First, im not going to even tell you what today is! Oh how glad I am that Friday is here Yesturday after one, I went and exercised and relaxed the whole day. Of course I wasn't at home relaxing, but I went to the book store, caught up on some reading and it was just a no-rushed Thursday. Today I have my doctors appointment so we will see how that goes!
Its so cold!!! *shivering* I didn't think the rain and winds and cold weather was going to hit like this! But they said by Saturday we are supposed to get back to the 70's! I know weird!
In other things, when I came home last night I was checking my emails and when I started to read all the comments about me being on the homepage! I was shocked and excited!!! I knew it was coming, I just didn't know exactly when!!! Its funny to see yourself pop up on their I still can't believe it! I told my whole family about it and they were laughing because I made it seem like the end of the world! Well, I told them this is big news to me! I was very excited and heck I still am!!! <------ This is how I look right now!!! Excited and proud!
Last night dinner was awesome! I remembered why I love Mimi's Cafe so much! I ordered the 1/2 roasted turkey sandwich with a side of fruit! LOVED IT! Only I forgot to ask without mayo, but don't panic, I just scraped it all off! Afterwards I went back to my sister's house and she had made this chocolate cake. I didn't want any that was until I stepped in the kitchen and their it was this beautiful layer of chocolate cake....mmmmm. There are no words to describe it! I took a piece, but I didn't feel guilty at all for taking it like I would have done in th past. I was treating myself and the good thing is I know when to stop. Before I could of eaten the whole thing, I stopped and controled myself!
Alrighty, im to go and check on you all! Thank you so much for all the countless support you guys give me. It means the world to me and I just wanted to say I love you all, and im glad to have you all! Thank you!
Have a wonderful Friday!!!!

Thank you...
for the reminder to NEVER, EVER give up : ) Yea... and about those jellybeans? Tough to eat them, tough to pass them up! Glad you've had a great week. Hope all is well at the doctors. Like you... I am so glad IT IS FRIDAY!! Congrats on the home page... you look M-A-R-V-E-L-O-U-S!!!
Well, look at you! You must be so proud - and rightfully so. You are an inspiration for everyone here at EP who don't think they can become healthy and fit. Congratulations!
It's funny you asked if we're going to both parks because I didn't even know there were two parks until a day or two ago! Yes, we will be going to both parks because our Disneyland passes allow us to go between them! Yippeee!!! I'm so excited! I don't really know what it's going to be like because there have probably been many changes in almost 15 years.
I'm glad you really took the time to enjoy and not feel guilty about the cake. It's ok to indulge and have goodies here or there! I went out and bought those jellybeans I was craving and separated them all out into mini baggies per serving size. I even divided the colors out evenly. I know, I'm nuts.
Its been a while since I have been over here to visit!! I L-O-V-E your new blog design!!!! Love it!

hope the doctor's visit went well
you will have to update us with just how shocked and pleased the doctor was with your visit! i'm sure your results will be better than positive.
about the sushi - i just started trying it in the past year or so. i tried tuna and hated it; it is way too fishy for me! never got to trying the raw eel or octopus... i recommend when/if you're feeling adventurous to try it again that you pick something more mainstream, like california rolls (love 'em, even though sushi experts would call them "low-brow" and probably sneer) or smoked salmon, crab, or (cooked) shrimp. i love smoked salmon rolls! if you're just not a fish person, they do have all veggie rolls too that are pretty tasty!
Alexia, hon you are my inspiration. The pic of you in the sweater sitting at the counter, reminded me so much of myself. The hair, the glasses, the smile. I'm gonna have to look for some more of my before pics, I'd love for you to see some when I had brown hair, I have glasses nearly identical to the ones your wearing. And the comment that you left me today- left me in tears. (LOL we are just having an emotional cryfest today huh?) It's ok, we girls need a good cry every now and then. I came to EP looking for inspiration, motivation, and encouragement and your blog was one of the first ones I read. I just kept looking at your pics over and over, I could see the difference in each phase you went through, it was like watching a butterfly come out of it's cocoon and looking at the world for the first time. I read so many encouraging and positive words from your blog. That's when I made up my mind and decided to stick around and see what else was going on- here on EP. And because of you, I have met some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of "meeting" on this site. You are one of them!! You are an amazing young woman and your spirit just lifts us all up even when we aren't having the greatest day. You are a force Alexia, no matter what you choose to do in life you'll be a resounding success at it!! I am so honored you you consider me your friend! Thank you, so much.
I hope that you have a great weekend!! Let us know how your doctors visit went. I bet you got a glowing review!
Keep on rockin' it!
~Tink~ P.S. I love the pears, they're so crunchy looking LOL. Oh and you did wonderful on the chocolate cake (my personal favorite) I had cake too this past Tuesday, but the one I had a piece of was a whipped cream icing birthday cake, it was very good. I had 1 small piece and I was content, I didn't need or want anymore.
You sound like you had a really nice Thursday by reading your book and having a piece of chocolate cake. I enjoyed reading your blog and hope you continued to do so for those who are still trying to reach their goal. You're an inspiration to us here.
You definitely earned being on the front page of EP!! You rock!! Keep up the good work, I think you are right to weigh periodically to keep things in check.
