Weight

It's amazing, well it is to me. How our mind works, for me it's not until I see pictures of myself that I really see what others see.

Since the first of the year I have my mind set on reaching my goal weight. I am still 10lbs away from my goal, but I can't believe after looking at these pictures how far I have come.




I can say I am the smallest I have ever been in my adult life, for me this is hard work considering I have PCOS. I have learned to love working out and eating right, and I have lost a total of 55lbs doing so. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy my favorite foods, but I know when to stop.

The thing about this is even though I am wearing a size 6-8, I still feel that I am big and I can not get that out of my mind. Even when I look in the mirror I don't see the person in the bottom picture, I see my old big self.

Have any of you gone through this? How do you over come it?

Around the house....

I have come to wonder about the people who lived there before us. Small things have come to my attention about their taste for things. I know after living in this house for three years it's time to do some updates. The thing that gets me is why has it taken three years for this to hit me?

Take for instants the chandelier in our dining area, UGLY! Now you go and ask my mom she would tell you a different story. I am for sure going to change it out very soon, but I can't decide on what I want to put in its place. I have really thought about doing a couple wall sconces; however my husband is not excited about that idea. I can hear most women now, it's your kitchen or dining room why does it matter what your husband likes. It just does to me, and I want us to agree on what we are going to replace it with.

In the past week my husband changed out all our doorknobs, so I think we will have to get moving on this idea of getting down the dreaded chandelier. Guess you can say we are making small updated changes around our house.

Music - Pretty Little Liars

How does music make you feel? It's amazing how music can brighten your day just by listening to an upbeat song. Or how about hearing a song that has lyrics that just rip your heart out and make you cry. I think most of us have a songs that do this to us and it's great that we can say that we can listen to a song and connect to it in some way.

On my own iPod you will find a mix of music:
  1. All I want to do by Sugarland
  2. True Colors by Cindy Lauper
  3. If I die Young by The Band Perry
  4. The Rose by Bette Midler
  5. Piano Man by Billy Joel
