let the sunshine in...

..and face it with a grin.

i am feeling a bit more positive about things today.  getting out of bed was still a challenge, but it is friday and i think that has lit a small fire under me.

i joined two weight loss challenges today.  one is on the Destination Wedding message board i frequent, and the other is on the GDT.  i think anything to keep me accountable and feeling competetive about my losses is a good thing.

C also picked up a few groceries on the way home from work lastnight which means i can get back to my regular delicious breakfasts (which really helps me to stay on track i think)....so i have a few things in my corner today.

work is still quiet and depressing, but i should be using this time to get some advertising together.  people aren't going to call me randomly, i have to start looking for them.  i need to stop sitting back and hoping that things will fall into my lap.

today was my weigh-in day and i came in at 245.5lbs.  not great, but not terrible either.  i need to get below that 243 again and it will be smooth sailing i think.  i have been contemplating what kind of exercise i might actually look forward to - and i think i need to track down an aquafit class or something.  i am a total water baby, and i think i would really enjoy that.  it sucks not having anyone to go with, but maybe i would make friends.  i will look into this today.

i would love to get back into running, but i am so heavy i think i might hurt myself, so i will wait until i am down a few more pounds.

it is going to be a gorgeous day and a gorgeous weekend (19-20C) so i hope to get out there and enjoy it with C.  no sitting on the couch for us!

thank you friday for putting a smile on my face!
