New Years and a Fresh Start

Well this is my first blog post of the new year. It is also day #3 of me not drinking Soda, it's day #3 of less sodium (i'm going to miss popcorn), and day three of the rest of my life :)
Almost two years ago I had weight loss surgery, and I haven't been working it the way I should. I've had many excuses that I have used, but it's a new year and no more excuses. I'm not really making resolutions for this year, because let's face it, who actually does what they "plan" maybe they do for the first month, some make it a week. I want to make it the whole year. So I am making monthly goals for every month. January's Goals are:
 1. No more soda
2. Work out twice a week.

Now Most people would say why only work out two times a week. But it's a MONTHLY goal, there for I can start getting into a routine of twice a week, once should be easy, thursday night dance class. The other day is going to be pure determination; at least at first. I am going to try and get on my eliptical before I go to bed tonight, but I can't make any real promises on that. I've installed the spark people ap again, and I'm going to try and keep track of what I'm eating and if I manage to loose some weight this week. I'm supposed to go in on thursday for a fill. Part of me wants to do this, the other part of me doesn't. I realized the last 2 days of not snacking that I don't get full any more. 2 eggs and a peice of sasuage should completely fill me up, and it's not so i should go and get a fill. But I will say that I have enjoyed the last 2 weeks of belly freedom. But it is time to actually get this done. I know I've gained in the past two weeks, but now It's time to crack down and get it done.

Now that the business is out of the way .. NYE was a good time. It was nice to stay in and be comfortable. I don't miss going out and getting drunk like I thought I would. Jojo, Luke, Sy & Shawna and I went out to eat at Ikes in down town and MAN was that a GOOD burger! And then we had some adult ice cream which was VERY yummy. Back at the Ice Castle we had some punch, cupcakes (by Shawna) and played trivial pursuit and apples to apples :) It was fun. Jon showed up, hadn't seen him in over a year. It was good to see him again.

I got a kiss at midnight from my Love Luke <3 and then went to bed fairly early. I think we were sleep before 3am. Sunday we went to MOA to get LEGOS and then had brunch with Luke's family. Waffles are SO yummy, yet another thing I will miss. I wonder if I can get Luke to go to Hell's Kitchen soon... hmm

What else has been happening, I got my IUD on thursday and by sunday I felt normal! No cramping so far. Although the insertion, was not very pleasant! They say that the feeling that i experinced was like child birth, well the beginning of it when the cervix dialates and such.. MY GOD. I think everyone should have an iud, then they would know WHY it's important to not have babies so young lol I think this experience would have pushed me away from wanting kids early in life, although I no longer regret not having kids at a younger age. I'm very happy as I am right now.

I start training tomorrow to become a security guard.. hopefully can start there before the end of the month. as for now.. back to work :)
