A quick update on happenings in and around here

Okay!
So things are going really well on this new 'regime'. I've gotten a few "have you lost weight?" questions! YAHOO! So it's true what they say: 'the 12 lb mark is a turn around!". I'm really feeling it.

I also have a club! I'm part of a club! :> We are dubbed the 'walking club' by some, Tony likes us better as the 'Desperate Housewives'...keep dreamin' Tony! ;> So my two neighbours and I have been walking for three nights and have collectively agreed that we all need to keep our 'group' walking. So I've been working out at the gym PLUS taking long walks with the girls.

My diet is also...AWESOME! The other day, Antonio wanted some jujubes...so I let him buy a package. When we got home, I so desperately wanted a few. After all, it can't hurt right? I took a wiff and imagined that if I would sit down I'd probably eat the whole thing (which is something I would of done in the past), so I put them away. Yeah me (a la London Tipton :>)!

We have also made a wise decision regarding our vacation plans this year. We usually head north to our hometown to visit family and old (amazing) friends. When you are eating the 'diet' that we are, such makes it difficult. (My friend Sylvie makes such yummy food for me :>). It would have been easy for us to just say: 'ah..what the hell, it's just a week or so'. However, I'm in a groove right now...and I want to keep going. So, we've decided to go to a resort for a week or so. We will have a kitchen...so we can still enjoy our vacation and eat right. Moreover, we will plan to have one night as a treat for all our hard work and accomplishments and venture out for a nice dinner out. Best of both worlds...and no guilt!

That's all for now, I'm off to to do some Yoga...shower and off for dinner with some friends (no worries...good choices I shall make! :>)

HUGS!
