Body Snatchers and Bread Pudding…
Happy Monday buddyslimmers?It is truly a great Monday here in Central Ohio?
rnrn
I am fairly certain that at some point this weekend, between Friday evening and Saturday morning that Body Snatchers, and/or Aliens snuck into my home and took the artist formerly known as Dawn and replaced her with the newer, improved 2007 model you now see before you?
rn
This, in my humble opinion, is better for everyone involved!! J

Flashback to my GOALS for 2007?
rnrn
Number ONE: Continued weight loss?Frankly at this point, I have no idea how I am doing since I have stayed off the Scale of Darkness?BUT?I FEEL GREAT?I was working out on Sunday, and I kept staring at my reflection in the mirror. Steve says ?What are you doing?? and I say ?Well, I am looking at my butt, and it looks pretty damn good on this elliptical in these workout pants! I think I like my butt now!??Hah hah hah?Small victory!
rn
Also, both Saturday and Sunday were big food days for me?I don?t really stress about these when they happen, because they do, and I know I will recover from them?They are not frequent, so I can deal?
rnrn
I had steak on Saturday in the form of a nice dinner I made for my husband and I?And yesterday we enjoyed a complete ?DATE? day. Went to lunch, shopping, and to a hockey game?So I went into it knowing I was gonna eat things not entirely healthy?
rn
Here is the thing though. I really didn?t do so bad?Another small victory?I simply can?t eat like I used too?Even when I WANT to?I ate only half my steak on Saturday, and I didn?t eat much else all day?
rnrn
Sunday, I ate HALF of my burger?I was sad?I wanted the whole thing, but it wasn?t happening. I was already full and I HAD to leave room for bread pudding?(I bet you were all waiting patiently for that part to come in!)
rn
Here?s the deal. I LOVE BREAD PUDDING! 

rn
I am with bread pudding what MOST women are with chocolate. It is my favorite dessert?I have traveled the world, the United States looking for the best of the best in bread pudding. Its not a HUGELY common dessert, so when I find it on the menu, I GO NUTS?Okay, I am already nuts, so lets say I go even NUTTIER!! 
rn
The best one I have EVER had was in New Orleans at some little street caf? where it was DRENCHED in a delightful RUM sauce?But Sunday, I found my number two!!! 
rn
It was a cherry/white chocolate bread pudding, and it was absolutely delightful. And I ATE IT ALL!! (Well, the husband helped) and I didn?t ONCE feel bad? WHY? Because, I have lost 61 pounds, and 9 times out of 10, I am good, on plan, and I skip dessert?So this one time, this one day, I was gonna LIVE?WOO HOO. It was worth it?And if I am up two or three pounds this week, I don?t really care. They will come back off and life will get back to normal?
rn
Goal number TWO: I am gonna make myself ?Right? this year?THIS my friends, is finally starting to happen. I feel soooo good about life right now, it?s remarkable. I have not been real excited about anything in my life for far too long?It has brought me, my family and my friends much sadness. I have DEPSERATELY tried to find it back?.But it has proved elusive?
rn
Well, this weekend, as I was cleaning, of all things, I found it. I FOUND my excitement! I had NO IDEA it was hiding on top of the very dusty and dirty Fridge!!! 
rn
I don?t know how it happened exactly or why, but I started thinking of my future with excitement and general fondess. I have been truly blessed in my life recently and I had lost site of that?I have a WONDERFUL husband. A loving, close family, and the VERY BEST FRIENDS a person could have?How did I ever ever forget that????
rn
My husband and I had a delightful time on our date yesterday, and I am hoping that it is truly the start to a better year for us?We laughed?A LOT?And that has been missing for a while?
rn
Goal number THREE: I will find a job I am passionate about! Well, buddies, I cant share a lot of this with you yet, but things are looking up here as well. So keep me in your thoughts, today especially, as I have a very important meeting to attend this afternoon that could be the answer to this delima?
rnrn
So for me, life is good?2007 is gonna be a great year?I have declared it, so it must be true? RIGHT?! 
rn
Thank you for being a part of it, all of you!!!!!!
