Life is Good

Today is a good day. Theres no particular reason really, its just that kind of day. I didnt even lose weight today. You'de think that would set my mood, but it doesnt. Im still down 16.1 pounds in 15 days. I am just feeling good about life today, so I got up earlier to come to work earlier to post this before work started. However Im sure it will be added to at breaks (Im going to actually take them today).

My Job is awesome. Im really really enjoying myself here! I feel like Im not only a big help to my boss, but I actually enjoy what Im doing. Theres lots to keep up with; lots to track. Ive been so busy that I havent even remembered what time it is to take my two breaks! Not to mention yesterday I was 15 minutes late for my lunch break due to getting things done. All that is not a complaint. I actually enjoy it! Its fun! And it makes the day FLY! Also, when you have a boss that cries from joy when they see how you organized their email with lables, its a good feeling. I felt like I kicked ass yesterday at work. And I liked that feeling.

My diet is going well! Its actually alot easier than I anticipated. The first few days were difficult but then you get used to it. Youre not as hungry. Its great. Though being not as hungry means I dont reach for my water as often. Before the water was a filler when I was starving. So im trying my best to keep the water intake up! I will say that the diet is weird on the digestion track. I will leave it at that, but those of you who've done HCG know. Originally I was only doing this for the 21 day term. But Ive decided to go for 29 days. That will make my first day to eat whatever I want, Thanksgiving. What better day, right?! This means, my drop days will not end next saturday but 8 days after it. And then three more days of 500 calories. And then no starches, no sugars for 21 days leading me right to Thanksgiving. I am excited about this plan! And the good thing is, that if I get past next saturday, and it gets too much for some reason, I can always stop then because Ive done the 21 day minimum. After Thanksgiving, its back to just watching what I eat. Trying to cook healthier. Excercising a little each day. A good healthier life you know?

Jeremiah and I were talking about that yesterday. About cooking more, and eating out less. And just watching what we eat. The two of us doing it will be easier than just one of us. Im happy about it! Speaking of Jeremiah, we have now been together 6 months. Where has the time gone? Just yesterday we were making excuses to snuggle on a smokey couch, and now I cant imagine him not being by my side. Life with him is all I need. Weve also recently talked about going back to church and getting back what we'd "lost". I just know that for me, its been something that I know the longer I'm out of church and Gods presence the harder it is to go back. But going back after being burned is so hard! And it wasnt just like a curling iron burn. We're talking, joan of arc. So its hard. But I know its going to be okay. All I can do is put myself back in church and learn and heal in the process. So thats what Im doing. And lucky for me, Jeremiah is there to do it with me. :)

I have a few short things before I close:

1. Jeremiah got a job! I am so so proud of him. It may not be the job he wants, but we all start somewhere. Either way I am super happy for him.

2. I had a horrific experience with my apartment and a fridge, so I complained. And yesterday got a brand spanking new fridge!!! Its beautiful. Seriously. It may not look like anything special to you all, but its gorgeous to me!

3. Peanut has managed to knock his "gold" tooth loose. One day it was protruding, now its back in place but lose. Its a matter of time before it either falls out or the vet wants to take it out. He'll be a hillbilly. It will be ridiculous.

4. MY MAMA HAS A BOYFRIEND! <3 and I like him a whole lot. Its great to see her smile and laugh the way he makes her. Its awesome.
