sararay's Journal, 04 August 2008

Everyone welcome my good friend Faerylandmom!

Add her to your buddies, she is a great person. Our husbands are very good friends and even though we live in different states, we are good friends too.



I am doing well. I had a set back because of the gelato I ate at my mom's birthday dinner. It was worth it but now I have to re-focus. Everything will be fine.

As you all know, my metabolism is slow and yet I keep going because this is the only way for me to lose weight. I have tried less carb-restrictive diets, but they don't work. I get stuck at a weight and can't get below it.

I am hopeful that if I can at least maintain until the end of summer, then I can lose more during the fall. Last year I lost a lot of weight in the fall. I have a lot of things to look forward to and to keep me on task. My brother has found a great woman and there is talk of marriage. I get along with her very well and they are thinking they might get married some time next year. The wedding would be in Arizona and I will want to be in top shape for that also because it is very hot there and I will want to be wearing shorts. Right now, I am not in "shorts-wearing shape". I am very happy about this girl and she will make a wonderful addition to our family, she is everything I would want for my brother and our family.

I am trying to convince my husband to take tango lessons with me. I also want to be in shape for that. His sister does blues dancing in Portland and is now starting to learn Tango as well. I thought it would be fun to learn too and then when we go visit her we can go dancing. He isn't convinced yet, LOL. We learned ballroom dancing for our wedding and he did great but he gets intimidated because I've been dancing all my life and I learn faster than he does.

So I am trying to focus on these things.

Ooooh, I've mentioned ball room dance lessons to my husband for years. We haven't done it yet but, you're inspiring me! Tango lessons will be so much fun. I'd like to tackle that too but, hubby is very challenged in the dance dept so I'd be happy with the basics. Good luck convincing him, I hope you guys do it!
