So this year, I will admit I was a very negative ninny. Instead of facing what had happened I buried it and made excuses.
So yesterday I reflected on what I am thankful for:
1. My Husband, For always believing I CAN and making me laugh
2. My Family, for always sticking by my side
3. The fact that I still have a Job and that Duane still has a job. With out our jobs we would lose our home and everything we hold dear.
4. My health, even though I lost the baby earlier this year I have for the most part been pretty healthy this year.
5. Friends, With out their encouragement and laughter I wouldn't have made it thru.
So what I'm proud of. I'm proud that I kept to what I say every year. "It's Thanksgiving so keep to portion size and just enjoy the food." Every year I fail because I just say what the heck I give in... but not this year. I am determined to change my life. I had a little bit of everything and only having to go to one house helped a lot. I felt satisfied that I got all my favorite foods. I also didn't feel like shiz at the end of the night. I can do this. I can make it thru the holidays with out overdoing it!

My 100th post!!
Guess being consistent with posting has paid off. I'm now on my 100th post!
Weight wise really not much has changed. But I can say that I have remained the same so can't be totally negative.
My husband and I have pretty hefty goals for next year and we are starting with baby steps now. No this isn't a "Resolution" as it will be a life change. Hopefully we will never be looking back.
Starting next week we are doing something simple. We are getting up about an hour and a half before we have to leave for work and just actually GET OUR BUTTS out of bed. We are going to make sure we get a nutritious breakfast each day. This is something I neglect often and that is going to stop. Starting Dec 1st we are going to add in some exercise each morning. We will also add in a few things at night thru out the week.
We are both not happy with our bodies and it's time that we both support each other and do it. He even said I can be as hard on him as I can to get him to push harder. And if anyone knows me... no, I mean really knows me I can be pretty ruthless.
His main goal next year is to fit into a super hero costume (yes I'm talking spandex people) and I know he can do it!
My goal is to finally get out of the 300's and close to getting out of the 200's. My focus is no longer on trying to have a family... don't choke! doesn't mean I'm going to do anything to prevent it. It just means I'm done counting and calculating. I want to start living again. Put my efforts on something I can control.
So wish us well. I would say Luck but it's our own efforts that will help and luck has nothing to do with it.
Thanks to my loyal fans that read my blog. I will still try to at least blog every other week as we go along.

Why I failed
*I make myself promises and I don't keep them
*I look at my ultimate goal rather then small ones
*I don't give myself the time
*I make excuses for why I don't stay on track
*I am so full of medication right now trying to concieve that it's hard to regulate my emotions
*I tend to think that I don't have time to count every calorie I'd rather just live and get done at work what I need to
*I have enough stress with work that my homelife needs to be as simple as possible
Until I can kick these items... I don't believe I will succeed.
