and get in shape then it will be an encouragement for others.  If I don't then everyone will think that it doesn't work.  Can we say pressure?  I've never really had any pressure to get fit before.  Hopefully it will work because I need it so much!  This opportunity has been a real blessing though.  I get to work with my husband, my parents and I get to bring my kids to work.  We will see how that goes but for now its a great thing. :)  So, I'm going to call this day 1 of GET SAM IN SHAPE.  I will not tell you how much I weigh but I will say that I need to lose about 50 pounds to be at my goal weight.  As of today, I've lost none. :(  It may be a slow train but it's about to get rolling.  If you need to lose weight too then join me!!  I need the encouragement so feel free to send it along.  I'm going to try to eat better too so that will be hard for me as well.  Let's just see how this goes!!!
