Celebrations
Last Thursday, my twins turned 13 years old. I officially have 3 teenagers in the house now. Have mercy! Please take a moment of silence for my lost sanity. It shall be missed. **pause** LOL Anyway, their daddy had to attend class on their actual birthday so we decided to delay the "real" party. Instead, I took all the kids out for lunch, then baked a family favorite desssert. I also took the twins to the store to get some nailpolish & lipgloss, and then over to see a good friend of ours. On Friday, their daddy & I took the twins out for lunch. Then I took them shopping for a new outfit & over to a friend's house again. On Saturday, another meal out! Plus, time at the park to burn off some spare energy for the kids. We also had the official birthday party & cake! Phew! No wonder my weight loss is stalled?!
So here we are almost done with another week & I am still struggling. Craving sweet stuff & doing my best to avoid it. I've been to Curves -but didn't work out as hard as I can/should, but hey, at least I went? I know, sounds lame to me, too.
On a brighter note, I'm still walking daily. I have walked 12 miles so far this week, averaging about 4 miles a night. Pretty sure that's the only thing keeping the weight gain away! I was talking to a friend on the phone last night while I was walking. He was talking about motivation & willpower. I was moaning about not really having either. Then he asked what I was doing right then. EH duh? He already knew I was walking, that was included in the moaning & groaning about no willpower & the fact that I didn't want to be walking... but I was doing it anyway...but that doesn't count, because I walk every night whether I want to or not.....oh wait.... so I guess maybe I do have a little willpower & motivation after all? Hmmm... fancy that? Now that's worth celebrating! *No cake though!* 
Best wishes!
