March 26, 2012
It's been 25 days since I have written anything on my blog and there is no excuse for it except for being lazy about making time to go online and write.
The weather had been so nice here that I took advantage of it and went outside... and hung out with my princess in the beautiful over 75 degree weather that we had for 8 days straight!
I've been spending so much more time with the hubby and going out... we've been enjoying the time that we have with each other even more.

I am now planning our daughters second birthday... gosh, time sure has zoomed by since she was born. But I enjoy every second that I have with her.
It is because of three important people in my life that I have decided to make this journey on losing weight. They are my daughter, my husband and my mother... they are the ones that I run to for support and they sure give it with all their might. But even though they are my biggest supporters, the biggest supporter in my life is I. And I have seen so much change in the last 11 weeks!! And I looking forward to the next milestones in my life that I can continue to face with the confidence that I have been facing my weight loss journey.

It has been a huge struggle for me the last 11 weeks, but I see the light shining - even though it is far out of my grasp, I know that I will get to it. It will just be a matter of time... and I know that I will finally get to the goal weight that I want to get to. I just need to figure out what that number is.
I know that weight doesn't define a person but my self-confidence does! And with more and more weight coming off, my self-confidence has been shooting right out of me!

Just this weekend, I was able to clear the dance floor at a party that my husband and I were at. A friend of his took me out to dance a beautiful salsa song and we just looked fabulous dancing it! I haven't danced like that in AGES... and it felt great to be on the dance floor doing something that used to make feel great!
I love to dance! Especially salsa dancing... makes me feel like there are no cares in the world. The twists and the turns... make me feel beautiful! And the benefit of losing weight because of the hard work that goes along with dancing isn't a bad thing at all. ;-) I'm in love with dancing... and I hope that my princess loves it as much as I do. The hubby has even mentioned taking lessons so he can dance with me the way that I was dancing with his friend on Saturday night.
I might just look into dance lessons for the both of us... along with our gym workouts, my new Zumba Xbox game and dancing, these pounds just might melt away faster than expected!

Well, I am back baby... and I hope to stay on top!
Weight in is tonight...so looking forward to seeing what the scale is going to tell me.
I am on a mission to finally get this weight off… and I know that I’ve said this before, but with already hitting my 10 pounds mark this month, I am super psyched about it. I want to continue seeing great accomplishments ahead of me. I am so proud of the accomplishments that I have so far done in my life… they might be small for some, but they are HUGE for me. I am very happy about that. With each step I take, it is something new that I am doing for my life. And I am very happy about those steps.
I stand a little taller… I am feeling stronger… And I am not feeling alone in my mission in life and that is the biggest blessing of it all. I am surrounded by people that care about me and those things that are important to me. And I am grateful for those blessings that I get each and every day.
I am not focusing on what I am going to do professionally. I don’t know… I am certainly in a crossroad with that. I want to be able to do something professionally that will make me happy but I am not sure on what that will be. I have so many ideas running through my head but will any of them work? I don’t know… There are so many people that will help bring you down; and you try to push yourself and there are people that just won’t let you push you out of your comfort zone.
I just posted a status message on Facebook… saying that if you are planning a party to let me know so I can offer up my services to make it a special event. Let’s see how many STUPID comments I get. I swear if I get any stupid comments from people on there, I will delete those people from my friends list and from my life. I am already cleaning up my friends list so I am on a roll of getting rid of people from my life. I don’t need the negativity in my life and I have no problem pushing them out of it for good.
I have already done that with people that I have known for a very long time… and if they continue with their crap, I will just walk away for good. I don’t need the drama of being shunned from their life. I don’t need the drama of people feeling as though I can just be pushed to the side and only advised of things when they believe that I should be advised. I can’t stand it when people just want to share things with some and not with all… I thought that we were friends, but I guess I am not that important in your life to know things. Whatever… I’m continuing on with my life and bringing in more people into my life.
