2012 has been great so far. An author whose blog I read said it perfectly, this year he is focusing on doing things that make him happy. I spent a lot of time in 2011 doing things that were fun, but that didn't necessarily make me feel happy. Flash games, Netflix, watching lots of TV. Fun things, but not things that make me actually happy. So far this year, I've done a lot of crafts and worked on our "garden" out front. I've spent time outside in the sunshine, and have been working on my art a lot more. I'm happy! Sometimes the fun stuff is easier, but it's worth it to put in the effort.
My sister is getting married in July and asked me to be a bridesmaid! She also asked that Pepper be a flower girl. I'm excited for my sister, and I've now got a goal 6 months from now to focus on. I would be thrilled to lose even just 20 lbs by then, putting me roughly at 160!! I'm still at 181, but it's the lowest weight I've ever been. I'm very excited to see the 170s. My only concern is the dress - I'm sure she'll want us to get them as soon as we can, but how do I know what size I'll be by July??? I guess I'll just have to figure it out!
We also started the 6 week Zumba weight loss challenge on Monday. I won last time - 10 free classes! - and I have my sights set on winning this one too. Monday's class was the best one EVER. Kelsie is Val's backup lead, so she's sort of like an unofficial 2nd Zumba instructor. Well, Kelsie is pregnant, and she wasn't there yesterday, so Val asked me to help lead the class! SO. AWESOME. I know the songs, and I dress up every class, and Zumba is just SO important to me, that to be asked up front for the entire class was AWESOME. I do 2-3 songs in front every class anyway, but this was special!
Anyway, it's been raining here the past 2 days. It's not too bad, but I know Pepper misses being outside. I love sunny days when I can just open the back door and let the outside in, and Pepper can come and go as she pleases! It makes me wish so badly to move NOW! But we're getting closer to moving. I can't wait to have a big, FLAT, backyard with trees and a shed! *sigh*
Pepper and I are about to head to the grocery store. I've been making nice bento lunches for Kevin this week, and it's been SO much fun!! I'm excited to get more ingredients, and make sure my family is eating well!
