Scratchin' the itch.....

Well, I am starting to tackle some of the things on my list.....
~I have made a 'date' to go to the gym tomorrow morning

~I bought an album last night at JoAnn's to chronicle my weight loss journey

~I got 2 pages for the above album completed & I had K. take my before photo....let me tell you, this ranks as one of the 10 worst experiences of my life. I know it sounds dramatic...but this was a very raw photo...no makeup and cute hair. I was wearing my velour lounge pants & a cotton v-neck shirt...not my jeans that have the means to hold my 'junk' in. I didn't slouch, but I didn't suck it all in either. It was truly humilating...but hopefully by next Christmas I'll be able to look back on it & see major progress.


~We bought a new scale to track the above journey.....the good news is that our old scale was off by 2.5lbs...in our favor. Wahoo!!! So without even trying I am 2.5 down, only 36 more to go :)

So...it's a start! It's only the 5th of January & I am aiming high, I tell you! 2006 is gonna be a damn good year!



*****I almost forgot...I am getting serious about upping my water intake. Yesterday was quite successful...I drank 96oz of water & managed to only have one can of diet Coke!!! Anyone who knows me, knows that in itself is MAJOR! So if you or anyone you know owns stock in the Coca-cola company.....sell now, because the decrease in my consumption alone just may bankrupt them!


Having dinner last night with my friend made me realize how much I have missed her since she's been gone. They have been in L.A. for exactly a year now & her kids have been doing quite well in 'the industry'..but that doesn't help me now, does it???? Doesn't she realize that it's all about me, me ME????? They are begging for our family to come to Los Angeles for a visit. Just maybe, a trip to Disneyland in our future......... You know one of the things on my list was to plan vacation.............

Tonight is typical 'mom duty', swimming lessons, dinner, homework, baths...you know the drill. Hoping to pop in a movie & cuddle with my man on the sofa after we put the munchkins to bed! Have a great night ;)
