First Huge Milestone! Hit 100!

 Happy Tuesday! It's not Taco Tuesday...at least not hear. I suppose it is Taco Tuesday somewhere. Or we could have Taco Tuesday....on a Friday! Like in the Lego Movie. I really like that movie. I feel really good today. I have been a bit down lately, and it's good to feel a bit more on top of the world and like I have a handle things. I feel so out of control of my life sometimes and I think that's why I like to hold onto whatever control I can of my life. It's been very hard to be in control of my life lately and I think that's been what has caused me stress and unhappiness. Sometime I just need time to adjust to the changes and things that are happening around me and that is ok. 

At least today, I feel as if things will be alright. The past couple of weeks I've been in this slump and really feeling like I don't really matter and that my opinions don't matter. I like to keep to myself. I don't like to fight, and I don't like to argue so if things are tough, I normally just back off and let it go. What's that French phrase? "C'est la vie?'  Basically it means 'Such is Life.' or 'That's life.' That is how I feel about most things. 

I am down 70 lbs in my weight loss journey. I am very proud of myself and I feel much better and I think I look much better. I'm not severely depressed looking in the mirror anymore and I feel like my husband is even paying more attention and his hands have roamed a lot more than in the recent past. Don't get me wrong, I feel like he has always been attracted to me, but when you feel good about yourself, other people see that, and your personality shines more and you're more attractive just because you have a more positive outlook and attitude. I don't think he loves me more or less because of my weight, but I think my confidence and my happiness and excitement, draws him to me more than my depressed attitude and laying about not wanting to really do anything. Plus when I was heavier, I was in pain so trying to be intimate with him, was painful actually to both of us. Now that I'm losing the weight, the pain is significantly less and things in that area of our life is just much easier and much better. They measured me a week ago at my appointment. I have lost 7 inches off my waist. I have dropped my BMI 11 points. I still have a bit to go before I am considered healthy, but I am very proud of that.  

Next month is NaNoWriMo. I am always excited for that. It means National Novel Writing Month. I always work on one of the various novels I am writing and try to get it closer to being finished. I really would like to finish one of my novels as it is a dream of mine to be a published author. I love to write and I love stories. I really think I'm going to push myself this year and get it done! Happy Tuesday again and I hope you all have a beautiful day.
