I know, I've been slacking!

It's been over a month since my last blog. It wasn't on purpose, but the days seems to fly by now-a-days. Life is seeming to get more and more hectic, or my brain is.. I haven't decided which one yet. I am now trying to learn how to cope with the loss of not just one baby, Serenity, but 2 Serenity and Sawyer, in such a short period of time. The one who everyone came to love and know, and the one nobody remembers or acknowledges.

Anyways, a lot has happened since my last blog. Two weeks ago today was my 21st birthday. It was a drag. I sat at home all day, and then stayed home for the evening also. Not eventful at all.

I started a diet.. or "eating better". I have pretty much all of my time and energy going into that, which is good. 3lbs lost so far, in 5 days (or less), and counting! So it's paying off.

When I started I was 200.2. Yesterday when I weighed myself I was 197. My main goal is 145, but less would be nice for my height. It's going to take a lot of work, but I am pretty much figuring I have to do this and I do. Normally I wouldn't just flaunt my weight, but I figure if I'm going to stick to it, then it may take a little embarrassment to push me to get to that not so embarrassing weight. I'm also going to stick a widget on the side -->> so anyone who visits this blog can see my progress, at any time. I will weigh in hopefully once a week, but I update my food and exercise diary every day. If you would like to add me as a friend (I need all the supportive people I can get on there!) my username is: Serenity711 (of course! :) )

Saturday was my dad's birthday. I had my first ever bar experience. I had fun, although I drank billions of calories that night packed into 4 margaritas! They were really good though and very much so worth a cheat day on my diet. ;)

Also, I've added a new feature to this blog. Email updates! If you'd like updates from this blog sent directly to your email insert your email address --->> over there. You will not be spammed by this feature, but it will let you know every time I write a blog.

Anyways, this is me checking in letting everyone know I'm still alive.
