why did i wait so long?

wow, what wonderful comments you all give me!! I dont know how to thank you enouph. This is such a wonderful way to go through this journey, with people who are going through the same things and who give such great support :)  I didn’t post yesterday because I was reading “confessions of a carb queen” I went to books a million and just thought, you never know…they might have it! They did, only 2 copies. I snatched it up.  Once I started reading it, i couldn’t put it down.. What a good book. I laughed, I cried. I recommend it! I am done with it already. two days.   I think that is a record.   I can totally relate to so many things she talked about in that book.  Well, today I did another new class. I am enjoying the different atmosphere of the classes.  The elyptical and treadmill can become quite boring after 8-9 months of the same stuff. I did a half hour abs class today followed by a spin class.  This spin class was a regular class, not the beginners class. I am proud to say that I kept up quite well. I did modify a little bit. I did the whole class and am not even sore. I think i’ve found my new favorite work out :D  I am going to try a step class tomorrow.  when I was in my teens I use to do step classes all the time. they were so fun. Its almost like you are dancing.  I am excited about it.  I wish that the eating thing could be as easy for me as the exercise. oh well, I guess I should be thankful that I like the exercise so much.  I have been doing good with the eating too. sticking to my promise.  No, I wont be too disappointed if I dont reach my goal by x mas. I am proud of all that I’ve accomplished this far. I can’t expect perfection.  But i do need something to strive for. 220 it is ;)  we are taking the kids to see santa tonight, and going by some really pretty houses all lit up for christmas. Its hard to feel festive when just this morning I was laying out by my pool getting a tan in 85-90 degree weather, but I still feel like its christmas time, just with out the frost bite, scraping the ice off my car and 3 tons of clothes on my back . I think this will be the best christmas I’ve had in a long time.
