Pretty Good Week!
Overall this turned into a pretty good week! Rocky start, but it evened out! I've had pretty good workouts this week (and haven't missed any!) I'm starting to feel less fat (in my head I know!) Tuesday was my worst day when cookies somehow made their way into my hands and in my mouth. Who put them there? How did that happen? Must have been one of the rebellious characters that I have within. I think it was Veronica..she's always rocking the boat! Anyway...I feel pretty good and think the scale will be more kind this week even with several cheats on Tuesday and having my free day earlier than usual. I feel energized and good about the upcoming week...and getting our new home gym is getting closer! It should be here on January 11th, but I'm not sure how long it will take us to put it together. It looks complicated to assemble!I had one of the best birthdays this year. We didn't do anything really..and maybe that's why it was so cool! Bobby and I stayed home, layed around, watched Dancing with the Stars, marveled at how awesome Bev is, and then hit our workout. No kids, no work for a change, just relaxing!
Bobby got me the EFL book! Yeeaaah! Of course it was no surprise since I've been telling him it's the only thing I wanted! What was so funny was he asked me if I was ready for my birthday present, and when I said yes..he pointed three feet to my right at a gift bag I kept forgetting to take downstairs to put in storage and says, "well, there you go!" Uh? It was sitting right here next to the computer all week? lol. Touche'. That was my payback for wrapping one of his Christmas presents right in front of him without him realizing it! My two kids came over for a few minutes to give me a present from them. They did so good! Bobby and I had rented the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith last weekend and absolutely loved it! So they got me the DVD, actually in a two pack with another DVD with Angelina Jolie in it. My co-workers spoiled me too. My desk was covered in streamers and over a dozen balloons when I walked in. They got me my favorite, to-die-for carrot cake (like no other I've ever tried!) and my boss took me out to lunch. That meant a lot to me as she's had a real rough time of it lately and has been out of the office to be with her dad who is in intensive care. I have been covering both my job and hers, but she made sure she was in the office yesterday.
Birthdays never meant a lot to me. As a child, most of my birthdays were spent in the bars, and sadly, my mother didn't even know when my birthday was. One year she told me "Happy Birthday" in July. I just looked at her and said, "it's not my birthday." "Well, when is it then?" When I told her January 5th, she just shrugged and said, "well I knew it was one of those "J" months!" So I never celebrated my birthday. Until Bobby came into my life. It just amazes me at how just having the right person in your life can your perception of so many things! I am a completely different person than I was several years ago. No more mood swings, no more self loathing, no more hating myself. I am so grateful and happy to be exactly where I am!
