Scrapbooker in Training...

Amanda cane over and we spent the day scrapping... It was a great day filled with movies, chatter, idea swapping and laughter.. I couldn't ask for a better daughter -in-law....  Jenns gets home with the kids and Kenzie runs down screaming.. I scrapbook wit my gamma... Sure enough she finds a spot and away she goes....... I think we've created a monster!!

The 3 C's........

Last week I decided to change my eating habits , amd add a little excercise in for a stress relief and to try and get a little healthier ... By George.... I stuck to it and did good ... It's amazing how just a little bit of change can make you feel a whole lot better !!

Slow Start..........

Slow start to change but I did it.....

Today's Letter "S"............

Today's  workout brought to you by the letter "S" for SUCKS!!!  I bought what a
I call  my fat suit to work out in .. It's one of those plastic sweat suits and Ohhhhhhhh how it works .  I hate the heat . So today , my house was already warm and muggy ....

May10th 2014-Welcome to club 40. My friend!!!

Removing the evidence!!!

Accountability.....

Glad I started working out on Sunday because I know for a fact I wouldn't have this morning ..

.

Two important things I've realized about working out at home.....

1) It's much harder - I was getting up at 3:45 am daily and driving to Moses Lake,I could count the times I didn't go.. Now, I can come up with every excuse why I don't have time ....

2) it's easier to quit before your workout is finished - Nobody but you knows how long you've been doing it... At the gym, you felt like everyone knew if you cut it short .

You may get tired of reading about my weight .. My diet .. My thoughts.. But I want  this to help me ....

Good things about today- 1) worked out 2) only drank 1/4 of the frappachino my boss brought me ..3).wanted more and drank more water - 4) i had grapes for morning snack 5) ihad a small taco salad for dinner 

Bad things - I felt sluggish when I worked out 2) had 2 small pieces of pizza for lunch - should have had one and salad 3) ate less chocolate but shouldn't have had any -  

Here we go again .......

Adrian Photo Op!!!

You may wander why you don't see many pictures of Adrian... Well he will avoid any picture being taken if he can get away with it ... Although I don't like this picture of me ... I don't even care because this is a very rare occasion ......

And I do mean rare!!!

My Love-Hate Relationship With Life .....

Today I'm on a Debbie Downer ... I think I'm just in need of a little stress reliever .. Hopin after this weekend ill get there ...

Love my job- love the new challenge - Hate that I don't feel like I can get my arms around it

Love being a mom - Hate feeling like I'm losing ground  with Adrian- I forgot what having a teenager means - I'm the stupidest person on this earth and the eye rolls and deep sighs are all part of it....

Love being a grandma -Hate not having more time with them

Love my scrap room - Hate that I don't make time to enjoy it

Love  my exercise equipment - Hate that I find every excuse why NOT to use it

Love my independence - Hate not having that special someone  to depend on

Nothing a good cry and a little down time can't fix... This is pretty close to how I've been feeling....

But...... Tomorrow is a new day!!!! 

Guess who???

Look who I got to spend a few hours with...,,,

She .loves her Grandma and she tells everyone lol 

Drae loves ICECREAM!!!!!!

Thanks for meeting me Jenn!!!! Luv you guys !!!

Need I say more?????

55 and Over .. Really!!!

So I started bowling summer league tonight.   After throwing the first 5 frames or so an older  man came up and started chatting with me.   He commented on what a nice ball I threw and was asking what leagues and tournaments I had bowled in.. We were having a simple conversation and all of a sudden he asked me if I was over 55 and would I be interested in bowling the SENIOR LEAGUE.... REALLY!!!!   I look over 55??? I responded nicely that I wasn't old enough to bowl that league but my mom bowls it and he may know her... So I told him her name and he replies well she is my buddy .. I say while gritting my teeth... Well  she is my mom and I'm her under 55 daughter lol...




Do I really look over 55 ????
