Brief update

Well I haven't been too good about posting on the blog. I have been in another funk lately. I need a vacation and luckily I am going on one very soon thanks to my job. One of the winners of the trip to Sandals in Jamacia was unable to go so Garin and I get to take his place! I'm not sure how I feel about leaving Ben with Grandma and Grandpa for that long - 4 nights, 5 days, but I am looking forward to a vacation! I know they probably won't do or listen to a word we say when it comes to taking care of him. Plus if he cries when we drop him off I know it will break my heart. I have to keep telling myself that it is okay to leave him for a few days and take some time for us. I know Garin & I definitely need and deserve this time together.

Other than being in a funk there is not too much going on besides the usual mundane daily routine. I have lost weight though so I am very excited about that. The first week was hard because I felt like I was starving all day long but after that it got easier. I have lost 12 pounds to date and will hopefully lose at least another 10 by the time we go on our trip. I am loving Weight Watchers. I am looking at foods in a totally different way it's amazing. Plus it's so easy because as long as I stay within my point allowance I can't go wrong. Plus I eliminate the risk of damaging my thyroid more by starving myself like I used to do to lose weight! Now I just need to get my butt on the Bowflex and start getting my muscle back!
