Today is a very good day for a couple of reasons. The first one being is that my precious son is 4 today. I cannot believe it has been 4 years since he came into this world and totally changed mine, but it has. He is a very loving, thoughtful and silly child and he makes our life so interesting. We asked him what kind of party he wanted & he chose to go to "Toto" (Kyoto) and come back home to open presents with his family. He loves his family and it makes my heart happy that he wants to spend it with just us & his grandparents. I got him a "spongebob" cupcake cake and took it to his school so he could have some kind of party. His teachers are so nice & were very accomodating & that means a lot. Nonnie & Bop Bop were there and Connor was so excited to have us there. His diddy had to work or that would've made it a perfect day. Afterwards, the grandparents took him to Toys R Us to let him pick out something from Bop Bop. Tonight we will go to Mt. Fuji (just like Kyoto but better, he's a kid so his taste buds aren't as refined as the adults') and we'll come home for leftover Spongebob cupcakes & presents.
The other reason that today is a very good day is that it was my first weigh in at Weight Watchers & I lost 6 1/2 pounds!! I was a little worried because some days I didn't eat all that I was allowed, plus exercising, so it could've backfired on me. For me, it's a fine line between eating too much and not eating enough. I love to Zumba & I don't "eat" the points I earn from that, to me it's a waste of time to gobble up what I've burned off thru exercise. Now I have to go ahead and get it in my head & be OKAY with the fact that next week, and possibly the next few weeks, I may not have a loss. I've done WW several times & usually when I have an awesome first week, my body takes its sweet time adjusting to the changes I'm making. I just have to know without a doubt that I am doing good and the right things and to not feel discouraged if that scale doesn't move like I think it should.
Marathon Makeover started this past Saturday & I am really excited to get into that. We have a 5k coming up in March, right around the corner!!
Have a blessed & happy day, much love!
