Early Saturday

Yesterday went very well. I didn't over do it. I walked for 20 mins on the treadclimber at work, and my knee seems to be ok. It was really swollen last night. My ankle that is. I went to see Taken last night with a woman and her mother last night. It was great fun. Her mother is like 82 and is so funny. I think her daughter was about ready to strangle her. I can laugh at it, cause I don't have to live with it. I hope I am that kind of old lady, kind of crazy. Then we went to dinner and I found out that her and her hubby and her daughter are going to Weight Watchers. The same over 50 lbs meeting that I need to go to. So Monday night I'm going to start going with them. Yippy!!!!!!!! This will be good for me. They are a fun family. Anyway, they are in my church with me, and I think of this as a tender mercy from the Lord. I have been hoping someone around me would help me..not that so much I guess, cause I do have great friends and family, but maybe someone that is working real hard on weight loss. Someone who will help me be accountable. Then here comes my friend to answer my prayers. He loves me!

Anyway............I ate real good last night too. Nice and healthy. I am really going to do my best and stay on the right track, don't go crazy over board this weekend "cause the diet starts Monday". I am going to do the treadclimber both days. I downloaded 2 "CLOSER" episodes on my ipod. That will keep me entertained on the damn thing. I just hope my knee holds up. Check in later.........have a great weekend

    Congrats on finding a local WW friend. I know that when I attended meetings it was easier to stay OP when I had someone to go with. More accountability.

    I was reading some of your previous posts & you said something about putting lotion on. That it had fallen out of habit. One of my goals for this year was to floss every day, brush twice a day. Simply huh? But it seemed so hard to accomplish before I made it a goal.

    Funny how the simplest things seem sooooo hard.

    HI there!
    Thank you for following my blog! So nice to meet you! I LOVE the name of your blog! Cute! Well girl it sounds like you got a plan! And a network of support. All good and necessary! Please, please don't hurt yourself (knee). Realize that doing a little less and remaining injury free is better than killing yourself and being on the sideling not burning calories while you heal. So be cool. Its all good. It'll happen. Promise!Take baby steps, make new habits. One rule i had was not doing something if i couldn't see myself doing it for the rest of my life. Otherwise your just gonna burn your self out and fall off the wagon. Think the turtle and not the hare! Have an awesome week girl! Jinx!

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
