Hey all

I know I haven’t been on very much. I was sick…then I was overly busy trying to catch up.  Now I am training a lady in the office. So I dont have a whole lot of time to read blogs or go around to everyone’s pages.

 So just know I am thinking of all of you and hope all is well in your world ;)

Oh wow…Almost the end already??

The end of October that is…This year has gone by so fast! Where is it all going? Before we know it,it will be 2011 already. I don’t want to have another year go by and still be trying to lose this same weight. Next year I want to say I am maintaining my 140 all year long. Not sitting here worrying about how much time I have left in 2010 to get down to that. 2 months left in this year..thats it.  I will not beat myself up,BUT I will continue to stick to my plan and I will see 2011 be a different year. ;)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

37th Birthday

Yep today is my birthday. the big ol 37th! Do I feel any older? Perhaps a little bit. All my hair that is growing back is silver. Not gray or white,silver so it sticks out. lol

I am richly blessed. This year has been full of changes for me. Good & bad,but all making life interesting and carrying me down the path I am meant to walk. I thank all of you for sticking around even when I wasn’t here. I appreciate the kind words and welcome back. It is going to be another wonderful year. Sept 24,2011 will be around before I know it. Time sure is flying by.

why I love black(new pic)

Because black is a very forgiving color. It doesnt make you look bunched up or show off things you want left under wraps. The right piece of black clothing can make you feel alright. You dont have to be in a good mood or a bad mood. You can just exist and wear black! I like it. It makes me feel ok about how far I’ve come and still gives me that push to continue on..to get where I want to be.

PCOS and Graves disease

I have no experience with either one of these….I don’t personally know anyone who has them. BUT yesterday my doctor referred me to an endocrinologist for the Graves and an OB/GYN for the PCOS. I have hypothyroidism. Have had it for 15 years or more. But despite being on 2 different medications, I am still falling apart. Typically Graves disease comes from hyperthyroidism, where your metabolism is too fast. Greeeeeatt well mine is too slow..basically it is no existent lately. PCOS…I have the vasy majority of the symptoms and I am not very happy about that either. I’m wondering if I’ve had it for a long time and no one diagnosed me. hmmmmm Well I wont know anything til I see the other doctors. Endo on the 7th and Ob on the 22nd. Wish me luck!

If anyone has personal knowledge of these 2 things, will you let me know?! thanks

Its a beautiful Saturday!!!

Good morning all! It really is a beautiful morning. Finally we have gotten into some cooler weather. This is 3rd day in a row when I got out of bed,my air conditioner was actually shut off. It’s set to 73 and with all the hotter than Hades days,it never shut off. Save some money,cooler weather..Wooo yeah I love it! I drove to work with the windows cracked a little bit. It was nice. I am so ready for fall. It is my favorite season. I love to sit out on my porch early in the mornings..watch the sun rise, wrapped up in a sweater. I know its not officially fall YET but I am looking forward to it ;)

Fighting my way back & posting

I have fought my way thru all the muck of my past. I faced all the ugly truths about myself and my now ex husband. I moved myself out into the country…to a beautiful quiet & peaceful farm. Life has slowed down, changed into something I thought I would never find….HAPPINESS! For once in my life I am completely & totally happy. There’s no fighting..no raised voices…no harsh words…Just peace…tranquility..smiles..laughter. With happiness comes the drive,the sheer will to succeed. So I am back to the place of support & friends. I dont have a computer at home,so I will be here during the week reconnecting with everyone. =)

Posting…hmm not sure whats going on with this thingy. I am trying to comment on your blogs,but its not working. So alot of you will probably find my comments in moderation..lurking about. lol

Well I am off to look around & say hello! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Oh how the tide has turned!

This has definitely been a roller coaster ride for me. Since my husband & I separated in November, I have been rolling with the punches. For a few weeks, it really bothered me that we couldnt find a way to compromise and work out our marriage. But then I stopped and thought about all the bad times. They far outweighed the good. I looked at me and decided hey, you can do this now! No more ex standing over you making fun of you…or getting angry when you have to work out. So these past few months, I have taken care of me. It has certainly paid off. I look better, feel better and hold my head up high. Sometimes life is weird and painful. But if we keep pushing, it makes all the difference in the world!!

HEY ALL

OK so I have been gone for quite some time. I promise I will be back tomorrow and let everyone know whats been going on. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all the messages & boosters. your support means a great deal to me.

Morning Sunshines! :)

Good morning Buddyslimmers! Even though I am working, I feel today is going to be a good day.

Not much is going on with me. Same as usual…work, take care of grandbaby,eat,semi sleep..lol Isabella will be 2 months old on Monday. She is growing so fast. We went to my sister in law’s house Thursday because she hasnt seen the baby since she was born. Her friend Karen was there with her 2 week old son,Jace. He is the same size as Isabella!! lol but in all fairness he weighed 3 lbs more at birth than she did. Here’s a new picture of her:

And one with her eyes actually open…lol

Weight loss wise, my weight hasnt changed in a long time. I eat well,but I am having a hard time squeezing in much exercise. Especially on my work days. I get off at 7..come home & cook. Take the baby so Ariel can have a break. My mom doesnt come in til 10:30pm on her work days. I am exhausted by the time I get out of the shower. I already get up at 5 am to get ready for work. On my off days I can workout.One week I have off 4 days(mon & tues and fri& sat) The next week I have off 3.(sun.wed & thurs) I wonder if these days are enough since I am not losing weight.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to fit a workout in?? Or any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong??
