It is 9am on Friday the 20th of May, here in Tasmania & a little birdie tells me it's your birthday :D
(There's nothing like a big time difference to enable me to get in early!) xoxo Cate.

Thanks! Another year older..... 29 this year. ;)

Not much to update. Still fat. haha! I'm pretty much right where I was when I stopped posting last time. But I've been really good for about a week now. Don't wanna jinx it, but I'm feeling pretty good. Well, I should say confident. I'm feeling confident! :) Summer is in full swing, and I always ..ALWAYS .... do better in the summer. Winter is just a bitch, and I don't like her. Summer though, Summer is my friend. lol! We get along. She brings the sun, and the sun makes me happy. :)


Anyway, I'm doing good right now. Been spending a lot of time on instagram and youtube lately, but thought I'd update. :)
 
You are a spring chicken, Jen! I don't like Winter either, & she's about to arrive here. I'm just going to have to get over it & embrace her, with open arms(well rugged up though) Thanks for the update honey. Glad you're feeling good, xoxo
 
I feel bad for Winter :D She's getting it from all directions (haha I don't like her either ....so my plan is to have a YEAR of Summer starting June, but shhhh ;) )

Lovely to hear from you, keep up that CONFIDENCE!!! :)
 
:) I like winter; summer tortures my skin and forces me inside a lot when I want to be outside. I can put on more layers for cold weather, but can´t remove more for heat. O well, something for everyone. Good to hear you´re on track!
 
I'm with you on summer, love it a thousand times more than evil winter. Though I sweat like a river on humid days, but it still beats clearing snow and trudging in that horrid mixture of salt, dirt and snow. Pretty sure that slurry is the physical form of depression.
 
Thanks, guys! :) I'm sure summer and I will have a love/hate relationship. lol!

Food has been pretty good today. I've been eating lots of fruits and veggies lately, and drinking lots of water. Meats and veggies/salad for dinner. Pretty much the same thing I've always done and calorie counting. It works for me, so I'm sticking with it. There is one thing I'm doing differently though, and it's kind of giving me motivation. I started a private instagram(just for myself) and I'm taking pics of my food and weight loss. It's nice to look at all the healthy meals I'm eating and visually see that I'm doing a good job. Plus I figure I can use it to come up with meals if I'm having a hard time. I can just scroll through it and be like.."OOoooo yeah, that was good, I'll have that again!". lol! Plus when the weight starts dropping off again, I'll be able to see that too. I also followed a bunch of sexy fit women on there, so I can get some motivation from that too. haha!

Haven't really done much today. I need to finish working. Side note: My work contract was renewed today... woohoo!! I aaaaalmost have enough money to get a new(to me) car. Maybe 2 more months and I will. I probably won't buy anything until August or September at least though, so I have plenty of time. Woohoo for that too!

Anyway, I should probably get off here and do something productive. I hope everyone is having a great day! :)
 
Love the 1st quote in your siggy, it is perfect. Wish I would have had that two years ago. Oh well I am back and giving it a real honest try this time. I also love the idea of instagram, anything that can motivate is good in my world. Good luck with that! :)
 
Congratulations on the contract renewal! I like the picture idea, humans are pretty visual creatures after all.
 
Thanks, everyone! You guys should definitely try the instagram thing. I am loving it! Tete.. glad to see you back! I love that quote too!
And I agree, LaMa, we are very visual creatures. At least I know I am. :)


Not much going on today. Food has been pretty good. We're having a roast and veggies for dinner, so I'm looking forward to that. Mmmm! It's going to be delicious!

The kids are being pretty good and getting along...? o_O Weird. It might be the end of the world, people. Prepare yourselves! haha!

Anywho... good day so far! It's beautiful outside, and pretty warm. I realized today though, that I have very few summer clothes that fit and don't make me look like a busted can of biscuits. haha! I need to pick up a few things soon, or I might melt. I have lots of clothes if I lose like 30 lbs... sigh... one day.. one day I will get back into them! :)
 
We're having roast & veggies for dinner too (free-range chicken). Love that the kids are getting along Jen- fingers & toes crossed. It might be a new beginning.....
 
It didn't last long, Cate. Not nearly long enough. Eh...kids! haha!



Speaking of kids. I'm going to go pick mine up from school in a little bit here. I'm excited to see what they have to say, because I know the graduating class was doing a walk-thru in the elementary school building all dressed up in their caps and gowns today. From what I've heard the kids really enjoyed it. There was a facebook post going around awhile ago showing a class in another state doing it. All the kids were clapping and high-fiving the graduates. So glad that our school decided to do it this year. :)

After I pick the kids up I'm taking them over to my mom's to visit with her for a little bit. I've been really good so far today, so hopefully I don't blow it over there. She almost always has some kind of baked good right out of the oven, usually cookies or bread, waiting for the kids. Siiiiiiigh... so tempting. So delicious. Thanks a lot, mom! haha!

Now I leave you with pandas.... because...well... they're cute. Imagine the workout this would be. I want this job. haha!
