That's a good place to be! Life's events will do that sometimes and your upcoming celebrations that you mentioned, have blessings written all over them. 😊 Congratulations on your daughter's graduation.  

Just re-read your entry. Happy birthday to your daughter. 🎂 

Her dad just brought her flowers and a balloon and a little cake to start her day- so she's happy so far. Thanks, Becc 

That sounds so special. 💕 I know you'll do fine with the celebrations. 👍 

Yay! Great job! 

Congratulations! 🥂🎉 

And well, there is always an excuse to eat,right? I am going to a birthday party tomorrow, mother's day on Sunday, my son's birthday next week, etc.  

Happy birthday to little D-princess! 🎂🎁🎉💞  

Keilin- sounds like we are in the same boat. I will pass on your b-day wishes. She just brought cookies to her class and they have a 1/2 day today. Doesn't get much better than that.  

Party on... you will be back on track by Monday!  

Erquiaga- yes. ;) 

Oh yeah, not biggie. Always little bumps along the way. It's the trend that matters. 

How do you know about the chains? Did he share that with you? 🤪jk. Def was happy to see the loss... Especially since I only did half the time in the gym... If even. Excited to see where I'll be in a month. I'm 5'9 so about 200# I start looking pretty decent. Like I said never been below 185 but at 185 I was in a 10/12. You probably aren't super familiar with women's sizes but not being in "plus" sizes was huge for me.  

wow, you are tall, that is a good thing. 😊 

If you gave up carbs don't say it jaja 

Good job. It is real life. Try to make good choices. Good luck! 

Davidsprincess, we're the same height but we have different builds, and you must be much more fit than I. Even at age 29 and a very fit 165 pounds, I still wore a size 14 ... and looked fantastic! Just five years later, in 1987, I was already losing muscle tone and gaining weight rapidly. At 185 pounds, I wore a size 18. From all these comparisons, age and build aside, returning to some exercise is my next challenge. 

Actually, Chris picked out my last formal for a small soiree we we're holding. Very tasteful, beige and gold brocade with a matching jacket. 

That was kinda tasteless. Failed to mention that I didn't carry the bag. The shoes were a hit. 👠 

LOL- You guys crack me up. No- I didn't cut out carbs but definitely the more carbs I eat, the more I want to eat and eat and eat. Not eating the carbs so much definitely curbs the cravings. And like Diablo said- the kids are older and its easier to get to the gym. I really love lifting and I hope I remember that when I don't want to keep going. I did back today it was awesome! Back is probably my favorite gym day- but its hard to choose. Not sure how I know it is different this time- but it is. Also- I pray a lot and I was a huge food addict but I think my prayers have been answered. I joke a lot so that probably sounds like I'm kidding- but I am serious.
