WOW!

Since I was outed on the Scrap Smack 2 my numbers on my blog JUMPED! Too bad I'm pretty boring. I talk too much about weight loss, my kids, My DH, hockey and bit here and there on scrapping.

movie reviews:

We went to see, 88 Minutes. Pretty good thriller not great because I'd figured out who the "bad guy" was early on in the movie. Guess I've seen more than my share of thrillers and read even more... Worth seeing but you probrbaly could wait for the DVD.

Watched, The Night Caller on one of premium channels. Robin Willams movie (serious, drama) It was very good based on a true story. Worth setting TIVO or your DVR!
Never even heard of it before I watched it. Love finding gems!

Have a great week!

I was outed!

One of my dirty little secrets was high lighted....I was on the the smack blog! And oh the shame of it I posted. I deleted it. Because like a dope I forgot to click anonymous. BUT someone felt the need to go through all the posts and high light that I'd been there... The funny thing is that I've posted under my name there before and left it. If I hadn't deleted the post it would have probably been ignored.

Any way I admit it I read the "nasty" blog, and GASP! I some times post to it.

I wonder if AllState will give a discount for this....

HOW TO INSTALL A SOUTHERN HOME SECURITY SYSTEM

1) Go to a second-hand store, buy a pair of men's used size 14-16
work boots.
2) Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo
Magazine.
3) Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine.
4) Leave a note on your door that reads:

Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim:
I went for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit
bulls - they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real
bad. I don't think Killer took part in it, but it was hard to tell
from all the blood. Any way, I locked all 4 of 'em in the house.
Better wait outside.

Inspiration

I had to put up the pictures yesterday to motivate myself. I have to keep reminding myself there is HUGE change in my appearance. From a tight size 20 to 14's and 12's is really good. The pictures just bring it home. If I keep going and reach my goal it will be even more amazing transformation. Plus the health benefits are pretty great. I haven't been really sick all year. One little bout before Christmas that didn't last long at all. FANTASTIC! I put that down to eating healthy. Also attitude I feel good about myself and my appearance. A positive attitude toward myself is a BIG lift.

My weight loss is all natural too no banding of my stomach or pills. All diet and EXERCISE. If you aren't willing to go to the gym you won't get the body you want. You may get thinner but the heart benefits and the toning of muscles, NOPE.
If I can do this any one can with the right attitude.

Yesterday I tried on dresses for my nephews wedding. It was FUN! Everything looked good! I was in the regular ladies section. It was wonderful!

for anyone that is struggling with weight. I wish you success! This is my third serious go at losing the weight. I think 3 is the charm for me!

Good luck! Wish me luck too!

Total Body Work Out

April 2007 56 pounds lighter from 229 to 173

This is what I looked like the begin of March 2007


Or TBW as they call it at the MAC, is kicking my ass! Holy cow my thighs, butt, and biceps HURT! Light weight training, my BIG TOE! After thousand reps... well it feels like thousand reps today! Ibuprofen is my FRIEND. Sonya seems all sweet and nice BUT she is really Hitler reincarnated or some other sadistic crazy person. But who is crazier I pay for this.... I better better get that firm lovely ass and tight abs or I go psycho....evil laughter....

Bathing suit season is upon us. That last 19 pounds is just hanging on for dear life. I'm finding it VERY hard to restrict myself lately in the eating department. It terribly hard to psych myself up for it after doing it over a year.

I refuse to give up! I will lose that last 19 pounds if it kills me!

Happy Earth Day!

Here Katie is with her BFFs Shelby and Emily.


Katie had a band concert on the square. their band is really pretty good for only starting to learn their instruments since August. Cracked me up they learned "Rocky Top". I think that song is bigger than the National Anthem in Tennessee.

Last night my Preds lost after battling to get to over time. JP Dumont screwed up with a give away. Ellis did every thing but stand on his head last night in goal. He was AWESOME! Too bad it was in a losing effort. BUT Sunday is coming! Hopefully Arnot and Legwand will play.
