One Month Down

Just thought I'd update everyone a bit on what's been going on around here. My parents were down visiting this weekend and helped us move an outlet in our bathroom and also helped us chop wood. I feel like we got a ton done and also got to meet up with Granny and Gramps for dinner on Saturday night. We went to a local fish house "The Depot", and it was SO good! We all had a fun time.

I have started my "diet" again. I hate that word, but at this point, who am I kidding! I let myself go and now I have to fix that. SO, last year I lost a total of 20 pounds then took a break from June to December. Now that my sister is getting married in July, I want to lose the last of my chubbiness. I've lost another 4 pounds since the beginning of January. I now only have 9 more pounds until my final goal weight. It seems so much more attainable now that it's only 9! Hopefully I can continue after that but I'm not going to put pressure on it. If it happens, then it will happen. I hate the fact that I gain weight in my belly. Why can't I just have like one fat toe or something? Anyway, I will do it. I mean, I assume I'll get married one day and I don't want to be a fat bride. And I assume I'll have kids one day and I don't want to be a giant pregnant lady. SO that's my motivation. I can do it!

Rissy and Duke are as naughty as ever. Rissy threw up 4 times yesterday. Poor thing. Her hips seem to be doing good. Actually probably feeling better than she has in awhile. And Duke, well, Duke is Duke. Getting stingier by the day. Love them though! I think our cat Diesel wants a kitty sister so I'm working on that. Trying really hard to convince Colin. I'm going to be one of those crazy cat ladies one day with like 52 cats, and Colin will have like 37 dogs. Haha.

In a couple weeks we're meeting my family in Canon Beach, and we can't wait to go! We have a house rented out for 3 whole nights! This weekend also lies on a big NASCAR race and Superbowl. Should be a great time!!! Hope everyone is having a great 2010 so far!
