Hugs For You

Monday, July 05, 2010

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there..

I Am So Ashamed

Sunday, July 04, 2010

On June 28, in anticipation of the new challenge, Four by the Fourth, I made a rash (though hopeful)statement that I would “work at this to the very best of my ability. I am NOT going to give in to any temptations that will surely be placed before me.” Then I went on to say, “If I lose that four pounds by the Fourth of July, plus just a wee little half pound also, I will reach my goal and will invite you all to my cyber celebration!!
Let's hope I don't show up here in 28 days with my tail between my legs!!

Well, here I am!!



Note the tail between the legs. And yes, I am howling loud and clear!! What did I do?? Why did I let this happen?? I didn’t lose at all, In fact, I gained. I am so ashamed of myself.

But I did learn one thing through all of this. It truly is a life long life style change and to not continue in the same way as I have for the past year, it can all be for naught!!

I am soon going to be active in another challenge and I won’t make any rash statements. But I WILL pay attention to what I am doing. No matter what I eat, it will find its way onto the tracker. I will only get on the scales once a week. For awhile there I was weighing every day and could so easily tell myself that “Oh, that pound or two gained yesterday is no big deal”. But it was a big deal!! Once a week, the scales will tell me where I am and I will listen!!

Wish me luck!!

Why You Always Pickin' On Me??

Friday, June 25, 2010

No I have not seen your lipstick,

why would you even ask me that? I'm insulted! Every time something goes missing around

here, everybody looks at me! For your information, I don't even wear that shade.

It doesn't flatter my complexion and it tastes terrible. oops.

I Don't Mean To Brag

Wednesday, June 23, 2010

I don't want to brag or make anybody jealous or anything, but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school.
