Jan 6th, Day 35 (85 days left)

85 days left! I really fell off the wagon for the past week. Being in Vegas is harder than I thought it would be, and I am really distracted by job interviews, family and friends, and ofcourse Brandan! I was actually a bit scared to weigh today. Usually I weigh every day, but I havent weighed in almost a week.

Mind you, I have been trying to make smart and healthy eating decisions. I always get the salad, and I have not stopped my water kick. Not one drop of soda or high sugar juice has passed these lips. Last night was the first night since I have been here that I actually had something other than water, and it was 5 cal per serving light Minutemaid.

So, I wont keep you waiting :) I am now under a new goal! I am 239.6 as of this morning. It really made me motivated to not loose focus! I am going home to San Diego in the next few days and I know it will be easy there to stay on track.

Now that I am under a new goal I will be getting my pedicure (this reward) right before Brandan gets here. Its totally awesome cause I had been hoping to get one before he came, and now I have to because I earned it!! Guess I need to refocus on my goals, because I have not been running and my first running goal is comming up!

Brandan is comming to see me on Jan 17th, so I have been counting those days down with ferver. We have been talking about two months now, and we met over the internet. He lives in KY (too far away) and we have plans on jumping the bullet and moving in together. I really like him and even though he is WAY too young for me, he makes me incredibally happy. I just wanted to note that here, so in the future when I reread what I have written I will see that :)

April really seems right around the corner to me. 85 days really seems like nothing, especially since the first 35 flew right by me. I have been really busy with figuring out my relocating stuff, moving, new job, new friends, its been pretty exciting and Im lucky enough to be able to do it over the course of a couple months and have lots of time and wiggle room for changes.

My mom has been a godsend since my husband left, she has supported me both financially and emotionally. Moving in with her will be ok (as long as its SHORT term) and she will be putting half my agreed upon rent toward my debt with her, so that is a financial burden lifted.

So, 85 days to a newer slimmer me, 10 days till I get to touch Brandan, and today is the day that I get to enjoy that I have so much in my life to be thankful for and look forward to. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and dont forget to look on the bright side (or the not as dark side :) )
