One year later
Today is my birthday, I’m 34. And as I’m sure happens to most people, having a birthday causes me to look back over the last year. Some great times, some sad times and some times I would rather forget. I also, of course, track my weight loss progress.
I can’t say for sure but I think I might weigh more now than I did last year. Not much, because I know I was wearing the same jeans, but I think I was in the 260’s. I’m truly not beating myself up about that because we have had a heck of a year and I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t have eaten to make themselves feel better, but I just hope that when I’m sitting here one year from today I’m not having the same feelings. Right now, I honestly feel that I’m on track to becoming healthier and skinnier. We’re possibly facing hospitalization today with my younger son (I think he developed pneumonia after his seizure yesterday) and I am not going to use it as an excuse to go off my eating plan. I might have to throw in a few more fruits than I normally do because they’re portable and easy, but they are healthy. I also bought a few skirts off clearance yesterday that are cute but smaller sizes. I accidentally grabbed a 16 in one when I meant to pick up an 18, but this is motivation. I’m hoping that by the end of the school year I can fit into it.
I’ll write more later, my son woke up and needs to eat. Hope everyone has a good Friday.
Happy Birthday! I’m sorry to hear that the little guy is not feeling well. Hope its not the pneumonia.
Happy Birthday! You must be just gorgeous, being a February Aquarius baby and all. Thanks for your kind comment on my blog. Sounds to me (reading your last couple of blogs) that you have a lot on your plate and have been handling it with true grace, plus you seem to know exactly what’s what with food choices, exercise and knowing when not to beat yourself up over an indugence. You’re going to get where you want to be.
I hope your little one starts to feel better, and your even littler one sleeps all the way through the next night it’s your turn! I’ve been telling everyone to write their desires down on a piece of paper - a note to the universe. I’ve started my list, too.

Happy Birthday to you!!! **fingers crossed that your son doesn’t need to be hospitalized today**
I think that with your commitment to being healthier that this time next year you will be down.
I didn’t get to comment yesterday but I think you have a perfectly good excuse to skip the family function. Especially now that he may have pneumonia.
