...
Hola all...I actually managed to post less than a month after my previous one. Amazing!
Anyways...This week's gone by fast, thank God. Spring break was last week and it was super fun, super chill, and super relaxing. This week...not so much, but at least the craziness has flown by. I don't think myself or anyone else would've survived if the welcome back week had gone at a snail's pace.
I spent the first part of the break at the padres and hung out with Amber quite a bit. She, the madre, and I went to do some shopping in West Virginia at some major discount stores. I got some cute shirts and....well, let me mention Amber first. She is going to be in a pageant this Saturday and we found her the perfect dress. It is the perfect neckline and the perfect length for her, which is hard to find for a girl her height. While she was trying on dresses, she found one for me and I tried it on. I bought it. And...I'm doing something I set as one of my NSVs (non-scale victories in Weight Watchers speak) and promised people in December. I'm going to be in a pageant. Yeah...the Redbud Festival pageants include one for women 22 and up and/or married women. I had planned on being in the 17-21 one in my senior prom dress when I was 20, but I was too fat for that (love the honesty?). So, I have a dress and I have a decent weight...so I'm going to do it. Amber is all excited too. She was my big cheerleader. That made me feel good :)
Thursday through Sunday was much needed Foxy-Tumor time. It had been a while since it was just me and Felicia and we had our usual good time. It was a combination of random trips around NC and SC and late night deep "what's going to happen in our lives?" conversations. I thoroughly enjoyed it...and I needed it.
I guess I had a little too much fun eating wise, because I had a horrible weigh-in Monday. I expected it...just not quite the size of the number on the scale, lol. I am back on track this week for sure. I'd really like to get to 50 next week...but even if I don't, I hope to be as close as I was before break. But I keep telling myself that I'm in so much better shape and have so much more energy. That and I can fit in all the spring and summer clothes I couldn't last year. Some of them were actually too big :D
Finally, I shall conclude with basketball. Well, when I'm wrong I'll say I'm wrong. I was wrong about you, Memphis. You kicked ass in the Sweet 16 and Elite 8. UT, you were the opposite and therefore a letdown. I'm so proud of myself for getting Davidson...I think I'm the only one in my pool at school who did it, too. And I'm so excited for the KU-UNC game Saturday I can hardly stand it! I wish it was the final game, though...but I'm still confident the Tar Heels are gonna win it all. But, they may just have to do it against Memphis, not UCLA.
I do my best to catch up on entries...Beth, I've been keeping your mom in my prayers and will get her on my church's prayer list Sunday. BFF, I'm so excited to hear you loved training and are pumped for Colorado...and I hope you do well in your running Saturday! Jesse, I know it's hard to post a lot, but thanks for updating and thanks for your friendship, too. Ivy, I'm in total agreement with the tennis fans and tennis in general. We need some stability.
I think that's it...other than I'd like to randomly throw in that after my BBC brit comedies on PBS they had Juanes on Austin City Limits. I was SO happy :D
Cuidense!
