Good Monday

I really had a good weekend. I didn't go crazy eating, and I walked both days. Sunday I got up and was out to my daughter's house. I got the kids up and dressed and we even made french toast. I enjoyed myself so much. I just let Mom and Dad sleep. I have 4 grandkids ages 5-16 months old. Then after my daughter woke up I took the boys and went for a long walk. The 3 year was out front and the 5 year was a straggler. It wasn't much of a work out, but I was moving. I went to the movie a couple of times. I had to see Slumdog again. I loved it and was glad it won last night. I was tired and missed the whole show. That is a first, I usually watch.

Well tonight will be my 1st weigh in at weight watchers. I am happy to be getting started. Treadclimber for at least 20 mins today, depending on the knee/leg. I am calling the doc today. Even other people were telling my how huge my ankle is. Anyway, I am taking it easy, but I have got to keep moving. I am filling up my gallon jug and plan on emptying it, or close to it. I really love water, I don't know why I am not drinking enough.

I want am anxious to see how much I can loose till I go to my nephew's wedding. I also want to fit into the pants my friend gave me. About 15 pairs. I would need to loose about 20 lbs to get into most of them. I just want to be healthier. I noticed just since walking the past week or so that I wasn't as winded when I was helping with the kids Sunday morning or going for the walk.


Update..........I did walk for 20 mins on the treadclimber and I have very good about eating so far this afternoon. The doctor called and I am going to get an MRI. He thinks maybe the cyst is sitting on nerves or other things. Finally he is sounding helpful. I have had a good day, and here's to a good night!

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...
