Guilt...

Okay, in NY around this time of year the weather is typicall hot and humid- days like today don't really come alone that often becuase it was nice, sunny, and breezy- today I took advantage of that!

I feel guilty but...I sat outside reading my new book. Ahh, I needed a mental break- and to boot I got a kick butt farmers tan!

My view at lunch:

We have a dance competition tomorrow in Rochester and then 4th of July activities the rest of the weekend.

Have a great day!

A wise Art Teacher once quoted...

Today on facebook my high school art teacher put on the news feed:

An old man once said:

          "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

 

Thanks Mrs. C for reminding me of this.

 

Happy Wednesday!

Week 17-Back on Track

Happy Tuesday!

Can you believe its the last week in June! I cannot! The time is flying by. We are so busy that I honestly think that summer will be gone before I have time to enjoy it, if you know what I mean.


This is the first time I have weighed myself since I went to TN, I was a little nervous!  I will not lie! Ha.


Since we ate this:

These are PBR's favorite things: Fried Pickles.  I know sort of gross, but she insisted I try them.  She perfers the spears as you taste more pickles than fry stuff. They were ok-I am not sure I will run out and get them tomorrow but...with a beer, ok.

And these:

I guess you are in the south when Fritters are just placed before you.  I told PBR that I have never had them-she replies "Don't freak out there is corn in them" Ha! So funny-I didn't, but I really appriciated the warning none the less.  They were good-mainly reminded me of an elephant ear you get a fair. But hello they had powdered sugar on them...who can go wrong.

Those two pictures alone you can see why I was a little hesitant to jump on the scale...but I did this morning. Even after a wedding and birthday party this weekend, and I am happy to report:

Pounds this week: 4 (over a few weeks)

Total pounds: 34 (WHAT??!!?!)

Have a great Tuesday!

I'm back--Has this ever happend to you?

Hello! I am back, I went to TN and well...I LOVED IT!

Updates: Yes I lost that final pound before TN, I haven't weighed myself since I have been back, that will happen on Monday, June 27.  I am a little scared. Not that PBR and I ate a lot but we didn't always eat right. Which is to be expected since we were on vacation! Ha. We were very busy as well, concerts daily and nightly! So much fun!

First, check out my sneakers, has this ever happend to you? I never have...strange.

Second, below are a few pictures from TN, enjoy!

Have a great week!

Week 13

Hello and happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day-I spent time with some great friends and my family; went to Old Navy got some great $3 tees and Mother Nature gifted me with yet another farmers tan-this time RED! Oops-I guess I forgot the sun screen on myself-the kids had it however.

Total Weight Loss: 29 lbs

Days to TN: 8 days

I cannot believe that TN is only a week away. The list has started to form.  And my goal is 30 lbs before I leave for TN-1 lb to go...here is hoping I can get rid of that by next week! I will be one happy little chica!

Have a great Tuesday!

Going Public

Going PUBLIC??!!?!?

Wait, what the H did that just say?

I took the plung--I went crazy--I took it off--I opened my heart--I opened my mind--

I opened my journey

Yep I took off the private setting, I am feeling a little naked in front of the world.

But hey-there you go!

Welcome new comers and I hope you find something that motivates you!

Going to the movies tonight with friends-Hangover 2!

3.10685596

3.10685596

Wonder what that number is? That is a 5 K in miles and I did it.  I said I had a personal goal to achieve which was walk my very first 5K.  And I had the pleasure of walking with my mom, best friend, Brooke and a mutual friend Cindy.  The Guthrie Gallop took place May 7, 2011-and I lived to tell about it!

Don't we look all perky and pretty

**Insert Nana and Cindy-picture will not load correctly**

The above picture is of me and Brooke before the big start.  The 10 K runners started before us (thank goodness) and we started at 10 am.  We checked in, got our numbers and shoe thing-a-bobs (they track when go across the line-I am sure they have a very technical name but I have no clue).  As usual my shins started killing me with in the first mile-ugh, someday I will figure out why that is-but around mile 2 they just went numb...so we worked with it!


I am proud to say that I didn't die or give up...

• Was I the first: nope
• Did I have fun: yep
• Am I proud of myself for doing it: yep
• Will I do another: hopefully
• Plans for next year:  RUN (what did I just say?) But realistically I should be MUCH lighter by then so.....fingers crossed.

So- I am sure you are wondering our time...it was right around 57 minutes.  Which I guess isn't too bad and about right on for me as I walk 2 miles in 45/50 minutes during the week.


Here we are after:

Mussed hair, no sunglasses...looking like we just walked 3 miles in the sun! Ha.

They provided us with healthy, fun snacks and pizza. I find that completely comical!


Here's to next year and marking that off my bucket list (which I am working on)!
