2 9 2 9 2 9 2 9 2 9 2 9

2/9- Today's my birthday and I'm 29! Fitting, huh? :)

It's my last year on my twenties, and can I just start out by saying I never thought I would be excited about my thirties? Yes, seriously!

Let take a look back in time....

The twenties brought a lot of difficulties, but along with that came many joys to my life. I finished college, I had two beautiful babies, married the man of my dreams, and grew to like myself a little. The bad times seemed to outnumber the good, but what good we have had outPOWERS the bad. Bad relationships, lost jobs, moving, bad hair, and stretch marks I could have done without. You gotta take the bad with the good I guess.

The hubby and I were reflecting on the eve of my birthday about his past year being 29 (turns 30 7/11!). He looked at me and said, "I've found a great job, we moved into a great place, I can't complain too much." So here's to hoping 29 brings me a great job :) and moving onto bigger and better things :)

I can't get over how much I am looking forward to my 30's. I think it will be a great decade and can't wait to bid my 20's good riddance :)

Monthly Monday Weigh-In

Being that today is the first Monday of the month, I thought this would be a good time to update my weight status. I see so many different things on blogs that I stalk, er... follow, such as Weigh-In Wednesday, Friday Fatloss, and Supersizeme Sunday. Wait, not the last one. Anywho, I don't want the complete focus of my blog to be my weight loss, that's why I only want to do a weigh-in once a month. Yes, it is a part of me, and I am proud of it, but it's not what makes me, well, me. I'm more that just another diet success story, I'm a mom, student, wife, cook, all around awesome lady ;). It's not like I've been super consistent with it either, I'm just buckling down more here lately. So I'm going to make an attempt to weigh in monthly. I try to keep that scale hidden, I don't want to make standing on it a ritual. If so, I become obsessed and beat myself up. So that said... here it is:

Last month: 178.5 (The holidays happened!)
This month: 172.8 w00t!

I secretely had a goal to make 170 for my birthday coming up here on Wednesday, but 172.8 is good too and I'll take it! I do need to incorporate exercise into my routine. Working back to back 12s at the hospital has probably contributed (in an unhealthy way) to my weight loss this past month.

Goal for next month: Get some exercise in every week. Surely I can afford 30 minutes a day for 3 days out of the week. ?? Maybe not. We'll see!

A new do

The hubby and I trekked it out to the mall on Sunday since I needed a trim. I came out with some side-swept bangs. The waves are from my blowdryer this morning, it's not like that on it's own. Disreagard the poor quality of the pic, it's with my webcam and I'm trying to be incognito in the library.
