I did not sleep very well last night. Colitis kicked in, I was to warm, I was too cold, E was snoring, dog was licking. My first thought..."I gotta exercise when I am this tired! Rats!" But now....I feel like the world is my oyster....I am BACK, BABY!!!! Let the losing (weight) begin! June 22 is a friend's wedding. And since I always do better with goals....Sexy Red Dress here I come! I think I will take a pic of it tonight and make it my default picture so I have extra motivation. :-) Not gonna record my weight just yet...but Monday...I will, no matter what.

In personal news, I am doing better not being bitter about the kid situation. So now, I am trying to learn to let go. Nothing I do will change how she treats us, or how her mom treats us. I spent part of my birthday crying because she would not make the time to see us/me. For the last three years, my joyful bday celebrations have been lacking. It is not the same w/o your kid "wanting" to be there. Enough is enough...I must embrace my lowly parental status. E is left out too. It is not just my pain. I have to be my happy self, because a sad Jessa EATS A LOT!!!! LOL

So I am working on: no more resentment, showing my love w/o asking for more then she is willing to give, being me w/o doing a kindness count in my head, focusing on the good stuff as much as possible. She loves us as she needs right now, and one day she might love us as we need. Today is not that day, but that day will hopefully come. See, now I have something to look forward too. :-)

That stinks about your lack of sleep but good job getting moving anyways! Exercise sure does make you feel great! Not sure all the details about the kid situation, but sorry you feel left out. Hopefully she'll come around. I know I had some awful phases with my parents for no good reason other than being selfish and immature.

Your new mind set is amazing! And that "sexy red dress" will surely be a great motivator. Just think come June the size you think you might need could actually be lower. Keep up the excellent work!

Sexy red dress sounds like an amazing motivator! Good luck with changing your outlook on expectations from other people - I just had a big fight with my hubby for exactly the reasons you listed here - kindness count, resentment, etc. For some people giving is who we are, and it's hard to let go of expecting others to be the same.

My perimenopause situation leaves me lacking in the sleep department most nights lately so I sympathize! Having a goal to work towards can be great motivation. Sexy red dress, here you come :) Sorry to hear about your troubles with the "kid situation" but you seem to be having a good attitude about it. Good luck with your weigh in.
