It's been awhile since I have found the time to post.......AGAIN! Things are crazy around here, as usual! I finally started my new job last week. It's challenging, for sure :) Mister D is at a new job as well and we find ourselves waking to the alarm at 4:00AM. Yes. I really did say that. It's gross!! LOL And because of this, we find ourselves crawling into bed about 9:30PM or so. And it's not enough sleep, trust me!
This weekend my niece and nephew are coming for a sleepover.........and I can't wait! I love having them here. Mommy has a rollerderby tournament out of town and I am the lucky one to keep the kids this time! Can't wait to have a visit and some fun with 2 of my fave shorties :)
My sister in law and her family are also coming as well. They are camping at a campground just 15 mins outside of town and taking the kids to Fort Steele for the day on Saturday and then will come by for a visit. This will be the first time they have visited us in BC!
Saturday was my first weigh in with my new work out buddy..........and I am happy to report that I am down 13 pounds! YAY me! We went to our first aquafit class lastnight, and what a workout that was! I felt like rubber for the duration of the evening! LOL We are headed back down to the pool again tomorrow night. Here is hoping for a couple more pounds gone when I weigh in this week!!
Well, I am hoping to do a layout or two tonight before bed so that is all I have for now :) Hope you are all well!!
Peace Out Readers!

I am already failing MISERABLY. I spent Friday night in the ER and they kept me there over night, doped up on morphine and did a CT scan first thing Saturday morning. I was sent home after being told my "colon is inflamed" but I have no idea why, or what caused it, or what to do about it. I have spent the last 2 days with my ass planted firmly on the couch, hurting. I haven't even been drinking my water. *sigh*
What's it going to take?! I think I need a work out buddy, or something.
I long to walk into a store and be able to buy something off the rack, put it on and feel confident. And pretty. And maybe even a little sexy. Not head straight for the plus section and find the biggest baggiest shirt that will hide everything. I'd love to put on a pair of shorts and a tank top and head out into the hot sunny weather. Not wool sweaters and yoga pants, to hide myself away.
Get off your ass T, and do something!!
I am overweight. Obese. And it is time that I do something about it. I seem to go through phases, where I will eat healthy. And drink water. And go to bed at a decent hour. And do planks. But then I "fall off the wagon" and all my old habits come back.
I lie to myself. I make excuses. I blame others. And I eat. I really need to get a grip on reality, as I am now just 4.5 years younger than my dad was when he had his first heart attack!! How scary is that?! All this graduation talk, and I might not be around to see my own grand-babies!
That is unacceptable.
So, today I am beginning......and I am going to try really hard to do it this time. Each day I will set myself 3 small goals to try and reach. I am going to forget the "need to lose 50 pounds FAST" way of thinking, and realize that it is going to take time and patience.
I have decided I will use a part of my blog to post things, share my journey, photo updates, etc. In a way, I am considering it a place to be held accountable for my actions and the promises that I am making to myself right now.
I truly believe that this is going to be the hardest thing I have ever done. And I truly believe that I will need some support, encouragement and help through this journey.
Here is to finding the Skinny in me, and releasing her..........once and for all!!
Today is Friday, July 19th. And here is my starting photo:
I can't even tell you how hard it is for me to post that photo. I am the girl that is always re-taking photos 400 times, cropping and ONLY posting the most flattering ones I can find. I hate this photo. And want to look like the girl in my profile picture again.
So here I go. Please stay with me, and encourage me and hold me accountable. I know it's not fair to ask, but today......Day One......I need you.
My goals for today:
- at least 8 glasses of water
- create a new account on MyfitnessPal to track my calories
- walk around the block
I am not sure how often I will weigh in, or post photos. Probably every month, on the same day. So I think my next updated photo will happen on August 19th. But I hope to see you before then!
Thanks for your help :)
