Okay.... I am so blessed to have some really loyal friends out there. Thank you for all the encouragement for the weight loss and blogging. I know it's been a while, but I have been a busy blogging bee.
Since moving to the UK, all I can say is that I could probably send a letter to you through snail mail faster than I can upload one picture into my blog. I sometimes spend a whole night typing only to have it not save correctly and lose a whole night's blogging. Yep... very frustrating.
So Jim has been hearing all about this public pledge I made... so I've been counting calories... and even with a 1-1/2 week cruise in the middle since the last time I blogged, I ended up losing another 2 pounds! I guess that's what happens when your husband walks you a minimum of 5 miles a day while on vacation! So that's a whole 17 pounds right now since I started in the spring... I know it's slow... but my mantra is slow and steady wins the race. And the amazing part is because I've been slow... I've not been hungry! Just eating what I want but very carefully.
As for blogging... before our cruise, we stayed in a hotel in Barcelona, Spain... and do you want to know the best part? FAST INTERNET! I got all the pictures up until May of next year loaded into this site!! WHOO HOOO!!!! That would have taken me months! So my friends... I repeat my pledge to you. I will have all of 2008 blogged before the end of 2009 and now... I hope to exceed that goal and have 2009 well on it's way!
So keep the cheering going and the messages coming! I love hearing from all of you!
Glad to see this post because I so bad wanted to say to you the other day that you look great and you look like you have lost weight. I knew I should have!!! I never know how some people react to those types of things especially when I didn't know you were trying. Great job Miranda!!!!! I would say it is one of the hardest things to do.
