Feeling good

So I'm feeling pretty good. I'm very happy with the way things are going with my current weight loss. I can see small changes finally. My butt isn't as big...which I'm happy with. It's getting flatter lol. I have to look at what I'm doing not as a diet but as a lifestyle change. I have to adapt to it, which I am doing pretty well. I never realized how much the amount of calories really played in my life until now. I've already lost about a total of 10 pounds since I started this back a few months ago. I can't say for certain the exact amount because of I don't know what my true weight was when I started. All I know is that clothes are starting to fit better. That is what matters to me. The calorie counting and the walking help me the most. Walking is awesome... So I say, to anyone who wants to lose the weight and thinks that walking will do...keep doing it....keep walking it will help. Burn the calories and you will see results.... might be slow at first but if you keep to it you will be glad that you did. I was ready to give up but I'm glad that I didn't. I've cut my calories back and now I know that what I was eating was adding and preventing me from losing the weight. I've cut back alot. You can still enjoy food while watching calories. I've cut out alot of the junk food... and serving size really does help. You'd be amazed how many calories we put into our bodies with out realizing it... I know I used to consume over 2,000 a day. So, now that I've cut back I'm losing the weight and along with exercise... it's so worth it. I shop for food differently now. I'm not giving up anytime soon. I will achieve my goal... I have already achieved one. I am now onto my second one. It also helps to have some one who supports you. It helps a lot. It's encouraging. I am so glad that I found the support not only though Jason and my real life friends but I have a found a community on line of support and friends and they're great. I get alot of support with Jason and it's nice. Back when I thought of it just being a diet he was the one telling me that its a lifestyle change not just a diet. Diets don't work. I see that now. I still can enjoy food. I just change how I eat.

Well, enough of that. April is doing great. She can climb up her high chair and into it now... that's so not good a thing.... She climbs on everything. She said cold today. I took something out of the freezer and she touched it and I said yeah that's cold when she pulled away and then she repeated cold. One of the first times I've heard her say a c word or even try. She can mutter kitty but that's ki. So she can say about 6-7 words along with her non understandable stuff. I got her some new sippy cups tonight. They are the next step up in the sippy cup world. She's doing great with table food. Loves her chicken. I'm off tomorrow and I am spending the day with her. We were going to go to the park but they are calling for rain so I'm not sure. I work the rest of the week and then Friday she goes to see her grandma and she'll be gone all weekend. I'm so excited to have a baby free weekend. We are taking the atvs out again and hanging out. It'll be nice to have the weekend and spend some time with Jason on Sunday with just him for awhile. Not sure what we're doing considering I have to go pick April up sometime that day. Then the next time that he comes home we're heading up to a fair for the truck and tractor pull. I didn't think we were going to be albe to go this year with him not being here but we will be able to. That was one of our first few dates was a truck and tractor pull so it'll be cool to get to go again. So I can't wait. I've been waiting all summer for it...
