(-15 Pounds) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEE!!

I turned 22 on October 11th...  So about 9 weeks ago I decided that I wanted to give myself a birthday present.... I wasn't feeling too great about the way I looked.. So I worked my BUTT off.. (literally) so that on my birthday I could look at my scale and weigh XXX. ( I had about 17 lbs to loose...) I did zumba.. and ran.. and watched what I ate.. and on the day of my birthday I stepped on that scale.. and was 2 lbs away from my goal! Didn't quite make it but STILL! I was pumped. 

 It was such a fun week ( because of COURSE  you cant have a birthday.. you have to have a birthWEEK!) Thanks to my fam. for making my day so special.. and for going around the table thanksgiving style and saying what you loved and were grateful for about me! ;) 
We had a family dinner the night before at my sisters house... 

They made me cheesecake.. ( my request every year) loved it. 
I woke up to 22 balloons in my living room with the happy birthday banners and everything.. I was so proud of Mark! 
He made me a handmade card.... this super cute nike shoe with a nike gift card inside ( to congratulate me for meeting my goal!! ) 

My birthday cupcake... (ignore the toilet in the background) 

I love birthdays.. but Im sort of sad that the next one is an entire year away!!
