It's busy time!

I apologize for my lack of posting over the past couple of weeks. On December 10th, I became an Auntie and have been very preoccupied with helping my sister in Dallas and celebrating my 32nd birthday.

I just got on the scale and it says I've lost 24 lbs. I am not sure if I believe that or not. It seems like a lot of weight to lose in a short period of time. I am definitely getting used to eating smaller portions and eating SLOW. While in Dallas, my mom's "companion" commented on how slow I was eating - almost as slow as my mom! (those of you who know my mom know she's the slowest eater, EVER!)

The rest of the healing process is going well. I received a coupon in the mail last week for a free 1 hour session with a personal trainer and am hoping to schedule that for tomorrow or early next week. This should get me motivated to work out on a regular basis as well as giving me the tools for a successful work out regimen!

My dad commented that he could already tell that I have lost a lot of weight, which makes me feel really good! I am sure that people who see me less often will notice more than those who see me on a daily basis and for some reason I take it as more of a compliment when someone who hasn't seen me in a few months mentions that they can tell a difference. I'm also very shy about accepting compliments on how I look. I know by the way my clothes fit that I am losing weight but when I look in the mirror I see all of the rolls and my 500 chins so it just doesn't seem right!!! Over the next few weeks, I am going to work on accepting compliments seriously and not rolling my eyes when someone says something favorable to me.

So there you have it. I may not be back until after Chrismukkah and if I'm not...HAPPY HANUKKAH, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY KWANZA!
