First we start with the heavy stuff. :( I have not written much because life has gotten very heavy. We have some very important and hard family drama we are focusing on, which is keeping me busy, but I am still watching what I eat and making it to the gym.
I DID binge on some candy yesterday. I gave in and bought a few of those cream easter eggs, you know, the flavored ones like maple and raspberry. I have a few of those and over two days managed to consume 4 of the three musketeer coconut bars. As far as a candy bar goes, at less than 200 calories, they aren't awful, but not when you eat 4 of them. In my defense, I did share one with the kids... so make that 3 of them.
Better stuff: Chandlers birthday was yesterday! My big boy is 7. When he was born, he was a whopping 9 lbs 11 ounces. He is still so tall but very thin as the autism causes him his own eating issues. We are working on it though. His birthday party is on Saturday. Baby Mandy is coming over to help us make Angry Birds cupcakes. As long as I ice all of them I will be fine. Unfrosted white cake is far more dangerous to me than frosted white cake.
Now on to the good!!! I tossed the scale this month (it was on the fritz anyway) so I do not have a weight but I know that the gym work is paying off. Last month I made myself a skirt for the pinup class I did with Mandy. Because of this I know my waist was 47 inches. (ouch)
Tonight I was thinking about making another skirt for my sisters wedding this weekend, and I measured my waist at a lovely 45 inches. That is a loss of two whole inches!!! I am also down one inch under my bust around my ribs!! This makes me so happy. Even if I am working my butt off, something is happening and it is starting to show its self. This is GREAT motivation for me. When I think I cannot do it, I realize I AM!!!
