Candice - Wherever you are right now, I'm thinking of you and hoping you don't get stressed from the ride there. Sending good vibes your way to have a wonderful time!
Brenda - Hey! Where is all this negativity coming from? I know you and you're usually not so down about a pound. I saw what you looked like when you lost all that weight and I saw the picture of you before you lost your weight. You're beautiful inside AND out no matter what size. Remember, we are Big, Beautiful Woman that are shrinking S.L.O.W.L.Y. so as not to gain it back again. You'll do it. If ANYONE will......YOU will. And Candice is right....a pound is a pound is a pound. Remember how I would always remind the "chicks" when they said "I ONLY lost a pound?"......I would tell them to envision a pound of butter sitting on the kitchen counter. THAT IS WHAT YOU LOST. Don't take that pound for granted. It's an entire pound!!!!!! Good for you and it sounds like you already know what you need to do....exercise. Even 5 - 10 mis. of something...just get started so that at the end of the day you can say "hey! I DID do some exercise and tomorrow I'll do more". The best way I know how to get exercise in when I didn't have time is to park in the farthest parking lot at the grocery store or any parking lot for that matter.....and walk. I always feel like I've done SOMETHING when I do that. Just don't do it at night. <grin> I know you're smarter than that anyway.
As for the barn, yes....I am very happy right now. Bill is also coming home today, Jackie is going to "The Rapids" water park with about 8 friends and their parents and Li'l Billy is going to go with me to the barn first and then I'm taking him and Alec to the Y to swim in the large lap pool and then sign them up for summer camp and swimming lessons. I pretty much did it already but need to sign the release forms. It's a beautiful day here in Florida. Supposed to get some rain later on in the day and that's fine because Florida can always use it. There was a very large brush fire about 15 miles away from us yesterday and you could see the billows of smoke for miles and miles. I called 911 to see if they knew about it....believe it or not....there have been times when I've called and I guess everyone else thought someone else already called so noone knew.
Hello?????!!!!!! So I usually just make the call to be sure. They said it was a doosey too! They had many trucks there. If we could just get a small shower every other day like we usually do, we'd be fine. Oh well, have to take the good with the bad and let nature take it's course.
As for me and WW.....I've been doing well. I'm still in the size 18 but they are FINALLY getting baggy. I bought a new pair of jeans at OLD NAVY and washed them in hot water and then put them in the drier and they loosened up right away. So I guess size 16 is around the corner. You should see the over-alls I wear at the stables sometimes when I have to get "down and dirty"......LOL....they are soooooo baggy on me now. I look like a backwoods redneck from who knows where who's been "too laid back" for a looong time. Heh-heh.
Well girls, that's it for me this morning. Have to get up and out of here. Have a good day and enjoy every minute that you can.
Hugs,
