Weight loss...

I have been trying really hard to lose weight. Finally my DH says to me that my butt and thighs are getting smaller. Yayyyyy! If it is enough for him to notice that is a really good thing. That means all my working out and eating right are doing the job they are supposed to do. I still need to work on eating breakfast but my stomach just turns at food that early. I'm really not that into food lately anyway. I haven't been craving the junk food or the pop that I gave up. When I did crave a pop I got a Diet Coke instead of my normal Mountain Dew which for me is a huge step! I still have my morning coffee but I don't put the same amount of sugar in it anymore.....I use less than half what I did before. That's another huge step for me because I like my coffee with cream and sugar. Now if I could cut out the cream I would really save on those calories. Ohh well....one step at a time. Eventually I will be drinking it black like my mom and will lose even more weight.

As for right now I am focusing on decorating the house for the holidays. I want to put my tree up this weekend so that it is up for Thanksgiving with all the family here. I really look forward to having my mom, dad and grandpa here for Thanksgiving even though we can't use the dining room this year. Oh well on that one too. I just don't have the time to decorate and get the dining room in shape for the holidays. Since I am allergic to real pine my fake wreaths are all ready on the doors and my window clings are already up. I need to get my nativity down here and then get the rest of the living room and kitchen decorations down here. The house will look lively and beautiful for Thanksgiving! I can't wait! I've been working on it a little bit every day and already have the decorations up in the dining room. I'm getting there slowly but surely.
