My birthday! I know, it's just another regular old day, but it is supposed to be special. For the most part it was pretty good, but there was one major downside...The only person I wanted to spend it with couldn't share the day with me. I woke up this morning in such a great mood, telling myself that I would be positive and make the most of it! I did that for a couple of hours, then gave in to the "Debbie Downer" side of me. Oh well...I did think about writing a list of things I would like to accomplish, or at least begin working on before I turn 27. Is that silly? Not like a New Year's Resolution or anything, just some goals. If you know me at all, you know that I have a difficult time sticking with anything! The only thing that I am majorly proud of myself about is that I did make one Resolution at the beginning of the year. It was to lose weight. To date, I have lost 52.5 lbs! That is actually a HUGE accomplishment for me, and the only thing I have ever stuck with. I'm still on my weight loss journey, but adding a fitness routine to my list of goals is definitely something I will do! Because I am so proud of my weight loss, and also because I think it will motivate me even more to lose weight, I'm going to post a before and after picture. Now I know that in the "before" picture, you are supposed to look super pale and not smile. Well I got the super pale part right, but we were taking Christmas pictures, so I had to smile! Like I said, it's a work in progress, but thus far I am pleased with the results. I must mention that I did it all with the help of Weight Watchers! I love WW and totally recommend it to everyone, whether you need to lose weight or just want to maintain your current weight, it's awesome!
Well, that's my rambling for the day. Thanks for the support of keeping the blogs up so far!! Have a great week!!
In case you couldn't tell, I was having some major problems trying to take a picture of myself in the bathroom mirror! It only took like 20 minutes for me to finally figure out that I was supposed to look at the image of the camera in the mirror and not myself or the actual camera. You may follow through with your laughter now :o)
