spring is in the air

Well, the weekend blogger strikes again.  Here I am!  I have been thinking about the 2 months that are coming up soon:  Spring! and Summer.  Yes, summer.

For the past few years (as long as I can remember, really) I have dreaded summer.  Really, i had convinced myself that I hated it.  You know why?  Because of an overweight body and lack of self- confidence.  This year will be different though.  Why?

I usually start a severely unattainable crash diet every April trying to lose “twenty pounds” or so before the start of June.  Completely unrealistic.  I have a huge head start this year.  Because I started my Lifestyle Change in November (almost six months sooner than usual)  I will not be scattering to lose weight when the summer rolls around.

School has me quite busy these days.  I have been battling a flu/ cold all week.  I am a people pleaser and not a school- skipper, however, I do know where my limit is.  I didn’t go to school today.  I sort of had planned to sleep all day.  But i didn’t do that.  No, instead I did some spring cleaning! I will sleep sounder than usual tonight!

weight:  my weight is on the Downward Spiral.  Praise the Lord.  as i mentioned a couple of posts ago… my mother is catching up to me in her weight loss.  Even though the scale just shows us numbers.. it very much so prompted me to continue and push through the temptations.  Now… I am down 47 pounds.  Yes, you read that correctly FORTY SEVEN.  They are not lost, they are “gotten rid of.”
