December 6, 2006 – My offspring (ages 29, 26, 23 & 16) are planning my 50th birthday party and they think I don’t know what’s going on! My 16 year old came asked me my favorite cake flavor. I told him what it is but reminded him that I can not have cake until my next birthday. He said he just wanted to know & that no one is buying any cake. Those kids are hilarious!! The really great thing is that my husband will be included in all the celebrations now that we are “dating” again. It is a little weird but everyone is being very positive about the recent changes :lol:

The GREAT news is my birthday incentive dress fits me!! I bought this dress in July and thought I would never be able to wear it. I tried it on yesterday and, TA DA! It fits and looks FAB U LOUS!!! :dance:

My husband is really pleasantly surprised at the number of changes I have made in my life. Yesterday after dinner I told him I had to take my walk. He looked at me and said “Who are you and what have you done with my wife?!” We both went on the walk and it was fun to walk and talk together. He used to ask me to go walking all the time and I NEVER went. I just didn’t have the energy and would be embarrassed when I started huffing and puffing along the way. Now, I want to walk even farther than he does. It is very hilly here and it is a really great workout for both of us. He said his doctor will be very pleased that he is getting more physical activity because he has been nagging him about it for the last two years. He is very trim and has always been very slim and trim. He has the WORST eating habits and I have started some small tweaks to the meals we have together (no more fast food when he is with me). He is loving it! When I told him my gym schedule I think he almost passed out :lol: He is very supportive of my new eating & exercise plan.

I went through my closet again yesterday and have another huge box of donate items. It is very motivating when cloths that fit me a month ago are too big to wear in public now. It keeps me on plan and helps me keep up my exercise program. The only thing that sucks is some of my shoes don’t fit me any more. I have a very special relationship with my shoes and it is almost impossible to say goodbye to any of them. Maybe because when none of the cute clothes would fit I could always find a pair of FABULOUS shoes that would.

Another great day…more later.

My husband told me last month that if I threw out all my size 6 shoes and size xsmall tshirts (my "fat" feet have grown to size 7 and my old shirts wouldn't fit one of my busoms now) he would buy me a new pair of Prada's for Christmas. Now, if I just keep on the plan, I might have smaller feet again soon. I will hold off on the shoes and maybe get a nice handbag instead...

Wow PJ, together after being apart for 3 years! How wonderful.
I'm sure there is some sadness about missing 3 years but perhaps you both needed that time. I hope everything works out for you both again. Sure sounds like it is! :heart: :rose:
It is funny to hear you speak of your children as offspring. I usually hear that term when people are mad at their kids :-P
You're doing great!!! I can't wait to get where you are!

I am going to try and get a photo out this birthday celebration. I am still very camara shy and am usually the one behind the camera. If I get a good one I will post it for everyone's viewing pleasure. :couch:

Wow. Just catching up. I'm so happy for you, PJ! And good for you for being big enough to make the first move rather than letting stubbornness and pride get in the way of your happiness.
