Good afternoon everyone!
Sidanne- Congrats on the 5lb loss! I'm so happy for you, 67 lbs gone forever and next stop... GOAL!!
Snap- That's so awesome that you went for an exercise class. I was just telling my cousin last week that I wished I was braver because I'm terrified of signing up at a gym. Heck, I'm still skiddish about just walking down the street! I'm so happy for you.
Ink- Thank you so much. I know what that feeling is like. The last time I went was 10 years ago and I got asked to leave a ride because the restraint couldn't close over my legs and I was mortified. I'm almost half the size now that I was then and it's still in my head that I'm too big to be allowed to do anything. It's been a bit of a nightmare trying to get over the psychological damage that being overweight has done. You know what though, baby steps. We'll all get through this and just you wait...you'll be in line for rides before you know it! I also hate summer. I much prefer autumn...I really don't like sunshine much either.
hehe. Take care of that lump and I hope it's nothing serious!
Learn- My neck is 100% fine now. I just took it easy for 3 or 4 days and I'm all healed up. Keep rocking those pool exercises and your WI will be awesome! I have faith in you chickie!
Your mom is hilarious!
I'm glad she is doing well and that you had a nice visit with her.
Lynnie- Good luck with the doctors and I hope they are as impressed with your success as we are!
Bridget- It's so good to see you on and about! How did school turn out? Last I heard you had that massive paper to do. I agree.. gorgeous hair and I'm super jealous. My hair hasn't been being nice to me lately.
I'm so glad that you kept up with your plan and that it has worked out so well for you. It does get easier in time to keep up with it all and having support like 3fc makes it all the better.
Silent- Great post! Sounds like you had a great moment of serenity over there. Keep on thinking like that and you can accomplish anything!
Ags- I miss you! I hope you're feeling okay and look forward to seeing you back when you're able.
Shannon, Mrs. Tee, Laura, Lost, kk, MBW, Georgia, Ona, Susan, Heather, Misty, Kayla, CJ, Jen, and anyone I might have missed (if so I apologize in advance)- I miss you all and hope you're having a wonderful summer! I hope to see you around 3fc soon and I hope you guys are all safe and happy!
I've been at my sister's for two days straight watching my nephew and it was so much fun! I brought my Fraggle Rock dvd's and we played Monopoly and hide and seek... which meant he hide under the blanket right where he was sitting and I had to not find him by looking everywhere while hearing him giggle like he had one over on my. Lol... kids! Today I have to watch him for an hour or so because my sister is giving my husband a ride to the grocery store. Our car is still dead in the driveway so she's been helping out with rides on occasion since I watch Tim for her every week. It's working out nicely.
While I realize that it's only July my sister and I started making plans for my birthday in October. We are thinking about going to Canobie Lake Screamfest and maybe dragging my hubby with us. I'm excited, I can't wait until October. Last year we had decided that I'd get myself fit enough for my 30th birthday (in 2012) that we'd climb one of the local mountains. I'm fit enough this year and I'm so happy about it. We are still putting it off until next year though because it's my big excuse as to why I don't want a big 30th birthday party... I'm going mountain climbing! Woo Hoo!
As far as specific positives, I can't really nail down anything that happened that was good, but I'm in a great mood for a change and that in itself is a positive, right? My weight is going down, slowly but steadily. My health is getting better. The fall is coming!!!! My GED test is in 2 1/2 weeks. I finally feel like I'm fixing all the things I don't like about my life and it feels amazing!
I have to go get ready to head down the street. Have a great Thursday everyone!
P.S. This is us on the Log Flume. It scanned light so it's hard to see Tim and the face of utter joy that he has, but still. My sister was cool with me posting it, I did ask her first just in case.
on myself.
