Our last picture of 2012. Here’s to the new year! #newyearseve

I’m not going to pretend that I’m not a teeny bopper when it comes to music. I love me some One Direction. And I’m really enjoying this song right now. Specifically the following line:

You’ll never love yourself
Half as much as I love you
You’ll never treat yourself right, darlin’
But I want you to
If I let you know I’m here for you
Maybe you’ll love yourself
Like I love you

Oh hey, I’m in New York!

So far there’s been shopping, walking and lots of eating and drinking.

Next up, Newsies!

Because, believe it or not, I’ve never read The Great Gatsby. And this is how I’m spending my Wednesday off.

Merry Christmas from my pajama-clad family to yours!

I present to you this years Christmas card.

Happy Holidays! I hope everyone is able to spend them with the ones they love, eating and drinking a bit too much and having a wonderful time whatever your traditions may be.

Sometimes I read through my archives and wonder how I went from where I was when I started this blog, to where I was when this picture was taken, to where I am now.

I understand that things are meant to be how they are for a reason, but I was at a really good place in May of 2011. I was at my healthiest weight. I was feeling good both inside and out. And after finishing that ten mile race (my first long distance race ever) I was feeling like I could accomplish anything.

And now I wonder what happened to that girl?

I know life isn’t a constant ride. I realize that it comes with ups and downs and everything in between. And I realize that I alone have the power to control how my life turns out. Regardless of the circumstances and events life throws at me, I can control how I handle each moment and whether I come out on top or on bottom.

I’m not quite sure where I was going with this, but I’m hoping it’s a step in getting where I want to be, which looks a little bit more like that picture up there…

I did have time for a weigh in though. 

Previous Weight: 183.2

Current Weight: 182.6

Weight Change: -0.6

Slow and steady wins the race… Hoping to pick it up to 1-2 pounds per week once the glutinous holiday season passes.

Happy Christmas Questions Tuesday! :D What are your plans for Christmas? Will you be traveling or staying close to home?

I don’t normally do these types of posts but it’s Christmas related and it’s Sarah doing the asking so I can’t say no!

I have off from Christmas Eve to New Years so I’m pretty excited to spend some quality time with friends and family.

Christmas Eve we spend with my family and Christmas Day we spend with Jon’s. It’s working out pretty well thus far. Once we have children of our own we’ll spend Christmas Eve and morning at our own house.

I also have plans to go to NYC and see Newsies (hell yea!) as well as host a holiday party at our house and attend a New Years Eve party at a friends house.

Needless to say we’ll be pretty busy!
