Off scale successes!

I'm going to start a page to chronicle my off scale successes... Cause I had a pretty big one today!

I jogged! Okay, 'just' for 60 seconds, and the just another 30. But I did it! I honestly didn't think I could and that feels great!

Ok, still at the gym, doing leg curls now - back to it!

A lot has changed in the past year. We moved from Oregon back to Florida.  I feel like a person split between two homes.  I love being back near my family, and I enjoy working in the location I'm in now, but, I miss the life I had, and the people who were in my life back in Oregon.  We haven't found our niche here. We did something we've always wanted to do - we became Disney Annual Passholders.  I love it.  We've already used our passes several times in the few months since we've gotten them and have two more trips planned in the next two months or so.  It feels great to be in a place in our lives that we can do something like this, when it seemed so far out of our reach a few years ago. Recently, this weekend actually, I also have learned that another family member has had bariatric surgery (several years ago)..  I'm going to be contacting his office this week to schedule an appointment as soon as they can see me, and my schedule permits, which...

Overcoming...

I wasn't sure how to finish the title of this post. Overcoming setbacks, overcoming negative self image, overcoming life... any of these and so many more fit. It's been a hard week or so. My 33rd birthday came and went.  Didn't celebrate on the day of like I had planned, but I was able to celebrate a few days later with friends at a party here at my home.  I honestly felt amazing having friends here to celebrate my day. Food wise, it's not been a good week.  Friday for my birthday I ate lots of party food and there were homemade margaritas.  Saturday for the duck game and lunch there was nacho's and dip, then pizza for dinner and lots of alcohol.  Yesterday there was a food indulgence that I'm still trying to get my mind around.  I didn't want it, it wasn't good, but I had it any how. Working out wise, I've been terrible.  Last week I worked out twice.  It was so hot I couldn't bring myself to do it.  Still haven't gotten back on th...

Holidays

Holiday's are always a hard time for me to be away from my family.  While we aren't a particularly close family, we did always come together around holiday's and spend time together.  Being 3000+ miles away obviously inhibits that from happening. An Easter tradition in my immediate family is to go to Swenson's for lunch.  This started when my sister Kristina would give up ice cream for lent, and then want only the best on Easter when she could indulge again.  Not sure if they are doing it this year, but I wish I was there to make sure they did!  My favorite lunch from there is the sourdough cheeseburger, it's crusted grilled using a parmesan spread that's to die for!  Their fries are also amazing... thick cut steak house style fries, that my family always leaves to eat with our ice cream.  There's just something about the soft potato inside and the crispy fry exterior mixed with the sweet ice cream that's a match made in heaven.  Oh...
