259th Entry - 1/5/13

I got a reminder in my e-mail that I haven't posted here in awhile. Yes, it has been a few months. Happy New Year!

Christmas is over but the only decorations that are down are the outside ones. Our inside looks the same but the tree is starting to drop ornaments, which means its starting to go.

The holidays were nice. Got a few things I wanted, but not all. I really wanted a Wii Fit so I can exercise some at home but it didn't happen. Maybe for my birthday. I did get 2 more Dept. 56 Christmas Carol buildings and Ron got me a train for under the tree...that was fun! I have been wanting a working train for years. I also got a new coat, a couple Hallmark ornaments, a little candy (thank heaven not as much as last year!), and some Swarovski jewelry...beautiful! DD got me a digital food scale I wanted. I really like it.

I have lost a total of 42 pounds so far and am a perfect size 14, down from an 18/20. I know a lot of women started OUT at a size 14 but right now its nice. But I am far from finished. Still have 18 more pounds till I reach my major goal and then will reevaluate. I may decide to lose 10 more pounds and that's fine but will cross that bridge when I get there. I am looking pretty good in clothes but my age is affecting what I look like without. My belly has dimpled fat and so do my legs. I sure hope that goes away later on. Don't care so much about the belly as I do my legs...I will look like HELL in a bathing suit at this point. But I am not discouraged. I think things will work out.

I have been keeping my sugar readings under control by keeping my sugar intake down. Sounds logical...right? Well, I thought that keeping my carbs low would be the answer. Truth is, as important as counting carbs is, I can actually eat more carbs and still have lower sugar readings as long as I keep my sugar down. Of course, the holidays are LOADED with sugar so I did have days when I went over, but now its back to cases again and I be fine. I did buy some sugar free candy, which tastes pretty good, and I have a piece of that once in awhile. But I do indulge on occasion if I can fit it in my numbers.

Ron is usually very upbeat for Christmas and this year was NO exception. But there were some differences. He seems a more physically reachable, which is a new thing. He doesn't mind now if I come sit on the couch next to him and he actually puts his arm around me. And he will snuggle more with me in bed. He has been kissing me more, too....just more all around physically attentive. I don't know if he is fooling around with anyone or not but I am wondering if maybe he decided it wasnt a good idea and prefers me. I know he loves the weight loss....thinks I am more sexy than ever. I haven't been obsessing about the down low thing like I was before. I cant really check up on him...I have to try and trust him. I do love him...and I know he loves me. And that will have to be enough.

DD was down for Christmas....DS and DIL didn't come because DIL hasn't been feeling well with the pregnancy. I think she has changed her mind about having 4 kids...sounds like 2 will be the max. I am kinda glad to hear that. She is trying to be all green and that's fine but I hope if I give her things that aren't that she is going to be insulted. She wants wooden toys and I got news for her...a rattle is about the only wooden toy she will find for an infant...everything else is plastic. When they get a little older, you can find more wooden stuff like blocks and puzzles and pull toys. Oh...and they know what sex the baby is but aren't telling. My DD knows but is sworn to secrecy. Oh well...I don't really get it but its their baby.

Well, its nearly 11:30 and I have to get a good night's sleep. Next entry I hope to be even thinner and close to my goal. :)
