It’s my Birthday and I’ll lose if I want to.

Okay so this is my first post. I turn 21 TODAY! I should be more excited but I live in Germany with my husband so I’m missing my family and friends right about….NOW! Anyway, let me ramble for just a second. I’ve been a dancer for almost my entire life. I’m extremely proud of that. However, lately, with a lack of resources and all this military moving and shaking, I’ve gained some pounds and lost a lot of motivation.

I really thought it was going to be great, not working for once. (I held 3 jobs at the same time and went to school full-time where I’m from). Anyway, it’s not me. So, I just started back at school 2 days ago and I got a job interview YAY ME! I’m ready to get into the swing of things. Being busy all the time feels good. I don’t  want to get to the point where I don’t have time for Brent (my hubby) because his job is very taxing on him and my #1 priority is to support him.

So, aside from that, since it’s my Birthday, I made myself a little deal. I’m hovering at 150 lbs and that is not okay with me, so I’m going to lose 25 lbs. It’s not a huge feat but from where I’m standing, I’m not sure it’s possible. What I need is support.

 Here’s my biggest issue. I eat horribly. I don’t eat a lot but I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE junk food. Candy, sweets, I just can’t say no. I don’t remember the last time we went to a restaurant and didn’t at least get dessert to go. So, I thought, if I went to the gym today and reached my goal (which I did) I could have a small piece of Hershey’s Pie tonite after dinner. After all, it is my Birthday……

 I didn’t want to type too much but I’m nervous, and excited and I feel confident that if I can just stick to this, I can do it…but not alone.
