Day Twenty of the Rest of My Life

Two weeks and we will be on the road heading to Michigan. We have decided to go to Michigan visit with my bestfriend and her family. Have not seen her for 6 plus years (she was not home 5 years ago when we were back there) She has never seen my little guy face to face (only in pics) and all three of her kids will be home while Aunt Dawn is there :) Hers are 11, 19 and 22 ...... so I am stoked to see my extra niece and nephews while we are back there also. Then am thinking of surprising DH with a trip to the Ford Museum (it is about an hour and half from my daddys place) and DH bday is August 3rd.....He LOVES Fords and wants to REALLY go there but says we dont have the extra money..... so I think he will be greatly surprised !!! Then we will meet up at my brothers house in Indiana on Friday to set up and get ready for Grannys Big day.....on Saturday. I cant wait :)
Do you have that person in your life that is your strong hold, the wind beneath your wings (besides your DH or DW or children) Welp my Granny is Awesome...... She had my dad at 18 and back then you GOT married that was it...... then in 1975 she got me, my brother and sister. Our mom left decided she did not want any of our family including our father to see us and the court said NO you have to give them visitation...... so she decided if she couldnt have us to her self she did not and would not share.... My granny stepped up to the plate and took on a 3, 5, and 7 year old ...... And let me tell you at 7 years old and not understanding anything but that I was confused and hurting deep inside...... I gave Granny HELL ......for along time.....She said DONT and I DID she said DO and I DIDNT..... beyond just everyday rebellion ....... I put her to the test. And today I am proud to say I am the woman I am ....... because of HER. She Loved me through alot but more then that she LIKED me through even more....... Sometimes it was TOUGH LOVE, but all the time it was UNCONDITIONAL LOVE...... She was here when my little guy was born, she was on the phone for hours on end when we lost a baby in 2006. She was here when I found out I had cancer...... she dropped everything and got on the first plane she could cause I NEEDED her.... Needed to just have her close...... I am truly blessed to know her... she is an Angel.... and she is MY Granny !!!!!!!! I just cant wait to celebrate her 80th bday with her and how she will be so proud of the family she has held together, held up and is the head of :) Granny you ROCK
I am sooooooo ready for our trip ...... I told DH we will start packing next week. He was like dang why so early ........welp cause I only have off this Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and next Wednesday so next Wednesday I want everything but undies and shoes and shaving bags packed....... I want to leave bright and early on the 27th....... I dont want to be LOOKIN for something like we usually are ......even when we are just trying to get out the door for a cookout with his sister and her family......
Breakfast was:
1 1/2 cup multi grain cherrios
1/2 cup 2% milk
Lunch was:
1 kashi bar
1 banana
3 bite size candys
Dinner was:
1 1/2 cup rice with corn
1 turkey cheese sausage
Snacks were:
2 cups mixed apples chuncks and grapes
5 bottles of water

Today I changed one thing.......and need to work on changing a few more LOL
but I am hypothyroid so I have to take my medicine one hour before I eat or 3 hours after I eat.....
So this morning when I got up (like 5 am) to use the restroom I TOOK my thyroid meds
So when I got back up at 7:30 I could eat breakfast...... I do believe I will continue to do this....then I will have time for breakfast........ I will be working on getting 30 minutes on the wii fit started within 30 minutes after I get up in the mornings.......if I get this done then I can get exercise out of the way before I get ready for work........ should work right........welp if I take some hints from Bonnie on NoMoreStinkingThinking and shut my tv off and limit my time to the computer.....I need to continue to CHOOSE ME
Have a great night

Keep On Keepin On

Thankful & Focus

Have you gotten to the place where you know what to do and you know what your doing is NOT working? Have you gotten to the place where if things DONT change and now then you know they probably wont change? I woke up this morning with a feeling deep in my being. I have been playing with my weight. Losing a few pounds one month just to gain it back the next month. As of two weeks ago at the doctors office I have lost and kept off a total of 4 pounds. JUST 4 pounds the rest I have lost and regained and lost and regained again. I know I have medical problems and the extra weight just adds to it so one would think I would break through this crap and get this weight off right?? At the doctors I weighed 339lbs ...... I have peaked at the scale and seen numbers being 332.4 which is great (that was a few days ago) this morning it was 335.1 and I am asking myself what the HELLO am I doing..... Am I scared to get below the 330 mark?? What is holding me in limbo?? Why am I doing this to myself?? Five years ago when we went home to visit I was down to 260 ........ now I am a big fat hog again ...... my family knows I have put weight back on (they are not small people either) but why cant I seem to mentally break this 330 mark??? Why have I been playing all year this far back and forth gain and lose the same weight?? I am going to start using fitday again starting today. I need to be honest and get my veggies and fruit in.......need to cut the carbs (Bread, pasta) I eat way to much of this
I am not a planning kinda person and I need to have a plan to lose this and keep it off. I need to work through the feelings of why I emotionally eat and why I stop and start over and over.
So I am focusing on what I eat, my moving my body but more then that I am focusing on getting ME back. Taking me Back one step, one meal, one attitude at a time ......... Today IS the day ....
If you have any feed back on anything for me please feel free to post it !!!!!
If you have any suggestions how I may do something different and get better results.... post it!!!!!! If you need to tell me to get real ....post it!!!! I need to hear these things and get out of my protective bubble.

I read NoMoreStinkingThinking and LOVE her blog ...... every Thursday she post things she is thankful for ....... and it got me to thinking "what am I thankful for"
So hear goes:
1) My health..... I need to lose weight. But I am thankful for being alive, surviving cancer and having joy in my heart.
2) My hubby ....... he is awesome....... he cooks, cleans, works, and loves our son and I
3) My little guy..... there is days I would not make it through if not for his smile, his laughter, him
4) My job..... I can honestly say I "love" my job
5) My relationship with God ........ he has carried me through so many things
6) My sister and brother...... we are always there for each no matter what.... no judgeing ........no questions.... when the world goes out they are there always :)
7) My best friend Connie...... met her end of my junior year of High School (way back in 1985)
8) bloggin and online friends ..... inspirational and encouraging awesome people
Have a great day and
Keep On Keepin On

Today I was actually excited to get up and be alive. Ok most days I am excited but LOL today just "felt" great if you know what I mean. We all took MIL to her doctors appointment and then we went to the park for a bit of swinging and soccer and let me tell you my little guy can RUN. I was like OK OK kick it back to mommy now and he kept saying come get me come get me and laughin the whole time...... I was a good day. Tonight we went to Water night at church.... and that was fun. Little Guy got to hang out with kids from childrens church...... I got to really relax and just watch as he played and enjoyed the HOT Texas evening on the waterslide and such... He even got his daddy to go sliding down the water slide (wet slide flat on the ground) with him.... they both thought that was great :) So today was a awesome day :)

I am thinking about trying fitday (have used it for a short time once before) I think it will help me get in sight exactly how much I am eating and where I am lacking ......
I am not a good planner or very organized as you can see but I need to get that way some how to get this weight off and to be healthier over all :)
Hope your day was great
