That's right...Happy Birthday to me. How funny that the title of this blog was the first thing I thought this morning when I woke up. I knew I would write this post and had the beginnings of what I would say. The reason I thought it was so funny is that I never saw the movie about Gillian (or was it Jillian, I can't say). So, to me on my 37th birthday...I say it's been a pretty good year!
Here are just some of the events of my 36th year:
started Weight Watchers the 2nd week in August...
met Steven the 2nd week in August...
quit Weight Watchers the end of August after losing a total of 14lbs...
started my 2nd semester of school at the U of M in September...
finished my 2nd semester of school at the U of M in December...
traveled to AZ to visit my parents before Christmas...
decided to drop out of school in early January when I should have been registering for classes.
introduced my parents to Steven in mid-January when they came home so Dad could have his hip replaced...
announced our engagement to our parents in late January...
planned a wedding for 3 months...
married Steven on May 3rd...
and today...I am getting ready to celebrate my 37th birthday as a Tilseth and with the Tilseths!
I am richly blessed. However, since dropping out of school and quitting Weight Watchers, I have found those lost 14lbs, along with about another 15 so I have lots of work to do in my 37th year! My goal for one year from today is to shed 100lbs JUST by eating the right foods and getting lots of good exercise. It is a new day!
p.s. This isn't my birthday cake here, but if I had a cake designer in the family...it sure as heck would be!!!
