Easter

Well today is Easter and the first time I have seen some people since I have started doing my 13 week challenge, I am changing it to that, bc "life style change" seems to be so nice and lovely and this is hard!

It was very sweet of everyone to tell me how great they thought I was doing. =) It really did help! Deep down inside, I just wanted to pile on some mac and cheese, German potato salad, meat of all sorts and cheese!!

But instead I enjoyed veggies and fruit. I think it helped a lot that my throat was hurting so I wasn't feeling like eating much anyways. Well on Thursday I got some big news! We are done with our 13 weeks on April 30th!! This was SO exciting bc I thought it was going to be May 14th before we were done with this phase!!

I keep telling Kevin that I want eat a breakfast buffet, a buffalo wrap from cheddars and some BLT dip. =) He tells me I am crazy and that I would gain 10 pounds back fast if I eat all that. I told him that maintenance will Begin the following week, so I am not going to go all out crazy, but I may have a special something =).

I am going to get off here and snuggling up on the couch to get some rest.

Hope you all had a great Easter!!

Have a great day and night!

Love,
Em

Stressed

I haven't been writing on my blog for the fact that I have been stressed and the last thing I have been wanting to do is get on here. I have been asked by a few people about my lack of blogging, so I thought since me being stressed is part of this 13 weeks then I should blog about it, so here it goes.

I think it all hit me all of the sudden. I am completely unhappy at work, which in turn has been causing me to be more stressed and on edge. By the time the weekend rolls around I dont want to go out and doing anything. I just want to sleep.

I have been working out a lot more lately because its the one thing that I actually feel good about, wants I am done with it. ( oh and if I weigh myself in the morning and I loose 2 more pounds, I will have lost 30 since Jan-I will keep you posted.)

After a long talk on Friday with a very wise woman, I realized I needed to take my life back. I need to be happy, and I shouldn't have to give up things that I have been. If that means I need to make changes, then those changes are going to have to be made.

I have become the person who has allowed to be walked over, and I am NOT that person.

I know this isn't my typical up beat post, but this is how I am feeling at this moment in time. Remember we all have the strength inside to make our selves happy, if we choose to use that strength, is the question.

Have a great day and night!

Love,
Em
