We had the Babe's birthday party and a host of other birthday exploits last weekend. Of course, we ate ourselves into oblivion, but I didn't do as much damage as I thought. Now, TOM is on the way and I'm feeling uber bloated. Oh, well. I'm still on the path and I'm slowly working in activity (walks with the kids, mostly). I hope to be back in full aerobic swing, soon. The basement is almost done. Then, we can take our poor treadmill and eliptical trainer out of dust and mothbolls. They really need a workout themselves.

Phew! I must really be determined. I'm down to a lovely 179 today. Can you believe it? The workouts haven't even kicked into full effect yet. This is strictly me taking control of my portions again. I must have been eating like a damn pig! Well, I've experienced a few hunger pangs, but not many (in fact, I'm thinking it's almost time for my light popcorn). Hubby wanted to go to the park for a stroll, but we ended up hanging out at the house watching his burned copy of 300 until it started freaking out on us and completely stopped playing. Nice.

In other news, here are my goal shoes again. They are located on the designer's site for many dollars more than I want to pay but, oh! They are truly what I want. I also purchased a cute little baby doll top for my trip South next month. It's one of those that could double as a dress, but we'll see how it looks when I try it on (probably in the next couple of weeks).

Fast forward two hours...

Eating my popcorn now...I've got the jitters. Could be the Lipton Instant White Tea I've been inhaling for the past little while. Caffeine and I are just not friends.

It's a new day and I'm trying to get back on track. The lummox is out of my house, the basement is almost done and I'll soon have the treadmill and elliptical trainer at my disposal again. I'm looking forward to it...sort of. Let's say that I'm looking forward to getting back into shape and fitting into my clothes properly again. I'm only up about five pounds and I can tell. When I look at my face in the mirror, or when I try to put on some form fitting items? My ass is spreading again and I don't like it. Today, I plan to do a little something (start off slow) and take it from there. I'm currently sitting at 181 and after the summer I've had, I'm surprised it's not more than that.

Goals are still in place, I think. Unfortunately, the shoes I want are no longer available on the discount site and I'm not sure I'm willing to pay over $40.00 for them (when the time comes).
