Weight loss, the never ending struggle

So, anyone that has read my blog knows that I've struggled with my weight over the years. I've lost 50 lbs, gained it back. Lost it again, gained it back. Again.  I've started over and over again only to lose 10lbs and give up. I am happy to report I have lost 17lbs! The only thing is, it's taken me, like, forever. (Well, 5 months but it feels like forever!) My dear, sweet husband is always looking for ways to keep me motivated. This is what I came home to last night...

It's really hard to see but the top note says "Don't give up, I believe in you!" and then the next three show my reward for reaching certain weight goals. The bottom picture is of my "skinny" butt. I asked him if he was sure my butt didn't look the same now but he assured me it does not :) If this is not motivation I don't know what is! Time for double workouts and faithful food journaling! I can do this!

Picture, picture

I sat down to write a big catch up post and started going through the pictures to accompany it only to realize any picture I've uploaded in the last few months went straight to facebook and not to my computer. It wouldn't be a problem if I could find my camera to re-upload them to the computer. Sigh. Also missing? My iPhone, a pair of my shoes and a bag of one of the daycare kids diapers. Where would you be if you were any of these items?

Hey, remember me?

(I'm not sure I do, but I'm working on it)

Too much has happened to even try to catch up, although I feel it's really important to do (for my own purposes of course). Someday (really soon) I plan on doing a great big, LONG catch up post. And I'm even figuring out a time to schedule in more blogging. Now that I've deleted my facebook account I should have lots, and lots of time to fit it in. Maybe blogging will bring me the joy it once did? Heaven knows I could use the pick me up! For now, I haven't logged into this account for many, many days and I have lots of favorite blogs to catch up on; pregnancies, babies and all kinds of good stuff! So farewell for now but I hope to see you again soon, real soon!
