Consistency

   
     I am so frustrated with myself for not staying consistent. I am letting little things throw me off. Vacation, being sick, stress... It seems like one little thing happens and I am starting all over again. I will not give up, though. I'm stronger than that.
     4 weeks from today til the cruise, so it's crunch time. It really isn't going to be about how I look. That isn't going to change a lot in 4 weeks. But I want to have energy and confidence to enjoy the trip. Roger and I actually just booked our second cruise for the end of next year. Another goal I suppose.
     Last weekend in Vegas didn't turn out to be as successful as I had hoped. And I'm not even talking about the food... yeah... I won't even go there. We had set up an appointment back in August to look at the venue that I really like for the wedding. No one showed up for the appointment. Apparently the lady that made our appointment is no longer there and didn't put our appointment on the group calendar. We still got to see the outside of the venue, and the inside of the reception hall through windows. It really is a beautiful place, and while we were looking around I couldn't help but see visions of our wedding day. I have spoken to a couple of people from the venue since this weekend, and they have been very helpful and apologetic. They are working with us to make things right, but it still makes me just a little nervous about their reliability. I am confident, though, that everything will happen the way it is supposed to and it will be a day we will never forget no matter where we decide to have it!
     This week also brought a nursing program meeting. I was so grateful Roger went with me to the meeting. I felt like my head was spinning! There was so much information, and it left us with a lot to think about. The two years during the program is going to be tough... for both of us... but it is going to be worth it. I feel like if I made it through this last few weeks of having 3 classes, working over time, and going on a weekend getaway alive, I can handle anything! We got to hear from faculty and current students. It was really nice to hear their perspective on things and how they handle family, life and nursing school. We'll be ok!
     As far as the weight loss goes, I have just been staying pretty much the same for the last few weeks. Up and down, playing with the same 3-4 pounds. Last night I decided to join a DietBet that goes until Thanksgiving Day. Perfect since we leave that night for Florida. DietBets helped me a lot when I was losing weight before, and I am excited for the extra motivation again! I'm excited to get back on track for the next 4 weeks and then have some fun in the Caribbean!
     I really hope, most of all, that through this blog you are able to see how crazy this journey really is. It's not easy, I'm not perfect, but I am committed to coming here and putting down my thoughts every step of the way. Even when it's not great - like the last few weeks have been. But here's to taking every day step by step. Getting back to basics, and doing this to get back to a better version of me!
