The Countdown Begins Again..and again..and again..

I had the idea the other day to blog everyday until my birthday. It's now less than 2 months until I turn 30! But then I thought I might not be able to live up to that.. but I'll give it a shot.

Last night we went to Salt with Darren & Rachael and it was amazing! I LOVE that place. They serve small little 'tastes' of cheeses and meats to go with bread and different wines. There's also condiments that match each meat or cheese. Just thinking about it is making me gain weight. SO yummy! My favorites were the Stilton with honey, Camembert with roasted almonds, and the Guiness mustard with salami. But the Chocolate Pate was outstanding! Basically chocolate truffle meets slab of deliciousness.

On the birthday note... I wonder if I should buy tickets for the Newsboys concert? It's the day before my birthday and back in the day I LOVED them. Shine was my favorite song of all time for about 5 years. Hmmmmm....

I still have my 30 lbs before 30 goal in sight, but I'm not sure I'm going to make it. I'll come close for sure.. but I won't quite make it unless I exercise and eat well everyday from now until then. That's a pretty good idea, but one that requires effort that I'm not always willing to put in. So far, since Kai was born, I've lost 52 lbs. Most of that came off fairly fast, but I made the 30 before 30 commitment after I'd already lost the 40. For those not so great at math (myself included) I have 18 lbs to go. I might change it so I only have 13 to go and I'll feel a lot better about attaining what I set out to do, but I think that's cheating.

Christa and I have started going to Weight Watchers together and it's been a great motivator, but I haven't lost any weight for the past 3 weeks and I'm actually up 3 lbs on what I originally lost. I blame Cabo. And Christmas. New Years deserves a spanking too. I jest. In all seriousness though, I've decided to challenge sweet, innocent little Christa to a battle. One where our goal is not to 'beat each other up' but to 'beat each other down'. I'm just trying to lose more weight than her this week. So today, we went for a walk together for a mere 6 kilometers. No biggie. It was fun! I don't think Sophia liked it much in the end, but she will learn to adapt! If not, I lose more weight and I win! HAHAHAHAHA! (That laugh was evil in case you were wondering - next time I'll add the MW in front.)

Okay, so now it's off to bed or something like that... And no, that's not a dot dot dot like from Mamma Mia.

Thank you all and goodnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes, I am HYPER!
