Lunch With The CarbTripper


This is me and the blogger Carbtripper, or Anne, as I like to call her. She was passing thru town on her way to Cali and we had lunch. This was the 1st blogger I have met in real life. It was a nice time. She was a lovely person and easy to chat with. I wasn't able to be gone for very long so we had to cut it short after about an hour. Anne is continuing on a spiritual journey. I wish her all the best! Her blog is carbtripper.blogspot.com. I am a linking dummy, sorry. Check her out. She is a woman of few words (on her blog that is is...lol) but gets her point across very well. Also her pics are awesome, she has a great eye of what to shoot.
I have had a great week. food has been so much better then last week's. I haven't been munchie and I have getting my water in. I walked everyday, but not really a work out. This morning was a super slow walk with a friend and then we headed to the Aloha Festival. I eat some super salty Kahlua pork....ick. I didn't finish it, so that was a good thing in the end. Lots of slow walking around at the festival as well. Didn't buy ANYTHING! *pausing while I break my arm patting my own back*
The wedding Thursday night was fun. My boss's daughter's 3rd marriage. They really are such an intersting family. I know 4 generations of them now for about 10 years. They are truly a 'tribe' to be studied...lol.
I have been thinking about friends lately. I am so grateful for my blogging buddies. I know that you are a huge reason for my success this time around. Not only for my success, but for all the fun I've had doing it. These 1st 75 lbs seemed to fall off me. I worked at, no doubt, but it didn't seem like work.
Another huge reason is the support from my friends and family(especially my daughter and my sisters) in my real life. I have a huge network that draw on for support. They always tell me that I can do anything. That I am a capable person. Add to that the fact they are always happy for my successes, and well, what can I say?? I feel totally blessed.
I am not married, but I have good, decent men in my life. From my own son and SIL, to the men that I go to church with, the hubs of friends, to the men (except one ) in the family the employees me. Again, I feel totally blessed.
I feel so grateful to have this supportive bunch of "cheerleaders". It's what makes life worth living!
Keep the mood and the food real..........be someone's cheerleader!

    What fun! Meeting people IRL from online is great fun. In fact, I'm having dinner tonight with four other women whom I met online almost nine years ago. It's getting harder to get together, but we still do it.

    Happy Sunday - and great picture of the both of you!

    I'm glad you had such a fun time with carbtripper. I am seriously indebted to all of you guys too. It's not only fun to have cheerleaders and an outlet for all the "emotional crap" but it's awesome to BE a cheerleader. It's made such a difference.

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...
