Why is this so difficult? One thing is that I am in that tweener generation for computers. When I was in high school they were just starting to teach computer classes. Of course I chose typing and art classes instead. Happy for the typing classes because I can actually type proficiently without looking at the keys. Art classes were a waste of time because I never have and never will be...

Wonderful advice and the perfect way of thinking.

“I’m stuck. I know I need to turn my life around but I have no motivation. Have you ever been stuck? What’s your advice?”
And the truth is, I was stuck for the first 22 years of my life. It’s always there; you know you need to do something, but you don’t. It’s overwhelming to even think…
A black cat and Buddha. Two of my favorite things.
Black cats are amazing. They have very doglike personalities. Come when called. Talk a lot and are very affectionate. Too bad they get a bad rap.
Statues of Buddha are very calming for me. They give me inner peace and help center me when I’m out of sorts.
Paired together just makes me happy!
The quote is wonderful too....
This made me laugh. Although now that I’m counting calories, my clothes are getting looser. Guess it’s a different way of looking at it. :)

Goal dress
This is my goal dress. I love that it’s beautiful and tasteful but a little bit funky. The corset part is my favorite. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!!

Met my goal for the week
This was a big week for me. All week I was worried about losing between 1 and 1.8 pounds. It’s for a very silly reason. If that’s what I lost then I would be in the “13” pounds off. Oh how I hate that number!
Many people think I’m silly for thinking this way, especially my husband. However, I’ve had bad experiences with that number especially when it falls...
Two of my friends are on the same journey as me…losing weight and getting fit. What I find so interesting is how differently I’m viewing each of their journeys. It basically comes down to one being humble about her weight loss and the other is boastful and conceited.
My reaction to each of their journeys is what’s bothering me. The humble friend is amazing and I am SO proud of her. I’ve...
Rewards for goals
A few weeks ago I saw someone post weight loss goals and the rewards they would give them self when reached. So I decided to steal the idea. Here’s my list:
5 LBS: Pedicure (Completed)
10 LBS: Facial (Completed)
15 LBS: New makeup
20 LBS: New shoes
25 LBS: Bra fitting and new bra. It will be desperately needed at this point.
30 LBS: New jeans and dress pants
35 LBS: New...

"Weird things..."
When I first met my husband he said “weird things happen around me”. I didn’t believe him or quite understand what he meant. Ten years and many weird things later, it still surprises me when they happen.
The latest weird thing happened a few days ago. I was renting a car while mine was being fixed. The rental agent asked for my insurance card and called to verify it was...

Pounds gone
Since December 5, 2012 I’ve lost 11 pounds. Some people would be discouraged with ONLY 11 pounds lost in 7 weeks. However, I’m ecstatic. The smallest amount I’ve lost in a week was .5 pounds. That was a bit discouraging but the next week I lost 2.
The reason for being so happy about this is because I know this time it’s forever. They say slow and steady wins the...
