Waking up and feeling good :)

Today I was able to wake up and feel good. 
(It was a nice change from the bloated mess I have been lately.) 

I mean, have you ever just felt thinner? 
Like, your shorts are just loose enough, your shirt hugs the right way.  It was so nice that I actually felt excited to get on the scale.  It was good to get a positive response.  181.8. 

That's only a few ounces less than my last post about the numbers, but see...I may or may not have neglected to post about the weight GAIN I had recently participated in.  I teetered in the 184 range for a few days, so to be tracking and eating and losing is absolutely wonderful.

Now I am not delusional enough to think that I am not just one yogurt away from 182.
I get that.

However, getting to feel like I was able to get over that silly little bump in the road is a good way to start the day. Speaking of today, there is only 1 day of summer school left; and as of this morning I couldn't be more excited!  I can't wait to begin doing my early morning routine.

I also can't wait to begin cooking more.  In the summer I look forward to trying new recipes, and making things from scratch.  I really want to make homemade ketchup this summer, continue making my own salad dressings, and continue making delicious desserts from that wonderful book.  (*We had frozen peach cobbler squares last night and they were DELICIOUS)

I'm happy to be happy.
I'm happy to have something to look forward to.
I'm happy I to have the life I have to live.
