I had to put that photo in. I want to be constantly be reminded of what I could look like if I go back to my old ways. This site has surely helped me in my new life style.

katherine I am soooooooo glad your date went so well! I remember back in the day *wink wink* what it was like to be feeling that!!!! It is soooooooo fun!

I don't have a whole lot of time to write gotta go to the store and help mom out. My hubby has a job interview---well actually he could start if he wanted but he has to make sure that it will be a good fit for us! Cross your fingers :laugh: I have been up to my ears in garage sale stuff----ughhh my poor eyes, nose and throat are saying HELP US NO MORE DUSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! I have had the washer going all weekend straight! It is amazing how musty clothes can get packed away for 3 years....I just put lots of fabric softner in and bam smells so good and fresh!!! Anyways I just wanted to drop in and say that I am still ALIVE.....I might not be eating as healthy at the moment but I am not gaining. I actually lost a pound so hey that is good.....loves to you both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the the compliment. I know it does not even look like me. I'm glad I have made the change. My grand kids have never seen me thin and I don't want them to remember me as being heavy.

I have been very busy lately. My brother in law owns a bar & grill with a Key West theme here in MA. My sister asked me if I could paint a underwater scene in the long hall which graces the entrance to the restrooms. I did and it came out pretty good, I had not painted in such a long time so I was apprehensive at first. But, it came out pretty good. Now, my brother in law wants a mural with a tropical theme on the outside of the building. It’s about 30 feet long x 12 feet. High. So, that is what I am working on now. I have my Dad, helping with the base colors. We are having fun together. He is so happy doing something different. When, I finish I hope to put a picture of it so you all can see.

However, getting my exercise in has been challenging. I am not on my regular schedule for the exercise but do manage to get some in.

Thankfully, I have been working on my weight loss for some time so it is a little easier to stay in control

Best wishes to all.

Summer is so close now. Even though the weather around here is dismal today.

hey I am still alive, I am in the middle of moving and it has been crazy! If you can bare with me a little longer I will back to posting more!! I HATE moving, especially this move. I love my itty bitty house, and we are moving into an even SMALLER one if you can believe that!!!!!!!! BUT there is a fitness center in the town, not sure what it is like and if I don't like that one there is another one about 8 miles away!! so hey I am trying to find silver lining.....

kay I gotta get stuff ready, Pa is coming over with the truck this mornign and moving big stuff. my hubby wants to spend night at the new house and I am so totally not ready. I maybe a little peaved becuase I am doing almost the entire move myself. MY hubby hasn't done much and I am gettng cranky with him. OH yesterday I was at the house (saul calls it the lello how.....*yellow house* haha) and I had been up since like 5:30 packing up things and loading up his car so I could get a double load. He came to the house after work and layed on the floor and said ohhhhhhhhhh I am so tired blah blah blah as my little boy has been just terrible all day I have been working my bum off....grrr sorry anywaysI think that I am just tired and frustrated. *sigh* ok I am ranting ahahaha

alright I gotta run quick
loves to you and I am going GOING to be back!!!

Hello ladies - she's BACK!!!!! 14lbs heavier too - just proves I cannot do it alone :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Can't even begin to tell you all how much I missed you all. :noway:

Gained another 2lbs over the weekend , which is strange, cos I ate within my calories, and was in the garden all weekend painting fencing, hmmm, prob not drunk enough water, but boy did my legs and arms ache yesterday !!
Anyways, I'm determined to lose those 2 lbs this week, I'm going to open the gym and get some exercise in, and do some healthy food shopping :happy:

My poor dog had an accident a few weeks back - caught her paw in the garden, and managed to sever all the ligaments in her wrist, we had to rush her to the pet hospital for emergency surgery. She has to have her bandages changed every 2-3 days, and naturally, the pet insurance ran out and I didn't realise! So it's costing £967 so far - but I'd pay it all over again to save her. I've renewed the pet insurance too - got one of those rolling policies this time!

I'm going to do the housework now, get some exercise in and then I want to paint my front and back door steps, so I'll speak to you all later.

