Oh , he's the cutest little thing. Full of energy, that one! I can't put his picture on my front page, but I'll put him in the picture section so you can see him! His name is Beethoven Bach. I listen to classical music while cleaning my house and while in heavy traffic. Back to Beethoven, he is from a liter of 7. Yes, that's right.7. But it was saddly too much for the mommy. She passed away giving birth to the last one. So, Beethoven has been han... Mon, 21 Sep 2009 05:32:21 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2035074 Hi! I am in Florida! I survived the plane rides although I don't care too much for Atlanta,Ga. airport.WOW! What an experience that was! I was finally able to be with my daughter on her Birthday in 3 years. I was able to be with one of my 3 grandsons for his 3rd. birthday,for the very first time! Of course I miss my dogs! But I am having an awesome time! I'll be back in Michigan in about 2 weeks!Tomorrow is my husbands birthday, so I'll have to remember to call him! Well, I have to go. My dau...

What upsets my diet and control is my husband being home when he has no work. He owns a construction business and when it is slow...no work and no pay. Those are two huge stressors I have to deal with. Plus, when he is home , he eats things like beefy nachos, chilli dogs with cheese. Hard to ignore. If I were on another diet instead of Alli Pills, I would fail. Alli won't LET me eat those things with out having what they call, "treatment effects... Sun, 8 Mar 2009 09:54:25 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1859905 Well, that would be fruit. I was never a fruit eater. Maybe a banana in my cereal once or twice a year! BUT, NOW...on this Alli Diet Plan, I have to eat fruit. I am at the point, believe it or not, that if I don't have fruit at lunch and dinner, I feel there is something off about my meal! I now absolutely have to have fruit! And, commercials with hamburgers in them now look greasy and gross instead of yummy! Why & how that happened, I am clueless! Sun, 8 Mar 2009 09:48:26 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1811641 Well, it's been 8 months since I started Alli. I have lost 30 pound. I need motivation to exercise. I am in a size 10 jeans and 7/8 shorts!! That's down from an 18 jean and shorts! But I still have a pouchy tummy and I KNOW my pilates will get rid of it. But my hubby has not worked in 5 weeks and when he is here I get lazy. I am a clean freak (since I quit smoking 10+ years ago) and my house is toast. It needs dusting, mopping, etc. Any way, more news...My daughter Crystal is getting married.... Thu, 19 Feb 2009 09:26:48 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1471997 Just a quick note to tell everyone I lost 17 pounds on the Alli Diet Plan. I am now in a size 12 from an 18. Ya baby!! <em>9</em> Mon, 22 Sep 2008 08:31:49 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1451829 Well, this is Figment! He is one year old today! I have been leaving him out of his cage while I go on quick shopping trips. So far, he's been better at NOT chewing everything he sees. Although, I still pick up most everything in his reach! So, tell The Figster Happy Birthday! He is an awesome little guy! He stole my heart, that's for sure!! Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:17:14 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1415177 I am a bit depressed today. I found out that I won't be babysitting the 2 to 3 days every week for twin boys. They are 4 and going to go to kindergarten this year. Up here in Michigan they go to kindergarten 2 FULL days one week and 3 FULL days the following week and this is how it goes all year.So, their mom will have plenty of time to run her craft business and I will only be watching the boys every other friday. I'll miss them but worse, I won't have hardly any money. I have no idea how I ... Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:29:05 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1396783 hi!!! OH MY GOSH! I WENT TO MY MOMS TODAY TO CLEAN HER HOME. I WEIGHED MYSELF THERE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A SCALE YET. IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS USING ALLI! I LOST 6 POUNDS. I CAN'T HARDLY BELIEVE IT. I ASKED MOM TO CHECK IT OUT SO I KNEW I WASN'T HALLUCINATING! AND I HAVEN'T EVEN INCORPORATED TOO MANY EXERCISES YET! I WANTED TO GET USED TO THE LESS FOOD PART OF THIS DIET BEFORE TRYING TO ADD EXERCISES AND FEEL HORRIBLY HUNGRY. I AM BEYOND GEEKED! Tue, 12 Aug 2008 13:44:33 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1382438 Well, it's been 13 very long, stressful years. We went to a restaurant for lunch because hubby has his Golf League tonight. Other men would have gotten a substitute for the golf league, but I am not that lucky. Although I will say, when we were at lunch, he wanted motzerella sticks but didn't order them because I can't have them ! I really wanted the wet burrito but I had a chicken sandwich, grilled w/ very little mayo which I put on it myself and coffee.So, I did good! Tue, 5 Aug 2008 14:20:12 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1377188 Well, here's a pic of what I was doing yesterday!I canned green beans from 9 a.m. until 8:00 p.m..This is all while taking my 3 dogs out and trying to make dinner at 7:30,and getting 2 loads of laundry done. I had 1 jar crack, 1 jar had the bottom totally broken out and 1 jar with a dent in the rim. Not a bad average for putting up 42 jars! I do enjoy this a lot! Next week I am getting yellow beans! I have already put up dilly pickles and a few bread & butter pickles! This IS my exercise for ... Sun, 3 Aug 2008 08:55:19 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1373710 Hi! As the canning season begins, I will be less on my computer. Keep in mind that I will be working in my kitchen so I am not just sitting idle! This is so fun to me to be able to can foods! Tody I will buy the yellow and green beans! I already did a few bread & butter pickles mostly for my 75 year old mother. I did do a few dill pickles and should probably make more. All the produce is coming in fast so I have to be on my alert mode! See you later! Have a Happy Day!! Fri, 1 Aug 2008 09:56:40 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=1373658 Well, today marks day 7! I am not getting as many calories or fat intake as this site tells me to do. I hope I lose weight anyway! They tell me to eat that specific amount but ya know what?...It is too much food to eat! So far, no cravings not even for CHOCOLATE!!!So, we can all DO THIS!!! Fri, 1 Aug 2008 09:40:28 EST
