Chin Up!!

Yes--I am still here...Just trying to be a "good" mom to a teenager that can't seem to get the meaning of make good choices and don't lie..If anyone has any good advice I would love to here it! Never thought I have to "babysit" my own 16 year old more than the 6 sweet angels I watch during the day..Enough complaining!!
My diet has still been going great. Still going to the gym (actually signed up for another 6 months) still eating good ( have added a little more food). Started softball for the season and we won are first game (Ya!) If only the weather would cooperate.. Worked in the yard this weekend which always makes me feel good. Even planted some flowers and tomatoes. Just hope they live through this cold! There is a little update in to my life.. I'll keep you posted on my next weigh in which should be next week..until then "chin up"!

Drum roll please....

Last night I weighed in again..Drum roll please......6pds!! That makes for a total of 20 in 8 weeks. I am so proud that all my hard work is paying off and that I just might be able to go on the "swingers weekend" boat trip if I continue at this pace. Today I'm heading up for are annual scrapbook weekend with the girls. I am so looking forward to it. Caylie is going with me and she is going to be spending time with Michelle's niece. Duane and Gage will be home, hopefully they can get along for 3 days. Gage is going to Craigmont prom Saturday night and we are going to let him drive. SCARY! I hope you all enjoy the nice weather we are suppose to have and I'll check in again next week....

Welcome to my world...

I have a funny little story for you..If you have not heard or got the chance to witness my wonderful driving skills here is a first hand idea. Last night I was leaving Crop Paper Scissors heading to my nieces bridal shower with Caylie. I had a lot on my mind (that is my only excuse) at the time and was pulling out on the one way street in front of Hicks Furniture. With everything I was thinking about I choose to take a right on the one way... I drove down the road for about 5 seconds until I realized that all the cars were coming right at me and that I was driving the wrong way down the one way road! With know where to pull over because of sidewalks all I could do was keep driving until the next road( which was a one way) that I could pull in too. Needless to say the lady in the Honda that I was driving right towards was not very happy maybe she is blogging about the crazy driver in the Acura that almost took her out on main street. Caylie keep saying the cops where going to come get us and I told her that was why we were trying to get to the church (where the shower was) and hide out as soon as possible. I'm sure they were looking for a drunk driver and not a mom havin' punch at a church....Welcome to my world!!

FOUR...

Sorry I didn't get back here sooner to put in the magic number but was busy, busy, busy. So there it is 4 pounds. I am very happy but also feel like I have been working so hard and eating so well that it would have been more..Oh Well, I'll happily take 4 over nothing!! I had actually been exercising everyday but yesterday after working at CPS I just couldn't do anything..So today is another day and with the sunshining I'm going to take the kiddies outside and clean in the yard and then it's off to FIT EXPRESS.....Enjoy your week!!

And the Number is.....

I will find out tonight! Tonight is my 2 week weigh in night. I've been doing really good. I have to say I think I am a little OCD with this but that is o.k. if it works..I love that my clothes feel better and I've even been wearing JEANS.. I know surprise surprise!! I've managed to work out everyday. If it wasn't Zumba or Fit Express then I was on my treadmill..I'll post again after my weigh in...Cross your fingers for me!!
