Can we all please discuss how amazing a Skip It would be?

I am writing this post for one main reason. The Skip It. Derek and I were talking earlier about various fun things from our childhoods, and I had the most amazing idea. I want to own a Skip It. Can we just imagine how great of a work out a Skip It probably is? Especially when done for long periods of time. I'm kind of in love with this idea. Unfortunately, I have no yard or driveway or any real place to use a Skip It, so it doesn't seem like a logical investment (plus I can only find a Barbie Skip It, which I would probably buy anyways because it's pink and has sparkles on it. Sparkles!

Over the course of the next few months, and years for that matter, this journey is going to be filled with a plethora of ups and downs. There are going to be small victories and gigantic milestones, and I am so excited about this. Some of these victories and milestones I am so excited for. One thing I have always wanted to be able to do was wear American Eagle jeans. I have never fit into them before, and I've always fantasized about owning a pair. And now, after only four weeks of this, I am 1/2 an inch closer to my waist fitting in. I still have about 3.5 inches to go, but it's completely worth the wait and the battle to me. There are a thousand other things I'm excited for. My first bikini (which I have totally already picked out), fitting into the shirt I've kept for years even though it doesn't quite fit anymore and going upstairs without getting out of breath. These are just a few of the things I have to look forward to. 

In today's news, I still have not gotten any mail and I am unbelievably in love with Skinny Cow ice cream. Have you ever had it? Get it! It was on sale this week so we got the cookies and cream ice cream sandwich, which only has 160 calories. Since I don't crave ice cream terribly too often, it's 160 calories well well spent. Honestly, it was far better than some of the full fat ice cream sandwiches I've had before. I must try for any healthy eater with a sweet tooth.


I would like to update the design of this blog to better match my purpose here and my (awesome) personality, but it's been so long since I've done any HTML work, it'll take me a bit to fully figure out what I want to do. But, look forward to it. Also, I swear I'll put up that before picture (even though it's been a month), but I almost always update using Derek's laptop and my picture is on my Mac, which is all the way over there (I'm pointing at it, but you can't see it). At some point in time though, I will upload it!

Have a wonderful day everybody. And stay healthy!
