180

That is my current weight . I have never weighed this much before. I cannot fit into any of my clothes. I have one pair of jeans and a few sweatshirts. Thank goodness we have to wear scrubs at work, or I would be up a creek. So, of course with the new year blah, blah, blah, everyone usually goes on diets and start to work out. I started today. I don't want it to be just because of a new year, but because I NEED TO. So, yesterday I shopped for "healthy" foods. We are trying to go by the South Beach "plan". I will not use the other four letter word cause then I am sure to fail. I am saying "we" cause it is going to have to be a lifestyle change for all of us. We went for a walk this afternoon through a gorgeous area around our house, rolling hills (great going down hill...even better going up :). It felt great. I have had four glasses of water so far. Turkey bacon and some eggs. And had 20 pistachios.

We all have goals of wanting to be a better person, a better lots of things. Tomorrow is a new day, a new year, and a new chance for lots of better things.

Make a decision and DO IT.

Tis The Season To Be.....BUISY

Last Monday Brittani was presented as "Homecoming Queen" at her middle school. The night could not have been more perfect. My dear friend Amy informed me that as soon as Brittani got out of school at 2:15 that we were going to taker her to the spa to have her makeup, hair and nails done by one of her good friends and stylist. I said, "great" does that mean she will give me a break on the cost, Amy said, "what cost, it is on me"!! And on top of that she GAVE Brittani 7 formal dresses from when she was in pageants. Gotta love your friends. THANK YOU AMY!!!! Brittani is not a "girly-girl", like her momma. So when it came to wearing heels, it just was not happening, so she wore her VANS. Yes, it rocked. Her black and white VANS with a black formal....the crowd LOVED IT.

Fall Break

My dad is here. He drove here from Kansas. I am so happy to see him. He is so kind, and loving. We went out to eat for dinner and afterwards he asked "can we go to the park?" Why of course we can....so off we went. I have to brag, that here in Tn. our parks are gorgeous. It was awesome watching him swing with the girls, throw rocks in the pond, race across the monkey bars. He loves his granddaughters so much.

Tomorrow we leave for Texas. We are going to see Santos parents for Fall Break. Cannot wait. His parents live out in the middle of no where on some land. It will be so nice and quiet. Not having to cook, his mom is the best of course at Mexican anything you want......yummm. Riding four wheelers and go-carts till dusk, then sit around a big pit fire roasting marshmallows. Sleeping in till I smell the bacon, eggs, re-fried beans, tortillas...coffee......CAN'T WAIT! :)
