Finally for once in a very long time I can say, I LOVE MYSELF!!!! I am now wearing size 14 jeans and a size large shirt! It is awesome! everyone at work made me feel amazing today, its like the first time they felt the could see my change, I guess it was cause I had to tuck my shirt in being it was way to big for me, (NOTE: I refuse to buy new work shirts when they are $30.00 a piece and they wont fit for long)

One of the guys at work decided to nickname me Thin Mint ... hahaha ... every time I heard it I smiled and laughed. And one of the girls and I are trading clothes back and forth, she cant fit in some so she lent them to me, she agrees it is pointless to pay for clothes that I will shrink out of in a month or so.

I go to the gym a few times a week, see a personal trainer twice a week. With the weather finally being nice, I try to get out and walk. Yesterday I did a 2 mile walk. And enjoyed it! I am trying to doing crunches and ab exercises before I go to bed every night.

I no longer buy my protein shakes from Starbucks, I decided with the help of a friend that it is cheaper to make them at home, right now I make a banana chocolate protein shake once a day. I'm thinking of trying strawberry chocolate.

I hope everyone is doing well .. I am day 1 of my 8 days straight of work, must say the money will be good, but I was hoping to have some time to myself.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference...
