4)blogged
5)spent time with kids

I think that will be my last post for this year, See you next year!

31 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and other random things

Yes, I have lost 31 lbs!!! I am excited, and am loving the fact I am down one jean size, and the best part is some of those jeans are starting to get too big!!! I am feeling pretty proud of myself!

So I order my camera. I know that everyone was sitting on edge to see if I would change my mind again or not but I didn't. I got a Nikon D90. I ordered the camera body, but the company threw in a lens for free. The lens is a 28 - 80mm and while it's not the best lens, it does take a good picture. It will do until I can get a better lens bought.

I have accomplished a couple of things today. Three pairs of pj bottoms, one for each kid. Two receiving blankets, one for my niece and one for my nephew, both due in March. One burp cloth and a load of laundry! Yup! I am doing well today. Let's not forget I also updated my blog.

I have finished Christmas shopping. I have not mailed anything off yet. Maybe tomorrow.

29 lbs and counting!!!!

In the beginning... of this year, ya I know but I couldn't resist, I told myself that I was going to lose 30 lbs. I figured that I had a whole year and I could so it. In January I started pediatrics and sat on my behind and ate. No weight loss. February, March, April, May, and June were the same. Sat on butt, ate, no weight loss, some weight gain. July I started to work home care in diabetic. Yay, lost a pound. August 1-30th no weight loss. August 31st, got mad. decided to lose weight and came up with a plan. Implemented plan. December 9th, 2010 29 lbs lost. Hurray!!! I still have 21 days to lose that final pound and fulfill my goal for weight loss for this year! Wish me luck!!!
