I'm still here

So, I haven't blogged in a while.  There was a 3 week span where I wasn't loosing any weight, and I was sad, depressed, discouraged, frustrated... you get the idea.  The last thing I wanted to do was blog.  Bloggity, blog, blog-blog!!  Then, I lost 6 pounds!  It almost made the last 3 weeks worth it... almost.  I went to blog about my excitement and blogger wouldn't work for me.  Lame.

My back is feeling better and that is awesome!  I'm still a gimp because of my hip, but I can deal with that.  My clothes are fitting again and that is also... awesome!  lol  My house is in better shape because I feel better, and it's easier to keep it picked up.  And my kids are happier because if mom is happy, everyone is happy!

So, I am still here... munching my celery sticks, drinking my water, chugging along, drowning myself every Tuesday and Thursday morning at Pavitts endless lap pool, and generally felling better about... well, everything.  I may not be loosing tons of weight, and feel silly every Monday weighing in for the Lose2Win contest, but that's okay.  I'm not going to win a thousand dollars, but that's not why I signed up for the contest anyway.  I've decided if I loose 1 or 2 lbs a week, than that would be cool.  50 to 100 lbs in a year, that's nothing to scoff at.  And losing it slow, and a healthy, non crash diet way will keep it from creeping back up on me.

And you even get me to the gym in the morning! Not an easy feat. You're so dang chipper at 5:30 a.m. though it's hard to grouse! Keep up the good work, 19 lbs is AWESOME!!!
