losing weight

ok, so i know that i am not pregnant, and have not had a baby, BUT i want to lose weight! :)
after my miscarriage three years ago i started gaining weight and well i am proud of myself for not gaining much weight for the majority of our marriage (except to fill out as a woman) but even so i want to get back to that weight. i wont say what i weigh now... but it's not that bad. and luckily i have a lot of muscle. i will say this. i was at a size 12 in January and now can fit into most size 8's, so i am very proud of myself. i say most size 8's because everywhere you go clothes fit differently. i want to just tone up and lose some lbs. before the holidays hit and before i do get pregnant! my dr. said that it's a great start and losing another 15 will be great for me. so i am excited. i am trying the special k challenge and of course the old weight watchers theory, smaller portions! i dont pig out, and dont always finish my food and i have found that helps. i order water instead of sodas and i drink lots of it! so for those of you that think i have a small bladder it's not true! i just drink a lot! and that's a great thing to do!

ok so other than that not much else is going on. Dennis and i have started doing some Christmas shopping, since we have so many to shop for it's nice to get a head start on things. i spoke to my friend that lives near our old house in conroe and she said she is usually all done by October 1st every year! but because they are starting a business she is not done yet. hahahaahaha that's hilarious. i wish i could say that! she doesnt have as many to shop for but she does what i have always wanted to do. she sees something for someone and buys it. i want to get into that routine. one day! i do hate how commercialized Christmas is, but believe me i never forget and i will always thank Jesus for what He did for us. He was the ulitmate gift to us and we must never forget that...
God bless!
