29 and committed yet again

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 29 years old. Holy cow. I had a great weekend and pretty much celebrated the entire weekend which was kind of awesome. Saturday I had church which was awesome as a girl-night reunion with Krystal and Marissa. I don't know when three voices ever blended so well as ours do. I am sad that it will probably be the last time we will get to sing together. Then Eric came over and he, Steve, and I sat outside and watched fireworks while eating s'mores. We can see them decently well from our house in the front yard. Sunday we got to sleep in a bit and then had lunch with my dad, Thomas, Tori, and Trevor at the Mexican restuarant. Though we had a little trouble finding a table that my dad could sit comfortably in while in his wheelchair, the food was great and I even got a birthday dessert. Thankfully no one sang to me though. Steve and I then went down to Quincy to see a movie and have dinner. We saw Monte Carlo, which is just a chick-flick. The movie was good though the annoying girls who sat behind us and kept talking were not. We ended up moving farther away from them which helped some. Then we wen to TGI Fridays because I love that place. All in all it was a great day. Yesterday on my actual birthday I got woken up by my grandma who called to tell me Happy Birthday. We had lunch with her and my mom and stepdad at the local chinese restaurant, mostly because it was one of the only places in town that was open! After we went home and took a nap, we headed up to Carthage to watch fireworks with Eric since they were actually holding them on the 4th. We had dinner at a local restaurant that served us even though they had closed 15 mins before we got there. Then we hung out until it got dark enough. The fireworks were awesome and we picked perfect seats to watch. I got eaten alive by the mosquitos but otherwise it was awesome. I think this was one of the best birthdays I have had in a long time.

Regarding the recommittment. I have gained all but about 19lbs back that I lost. I realized that I hate feeling fat and gross so even though I am not really in the mood to focus on losing weight, I am going to focus on my eating at the least and start walking again. I am also drinking lots of water which my body really needs. So we will see if I can get my head in the game by forcing it to be. I had set a goal to be at my goal weight by my 30th birthday. So I have exactly a year to lose about 100lbs. Good grief. I may not be able to make that but I can surely put a good dent in it.
