Losin it in Paradise

Well today was a much better day.  I managed to stay away from junk food, drink my water and even exercise……..I HATE EXERCISE!

I had to get up early and drive to town to teach CPR, yes I do that in addition to my regular full time job.  But that is okay, I love doing it and I truly believe in CPR, I feel that every man, woman and child should know CPR.  So in my day, I was speaking to the lady that does the child birth teaching classes and some how I got volunteered to teach CPR to the pregnant moms and dads…………okay, let see how I am going to do this.  If I add 8 more hours onto this week and another 16 onto this week, or how about just add another 32 hours onto the month adn we will call it square.  See it is doable, I just need to have a month with more hours in it, or days……..yes that is it.  I will make a change and we will now have 35 day months and 36 day months instead of 30 and 31!  That will work.  I apologize ahead of time to all who have already purchased your calenders for 2007.  Maybe the stores will give you a rebate on the new 36 day month calendars
Today when I got home from teaching, I noticed some lovely fresh lemon were ripe on my lemon tree, so I grabbed a bag and went to collect them with the thought of fresh lemonade in my mind as it is scorching hot here today.  Well if any of you have ever had the pleasure of climbing around in a lemon bush it is NOT pleasure.  They have thorns that will rival any rose bush.  So I now have scratches and cuts all over my arms and legs, but I have my wonderful lemons.  Just the smell of the leaves on the tree is wonderful.  And soon my bananas will be ripe as well.  The mango tree is empty of fruit now, but boy were they good while they lasted.  I so love having fresh fruit in my own yard.  I can hardly wait until the pineapple is ready again.

By now you are probably thinking, “My gawd is this girl bi-polar?”  So down in the dumps yesterday and so UP today.  Must be back on the meds…….nope……not bi-polar, just got some good encouragement from some great people.  Figured it was time to pull the big girl panties up and get back on program.  No one but me can lose this flab, but would be nice if I could pay some one else to do it, while I got the eat what ever I wanted……..ah in a perfect world.  So no I am not bi polar, but I am sure that you have not seen the last of my dark days, I have a few left for sure I know.

But for the remainder of this one, I am going to go and make that fresh lemonade.  Tomorrow is another day, and I am back at work, and it is a 16 hour shift!   Oh me, oh my! 

To quote a dear friend…”must be the f** forties”  Well I only have two months left of the 40s, then it will have to be the f** fifties………….oh, now if that doesn’t depress me nothing will.

Ciao