Hope you all have a great day :flowerforyou:

Jenny - good luck with the house move :flowerforyou:

Katherine - just have a great time, take lots of pics, and enjoy being by the pool - cripes I am sooooo envious, the nearest I'll get to pool side this year is sitting in the garden next to a doggie water bowl! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Oh and the sunshine is great, had a good 8 days of sunshine - I've got a slight tan yeah!!!, and I am making the most of it getting the garden looking nicer - lil' by lil', it's apparently going to change tomorrow, so I've even stripped all the beds :happy:

Jackie I just love your new picture. So glad you are back. I feel like you. I can not do this alone. Even when I don't get on the computer I just think of everyone. This site has just kept me on the right track. It has so much to offer. Just love it here. I have so many great and supportive friends. Stay with it and you will be fine.

Again, happy you are back,

Katherine love your new picture also:flowerforyou:

Good Morning,

Just starting my day. My doggy Bosco got walked and I'm checking in. I plan on going to the gym. I have to go. It's the only way to live. :bigsmile:

Thanks for the complement Katherine. I'm not posting them. I don't think this is the place for it so that is why I sent them by mail.

Jenny I hope your move is going well. I have an itty bitty house myself.:drinker:

Jackie I also hope you are doing well.

Morning all :flowerforyou:
Sorry I've not been around for a couple of days, my 11yr old son is going away to Wales tomorrow with his school for a week, so I've been spending every possible minute with him before he goes - I'm sooooo gonna miss him, he's kinda like my right arm.

Had to go out for last minute things for his holiday this morning, so I decided to get the old walking shoes out, and forget the bus, as it's so lovely again today :bigsmile: I've burnt up 1,000 calories - hmmm, looks like I've got a lot of calories to consume today, and in this heat, I don't feel like eating :ohwell:

I've got to label all his clothes and items he's taking, and pack his case etc - so I'm doing that today to keep me occupied - he's at club until 6:30pm tonight and will be going to bed at 9pm as he'll need to be up and raring to go by 6am, tomorrow morning. Can't get him out of bed until 7:30 most mornings so that'll be fun :laugh: :laugh:


Also got tomato plants that disparately need thinning and rhubarb to trim - quite a busy day - roll on the weekend, I'm gonna have a well deserved rest once my baby Storm has been to the vets for yet another dressing change.

*drum roll please* SHES BACK!!!!!!!!!!! *peeks over a pile of empty boxes and waves*

HI girls! I am here!!!!! Move went ok. Definetly not my favorite thing in the world. I am trying to climb out of this depression. Yesterday I tried the small gym in town. It was completly empty and I was like oh well this should be good....not sweating infront of anybody...
AHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG yeah right.............I was kinda lonely. I had the tv on but it wasn't doing it.....man I miss my sissy in law!!!! I have great GREAT admiration for all of you who have been doing it ALL by YOURSELVES!!!! We are going to go back to Eagle Bend this weekend and I am going to have to dig out my cd player and music. I gotta do something!!!!!
I am just going to come out and say it right here in black and white.

I have been TERRIBLE. HORRIBLE. MY food intake is sky rocketed and my excersise has been nonexistent. I feel like I have gave up and don't care anymore, but there is still apart of me that wants to keep going. I am really struggling but I am trying to get out of it. Here are my goals for this month

I WILL log ALL of my food in MFP
I WILL Excersise 5 days a week
I WILL EAT HEALTHY
I WONT wallow
I WONT feel sorry for myself
I WONT self sabotage myself
I WONT give up.
I WANT to lose 4 pounds
I WANT to feel good
I WANT to get my energetic self back

I can keep doing this, I need to for myself. I do feel better this morning about life in general. I am able to have a little garden here and some flowers so that is great for me. Gardening always cheers me up! THis mornign I am just cleaning up for the weekend and getting packed up! Going to go for a walk with saul into the store to get freezer bags! woo hooo exciting hahahahha So girls I am back! I am glad that you are back jackie!!! Poor puppy, give it a petting for me!
