So I'm doing better. I haven't lost any weight this month (that's unofficially until the 5th) but I haven't gained any either, and I had a bunch of cheat days as well as one "streak" where I couldn't get back to my regimen. Its been pretty tough but I'm okay. My birthday is Sunday. I hope to blast right through it while remaining steadfast on the diet...we'll see...
I had my first pool experience. It wasn't so bad. Last year I felt like the largest person at the pool. UGLY in every sense of the word. This wasn't quite that...but the self esteem is still shaky at best. My bathing suit was the same as last years and I am pleasantly surprised to report that it slid right on loosely and so I felt better about that. Not great...but not SO BIG if you get my drift.
My sister-in-law found someone and he seems wonderful. You may remember she was widowed two years ago suddenly by way of a house fire that her husband purposefully started to commit suicide. She suffered so. The new man in her life is very sweet. He's good to her. He wears hearing aides which makes him perfect for her, because by nature she is very loud. God is good and he does provide if you let him. She said something very profound to me though. She said that she found a very special person in him. That she's going to "allow" herself to have that. I understood the statement. Women-as a general rule self sacrifice...well just about everything for their loved ones. She was no different. I guess "growth" really is an amazing thing in a person. Her husbands exodus from this world changed her... in a good way...in many good ways...
Life is funny that way.
The book is out and signings are lined up. I'm in 201 Magazine this month. It's only a blurb but it felt good just the same. I feel pretty good about it and I hope that it takes off. I sent promotional copies all over the United States and to "stars" like Oprah, Gayle King, Kelly Rippa, John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, The View hosts, the Today show hosts...Henry Winkler ,,,the list goes on and on. It's pretty wonderful.
The song "I wanna be a billionaire" by Travie McCoy just came out and my BFF dubbed it my theme song. I laughed SO hard when I heard it- For the most part-it totally fits! I posted it to face book and laughed every time I played it, which was often. It's such a cute song!
Well that's about all the news for the moment. I will rejoin you on the 5th for the official weigh in. (We always LOVE that...) In the meantime try to remember:
You look as good as you can for today, tomorrow you will look that much better. Do not let your perception of your body stand in the way of you having a good time. Try to stay positive and remember- you are not alone! Have a great day/evening/night. See you next blog! ;-)
