Weight

Well on Friday I went to the doctor with my DH. Just to see I weighed myself while I was there. I went from 208 to 197. I am so proud I finally broke the 200 pound mark. My hope is by Christmas to break the 190 mark and then by my birthday on January 25th to break the 180 mark. I know I can do this because I've done it in the past. I just have to work hard and stay on track with my eating. My eating has been the hardest part. I sometimes crave junk food like chips and that makes it really hard. I love salty food so I have taken to munching on pretzels as a low fat, low calorie alternative. It is really helping too.

My mom and my son went Christmas shopping for all of us yesterday and my son told me everything he got me. I love every last present he chose. I have a Michigan pillow, Tinkerbell pajamas, and the new Tinkerbell movie. I also know my mom got me an MP3 player. So I am really excited for Christmas. I love getting all these goodies. I know it isn't fair for me to know ahead of time what I am getting, but it makes me so excited for Christmas. I also know that he bought his dad t-shirts, bear pajama bottoms, and a bear Zippo lighter. His dad is going to love it. He also bought presents for his little brothers. So I think everyone is going to be really happy. It's exciting this time of year. I can't wait to get my Christmas tree up. That will be either next weekend or tomorrow. If the kids get a snow day tomorrow then it will definately go up then. I love to decorate the tree when it's snowing. It's just such an awesome time to do it.
