Holy cow, what a long day! Lots of emotional stuff. Please pray for my family.Oldest stepdaughter is in trouble; lost custody of 2 1/2 year old daughter. We’re looking into getting custody. Need lots of wisdom and finances! Just taking it one step at a time right now.
Good news is that I did no emotional [...]

It was a good weekend altogether. Eating went well as has exercise. Enjoyed time with friends Saturday night and Sunday. Yesterday we went to Cheekwood Garden in Nashville, TN. It’s a great place: http://www.cheekwood.org/About.aspx  They have a exhibit of Faberge’ eggs and other Faberge’ collectibles right now. They were really beautiful and worth the trip. [...]

Wow; it’s been a while since I’ve been here! The first thing I want to say is that I love my small town. I know I’ve said this before but I really do. I walked to my bank today and saw a friend I hadn’t seen for a while and we just stood around and [...]

Here I am again; starting over. But that’s okay. It’s much better than giving up which is what I usually do when I screw up with my eating and exercising (or lack thereof). Yesterday was my bday. I turned 41 years old and happy to be there, let me tell ya.   :)  Age really doesn’t [...]

Actually, I already survived: a night of eight teenagers! It was a nice evening. I went to bed around midnight and got up around 5:00 and all but two were still awake. I cleaned up our mess from the night before and then started on pancakes for breakfast b/c some of the kids had to [...]

Or in the words of Yosmite Sam “racking, fracking, trigging…..” I weighed in today up 5 pounds from a couple of weeks ago. GAH! I probably shouldn’t complain considering my complete lack of self-control while I was in Michigan and my lack of motivation to get moving again. 
So, what am I going to do about [...]

I went to Indiana this weekend for my niece’s bday party. The weekend garnered, as you might be able to tell from the title, some bad news and some good news. The party itself went very well. We had all kinds of board games and we just played games, ate lunch and bday cake and [...]

There is a man, Dwayne, who has been going to the Y for about 1 1/2 years. When he first started, he could barely do 10 minutes on the treadmill. I’ve seen him out and about in the community and, since this is a small community, have exchanged pleasantries as fellow exercisers.
He recently started doing [...]

Yeah. We finally got a big enough snow that we made snow cream. I’m completely happy now; spring can come anyday now.
Let me tell you about my day Friday. That’s part of the reason I haven’t been on here this weekend: I was recuperating. You know it’s going to be a bad [...]

That’s me waving good-bye to my sucky attitude and slothfulness. buh-buh. See ya. Don’t need ya. Moving on.
I fell off the wagon with a big fat (hee, hee-fat!) thud. I have been struggling for a while. I’ve been doing stress eating related to work issues. Everything just looks and tastes so much better when you’re [...]
