This weekend there was a lot of drama at my house. My brother-in-law is turning 30 this week, and he wanted his wife to have a party for him. I don't know all of the details, just bits that my hubby told me, but basically there are scheduling conflicts and the party may or may not happen, and probably will not happen when the birthday boy wants it. So this got me thinking.....
A couple years ago my hubby turned 30, and I threw him a big surprise party. And because it was the weekend of Cinqo de Mayo, I had a great Mexican Fiesta theme. It all went off without a hitch, the hubby had a good time, and it is still one of my proudest achievements. (Graduating from college and bearing children are pretty high on that list too, but that was one heck of a party, and that I pulled it all off in secret while I was pregnant ..... give me some props!)
So later that year it was my 30th birthday. The hubby kept asking what he could do to make it special for me, but all I wanted was a big fat kicking baby out of my womb! (The baby was born 2 days after my birthday....the little stinker!!) So...needless to say....I had a crummy 30th. I thought maybe the hubby would make it up with something really special last year for the 31st.....but we had both been out of work that year, and financially anything Big was out of the question. So I got a dinner out and some nice gifts, and I was more than happy.
So all the recent birthday drama got me thinking.....maybe I will have a really nice birthday party for myself this year. We have some casinos near us, and they just built new hotels onto them, and they have night clubs in them......see where I'm going! But if I have a big night out for myself....i will need to be celebrating more than just 32 years of existing......and just before my birthday will be the 1 year anniversary of my weight loss journey......and I'm hoping to break the 200 pound mark by then.....see where I'm going again??
So!!! IF.....before my birthday......I can get my weight below 200 (27 pounds lost so far, 29 to go in the next 4 months)...then I will get a room at the casino for the night and invite my family and friends to come meet me there for dinner and dancing! Maybe even gambling, it is a casino after all!
This is such a better goal to strive for.....instead of a number I can be racing towards a PARTY!!! And you can all be invited....you just have to figure out the time and place on your own!
