It's been a while...

Hello all:

Well I can honestly say I have not meant to neglect my blog, but since I wasn't losing any weight for oh almost 6 weeks, I truly didn't feel like I had anything new or interesting to report. But I have news... I made the conscious decision last Monday (when Aunt flow visited me, yet again...LOL) to eat whatever I wanted, not on plan, if I wanted junk, junk food, carbs in the morning, the whole kit and kaboodle. Then, then something miraculous happened even after eating not perfect but not entirely bad, more like freedom of choice really, and with my period on board.... I LOST 2 LBS.......YYYYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH.... you don't know how excited I am....

I am at a weight I haven't seen since senior year and slowly closing the gap on junior high days, which in itself is sad that I was this heavy in junior high but seriously exciting to a mother of three and let's face it 30 years old...almost 31.........sad I know......

So my thought is that my metabolism got to used to the good food all the time and I needed to switch things up to make it rev up again, so within 2 day I will be completely back on plan and we will see if the final 15-20 (15 for sure) come off by July 17, th......the big photo shoot day.... yay....

I am truly amazed at how my body has changed with just 20 lbs gone... my size 14 or getting seriously loose I believe shortly i will be in a 12 (well i actually bought a size 11/12 capri's and they are baggy, but i think it is just the cut of the jeans myself...lol) I am so much more happy and it radiates into my whole life... I am so thankful that I finally lost at least this much weight. I can honestly say I don't ask my husband on a daily basis do I look like i've gained weight? Am I fat? and he is thankful....lol.... Yes I know I need therapy.....but unfortunately I don't feel like toting the baby to Fairbanks to see a counselor so my blog will have to do and those who love me that our my sounding boards....

I will say I needed motivation and asked not only my hubby, a very close friend to try and motivate me with negative comments... (neither one of them was very receptive to the idea by the way...) So I wrangled my baby sister, and she has delivered..... and I love her for that... although she has been slackin the last few days, but she is on her last week of school so I forgive her........

Alright... hopefully I will have more good news to post next time...... until then......
