This week has seemed extremely long and I'm not sure why. I have been thinking so much about things this week. It's almost like I have been in my own little world.

Anyway, Greg comes home tomorrow. Yay...I had a good night. I went to dinner with my parents and Mama. We went to Goose Creek Diner! It was sooooooooo good. I did very well and stuck with the healthier options. I attempted to go grocery shopping, but had to leave before I got everything. Cadence was just not in the mood to grocery shop. She is going through this stage of whining and wanting everything, but that's a kid for ya...LOL. I will go tomorrow night after Greg gets home.

We have a busy weekend planned and I am looking forward to every minute of it!

I woke up this morning at 5:30 am to exercise. I almost did not get up and then I told myself that an extra hour of sleep was not worth missing a workout. I feel great. I have plenty of energy first thing in the morning.

I have to admitt that I went over my calorie goal last night, but did not go over 2,000. Ooops. Of course, after I stuff myself full of spaghetti and garlic bread, I did feel miserable. Not to self.....STOP after the first plate or at least wait 20 minutes so that the food can digest.

I am excited about tonight. I am going to get my hair done. I love the red and the short cut, but with next month coming up I need to do something different. I got this haircut and color about 2 weeks after I lost my babies. Naturally, my due date is coming up and I have had the red short hair this whole time so now when I see it I can only think of why I did it. I have decided to go back to my natural color and just get a trim because I am going to let my hair grow back out....maybe shoulder length or just a bit longer. It's time for something different. I'm a new me...new color, hairstyle and losing weight.

I'm also ready for the weekend because Gregory will be coming home. I hope and pray that he can get transferred home soon. As the due date gets closer and closer, I am going to need him to lean on. I just can't get it off of my mind.

I am proud to say that I woke up at 5:30 am and exercised. I have been doing the Zumba, but now I really need to add strength training and what not to my workouts. I want to tone everything at the same time....no saggy skin for me. LOL. I have had so much energy today from getting up early and have been in a great mood. I am a little sleepy now, but I think it is due to the weather and the fact that I am ready to call it a day at work. Haha. It's hard to believe that 15 days have passed since I posted my first pictures. I can't wait to see the comparison in another month.

Thank you to everyone for all of the support and encouraging comments.

So it's 6:25am and I had every intention on getting up at 5:30 am to exercise. Well, I have been using my phone as an alarm clock. Big mistake...apparently it went on the fritz because when I woke up the screen was black and my panel was lit up. I took the battery out and now it is fine. I may need to get a new phone. This isn't the first issue I have had with this one.

Ugh well, I guess I will be exercising when I get home tonight.

So I had my weigh in today.....I am pleased to annouce that I am officially under 200. I currently weigh 199.8! I plan on NEVER being 200 again. The number will only continue to drop from this point! What a way to start the week.

Today was a very eventful day. Cadence and I went to church at 9:30. It was very inspiring and a wake up call. As a church, we have a daily reading plan for the bible. I am going to do that. I feel that there is still so much that I need to know and want to learn and what better way to do it than reading the bible.

After church, we were going to have breakfast with my family, but we had to cancel last minute since a few were not feeling well. So Cadence and I ran by Kroger and got some fresh fruit along with stuff for lunch. I went to Gloria's and exercised for an hour. I felt the burn. LOL. Then we all went to Barnes & Noble to meet with some of our knitting friends. It was nice to sit down and catch up. Cadence was knitting all kinds of invisible things...She even made me knitted panties. Haha.

Once we got home, we played in the snow and then came inside to make black bean quesadilla's. Yum-o. Anywho, I have ran on long enough. I am anxious for the weigh-in tomorrow and in an odd way look forward to it every week.

I cleaned like a mad woman today! I don't know what got into me, but I welcome the energy boost. My office, which was a storage room, is now a working space. I put everything away and got rid of some stuff. It looks so pretty. Now I don't mind being in here for a while. LOL. I also cleaned the living room top to bottom. I aslo spent 2.5 hrs cleaning candle wax out of the carpet and off of my couch. That was a blast! I also cleaned the kitchen. In between all of this, Cadence and I played Zumba on the Wii...well she danced to one song and I finished the rest of the 45 minute workout. I always feel so energized afterwards.

At 9pm, I settled down and watched Twilight! I need to finish the last book. They really are good books....and movies too!

This morning started off rough. I had issues getting my car doors open. The roads weren't horrible, but they were not the best either. On my way into work, I found out what it was like to be a ping-pong ball. I nearly took out the mailbox for Walgreens in Crestwood and then almost hit the telephone pole. Thankfully, people stopped so I could get my car off the curb that I ran up on. I was a bit shakey, but ok and the car is fine. I am glad that I did not have Cadence with me.

I did not get up to exercise, but will do it tonight when I get home. I have 89 days left and I want to make the most of every day!
