Well after having had a heart attach when I weighed yesterday, I have decided to once again start a diet. I am leaving for Las Vegas for Las Vegas in 31 days and I need to be deligent and accountable. I have decided to do Low Carb (yuck) But it is the one that will give me quick results. In order to keep myself accountable I have decided to blog about my efforts. So we will see how it goes. I am going to try and at least walk 1 mile a day. Or do some kind of exercise. That will definately be a challenge since I hate to exercise. Anyway, hopefully writing about it will help me stay on track



This morning I ate bacon and eggs which I don't mind, but I get tired of after awhile. I need to make an effort to try new things.

Ok I had a pretty good day. I had a salad for lunch. At dinner I had roast green beans and a salad. I drank a lot a lot of water. Onward Onward. Just 82 more low carb meals. lol

On a different note. It was a tough day at work. We are getting pretty busy again. Which is a good thing.

I feel good about today. I just need to get a good nights rest and start again tomorrow.

Well, I have piddled with a stupid diet for about 6 months now with absolutely nothing to show for it. I really say tomorrow is the day. I have talked to myself all day saying tomorrow is the day I have to put my heart and soul into this endeavor. I have also told myself that it is not about loosing a ton in x amount of days but that it is going to be a journey. My goal is to loos at least 30 to 40 lbs. Now, I know that may be possible because of my age, but I at least want to try. But for now my goal is 5 lbs. For every 5 lbs I loose I am going to reward myself. So, I hope to blog this journey along with other things going on in my life.

Had to post this beautiful picture of Mia. I miss her very much. Plan on going to see her in 2 weeks though.

Today is Sunday. I had the wonder experience of getting keep Mia for several days. We had a wonderful time. The house is just too quiet. I miss the sound of her and seeing her smiling face. She has such a beautiful smile. Here is a Smilebox of her visit. Miss her very much.

Let's Try Again

Well It is has been awhile since I have posted. So I am going to try once again. A lot has happened since March. Lance, Lindsay and Mia moved here and went to work for our company only to leave shortly after they got here and move back to Dallas. I was heart broken, but have finally gotten past that heart ache. In June I celebrated my 54th birthday in Las Vegas. I had an absolute blast. Had lunch at Olives over looking th fountains. Wow!!! I felt so pampered. They served me a special dessert of chocalate covered strawberries and 3 various kinds of chocolate truffels. It was so perfect. Very Classy. Enjoyed the whole trip.

Then on July 4th, we rented a beautiful home on Lake LBJ to celebrate my parents 60th wedding anniversary. They didn't want to have a party for their celebration, they just wanted to cdelebrate with family and go somewhere special and not go very far. It was a great celebration.

After that we and Glen got ready to go to South Padre Isalnd for our vacation. We encountered a tropical storm. Scared me to death, but lived through it. We go every year and pull our peanut camper to the coast. It is a ten hour drive, but we absolutely love it.

We are now planning a trip to Las Vegas for Halloween and New Years. Should be great fun.

I have started my diet "again" in an effort to be a little trimmer for those vacations. So far I have done pretty well. I am doing Weight Watchers and weight in on Thursday nights. I will try and post my progress or lack there of.

Today was a pretty slow day at work. It has been slow for a little while. I worked in my craft room shop when I got home.

I am off to bed right now. I have had a long day and I am tired.

Got to stay home today. About a year ago, we did a kitchen remodel and had granite blocks instead of sold granite installed as our counter tops. They have began to pop off for some reason, so the decorator company who put them in is having them repaired. Have been playing in my craft room while the contractor is working. I am working on Mia's Easter basket. Although there is not much a Nana can give a 7 month old, but fortunately Nana has an embroidery machine, so I am embroidering some cute spring outfits for this special girl.

Also for about the last 6 months Glen, my husband, has had some awful headaches and dizzy spells, he had a cat scan done today and they said he had a cyst or pollup from a chronic sinus infection. They sat up an appointment with a specialist. We go on April 13th for them to take a look at him. Bless his heart, he has been in such pain for a awhile. I am just glad that he finally has an answer, and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. He is my best friend and confident and I can't imagine him not being a part of my world.

Today has been a good day for my diet. Although it was hard to be bored here at the house, I stayed on program and worked out. People may laugh, but I am working out to Sweatin to the Oldies. I love Richard Simmons, and if I am gonna work out, I wanna have fun and I love to dance. I think he was the original Julian, at least as a motivator. He inspires and I appreciate that.

Also found out that my precious Mia will be here on Friday. Lance and Lindsay will be staying with us again for a few days. I know they think they are bothering us, but I love spending time with both of them and getting quality time with Mia of course.

Well I am very sore and very tired tonight, so I am calling it a night. More moments in my life tomorrow

Well I've decided to enter the world of blogging. I love to write and think this will be a great way for me to write down my thoughts. It will take some getting used to this blogging, but I hope I can get pretty good at it. I recently joined the world of facebook and have had so much fun reconnecting with old friends and relatives that I have lost touch with.

I have also just started dieting and trying to work out. I am 53 years old and right now have a swimming pool staring at me, a class reuinion to go to this summer, a trip to Las Vegas planned and a week vacation at the beach at some point this summer, so I would like to loose around 25 lbs. I have joined Weight Watchers and have only been dieting for 3 days, but so far so good. I have worked out for the last 2 days and right now I am pretty sore because I am so out of shape. I hope to journal this weight loss journey also.

I have a new grandbaby and my son and daughter in law will be moving home next week, so I will be able to share my new experience of being a Nana also. My only child blessed me with this beautiful girl named Mia last August. I have posted a picture of me, my son and Mia.

I am married to my best friend and have been for 16 years. We live on 4.5 acres in a small community. We love the open space and have 3 dogs, 6 cats and a bunch of chickens. Life is good. I hope tomorrow will bring lots of new moments in life to post
