Defying gravity

Today we went to see Wicked, and I was blown away. It's such a great show and I was completely impressed and moved by everything... the singing, the acting, the dancing. I've seen several broadway shows before and I don't think I've ever been as moved. The end of Act I even brought me to tears- Dee Roscioli (who plays Elphaba) is incredibly talented and the lyrics of "Defying Gravity" get me every time. It really hits home for me because I've finally come to the point in my life where I feel the same. It's about taking that leap of faith, trusting your instincts, and not letting anything in the world get you down. It has such a powerful message. I feel like making "Defying Gravity" my credo, my mission... EVERYONE does deserve the chance to fly and I need to remember that I've proved I'm worthy enough to open my wings :)

0 weight change this week. I brought my points tracker to my leader to see if she can figure out why the scale isn't budging when I've been working out hard and doing what I'm supposed to be doing. It isn't easy seeing those numbers, especially when I've worked so hard, but it's a plateau. And I REFUSE to let it get me down, damnit! How can I possibly get down when I was able to put on a dress today to go to the theatre in that I was wearing my senior year of high school?!? That's even more crazy to me. Not like I was in great shape in high school, but I like to think I was a lot thinner than now. After all the huge changes in my life, it's nice to know I did something right and that I can still feel like I'm getting in the best shape I've ever been. I'm not there yet, but I will be.

We had a great dinner with Jess tonight and some ice cream too! It's so nice to have a friend somewhat close by to count on, and Logan and Dexter adore her. It's been awhile since John and I've been on a date, so it was very much needed. She told me she's moving close to the zoo in a couple weeks, so it will be great to take Logan to see her and have a zoo day! Logan LOVES animals, and it's fun hearing him try to say new animal names. So far the word he says most is dog, but it sounds more like "gog." Tonight my neighbor had her cat outside and he clearly said "kitty." It's the cutest, and I just want to gobble him to pieces hearing him say words!

Anyway, not much else going on this week. Next weekend is Julia's bachelorette party, so hopefully I can relax and have a good time. I'm taking Logan to my parents' Saturday to stay overnight while I go to NY. I wanted to give John a weekend to himself too, and my parents get to spend time with Logan out of it, so I felt like everyone wins! I can't wait to see Jules- it's already been a few months and I can't wait until the wedding.

So much going on- busy, but very happy :)
