it's been a long time

Sorry, it's been a while since I've posted anything on my blog. I know there are a few of you who are actually reading and keeping up with my progress. It's been a crazy month, but I'm still on the road to weightloss.
First of all, my 3 year old broke his arm on the 24th of February and so there have been som extra doctor appointments and stress in my life due to that. He's doing fine now and gets his cast off in 3 weeks.
Also, we started working towards purchasing a home. We secured a lender and a realtor and now are working with our landlords on the possibility of buying the home we are in, which would be awesome. Either way, it's a great time to buy and within the next 6 months we should be homeowners once again.
Okay, so what about weightloss??? I am still meeting with my little Carlos at least twice a week. He and I have struck up quite a friendship and I get to hear all about his girlfriend of the week with every session. We now text each other on our cell phones from time to time and I'm even on his facebook.
So far, for the year 2008, I've lost 13 pounds and 14.75 inches. I feel good about this progress. The pounds lost have slowed down as of late, but they have not stopped. My eating habits are not as strict as they were at the begininng of the year, but they are still good. I do grab a bit of chocolate from time to time at work but I don't have dessert at restaurants and I don't eat a whole box of cheezits in one sitting. I do enjoy some popcorn from time to time and some Skinny Cow ice cream, but that's about as bad as it gets. I know that the frequent weight training helps me to be able to eat a little bit more without gaining weight, so I figure if I keep it up, even though the weightloss is slow, after a year of this, I should look pretty good. If I average 4 pounds a month for the rest of the year that would be over 50 pounds lost in one year. Not too shabby. I know that this is a life change I'm making and not a temporary way to eat or exercise, so I have nothing but time. I'd rather do it slow and make it stick than do it fast and gain it all back later.

That's all for me today!
