The Incredible Shrinking Woman

Well its a snow extravaganza here, all the green grass is covered, this is terrible!!  I believe it is going to melt by next week, so not too much to worry about, but I can’t wear my new cute capris.  Soon enough!!!

I haven’t lost anything since my last weigh in, but I’m emailing my food journal to a friend of mine to be accountable.  I cant’ do it on my own, so I reached out and she is going to be my accountability person.  Wish I could do it on my own, but thats not possible!!

I exercised on Mon and Wed, getting up early before the fam, and did weights and the elliptical.  I was sore today, so I took today off, but plan on going in the morning tomorrow.  It sure makes my attitude different to start it off with exercise, and also doing my bible study in the morning.  It helps me focus on what I want to accomplish in the day.  So this week is going to be a new week, a new attitude, and I am very excited to really ask for God’s help and accept it.  He does listen, I just never asked hardly!  I was craving something the other day, and I was NOT hungry, so I said “Lord please take this craving away” and it went away!!  I just need to remember to ask!!!

THis week I got a new dishwasher.  Never thought I would be so excited about that, but boy am I!!  Its even stainless, whoa!!  We are doing some remodeling in our home, we want to get a screened in porch outside, the sun hits the backyard all day long and can get brutally hot in the summer.  We also are going to get new stonework done around our fireplace, some new flooring, I am so excited.

Our rental property has a bad renter, she has never been on time, and is late, again.  We are going to evict her if she doesn’t pay by the 15th, its just too stressfull.  There were about 6 families that wanted to rent it, and we really rented to her since she said she wanted a rent to own house, she lied about that since she’s never given us a cent!!  Anyway I’m praying that everything will turn out with this, the whole house has been a nightmare, and I think we weren’t supposed to do it, so we are stuck with it, but hopefully we can make the most of it.  We don’t make any money on it at all, so after she pays for the rent, we have to put money away for taxes, we actually come up short!!  Oh well!!

Well I have a dr appointment today, just routine woman stuff, ugh, so gotta get ready for that.  Talk to you soon!

3 Lbs down, yeah!!  On the bad note, its probably due to me being sick with some stomach flu over the weekend, but I’ll take it.  I needed that for some motivation, I’ve lost my MOJO the last few months, ok all of 2007, its been struggling to come back.  But I think I’ve found new motivation all.  So yeah, even if its with the flu. 

So anyway, life has been so much more serene here at our home after we decided not to sell.  I am trying to start a neighborhood watch out here, I contacted the police and they made fliers on their neat stationary for me, cool heh.  Once I get enough interested families, we can set up a meeting at the police department and then get our neighborhood watch signs out here.  I’ve been told I am now the neighborhood chief, wow what a big name.  I’ve got some positive responses so far, families that are very excited to get involved in our neighborhood.  Its gotten me out there, meeting my neighbors, which before I’ve never talked to.  So its a good thing.

Today its supposed to be only 33 and snowy, WHAT??  This is spring??  This is ridiculous, but I can wear my favorite sweater 1 more time, I’m hoping that next season all my winter things will be way too big.

I just had to do a quick blog, I’m hoping once I start feeling better I can exercise again, maybe tomorrow.  I’m still highly unstable!!    Not fun, but hey again the silver lining, not wanting to eat!! 

Have a great day buddies!
