Today was a really nice day. We lounged and went to his parents for dinner. Tomorrow will be eventful. He is running some errands and taking Cadence to the dentist. Plus he is going back to St. Louis tomorrow. :-( I hope and pray every single day that his transfer gets approved and he can come home. It would be the first day job that he has had since I don't know when. We have never had the experience of both of us being home every night and weekend...well we did in St. Louis, but that is different. We have family and friends here. We would save so much money too! Ok, it's about my bed time...good night.

Today was a very fun and eventful day. I am exhausted and ready to hit the sack. The weather was awesome. We got up and had breakfast at Wild Eggs....it was sooooooo good. Then Jennifer and I got Chai Tea's from the Java next door! I love their Chai Tea....I need a Java store a little closer to home...MMMMmmmmm. Then we went to the Mall and Whole Foods. I could live in Whole Foods! They were doing a health fair and had tons of stuff going. Let's see...then we went grocery shopping at Wal-mart. After dropping everything off, we went to dinner at Red Robin to celebrate all of the Jan. birthdays! It was a blast. There were 14 of us there and we all had a good time. I was good. I opted for the Garden Burger with Melon Wedges and water to drink! No french fries...ok half of one. For the whole day, I was surprisingly under 2,000 calories! What a great day!

I am so happy today is Friday. I have a very busy, but fun weekend planned and Greg is in town. Yay. Once Greg got home, he complimented me on how good I look and specific areas that he notices a big difference. That made me feel so good!

I made it this week!I got up every morning and completed my workouts. I amso proud of myself and will definitely keep getting up early to workout. Despite tomorrow being a Saturday morning, I will be getting up at 6:30am to workout. We have some morning plans and I don't want to miss a workout.

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.
