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.

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...

I did, OF COURSE, go to my meeting last night and found out that I had gain 3 lbs. I wasn't surprised or even really upset. I am just going to loose it. I know what happened last week and this week things will be different. Increase my water for sure!! Stay away from take out and the frankenfood ( I like that name, it fits!). Make good food choices and plan ahead. I should have eaten something before I went to the Bday dinner and the party Sunday. I went to both places too hungry. So I am going food shopping today. I am "thinking" about trying out cooking some new things. I don't cook, so that why I am just thinking. I know, I know.....I need to do it. I am signing up for a 10K on Thanksgiving Day. It's called the Turkey Trot. My daughter and some other family members are going to do it with me. I am sure I can walk it. I would l...
