Meanderings

It's funny that I don't treat my blog the way I treat everything else in my life. See, I am a classic control freak, perfectionist and Type A. Everything in its place and a place for everything. Clean house, bills paid, routineaholic, work under control, holiday preparations done, you get the idea. But if something isn't looking me in the face (like this blog) then I pretend to block it out and procrastinate about it until I feel utterly guilty. The problem as I see it is that I should look at this as a chance to vent, relieve stress and leave an archive of my life and times. But no, I see it as another source of stress when I don't update as much as I should, when I don't have readers, when people take me off their blogger, etc. Stupid, I know; but welcome to my twisted little mind.

Weight loss - None to speak of, but at the same rate, no gain either. I checked the scale the other night and it was holding steady at 191. Color me surprised since I have been eating like the 230lb version of me for the past 4 weeks and I couldn't maintain the running with all the craziness of the holidays. And of course, it is all or nothing with me. So if I am not running a lot, then I am not running at all. If I can maintain thru the holidays I will be duly impressed. Then I can readjust my goals and start anew with the new year. It is hard to believe that this time last year I weighed ~230 and didn't have my precious son here with me. Seems like forever ago...

We are mostly ready for the holidays and will be travelling to FL to visit my family for a few days. I am definitely looking forward to it, but it is stressful trying to get everything finished and ready before we leave on Friday.

Baby is great and we have a FINALIZATION date. I'll post more on that really soon since it is scheduled for next week!
