Weigh Too Much Fun

Last week David and I had a fantastic 3 nights and 2 days in SanDestin. Jacob was at camp, Jared and Jenna stayed with NaNa and PaPa. We love Destin and I really wanted to take David for his 40th birthday. This is a picture of the Village at Baytowne Wharf. It is such a beautiful place with shops, restaurants, and night life! We spend 2 days at the beach and pool, went out to dinner each night (of course) then walked around the village. God was so good to us by making everything fall into place last minute for this time together. Thanks to my friend Tomari for letting me know about this place! We are trying to start a tradition of getting away at least once a yer together. It really does energize you and has brought us closer together. Can't WEIGHT for the next trip. Hopefully next year!

STILL Holding On

I was quite surprised when I got on the scales to see that I am back down to 140 (my lowest weight in 9 years). I am really enjoying my evening walks. Maybe I am burning more fat when I sleep! Still looking forward to at least 5 more pounds then we will see! I have lost a total of 9 - 10 pounds since March 9. I have ALMOST dropped a size and I am very excited about that. Here's what I am working on (still):

1. water
2. exercise
3. eating healthy

I have also been having fun cooking. Never thought I would say that! At the end of June I made a menu plan through July 17. So far I have tried 2 new things and I have a few more to go. I hope to start repeating the receipes and adding at least one new one a month. We'll see!

Remembering The Fallen

I come from a military family (mostly uncles but my father was not in the military) but lately I seem to be so much aware of our dear men and women who serve for our country. They go through so much and I know I will never be able to know exactly how much they go through. All I can say is "thank you from the bottom of my heart".
We need to pray for them and not forget!

I'm Learning

I Did It

I was playing around and added an image to my post. The sunset is a symbol that tomorrow is another day!

Ate Weigh Too Much!

I hope others of you feel you are always "starting over". The great thing about WW is that you can jump right back on it. I am not using that as an excuse-it really helps me to know that I can eat healthy and lose weight. And that I can eat-PERIOD! I don't have to stay on some fad diet that deprives you of everything.

As hard as I tried last week the scales showed I was up 2 pounds today. I have been walking alot but still struggle with water. The food last week was just too good and I enjoyed every minute. So, I'm back on target and trying to really buckle down the rest of July. I REALLY want to lose at least 7 more pounds by end of August. I have some jeans I am dying to purchase for fall!

So this Weight-ing game continues. Sure helps to know I'm in it with a lot of other ladies!
