MsCezanne's Odyssey

Ian and I went house hunting again on the weekend.

It's not mathematically possible to get a better mortgage than we can now, so uncertainty be damned, we're getting a house!

Well, Easter has come and gone. It's always a time to eat, and I got a free pass from Sherry. I only gained one pound this year though, lol.

I got to see my niece again, which just makes me want a baby of my own!

I got to see Jeri again, and I can't believe how big she's getting. I remember when she was pregnant the first time she seemed just so huge, and yet I don't think she was more than 200 pounds. I guess our perspectives change with time!

Finally, hockey has started up, which means I won't get to see much of Ian until June.

Maybe I'll finally find some time to get my diary back on track!

Weigh in: 393 pounds

Again.

For the last time for a couple years, I hope ;-)

I'm ready to have a baby.

They had to rip my niece out of my hands. I didn't cry, but only because I tried really hard not to. Maybe I'll do that now.

Then I got to see Jeri, and she's such a great preggo, I was a thousand times jealous of her too.

I might steal Sherry's baby when she has it!

My sister had her baby last night!

Little girl.

They're all doing well, and we're going to visit on the weekend.

In other news, I'm back in my routine in a great way. I'm losing weight, gaining energy, and just feel fantastic!

I haven't posted much because... there's just not much to say. I'm leading a dull life, but it's a happy one.

And a niece happier today!

I didn't think it had been this long since I posted!

I'm finally getting back into my old routine, which means regular swims, and regular appoinments with the weights. I vaguely recall bragging how much energy I had, and how strong I was getting. Not so much now! I feel kind of like a weakling, considering how well I was doing until the Thanksgiving Derailment!

I don't regret taking a break though. Well, not now, maybe near the end of my workouts... but that's how you know they're working. I had a great fall, I loved putting on some weight, enjoying some good food, and having a happy holidays. It's not just something you say at the check out!

The holidays themselves were crazy busy, of course. Back home to see family and friends. Nothing like my listening to my sister complain her maternity jeans are too tight while we're having our third serving of apple pie ;-)

Amy came for a visit. I wish I could see her more often, but it was still nice to have a chance to cook for her again! I've missed that a lot! For someone on a diet she certainly put away food like the old days.

Happy Holidays, etc.

I'm off to Toronto for a few days.

I'll be seeing family and friends (including Amy, who's flown home from Calgary for 2 weeks!)
