Hard to believe it's only been about two weeks since I turned 28.
I've felt so good and credit the portion control and Nazi Calorie Regime. Yes, I do mean regime, not regimen. Because ruling the caloric intake is absolutely necessary. Dominating and conquering make the list as well, but we all know a dictatorship is most successful when brought in teensy amounts and a year down the road, naughty calories will look up and wonder where all their control went to. Mwauh-ha-ha-ha.
Scale says: 185.5 (that means only 67 pounds to go by next Christmas)
Motivation level: 10 out of 10
Happiness level: 10 out of 10
I'm dead set on never being that miserable, crazy, raving lunatic I was on my birthday. It was not pretty at all. So I'm moving on and getting on with life :).
Whether I am technically obese or not, I can still be happy. And while this extra weight definitely takes it's toll, it's coming off, slowly and surely and staying off! So maybe be next winter we'll be ready for babies. My body will be healthy and Juan will be 1 year away from the school finish line! WOO HOO!
In more exciting news, we headed down in Honda (nope, still no decision on a name yet) to Katy this past weekend to see Jake bless his little baby girl, Elizabeth. What a blessing it was! He said just the right things, but when he mentioned boys, Lizzie did start to cry a little, guess she's not quite ready for that step yet. What a precious baby she is! Congrats Jake and Hil on a beautiful baby girl, we are so very happy for you.
Not much else to report. I have been avoiding the P90X......as usual. It scares the living daylights out of me! So I do a few sit ups and push ups in the morning and have been eyeing the P90X box suspiciously for the past few days. I know it's not going to kill me, I don't want to fail! But I guess we can't succeed if we don't try, so once again, wish me luck on this P90X endeavor. I've told myself I'll do it tonight if it's the last thing I do....so I probably should keep that promise to myself. I'll let you know how it goes!
Ooooo, and I am going to make some cards this week, so keep an eye out for those on our crafty site: http://www.pileocraft.blogspot.com/
18 days til Christmas! We are going to have our first official Christmas alone this year and while it's kinda sad not to see all your family, it's exciting to make your own traditions too!

I am so happy you are writing this down and setting goals. Remember to take it a week at a time instead of thinking about everything you have to do by next Christmas. I am sorry you were so unhappy on your birhday! I had no idea until I read this. Let me know if I can help you with anything. Love you :)
