4. I have been working out at least 4 times a week.
5. I actually like it.
6. I even worked out today, ON MY BIRTHDAY.
7. I also ate more of my birthday pie so I made up for it.
8. I haven’t had a diet coke in 24 days.
9. I don’t miss it…
10. much.
11. I’m drinking this instead (diluted 1/2 with water) when I need something besides plain water.
12. Last weekend Sciarrino helped me make a scrapbooking kit with my own stuff and I’ve been having a blast playing with it.
13. I like Twitter more than Facebook.
14. This resulted in a take no prisoners “friend” cut.

21. I feel more like me than I ever have before
22. and I like me.
23. I love that I’m watching less TV and don’t miss cable at all.
24. Now the few things I watch seem even better and more special.
25. I’m glad we don’t have pets… the dogs on the corner are so annoying.
26. But fresh eggs from a chicken would be nice…
27. Wait, when’s the last time I used an egg?

    loved this list. really, LOVED this list…
    and you look so great. not just the loss of the baby weight (although, that’s awesome too!), but there’s something else. i think it has a lot to do with 21 + 22. which is so fantastic!
    i’m glad you had an awesome birthday weekend!

    I can’t believe I’ve only lost 3.5 pounds in the last month, it feels like more. I think there might be something to this working out thing. 🙂
