Holidays

my NeW cHaLLengE.......

This holiday season is going to be GOOD! Our daughter is home with her husband, and our new granddaughter, our son will be home; he is in the Army and stationed up in Fort Drum, NY. Last but not least, my sister called and said she will be here for Christmas with her family. SO, yes it's going to be a GREAT Christmas.

My new challenge is......to be down at least 11 pounds by Christmas. I would love for us all to have our family picture taken, we haven't done that since the kids were in elementary school; as you know I have put a few pounds on since starting this blog! I started last week. I decided to go back to Weight Watchers again, this plan seems to hold me most accountable, especially when stepping on the scale. My weigh in nights are on Wednesday's so I will try to log it on here. I am SO bad at blogging!

Love that my kids are going to be home, and that our family will be here. We haven't had that in a few years.

another RAINY dAy.............

It's Sunday and dreary out, but that's okay we are going to enjoy our day on the inside. Football games, time with the family, relaxing, time in the kitchen, and maybe some organizing in the closet.

Detox- Day One

 Up at 6 a.m. before I even got out of bed I was a little happy thinking about my cups of coffee, then I remembered......no coffee. I do however get 1 green tea with steevia. Wahoo!!!!! I will miss my coffee.....I'm so sad. Makes me wanna say, " I'll start tomorrow! " I'm starting now!

7 A.M.  Weigh In=217.4 WHAT?????

DETOX

The List

My 3 Day Supply

 I was watching Dr. OZ and seen an episode on Detoxing. I've thought about it in the past, but have never been brave enough to give it a try. So, I've given this a lot of thought and planning. Here it is the night before, and I am a little anxious. I think I can do this though!

 I planned for this weekend to begin the 3 day detox starting Saturday morning ending Monday evening. I made sure not to make any plans for the weekend so that while detoxing I could also take the time to do a little detoxing in and around the house. I have a closet that needs to be cleaned out and organized, a desk that needs d-cluttered, a book to try and finish, and just some spiritual cleansing as well.I have discussed this with my husband, he is on board and knows that he will be preparing his own meals for the weekend. 

 Tomorrow morning I will weigh and measure at 7 A.M. get my breakfast and lunch drink ready, I have to work on Saturday; so I will be taking my lunch drink with me. The rest of the weekend I will be home for the rest of the weekend. I am looking forward to the Epsom salt baths with lavender oil, sounds relaxing. 

 Well, here's to a detoxing weekend!

Oh What A Beautiful Day....

 WOW, it is gorgeous out today! I am going to take advantage of it and head out here soon for a nice walk. Going to prep the meal for dinner first so I won't have to worry about that. Laundry is just about done, the last load is in the dryer.

 I've had so many project idea's going through my head here lately that I just don't know where to start. Most are centered around "Project 2013" just with a little more detail. Going to meet up with my friend today and after our walk we are going to re-group, and see where we need to improve in our goals. Love having friends like her. Girl Chat that's what it is.

 Well, time to get off here and go enjoy the day. Going to make the most of it and concentrate on the positive.

Pilates Tuesday!

Love this class! Project 2013 is going great so far. Weigh in at Weight Watchers meeting last Wednesday went well. Down 2.4 pounds. Not so sure what tomorrow might bring. Went a little off track over the weekend. Ill deal with it and move on.

Project 2013 Kickoff

Project 2013

 Kickoff

 This year is off to a WONDERFUL start so far. Have made my list of resolution's/goal's for 2013. I am calling this "Project 2013" trying to stay away from the "resolution" word. I am back to Weight Watcher's weighing in at 220.6. Yeah that's right!! I was like WHAT??? Well, trying to take care of that and all my goals and projects will hand kind off go hand in hand with each other, and hopefully help each other out.

  I have created some new labels for the blog, and would like to have something to contribute here at least once a week. I enjoy reading everyone's blogs, and really want to keep up with mine.

 So, a quick update on the family. Mallory is married to Nick. Nick is in the Army and they are stationed in Texas at Fort Hood. I am hoping to make a trip there this November (part of Project 2013). Son Michael is leaving for Boot Camp this February. He will be headed to Fort Benning in Georgia. We will also be making a trip there when he graduates from Boot Camp. Looking forward to both trips.

 So, here's to a blessed and successful 2013! I know it's going to be GOOD!

Health Checkups DONE!

Made all of my appointments for my doctors between September and October. So far all is well. Mammogram will be scheduled tomorrow.
All test are done. I'm good to go!

Christmas 2012

Merry Christmas!
This Christmas is a big improvement! Last year I felt like a lost soul. Feeling so blessed this year to be back where I belong with my husband of 21 years. Life at times can be SO challenging. Wondering if decisions you make are right or wrong. The should haves  would haves. But, really what more could a women ask for? Not much, because I have it all. A wonderful husband an awesome daughter and son in law and a charming handsome son.Yeah, I'm blessed.

Thank you God for never leaving my side.
