So I’m leaving tomorrow for OKC to visit my sister and family. I am so stoked for this! I am spending six days soaking up sun, playing with my nephew and niece, going to thrift and craft stores with my sister and to see ‘Iron Man 2’ with my brother (in-law, but for the sake of the rest of my blogging I’m just going to refer to him as my brother.) I have been looking forward to this for months!

The only thing I’m thinking about is that I’m going to be cheating on the Medifast while I’m down there. I knew before I started that this was coming soon and that I wouldn’t be staying on Medifast then, but I also knew that I needed to stop putting this off until a “better time.” There is never a better time. That’s just the way life is, and I wanted to actually start making a change in my life. So I just decided to start. My family eats pretty healthy and we’re pretty active, always running around with the kidlets. I’m a little worried, but not too much. I know that I’ve gotten a good start, but that just shows me what I am capable of for this whole change. If I gain the pounds back while I’m down there – I’ll just take them off again when I get back! I can do this! I’m feeling really positive about everything today and maybe that’s just the vaca looming right over the horizon, but I am making progress!
