Winter has finally come here! It got so cold with the wind during the night our pump in our well froze! I got up to no water, which makes for no cofee ! I get up at 4 to get ready for work, and boy was I upset! I can’t believe how long the morning seemed without my cofee ! Try being around 5 preschoolers with no caffiene ! As soon as we dropped the children off at school we stopped at the gas station and I bought the biggest cup of coffee I could! Hubby is trying to get out of work early to get our pump thawed hope he can! It is a pain without water! This doesn’t normally happen! We got so use to the good weather I didn’t even think of it happening!

Thanks for all your advice on my previous blog! I know you are all right about it! I would not have liked it either if someone pushed me when I wasn’t ready to committ to doing this myself! I just worry about her! I worry not just about her weight, I worry about her not taking her diabetes serious! She knows the consequences! My brother, her husband also a diabetic had gastric bypass surgery about 2 years ago and has lost over 100 pounds and no longer needs to take insulin! I am so proud of him! I hope that seeing what I am doing will show her it can be done!

Have a great day everyone!

I was watching The View today! They had a weight loss challenge, to lose 10 pounds in their 10th season. You could win a $5,000.00 wardrobe. Curves is also involved and they have an offer of 30% off the service fees and the first month free. It was a very interesting program today it had two women on their that had lost a lot of weight. One women had lost 230 pounds……

I have been a little under the weather the past couple days! I came home from work yesterday sick, went in this morning, but took the afternoon off……I feel tons better now after a little nap.

I am doing okay with my excercising though I did not excercise this morning, but I did yesterday.

I am starting to get compliments on my face looking slimmer, just wish someone would notice my butt getting smaller…..oh well, hubby does! One compliment came from my sister-in-law and it really surprised me as she is overweight herself and also a diabetic and is not eating right or taking proper care of her health and I think jealous of the fact I am trying to get healthier. I try to talk to her about doing it for the fact of her health, but don’t want to sound pushy, but maybe I should.

Well it is time to go make dinner!

Hope you all have a good night!

but Mary, I won’t let it ruin my trip! I am right back on track!

Yesterday we went to a Memorial Service for my Aunt Dorothy who passed away on Monday! She was a wonderful woman that I loved dearly!

We had a get together after the service and of course more food than you can imagine. I took a veggie tray and I vowed I would be good and just have a little of spoon of all the bad carbs loaded foods I try to avoid. Well I did well until it came to my nieces scalloped corn. I had to big spoonfulls! I had also had a small piece of pumpkin cake that my Aunt Dorothy’s grandson made from her recipe. I didn’t beat myself up or anything, but I did feel pretty lousy not sticking with my plan, so today I am right back on track with my eating!

I hope you all have a great day!

This morning I wasn’t going to work out as I did it yesterday! We have our 4 year old granddaughter here for the weekend! My granddaughter asked me “Na Na aren’t you going to dance excercise?” I said no, because I did it yesterday! She then said Na Na but if you want to be skinny you have to excercise every day and I will  excercise with you! So I got an extra day of excercise in!

Oh, as for complaining about hubby being a computer hog, in my last blog, he really deserved his computer breaks. He got a lot of manly (per Michele)things done around the house. He finally did his tool closet, he put in a new shelf there and he put in a new shelf above my new washer and rearranged the living room all while I was at work! He has done dishes and some of the cooking too, so I won’t begrudge him time out to play his dingy base ball game on the computer!

Today is my weight day and I am down 2 pounds for this week!

Have a great day!

My goal is to excercise at least 3 times a week to start! I am going to try every other day for now. I excercised on Monday and Wednesday and plan on tomorrow morning too. I did an 8 min. Core Ab work out on Mon. and an 8 min. Core stretch work out on Wed. I am a little sore, but nothing I can’t live with. I am so out of shape I knew starting small was better than nothing at all!

Hubby was off yesterday and has the rest of the week off, and he is a real computer hog, so I have to get on when I get a chance.

Hope everyone has a good day!

back to work today so I think this will go easier for me now. I don’t know what to do with the free time when I am off work, it was so tough not to eat out of boredom! I gave myself a lot of pep talks and of course came on here to get some advice and inspiration! 

Hubby was suppose to be off this week, but first he had to go in this morning for a couple hours then he called and said it looks like he has to be there all day! So much for getting the closet straightened out that houses all his tools. Yikes………it is a good thing I rarely go in there…………I can’t wait until spring when we build our new shed then I can gain a closet!

Hope you all have a super wonderful day!
