Trimming up!!!!

The yard this time!!!! You know how you trim trees and then they look so much better... Well that is what I did this morning and everything looks so much better. The trees I trimmed are Crepe Myrtle's... Pink ones!! So now my grass looks like it is covered in pink ruffled confetti!!!! BeauuuuuutiFUL!!!!

The plus also being.... I get to keep the branches that I want, and look at this boooty!!!!!


It looks like Martha Stewart came for a visit!!!! LOL ....... LOVE IT!!!!

And just like these lovely trees all that was needed was a little TLC, some sweaty work, staying focused, and Ta Dah!!!! They look better than ever!!!!

So stayed focused... I will do... TLC... I will do... and the sweaty work too! To get myself looking as good as these Little Trees.....

Keep on smiling!! It works!!! V

weighing in.....

Well once again it is Wednesday.... the weigh day! So far I have lost 12 + lbs. this past week I lost a little over 2 lbs. It has been 6 weeks, and I feel so much better about myself. This week, Monday and Wednesday I have walked 2 miles, it has not been easy... my feet and legs feel sooooo heavy!! It is crazy to think that it was nothing for me to walk 2 miles a little over a year ago, then the knee injury happened and then the foot pain... and then the excuses and then the weight and then the anger and disgust with myself...
So enough already! For now - Right Now I am able to walk with NO pain and that is G-O-O-D!!! So I will pick my feet up and set them back down and Thank GOD above for my good health and the Sweetest Boyfriend EVER!!!!!

Thanks God.... You're the BEST!!!!!

Alone again.... but I'm OK...

Once more after a lovely visit with P, he has traveled back to his hometown and I am left in mine... I am always so sad after he leaves, it takes the wind out of my sails for just the tiniest bit. I know it seems silly and I really can't figure it out. When I was married, and this is after many years of course, I was always happy to have the time to myself and not have to worry about answering to anyone. Then a change happened to us both... I suppose that is why it always throws me for a LOOP when P leaves. It is only for this summer break, and the another short one in August and then at Christmas and then again in the spring!!!! That's all? Ha HA... But summer break is the longest and it is is much better than it used to be... Nuff said!!

So now I am back to concentrating on staying on track with WW. Today... Not so much! I will be over in my points and that is that... but still in control, its not like I am in front of the T.V. with a bowl full of cookie dough.... Thank you Sweet Heavenly Father and WW for that!!

Remaining positive, here's some good news last Wednesday I weighed in at 3.2 lbs less than last week. So that's good news!! I am pleased and happy to be doing the right things for me!! It does feel good. Does it feel better than eating 4 pieces of yummy thin crust veggie pizza? Maybe not, but I definitely feel better now, than I would after that gut busta!!! HA Ha... Physically and mentally too!! When I make my life about food, I am so miserable! And I absolutlely don't like myself, that is the part that probably makes me miserable... so let's hear it for loving me and good choices and the most wonderful man EVER, who is so supportive in my WW journey... Thank you Sweet P.... Wherever you are!!! I feel your love and support, and for that I am most grateful!

And It Has Begun... YEAH!!!

Well things are sooooo much better!!! I have actually joined Weight Watchers, about 4 or 5 weeks ago! I felt better from the moment I joined, yes it is about losing weight.... But in the long run for me it is about being back in control! There are times when all I want to do is EAT... But HELLO!!! When has that not been the case lately, now I am being held accountable, by myself and a higher power - The Lady at the scales... I always feel judged by her, but I know she really isn't, I hope.... She has been there, she knows!!
The first week I lost just over 6 lbs!.. I was shocked, the next week I lost 1lb.... I was shocked, cause I had been mini-breaking with P all weekend and even though I was under control, we did eat GOOD! The next week I was good, and I gained 1lb! LOL Who knows? The main thing is I was not devastated, I was not mad, I didn't feel cheated, nor did I feel the need to defend myself, I did nothing wrong... I just have a better feeling about me and what I am doing, and that makes me HAPPY!!!
Being back in control, back to walking, soon I will be back to my 2 mile a day habit, for now I am going slowly and SURELY and I L-O-V-E- I-T!!! And I am starting to love me again, now that's a good thing!!!!! :-)
