1. My kids and fiance - As always. I don't know what I'd do with my life if it wasn't for these marvellous people. The boys aren't really babies any more. Day by day they grow more independent. James vocabulary is rather extensive for a child of his age. Liam has his top two teeth coming through as well as his bottom ones. Matthew is about to finish year 1 at school. 4 school days until 6 weeks school holidays and I will have a son in year 2. Fiance - just cos he's who he is and supports me just by being there when I need him.
2. Shrinkage - Somehow I have managed to get my weight down SIXTY pounds. I am now ten pounds away from my dream goal for my wedding. The one I thought would be a lovely idea but thought was probably an unrealistic challenge. Five weeks today will be my wedding day, 2lb a week is on par and I am feeling confident. I just have to keep up my good work.
I wont pretend I haven't worked for it, I've learnt to become diciplined with food. I no longer eat through boredom (not that often anyway) I watch what I eat, how much I eat and I indulge myself every now and then. I walk around 90 minutes a day on school runs alone and I enjoy it. It may not be much, I may be too worn out to cycle most days but my eating is under control and I am winning a lifelong battle. So, yeah, I am pleased with myself.
3. I am back on speaking terms with my mum - We saw each other earlier in the week. We spoke normally. No mention of issues from either of us. No apologies either but talking is progress.
4. Extended honeymoon - We have booked a further two nights on our honeymoon. We are now going on the Sunday afternoon rather than early Monday morning (early as in 3am so we'd have had a babysitter overnight anyway) and stopping halfway between here and our honeymoon destination in Bristol. It will then only be a 4 hour journey when we do leave. Then when we were meant to come back on the Thursday evening, we're coming back Friday daytime. I love the kids more than life itself and it will be very strange not having them for 5 nights, but I'm only gonna get one honeymoon and I think I deserve a break after the stress of the past few months.
5. The wedding: Have I said that in 5 weeks time (at EXACTLY this time I add) I will be saying my vows and looking like a princess!!!
Way to go on losing 60 lbs!! You are almost there- so excciting! It's nice that you are taking a moment to think about what makes you happy- it's easy to take things for granted.
