*~*not witty enough*~*

feeling like a girl again

new hair cut today:

 

getting my eyebrows waxed in about an hour.

man, i love being a girl!

hi

 

i can go down the water slide now. :)

excuse the sweat

one of my friends has taken pictures of herself during her weight loss process and it was cool to look at them along the way. i will copy her idea and hopefully when the scale is creeping, i can still see a difference with the photos. excuse my appearance. i just did a pilates mat class and then ran 2.7 miles. i sweat like a man. don't hate.

 

 

i wasn't going to post these, but i figure, no one really cares aside from me and everyone knows what i look like anyway, so what's the big deal? :)

right now: medium shirt, large shorts.

my shoes are a size 8.5. and my socks are just the general size. i'm just putting it all out there, although i don't really care if i lose weight in my feet.

i just weighed and omgosh batman! i'm a little in shock! i have lost a total of six pounds. i'm in the next series of "ten" weight bracket. five more pounds and i will be the smallest i have been (weight wise) since i've had jb, when i did ww the first time. i'm on cloud nine! YEA! YES!!!!!!!!!!! 

that just made posting those pictures soooo much better. wow! i can't even tell you how long it has been since i've weighed anywhere near this. i know it is only six pounds, but i've finally broken past the plateau. dear lord, please let it continue to come off!!!

it was the day of my birth

so, yesterday was my birthday. it was fabulous and the celebration continues! jb and i made strawberry cupcakes on friday night (just like pinkalicious) and we all swam in the pool when jsj got home. he gave me my bday present, which is awesometastic and involves a trip somewhere and art and i will tell you all about it later.

i'm so lucky! that asian lady was right.

yesterday, the anniversary of the day of my birth, we swam with my sister in law and my nephews in the morning. i peer pressured her a little bit, but honestly it wasn't hard since her other options were cleaning the house. swimming vs. cleaning the house. i didn't have to twist her arm too hard. :) and she got me the best presents! another kelly rae roberts print (yea! be still my heart again!!!) and this beautiful platter with a bird on it because i love birds so much. except in that movie, the birds, they kind of freak me out there.

 

thanks so much, becca! i love my presents!!! you are the best sister in law i've ever had!

then, jsj and jb and i loaded up and went to my family reunion where my sister led everyone in singing "happy birthday, dear julie" as loudly as they could. she got me the most beautiful handmade journal. thanks, sister! i love it!!!

jb got to swim in the lake while we were there and she loved every minute of it. then, we all came home and got in the pool and swam for most of the afternoon. we went to a new (new to us) pizza place for dinner, came home and put jb to bed and then jsj and i got into the pool again. i love night time swimming. so peaceful! and i sleep like a baby on the days i've been in the pool all day.

i got sweet texts and emails and im's and cards and phone calls from my friends and family. it was an awesome birthday!

we went to church this morning and are home now relaxing and tonight, jsj and i are going on a date to see grace potter and the nocturnals. i'm SO flippin' excited because i love her music. jsj has never heard of them, but i scored last year when i was telling him about missy higgins when we went to see ben folds in dallas. he had told me we were going to see ben folds and "some person named missy higgins is opening for him. never heard of her" and i'm like, OHMYGOSH!!!! MISSY HIGGINS!!!!! i love her! and so i was way more excited to see missy higgins live in concert than to see ben folds. no offense, ben, i love your music too. and now jsj is a converted missy higgins fan. so i'm hoping that i'll hit the jackpot again with grace potter and the nocturnals and he will once again realize what wonderful taste i have in music.

a video of grace for your viewing/listening pleasure:

and another, that makes me want to get up and dance!

next weekend is 4th of july and then the next week we are leaving for my bday present trip. any guesses as to where he's taking me and what i get to do???

i'm so lucky!

weekly update

i'll try not to bore you with my weight stuff, but keeping up with two blogs is too much which is why i never post on the other one anymore. :) i'll just post once a week on here with my runs and weigh in.

i lost three pounds on weight watchers this week. yea! i'm not getting too excited about it until i've lost more than 5 pounds though because i can lose five and then be at a stand still or gain a few pounds back and lose them again. i'm still at the weight i've been maintaining for over a year. if i can break past that five pound mark, i'll be celebrating for sure!

also, i ate bread this week. and ice cream. and chocolate. and i didn't go hungry. put that in your pipe and smoke it, doc.

sunday's run/walk...so hot outside, i turned around really early to come home and just walked most of the way shouldn't have gone in the heat.

monday i went to class at gym (step and weights)

tuesday's run

wednesday: off

today's run
