enjoy the good times





Hope everyone's Monday is off to a good start. Just going to share a few pics from my weekend. Food was ok. I did over do it Saturday evening. Home alone=eating. Oh well. It wasn't terrible. Today is a new day. As you can see by the top pic it was a beautiful weekend. We had a great time at the park then hit the library then took them home and got the girls and took everyone to the park. I was still home by 2pm. That's when I decided to stay in and watch the season about Mad About You I got from the library. That's when the eating started. Thank goodness I fell asleep early.

Got up and hit an AA meeting I used to go to. People had no idea who I was. Made me laugh...and my head did swell a wee bit. Got to watch out for that. Then church. Then out to my Darling Daughter's house. We took the kids for a drive and we looked at houses. She loves to look at homes. We found an empty one with had a mother-in-law quarters. It was a beautiful home. We can dream, can't we?

Got in a good walk yesterday and got out early this AM with a buddy. I have not been as focused on what I am putting in mouth. I doubt that I will see a loss this week. I haven't gotten the scales out of car since last Wed. I don't know if I should be worried because I am not worried about this. DO NOT LAUGH!hehe

I really have about 50 lbs to go to be in my ideal weight. I really could care less about that. I feel great! I think I look so much better. I do want to loose another 30lbs. I want to loose maybe 7 lbs before I wear the capris that were given to me. It's kind of like I HAVE to. I have no other pants. That is motivation! They zip up easily, I just feel they are too tight. This is my new short term goal.

The 2nd pic is Gkid that insisted I call him Master Chef....seriously, he said this. He was helping me make french toast. I really did have a nice weekend. Well better sign off and get to work!

Keep the mood and the food real............enjoy the good times.

    Ahhh someone else that loses control of eating when home alone and faced with a quiet night. :-)

    Your weekend sounded fantastic! Loved the pictures!

    Yep, me too. Home alone = mindless eating.

    Ooh, a house with a MIL in back sounds ideal - wonder if you two could make it happen?

    I hate mindless eating - usually afterwards I think of what GREAT things I could have eaten with those calories...oh well, it's done, right?

    Cracking up at you not being worried - so glad you are keeping the scale in the car. The focus, as you said, is on being happy. And who knows, you may just want to lose enough to get into the capris and then work at maintaining for a couple of months. Nothing wrong with that...it's not like we're in a race - we just have to do what feels best.

    I saw the name of your blog and I just had to come check it out! I am also not feeling the motivation of weighing myself after an overeating Saturday/Sunday

    Those quiet evenings with a little privacy. Some of my most destructive but temporarily satisfying food fests took place then. Always with regret the morning after. Just not worth it.

    Love your helper in the kitchen!

    I could really stand to lose about 30 pounds. Guess I shouldn't eat Chinese food and chocolate all day long!

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...
