Goal Update
I am still battling this stupid food poisoning, but if I don't do something productive I am going to fall asleep. That wouldn't be a bad thing except both Caleb and Emily are wide awake and I am home alone with them. Therefore, I decided to give you guys an update on my goals.
Strangely enough, I am maintaining a healthy weight because I can't eat anything. Not exactly what I had in mind, but I figure I can seriously begin working on that when I get over this stuff. I wanted to also explain why I didn't put a number down for my goal weight. I refuse to own a scale for one reason. I become obsessed with weighing myself several times per day if there is one in the house. Because of that, I banned scales from my home almost five years ago. I have no clue what I weigh, I refuse to look when I go to the doctor. For me, a healthy weight is when I feel good in my clothes. I do not "diet", but instead try and eliminate the empty calories from my day to day eating. For me, I feel less like I am denying myself something I really want and have far more success in maintaining a healthy weight. If I want that piece of chocolate, I have it. One piece, not twenty. That is what works for me and that is why you will never see me put a number down.
I actually finished the list so I am now down to 100 things to do. Go me!!
Garrett graduates in May and Matt is hoping that he can fly out with me to attend. That would accomplish two things on my list. Seeing my oldest graduate high school and Matt finally meeting my mother. I might need to start therapy now so I can be prepared for that fiasco. I have one very protective husband and one very controlling mother. This could prove to be interesting.
I am in the starting phase of writing our love story. It is more than a bit different than most of the others, so I am a bit nervous to put it all out there, but I shall in time.
Tax money is coming and that is going to pay off the credit cards and hopefully purchase a second car without having to finance one.
The It's My Heart Foundation is having their annual walk in February and I am seriously considering being a virtual walker. It is held in Houston so there is no way that I can attend, but I can still raise some funds by virtual walking. Every dime counts and I want to begin working toward my thousand dollar goal.
So for now that is about it. One down and six in the works.
Have a great weekend. Oh, and GO CHARGERS!!!

Ahahah, my cousin is a big Chargers fan. Sounds like you're doing great, keep it up!
I agree completely with the numbers on the scale! I have always felt the same way. (I felt like I had to give myself numbers though, otherwise I would never get there! I wish I had more discipline in maintaining my weight. I am still very slowly gaining. boo.)
That would be awesome if both you and Matt could go to Garrett's graduation. I hope you dont need therapy from it!!
Awesome progress so far!
@der_lila_Stern@xanga - I totally understand the need to put a number down. I just know I would become obsessed about that stupid number and totally self destruct. I have watched my mother battle a serious weight problem my entire life and I think that is what has me so cautious about setting myself up to fail. That and my absolute hatred of scales. LOL
We should know by the end of January if Matt will be attending. I am hoping that we can go as a family.
