Gosh, I sound like a broken record already and I have a feeling I am only about half way through my wait :( It is looking more like possibly April before I have little Juliana in my arms, and its killing me. So I need to do something that is manageable and keeps my mind in the right place as I wait (because right now my mind is only on Juliana!)....so I have decided that I am going to lose as much weight as I can through the wait. I am holding myself accountable by posting on the blog!!!!! I am hoping that others that have some poundage to lose joins me and we can keep each other going! We will need to post what we've done, any good recipes we've tried, any good health tips, workouts we've done etc. If we don't mention it for a few days, we need to send emails/write comments on here asking where the person is. I am an all or nothing type of person, and well, I know in a week or two, I will be too busy for the gym, and back to eating crap....so keep me on track and I will do the same for you :)
I'm back at the gym with weights and cardio. I've been doing a modified walk/run on the treadmill and then weights afterwards, finish up with abs and stretching! I'm there for about an hour. A few days a week I've been walking with a friend or two, and I LOVE that time. Its an hour of pure venting/girl talk and I love it.
I am a scale-aholic! I must weigh myself twice a day, everyday. But now I weighed myself yesterday and put the scale in my closet. I will not weigh myself until next Friday. I become too obsessed with the numbers so I will make sure I become more obsessed with becoming healthy versus the weight loss.
Food is a HUGE issue for me. I eat constantly, even when I'm not hungry. I also crave the worst foods for me. The yuckier, the better! Its a wonder I only have 20 lbs to lose, if you saw how much I ate, I should need over 100 lbs easy! Sooo I am staying accountable by writing down what I eat, and trying to keep points (weight watchers style). Ultimately I want my body to know when its full, and to make better choices so I don't need to do points. God knows when Juliana comes home I am going to be BUSY with a baby, plus my other two children, so I want this to become second nature for me.
Who is in?????? Come on, someone out there has to have a need to get healthy!!!!!!

I'm with you Jackie! It seems like the gym is my outlet for all my frustrations! Heres to loosing some pounds while we wait! I can't stand it either!
Jackie,
My husband and I are doing the same thing to pass the time with our wait. I plan on loosing at least 10 more pounds so that the pictures in Korea will be ones I am willing to show around to people. HA!
Keep your head up on the wait. When I have checked others from my agencies wait recently, it seems like about 3 1/2 months from approval of the referral to travel call. I am still keeping my fingers crossed for mid to late April or early May - so since your referral came a month before Nyah, I think March sounds like when you will get your call.
We will both be holding our baby girls soon enough! I keep trying to tell myself to enjoy my little one at home now as I won't be able to spend as much time with him in the months ahead.
