About Me

My photo
I started my weight loss journey at 19 years old weighing 274 pounds, wearing a Size 22-24. I lost 115 pounds over two years, and was wearing a size 8! I got married, let my determination fall and I slowly gained 50 pounds of that back. Then I got pregnant and added another 55 pounds onto what I had lost. I am down 35 pounds so far and 70 pounds away from my goal. Join me on this life long journey!

My birthday weekend

It's already Sunday night, and that means back to work on tomorrow...

Friday night I did not have a good night. I didn't eat the lunch I brought to work and didn't want to spend the money to buy one, so I ate my snacks instead. Right after work I went to my training session, and since I got there early I was put on the step master for 15 minutes - which totally made my legs burned before we even started our hour long session. After the session I had to go grocery shopping and since I also needed a rubbermaid bin for Levi's food I decided just to get groceries at Wal-Mart. But since I don't usually do groceries at Wal-Mart and since I was trying to compare all of the prices, it took a really long time.

After that I headed to Remark to get all of my fruits/veggies, and a treat. By the time I got home and made dinner it was 8:30 and I was starving (since I hadn't really eatten much since breakfast). Not to mention I was in a really bad mood.

Saturday there was a women's breakfast at the church and I had to go early to set up. Everything went really well and there was TONS of good food to eat. I was very proud of myself because I took small amounts of everything, and then if I took a bite of something and didn't love it, I didn't finish it. But I did go back up for another cinnamon bun because they were oh so good. Usually I would have eatten everything on my plate because I took it. But by only eatting what I really liked and wanted, I felt much more satisfied.

Because I had the second cinnamon bun and was pretty full still, I did not eat lunch. I did a few loads of laundry in the afternoon and then Sean and I went out to celebrate my birthday. We went to Subway (my choice) and my sub was amazing. I ate really slow and actually enjoyed it. We were going to go see a movie but I had an awful headache and really just wanted to go to bed. So instead we went to Metro, bought some popcorn, then went to my parents place to borrow a movie, and just went home and watched a movie in bed. It had been a long day and my headache would not go away so sitting in a theatre for a few hours just did not seem like a good time.

Tonight I had my family birthday at my parents place. I made my own dough and we had panzerotti. My mom bought lots of goodies to put in them and I was very excited.

I forgot to take a picture before we started eatting - so here is half of Tara's:



And mine: 



Afterwards we opened presents and played Balderdash. I was laughing pretty hard at some of our answers - always funny with you have a creative family! For gifts tonight I got - a labeller from Sean, a date night gift basket from Tara, and my parents gave me a re-gift that I gave them for Christmas (how original). Now let me just state for the record: I cleaned out my closet just before Christmas and put it in a gift bag and gave it to my dad for Christmas...used soap, candles that had been on my table for a year, a shower curtain, coconut body lotion ect. So, being funny...they gave it back to me for my birthday.

Just wait until they see that I put the bag in their shed as I was leaving haha - jokes on them. But the gift that they actually got me was a sweater that I wanted. We ordered it online and my dad is going to pick it up sometime this week (we had it shipped to the US because the shipping was much cheaper). So in the meantime my mom made some money into a sweater for me.




Then the best part happened...dessert. We had cupcakes (courtsey of Tara) from Razzle Dazzle and they were sooo yummy. Mine was blueberry and worth every bite!





So my birthday is over for another yet - but this year is going to be fun with my list of things I want to accomplish and then next year the big 2-5.
