#223 Valentine's Day....

....or as I call it "Happy Single Awareness Day.....

So...I am the forever single girl in my family & group of friends. I read somewhere that we (the single people) are mostly independent and happy about being single until February 14....Valentine's Day. And when I think about it, that is totally correct.

Most years, it bothers me, but this year was different. I don't know if maybe I think I will never have that special someone or if I have just accepted that when God decides that special person will come into my life that person will show up out of the blue....who knows?

This morning, when I woke up, I was a bit sluggish from all of the sugar, but emotionally I was great.  I was happy; a bit disappointed that I ate so many sweets but I tried not to dwell on it.

This year I vowed and promised myself that it was going to be about me. I am determined to be right with me....to be okay in my own skin. I want to be truly happy deep deep down. I am sure everyone wants that. It is just that this year, I am going to make it happen for me. Finally tackling this weight loss thing is part of that.

The photo to my right shows me wearing, although hard to see, printed leggings. They are LuluRoe and have little hearts on them. Perfect for Valentine's Day. Any way, if you know me you know I am not a print girl. I had won some Lulu cash from Facebook, so I was like why not get those. I thought when's the perfect excuse to wear them. Needless to say I was a little (ok a lot) terrified of what people might say. I had so many compliments and it made me realize that I could wear a print in my life even though I am a bigger girl.

Weigh In is tomorrow and I don't think that I am going to do so hot. It will be a miracle if I loose anything. I am just praying that I didn't gain too much. (Fingers crossed)

I know what I didn't do....i didn't track and I could kick myself because I was doing so good too. I just need to get back to it....and I will!!!!!

I didn't go to the gym.....I really need to get back to this ASAP!!!!!!

I didn't eat to well either. I need to STOP eating fast food, drinking soda (even diet soda), and stop eating sweets. At the beginning of the year I did a sugar detox. I felt so much better. My skin was better and I was really proud of myself. I guess writing this all out has me thinking that maybe I need to get back to it maybe not as strict but do something.

On a different topic.....I need to BUDGET......I have a shopping/spending problem. (The first step is to admit it right??) Well tomorrow I will bee looking at ways to cut my spending and starting a budget. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to give me ideas. I can always use the help.

Well I think that's enough....now its time for a little reading!!!!
