What can I say....a good day.

Saturday, April 24, 2010

Went for a ride, bought an x large coffee at a market and then went through Montezuma, yes, again, then for a ride. Saw lots of wonderful animals, a blue heron, lots of geese, some wonderful little calves and cows, horses and even two pigs. Yep, I took pictures of them all. Did a little shopping, and got some groceries and won a free coffee at Tim Horton's, then home to eat and watch Dr. Who with hubby. It was a good day, and a very attentive day with hubby. Thought I lost it, but I guess I still have it.....LOL

Plateaus

Friday, April 23, 2010

I keep wondering why I keep hitting these, it makes me so angry, but then, I get on the scale and find I am down 2 pounds. Maybe plateaus are good, they give us time to contemplate what we may be doing wrong, teach us patience, and the ability to have hope, that it will end soon. I hit one for 2 weeks and finally got brave enough to get on the scale, believing I had probably gained. So what a shock and such relief to find I didn't. So maybe the plateaus are here for a purpose and a reason behind them. Maybe plateaus aren't so bad after all, and if nothing else, they teach us to hang in there and it will start again. I am so grateful for all my friends here and all the plateaus we all have shared, what a better way to get through this than with friends who have or are going through the same thing. Bless you Spark People for bringing us all together.

I like to look a plateau's as a time for my body to re-adjust to the weight it is. When I hit a plateau, I try different things to kick start the losses. But sometimes it is just good to know that you can maintain a weight. After all that is what we will have to do at some point. Report Inappropriate Comment

I wiah I could be as philosophical about those nasty plateaus! You have a great attitude! Report Inappropriate Comment

Some people (me included) seem to lose weight by standing still for a while and then off come a few pounds. What matters is that you stay with it. Report Inappropriate Comment

This post is such a good way of looking at plateaus. I needed that since I've been stuck for a month. :( Report Inappropriate Comment

I am in the same position, but often I find that when the scales don't move I lose inches off somewhere - so I have come to the conclusion that they are the way the body catches up with the scales!! Report Inappropriate Comment

I experimented again...let me know what you think?

These are just two, I am learning to use headpins to make my own dangly charms with beads.

I will post more on my photo page.

Having a lazy day, darn allergies are zapping me, but hopefully my pills will kick in soon....LOL

The ones on top (blue): simple, tasteful, but ultimately ordinary. The lower, green ones: pretty for Spring. I can see wanting to pile these on together in multiple, coordinating sets. Hey, I like bling! Report Inappropriate Comment

I can't believe......I slept this long...teehee

Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Wow, I woke up at 10:30 this morning, guess I needed the sleep. Been working hard lately getting ready for this season of sales. But, it's a sunny and warm day and hubby is home, yep again, but, I have too much to do to worry about going with him, but I probably will if he asks...oh well.

I figured this week would be like this, so when I got groceries I got a lot of easy to cook things for fast dinners, tho I prefer to eat out, who wouldn't....LOL

See ya all later.

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

I didn't get on for very long yesterday, so I am a blog short.... But anyway, I am a very happy lady today. I have set in motion plans to bring my family back as a unit. Daughter admited she was wrong, and wanted to get to know her brothers lady better and stop judging before that. I have Amy working on John to let him know his sister wants to be a part of his life, and the baby's and wants to be an awesome auntie.

Hubby home early yesterday, again...... so yes, we went back to see the Montezuma reserve....I got pictures of heron's and geese....I love the geese and there were hundreds of red wing black birds singing, we love them too.

We stopped and got coffee and tea and one doughnut each and sat there listening and having a snack, I know the doughnut was a bit much, but I think I was ok, carb wise. Went shopping and had dinner at Tom Whals....I had the fish sandwich no bun, and tartar sauce, the fish is huge and I could only eat about half, but hubby helped me out. Got home and had to answer some e mails, got my spark points, and had a surprise, some family members found me on FaceBook, and I now have some contact with family I only see at weddings and funerals, this makes me so happy, I love my cousins and the rest.

Well, I have a lot of house work to catch up on today, scheduled a walk for life in July this morning, its an over nighter so I will be a bit tired by 6 am the next morning, but I am so excited, it's in Clyde and I have family there so I will see them, my cousin does the walk, she is a survivor and I love spending time with her, she is more like a sister.

Well, I need to get breakfast, wash dishes put laundry away and work on more creations.

Love you all,

It's always good when family can put aside their differences and come back together. I don't think we really understand what we are losing until we make amends. Glad your family is whole. Report Inappropriate Comment
