Clever Title

Wow-it's been a long time between posts. I am terrible at blogging I have found out! I appreciate everyone else's blogs so much and forget that some may want to read what's up with me too! Oops. Please forgive me.

So, since we've last spoken I have eaten carbs again, but then swore off carbs again. The reason I ate carbs was for the holidays, and I don't regret that I made that decision. But, once the holidays were over I resumed my previous diet and even joined a Weight Loss Challenge. We do weekly weigh-ins, and I lost the first weeks weigh in by .06%! What the heck? I don't feel like a failure or that I've technically lost anything because I didn't win the weekly challenge, but .06?! Come on now!

I've been down this getting fit road before, and once I get in the swing of things it comes easily and naturally to me. I'm trying to reshape my thinking so that this is a lifetime change, not just a "get to a comfortable weight and then start eating poorly to have to do it all over again" change. I have been doing yoga with my aunt and want to start to look into doing some classes. We did an intermediate DVD yesterday and I was doing poses that on paper, I never in a million years thought I'd be able to do. Along with eating right, I feel so much more energized! Last weekend I was a sloth and didn't have much more energy to be anything but, this weekend, after five days of eating healthy, I was up at 8 and going non-stop all day! What a change!

Work is going to be getting busy here for a bit, which I appreciate. I hate being bored at work. I'm not sure if anyone knows this about me, but I can be a bit of a talker. And when I'm bored at work, I tend to get even less done because I'm chatting all the time, or as much as possible. I know-hard to believe....since that is the only thing I've ever gotten in trouble for in my life! Haha!

Tianna found a beautiful wedding dress on Saturday. Her and I immediately burst into tears the minute she had it on. They then came with a feather/flower connoction for her hair (ala the bird from SATC Movie), and while Ti and Beaky both scoffed, I put it in her hair because I had to see it....it was awesome and gorgeous! Oh my goodness, who thought feathers would look nice? What is funny and ironic about that is this whole time while planning Ti's wedding with her I've said the only thing I want to be able to do is wear a flower in my hair; I don't care about the bridesmaids dress, I'll support any decision, just let me wear a flower. Now Ti is wearing a flower and loves it so much she wants all the girls to do it too! Haha! Other things for her wedding are running smoothly as well-we just had someone over today to put together the invitations, there will be a proof back on that next week. The tasting still needs to be done; If I can, I'll go but I would like to refrain from tasting the food if at all possible. Why tempt fate?

Oh, Ti has been doing the Weight Loss Challenge as well, but she is going to have to be much more careful than me over the next few months as she will not be able to lose as much weight as she was planning on. Not that she was necessairly doing it for the wedding, she was also making a lifestyle change, but her drastic lifestyle change will have to wait until after May 22 :) Which means, less competition for me to win some big bucks! Haha! I think the WLC will help keep her motivated to tone up and live a healthy lifestyle. I just think we're both so grateful for the challenge and our newfound outlook on life and health.

I was thinking about taking a picture of myself every hour that I was awake the other day....I wonder what that would be like. Maybe I will still do that and use it as a blog. I wonder what that would for sure be like at work. Maybe not necessarily a picture of myself, but maybe a picture of my surroundings. That way, people who don't get to see me very much or doing the day would know what I'm doing at any given time....interesting or lame? Input :)

All right, I'm being a chatty Kathie, time to go. Peace and love.
