Well since I have not written anything in awhile I figured that I would fill you all in on the things that have happened this month. Nothing too exciting we just live a semi-normal life. But here we go.
Gabe started his new job in the beginning of August. He absolutely loves it. Gabe also started school the end of August. I guess he loves that too. He only has one more semester after this one and then he will be done. YAY!!! I can't wait. Gabe's family is planning on coming out to visit us the end of December and New Years and then we are all taking a big trip to San Diego. I can't wait, it will be the first time that we have been on actual vacation with Gabe's family together. I love his mom and brother so much and we miss them so much that this will be an awesome thing. Since Gabe lost his job earlier this year we have not been able to really have a vacation since we went to Brazil in December. It defiantly is needed. As far as me, same old same old. Still working, paying the bills, that's about it. Although, I have had a breakthrough. The closer Gabe gets to finishing school and us planning our future the more we have talked about having children. I of course want to be a mother more than anything in the world. I figured that I needed to lose weight and really lose weight. A co-worker of mine and good friend did the Jillian Micheal's Body Revolution diet and got great results. I figured that I would too. It is so hard for me to stick to a diet without an exact meal plan because if it were left up to me to choose I would pick the junk over healthy food. This 90 day program gives you exercise plan and meal plan for the entire 90 days. It is fantastic. Gabe is not much of a dieter and was not to keen on the idea. I do not want any risks with having a baby. I do not want to put myself nor my child in danger because of something that I could have changed! So, Gabe and I started. It has been about two weeks and we are already seeing awesome results. The first week was more of a jump start week. We were really restricted on what we could eat. No carbs, no fruit, no caffeine!!! It was so hard for me. Gabe and I were both addicted to caffeine and suddenly not having it I went through so much caffeine withdrawal. I feel like I had a migraine the entire week. It was hard and I wanted to give-up but I knew that this is something that I had to do for me and my future children. Guess what? I am doing it! The first week of the diet I lost 11 pounds and Gabe lost 10. We have not weighed ourselves in this week but I am sure we have lost even more. Yesterday I put on my capri's and they nearly fell right off. I feel good, I get a little discouraged at times because although I can feel the results I am not so sure that I can see them yet. Everyone has told me that it takes awhile to start to notice. But I feel so much healthier and the best part is I don't really crave sweets. I will have moments when I wish I could have a brownie or a little chocolate but when I think about the bigger picture it really is not worth it. Things are going great here and Gabe and I are happy!
