I was so inspired by Stephanie M and her Body Pump class that i started looking for classes to take. Not wanting to join a gym (not ready for that kind of commitment) i found a place by me that offers 3 classes for $20. If you like the classes you can join for $99 for 3 months. So i signed up for today!! ahh! the best part? My husband is going with me! yay!! i'm so nervous but i'm so glad he'll be there with me. I've always wanted to try something like kickboxing but the old me would never had done it. I don't like to do things that are hard. But i'm gonna push myself! :) Part of my new years resolution, be more adventurous!
I already made tonight's dinner so that when we get home i just have to warm it up. Salmon, salad and green beans. :)
i'll post a blog entry afterwards and let you know how it went!

it never ends
today at my bday bbq my friend's dad (friend of my parents) gave me some lecture about losing weight. he's overweight. and dieting, doing it "the hard way" he says. and he was totally looking down on me for having surgery. like what i did was the easy way out and he's doing it the old fashioned way. and insinuating that i would stretch out my stomach or gain it all back if i'm not careful. basically telling me things i already know. duh. he's getting on me because its my bday and i'm eating rice and cupcakes and whatever else. even though its in small amounts and i've eaten mostly protein shakes all week. *eye roll* people judge. they just love to judge. but thats ok. because i know its not about me. its about him. his struggles.
me? i'm happy. livin life. i don't feel the need to judge or lecture anyone! life isn't about being on a diet. diets don't work. gotta live life. realistically. everything in moderation.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!
YES!!!! FINALLY!!!
i woke up this morning and weighed. still that same stubborn .5lb lingering on my victory. sigh. i thought alot last night about whether i'm being selfish wanting to try to get pregnant before i get to my goal weight. i just feel like i've waited soooo long and the weight loss has slowed so much that to wait till i get to a magic number is excruciating. i thought, am i a big fat failure if i don't get to goal first?
even if baby wasn't on the table. it would still take me months to lose the weight. i have 30lbs till my goal weight of 140lbs. is it doable? i think so. it just might take me till march of next year. and i'm ok with that. i mean i'm annoyed that my mom asks me everytime i see her how much weight i lost. she doesn't understand that the weight doesn't come off like it did before. these days i'm averaging about 2lbs a month. if that. so am i ok with it taking me that long to get to goal. if i didn't want a baby i would be fine. i'm very happy with how far i've come. i'm enjoying life and my new body, and i would just continue to enjoy it while i slowly got to goal. knowing that makes me more ok with my choice. i'm not giving up. its just a little detour. i don't want to wait for a magic number. i want to have a baby. and after the baby i'll go back to striving for goal. of course it will probably be even harder and take a lot longer. i might not ever get to that magic number. and i'm ok with that.
anyway i took a shower and shaved. and i don't know what happened between waking up in and getting in the shower but i got back on that scale and i was .5lbs smaller! I DID IT!!! I FINALLY HIT 90LBS!!!!!!! man i've been like 2lbs away for a month! ridiculous! i really wanted to have this milestone for my bday. i wanted to have this big number to tote around. its very impressive. of course it will take me MONTHS to lose the next 10 lbs. i would love to lose it by my surgerversary in august but thats a long shot. i'll be happy with 5 more lbs though.
anyway i'm super stoked to finally say i'm lost a whopping 90LBS!! woohoo! go meli!!
What a great start to my birthday :)

tomorrow (june 2nd) is my bday
i'm gonna be 31. i'm gonna start a family soon. one thing i've realized is life is too short. i have no need to keep people in my life who contribute nothing to it. thats why i'm constantly deleting ppl off facebook. i'm very selective of who i let into my inner circle. nothing personal, but i'm not a fan of acquaintances. having them is one thing, but letting them into my every day life is another.
i also feel like if you share nothing about yourself, yet you see everything i share about myself, its really unfair. and if you never talk to me, never leave comments, never respond to my comments, i don't really need you around.
this is all in regards to facebook of course.
but now i'm thinking...sigh...maybe its time to end some real friendships. people get older, grow apart, and sometimes they're better off going their separate ways. i'm really just at a point where if you cause drama in my life i don't really need it. if everything we say pisses us off maybe we shouldn't be friends. maybe we're better off apart. you have your life and great new things happening, so do i. and what i've noticed is, we don't have much in common anymore. our lives don't really intersect. its no one's fault. people just grow apart and go in different directions. you have your work, your bf, your other friends. i'm married and starting a family. we're at diff stages in our life. you work hard, i don't work. you judge me. i know. and thats ok. lets just not beat a dead horse. i'm not saying lets never talk again, but its ok if we're the kind of friends who only see each other once a year. i feel like we're holding on to something that isn't there.
so thats that. you'll never read this. i kind of hope you won't. because i'm a chicken shit. and i don't really wanna deal with the wrath that would be your reaction. but honestly i'm sick of walking on egg shells.
