You reap what you sow....

It is so damn hot!! It was 96 degrees here at 5 am. I did not walk outside this morning, but came to work early and got on the treadclimber. After about 10 mins I was sweating up a storm and was dieing to get off. I stuck it for 30 mins and felt like I had done 60 mins. It is getting hard to stay focused. I didn't have a great weekend food wise. I have a weigh in tonight, it will be what it will be.

I went to see The Hurt Locker on Saturday. Pretty good movie! Better then any of that blockbuster crap out this summer. Went out to my daughter's Friday and Saturday nights and had fun. I just seemed so exhausted this weekend. Mood wasn't the best. Of course, I put on a happy face. I just feel so freaking whiney (is that a word) lately. Life is really pretty good. Why can't I see it that way. It is so frustrating.

On a great note......my daughter gave me some really cute size 16 skirts.....that FIT!! I still almost cry to think I can fit into her fat clothes!! I wore one to church yesterday and got all kinds of nice compliments. That made me feel good. I have to remember that one bad weekend, week, day, whatever, does not equal failure!! This is something that I want to do for a lifetime. Life is full of ups and downs. Just like me...ups and downs.

Going to guzzle water today and get ready what is sure to be a kick in the pants weigh in. You reap what you sow....keep the mood and the food real

    Great job and so exciting about that skirt. You are doing a great job!

    I vividly remember when I was able to get into regular sized clothes. It was an awesome day!

    Hooray for fitting into size 16!

    And it doesn't have to be all or nothing. Have a piece of cake once in a while - life is too short otherwise! :D

    Happy Monday!

    That is so awesome that you are fitting into size 16 - and got some new, free clothes to boot! You are doing great, even when you have not-so-great days - it's the overall picture that is important.

    And 96 at 5am? Ugh. That is just too darn hot.

    "Freaking whiney" is a phrase I use regarding myself on almost a daily basis. =)

    Good luck for the weigh in and good grief sis, we have been on this journey for a while now, a wee off weekend doesn't spell failure.

    Mind you, I too have been feeling really tired just lately, beginning to think I am about to succumb to a virus or something.

    Anyhoo, hope you can cope with the heat, get a half-decent weigh in and feel a bit better soon. Size 16 skirts are still a dream for me (sigh)!

    Yes, Oh Yes whiney is a word and an action. I been there done it.

    Size 16 yeah! Can't wait to get there. I'm still in 18/20's. I'll get there and WE will get even smaller.

    Here's to a great week!

    I need to drink more water. I sat down just now and drank the first glass of water I've had all day. Not good to do right before you go to bed. :)

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...
