Brian and I met at NGCSU and married in 2004. We lived in TX for five years while Brian earned his doctorate at the University of Texas. On our way to New York, our baby E was stillborn April 28th 2009. We miss him terribly and he will always hold an important place in our lives and hearts. In October of 2010 our rainbow baby HK was born at 30 weeks. We feel very blessed that God is allowing us to raise her.
For once that's a good thing! I debated whether I would put this on the blog or not since it would be admitting that I had 25 pounds to lose (honestly more to go), and it's probably more information than you care to know. But, I've worked hard to get here and I'm happy to finally see the scale going in the right direction and I'm hoping it will be another way to keep me accountable =). Between pregnancy weight and my grieving with food in the beginning, I was pretty discouraged. At the beginning of October I'd had enough and decided to go to Weight Watchers. I'm so glad I did! I've given myself a little wiggle room for the holidays and being out of town, so I was really excited when I hit my 25 pounds goal yesterday. It's amazing how excited I can get over silly little charms, but I love tangible things. Hurray for positive things to celebrate! Here's to hoping I can continue to lose!
