weight loss

I've been working out all week which is surprising since it has been spring break. To begin with I gained weight but now it's dropping off. Yeah! Three pounds so far.

Today my shoulders are sore because of lifting weights. I've been walking the area around the pond by the gym but it got to cold for that so I've also been on the tread mill. The trainer and I are going to rework my program to help lose the weight better. She thinks we can speed things up a bit. This for health purposes since I have sleep apnea. After that subsides I'll slow it back to a normal one to two pounds a week.

I stole this from Memphis Steve who stole it from someone else. I like it because I think it shows what I hear alot: "Where are from? You arent from here." People are usually surprised to find out that I'm a true Southerner and have lived here all my life.

I swiped this from Lola

You Are a Fierce Femme

You have a wild side, and you aren't afraid to bring it out when the time is right. But you also know when to hang back and keep your "crazy chick" persona in check. In fact, some of your friends may be surprised to find out how far you can take it... You may look mild mannered, but it's all an act!

How Daring Are You?

Go ahead and laugh because I'm clutzy.

Well, I have a story to tell about being a clutz, and why it's unwise to leave stuff on the floor in my path. Yesterday I started cleaning out my kitchen cabinets to make room for all the stuff I have crammed in them. Last night I got into the cabinet with my plastic storage containers and spread them all over the floor. Then I neatly stacked them up and decided I would finish with them today. Big mistake.

I got up this morning and fixed breakfast for the kids and got stuff ready to go. I walked all around this stuff and never once ran into anything. Then I decided to have a bowl of cereal. Bowl in hand I turned to walk to the table and stepped on a plastic lid. Now remember I have tile floors now. I went "ice skating" across the floor on my left foot and couldn't stop. I got my first flying lesson with my right leg high in the air, and then dropped the bowl. Of course it broke. I landed square in the middle of the kitchen floor yelling DAMN! on the way down. My son asked me if I had broken my leg and I assured him I hadn't. Just my ego. Though I wasn't entirely sure something wasn't hurt. My husband came in and admonished me for cussing in front of the kids and then left. I "thanked" him for asking if I was okay. To which he informed me that since I was just sitting there he figured I wasn't hurt. He then helped me clean up.

I started making jokes about ice skating in the kitchen and that had not been my plans for this morning. I'd rather be making jokes now than telling people well I'm on crutches because......

Okay, I know I've said this before...

I'm starting a new diet today. I have been so frustrated with my inability to lose weight mainly because I lose momentum quickly. Yesterday I got a kick in the butt that made me rethink my reasoning. I was standing in line to place some things in a kids consigment sale and saw my reflection in a wall of windows. It was a side view and it made realize how big I really am. There were other people of varying sizes and I was the biggest one. OUCH! The windows didn't distort either so it was kind of scarey.

Now I know your saying to yourselves "She sees herself in the mirror everyday why would this suddenly change things now?" I do, but I make a point of looking at myself from the front not the side. Not as frightening size wise. It was enlightening to see myself from a distance and sideways.

I'm starting out at 210 so I'm going to post how I do on here. Just once a week though.

okay, I got a little happy with these.
