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!

A picture perfect weekend...

My weekend truly was picture perfect… I was in a very good mood and
felt really good (which is a BIG bonus).

Friday I took the afternoon off and got my groceries done, then watched
some TV and had a session with Lee. Tara picked up my sweater that I
ordered online and I went to get it from her. At first I was like uhhh
this is going to be way to snug – but I tried it on and it fits great!
It is SO comfortable, I love the feel of the elastic sleeves.
 



Saturday I went to my WW meeting, which was all about positive self
talk. It was a really good meeting and one that I needed to hear. I am
always so hard on myself and have been really down, but I have been
making positive choices and this weekend I paid closer attention to the
positive things then the negative things. After the meeting I went to
Sean's parents house where we spent the day (Sean was already there). I
cleaned my car inside, took all the mats out vacuumed and scrubbed - and
it looks like new!

My sister was there having her summer tires put on so we hung out for
quite a bit. When got lunch, came back to Sean's parents and laid on
their big wooden swing for at least 2 hours in the warm warm sun. Then
when she left I laid there for another 30 minutes. Went in, did some
laundry, made BBQ dinner, then we all watched a movie (I did my nails
during it). We stayed over at their place and it was just an all around
great day. I was totally planning on writing an entry but was so in love
with just relaxing I put it off until today.

Sunday I turned off my alarm by accident and slept - when I got up it
was too late to go to church so we just laid around and watched TV and
basked in the sun. Then I went to a spray n' wash and did the outside of
my car and my rims (I also got my summer tires on). I took Levi to get
his nails cuts and then went home and worked on my taxes. I started them
at 2 and did not finish until 9. My parents came over for dinner and my
dad helped me out near the end. I wanted to go to bed early but I am
just SO happy they are all done! I am going to take them in after work
today. What a big weight off my shoulders.

A quick note...

This week at work there were not many people there since it's March Break. I got SO much done this week. I finished a big project in the back room involving files and filing and I got lots of little paper cuts and staple injuries but I am so glad it's done. Filing is one of my most hated tasks (but it's part of my job) so doing it for a few days straight totally took a lot out of me.

Last night we ended up grabbing subway for dinner and then we had an appointment. After that we ended up stopping to say hi to our friends Ian and Frances. We were honestly just going to say hi for a minute but ended up being one of those awful people that just show up unannounced and stayed for at least an hour and a half. We laughed so hard that my cheeks hurt and it was really good to catch up with them.

Today I took the afternoon off work and got all of my grocery shopping done and got caught up on a few TV shows from this week before heading to the track for my session.
