I’m so happy that I had to come on real quick and blog!! Got here early!!

Had a great workout, and I weighed after losing all that water, and I lost 2 pounds! Yay!!

Plus, my workouts are paying off, my tummy is actually getting visibly flatter!! Woo hoo!

I had to post the pics above, they were in my email, and too funny and cute!

How are ya all?

Ted fed me pizza last nite, I had 2 small peices, so I don’t think it was too bad. But he wanted to treat and I had to appreciate it.

Looking forward to learning to use my mp3 player, He has already downloaded some Queensryche for me, next will be AC/DC. Yeah!

He also gave me a lecture about getting proper rest. I have a tendency to burn the candle at both ends, and he worries the I don’t get to bed early enough for my schedule. He is most likely right, so I went to bed at 9:30, but the ferret woke me up at 11:00!! The little poop! So we put him up and I went right back to sleep.

I feel awesome this morning, had my devotions and a good prayer time, and I prayed for you guys!!

Well, I gotta go and start working, I will be back at lunch! Love you all!!

forgot to tell you!!

Ted gave me a MP3 player!! Works great, now I have to learn how to download music!! Woo hoo!! It is from the UK, and is small and cute and pink! The music sounds good, too! I’m real excited about it!

I can’t beleive it…

After weeks of rush, rush, it is slow at work. Actually having to “act” busy.

So how are you all doing?

Is has been so hot here, I have to carry frozen bottled water. But that is good, getting extra water in. I’m thinking my weight gain was some water, all I have been doing today is running, lol.

Well, I am rambling, I best get back to work. Have a good afternoon!

Happy Tuesday!!

family tuesdayDoing better today!! Did my workout and getting lots done!

Not much new here, but the smaller more evenly spaced meals are working real well!

Had a good talk with mom last nite, think she is finally making peace with the idea of dad being in the home FOR NOW. That is good, it is too hot right now for him to come home and they are making progress with him.

Well, Just wanted to share all that with you. Have a great one!! Hugs!

It’s Monday!!

0020.gifSo I get to work and my inbox is buried under!! Yikes!!

Well, my day has not gone as planned. First thing I slept right thru my alarm, didn’t wake up till 5:15!! I have to catch the bus at 5:47. So I flew, but no workout, ugh. None tonite either, ’cause I get home so late.

So I get to work and get slammed. Now I think I’m paying for my mexican food that I had yesterday, ’cause my stomach has not been happy.

So sorry for the whine, but it has been one of those mornings. I know it will get better.

Had a great time with my friend yesterday, after lunch we spent the afternoon at her pool and talked and talked. So much to catch up on. She raises and shows exotic cats! I may go to a show with her. So it was a good day, and I really relaxed, like a mini vacation, and I needed it.

So how are you all? I really need to go post then I will read blogs in a bit! Hugs!

Wanna kick up your summer weight loss Efforts??

Wildcat team is looking for motivated people! We compete with 4 other teams each week. We have alot of fun and get the job done. The accountability is awesome, and you have all these workout buddies to share with! We do not discriminate against anyone, and we welcome all.

If you are interested in finding out about us or want to  join, just comment here or message me or Molly!!

Ok, let’s get serious….

Well, I am up this morning. 3 pounds!! NOT happy about this, but I know what happened. I know combined with not feeling well, stress and the heat, I just got to feeling a little sorry for my self, and got lax. I have to always remember that I can’t afford to let  down like that. I will push thru this and learn what works for me and keep plugging till I get it right.

Thanks, Tatiana for the suggestion of the more frequent, small meals, I am going to do that.

Well, god luck to all the weight loss teams! I know that we all have been feeling the summer slump, so let’s take a moment to refocus on our goals, and remember why we started all this in the first place.

1. to be healthier for ourselves and families

2. to have more strength and endurance.

3. look better

4. develop emotionally and spiritually

5. Be in control of our eating habits

6. wear cute clothes! ( I had to put that one in.)

I’m sure we can all think of more.

