LOSER......

I decided back in February that it was time to get my excess weight under control. I weighed at my Mother-In-Law's the day that I decided the weight had to go. I weighed again right before I started Curves and realized that I had lost 8 pounds. So yesterday I decided that I would weigh on her scales to find myself 19 and 1/2 pounds lighter than I had weighed when I first decided it was time for it to be gone.
I have muscle defintion since I've started Curves. I really love the way that I feel now that I am losing weight and gaining muscle. I am also gaining control over my cravings.

I promised myself to lose 25 lbs before my Birthday this year. I hope that I make it. I only have 6 more lbs to go. Yeah! Happy Birthday to me!!!

Coming Soon....A Smaller Me

I feel that I accomplished a lot for a month of hard work. I am 8 lbs lighter, 8.4 points stronger. Lost 3% body fat. Along with other accomplishments. My clothes are looser. I don't think I will miss any of me that is leaving. I can honestly say that I am a proud loser.

Do You Tell Your Own Stories?

Our middle niece is about to turn 16 years old. She has recently had a boy to break her heart. I know how that felt when I was 16. I am wondering if I done the right thing about sharing that info. It had nothing to do with sex, but I wonder if her parents would mind. Who am I kidding since when does it matter to me if her parents care. Chris and I care more probably.

I don't think I would want to be sixteen again crying over a boy. I don't cry that much over my husband so I know that I don't want to go back to 16 again.

I wonder does everyone think of the what if's in life. Where would I be if I didn't get in that car one year before my wedding? I guess life is full of wonders. It is even harder if you have to face those people everyday. I don't have to face any people everyday.

I guess I feel like a sad Country music song today.

All Growed Up!

We realized this Easter that the children are almost all growed up. (Where has time gone.) Jacob is the smallest one of the bunch, and of course his mother wanted him home so they would be the ones to hunt eggs with him. WRONG! His Aunt Jo always thinks outside of the box when it comes to his mother. We hid a dozen eggs for him before they took him home.

Saturday Chris and I took a motorcycle ride to Madisonville. To realize that it was colder than we thought. We stopped to eat lunch where we thought that we would be able to warm up. We didn't warm up much while we were eating so we decided to go see a movie. We had a fabulous time together. I enjoy the motorcycle season because we get out together more.

My diet didn't go so well over the weekend. I had popcorn at the movies, but only half of a small. I am getting better. I only had a few sips of soda during the movie. Then Sunday was Easter of course. I picked at everything. I only at fruit for dessert though. Lots off the relish tray. I did eat the skin off the deep fried turkey, but not much.

Our youngest neice turned 13 yesterday. She was only 1 year and 5 months old when Chris and I started dating. I don't feel old, but things around me are getting older. Should I feel older than I do?

Tear and Tear again...

When I got up this morning I immediately got dressed to realize this wasn't going to a good day for me. I felt my feelings lingering on my shoulders. I am not sure if the were willing to jump or just fall. Went to Sonic to get two of the three most important men in my life breakfast. The girl got the order wrong then rolled her eyes at me which pissed me off. I told her that my son was the only one that could look at me that way. From that point I new my feeling were willing to jump off my shoulders. Dad and Chris immediately knew that I wasn't in a good mood. They said that my hair told on me if the facial expression didn't. So I took a trip to Madisonville to get a part. I thought that helped, and then low and behold those dang feeling decide to jump of the shoulders again. I finally left the shop and told those feeling that they needed to calm down with a motorcycle ride. I guess they finally resettled into my body because I feel fine now that it is bedtime. Man PMS that sneaks up on you is always disaster.

Phone Rings As I Get Out of Bed....

This morning I got up and went to the restroom as usual, and the phone rings. I answered to "Mom I forgot to tell you yesterday that you have a tick on your leg." My reply "Cody you didn't see my legs yesterday did you?" "Which one is it?" "I just wanted to wish you a happy April's Fool Day" he giggled.

I went to a Weight Management Class Saturday that our local Curves offered to find out that I already knew how to sight a portion, but I have learned how many calories, carbs, protein and fat(grams) a day I should allow myself.

The last two days for breakfast I have enjoyed Huck's Fat Free French Vanilla Cappucino's. I love them. I believe that I am doing well with the Curves program. I feel more energetic.