I know it is hot, and I know we are all distracted by vacations, the kids being home and all the stuff that comes with summer, but I know we all can handle it and emerge victorious.

OK, there’s your pep talk for this morning, I had to say it, had to get myself back on track.

Love you all, have an awesome Sunday!

Turkey and Peanut butter

So I tried it. Not bad, but won’t be a favorite, but you know I am a curious person when it comes to food.

So how are my beautiful buddies today? I’m doing good, slept in till about 9 am, got up and took the dog, out. Was so hot! I do know it is 114, now. Poor dog does not want to go out till dark. I need to do laundry, but I will wait until dark to do that, too. I did sweep and mop and vaccuum, and cleaned my bathrooms after I did my workout.

I am going to lunch with an old friend tomorrow that I haven’t seen in about 5 years! That should be fun.

I don’t anticipate a loss this week, kinda crashed and burned Thursday afternoon and yesterday, I ate healthy, but too much of it. Doing better today.

Well, I read a real good article to day about being a “Designated Daughter” That means you are the one, taking care of mom, and spending alot of time with her. That is me, I needed to read that article, it really focused on the rewards of the time spent. I can learn so much from mom right now, all the issues of her raising me are done, and we can relate to each other as grown women, and I have learned alot more about her, as a woman, who she really is and not just my mom. I do sometimes feel like it is borrowed time, and I am very aware I won’t have her forever, so I try to make each time we are together count. This 3 days off allows me to do that. We had a god visit with dad, too. I marvel at how lucky I am each time we are together, my parents are awesome, and such role models. I am so happy to finally be making them proud. I didn’t always do that. But now I have the chance to make it up.

Thanks Linda for the suggestion, I am getting some good info on dad. Want to do one for mom too, she already has one started. We sped alot of time talking about their lives and I learn so much, and it is great.

Mom is always insisting that I am so tiny, lol. She is so proud of me and I love it. If all I accomplished was this to make them happy and proud, then that would be enough.

I do love them so very much.

Ok I am rambling here and getting weepy, but I know you all undertand, more than anyone else, I KNOW you all understand.

Well, I guess that is all for now, I need to go post and read blogs.

Geez, I’m so emotional today!

Grab some one you love and tell them you love them NOW!!!

Whew!! What a day!!

Helloooooo Buddies!!! Missed you all sooo much!!

Ok, first of all, THANKS for the prayers!! Mom’s dr appt went very well!! Her heart is in good shape, the dr said, and he thinks her problem is stress and not sleeping well. And he thinks she has a reflux problem, too, and wants her to try Prilosec. Plus he thinks the chest pain is due to some arthritis in her breast bone. So it was good and I am so releived!! So we went out to lunch to celebrate, then went to see dad.

He is doing real well, too.

Boy is it hot out! Got to 115 today and now, at 9:36 pm is still 102 out. Mom and I were out until 3 pm, and then I was wiped out, had to come home and rest. Then wait for Ted to get done on the computer. I did do my workout, but as far as eating, not so good. All healthy stuff, but too much of it. Ted had made the best roast last nite, and I was real weak still from the low blood sugar, that I just ate. And then today, had a healthy breakfast and then mom wanted to take me to lunch, I had grilled shrimp, salad, steamed veggies, rice pilaf, and garlic bread. Then tonite, had some leftover roast on a piece of whole grain bread and some fresh fruit. So, I ate healthy, but too much. I’m coungh.

Well sorry about yesterday, I figured I am gonna have to eat small meals during the day, but closer together, I have been spacing it too far apart, I think yesterday was a warning, scared me, won;t do that again. I had to eat some hard candy and drink a regular soda to come out of it. All in learning. Seems my problem is now low blood sugar, not high.

Well, I need to go post and read some blogs before bed. Love you all!

Nite buddies…

I am so sorry I was so sick at lunch. I really miss reading blogs!! I will be back sometime tomorrow after mom’s dr appt. Just pray for God’s will about that, and for me to have some peace of mind. Have a good nite, and I love you all!!
