BECAUSE IT'S ON MY MIND....

SO THERE ARE A COUPLE THINGS BOTHERING ME TODAY. FIRST OF ALL, I HAVE TO GO TO A PARTY TONIGHT AND WE ALL HAVE TO DRESS UP. WELL THE DRESS I WANT TO WEAR IS A BAGGY MAXI DRESS AND I DON'T THINK IT WILL LOOK NICE ENOUGH NEXT TO ALL THE TIGHT, SHORT DRESSES I KNOW THE OTHER GIRLS WILL BE WEARING. BUT I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT HIDES ME...... OH WHAT TO DO....

NEXT, I HAVE ALWAYS SENT EMAILS AND TEXT MESSAGES IN ALL CAPS. FOR YEARS AND YEARS I HAVE DONE THIS. MY MYSPACE PAGE IS IN ALL CAPS. NO ONE HAS EVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I FINALLY GET ON FACEBOOK A FEW WEEKS AGO (I KNOW I'M LATE) AND I KEEP GETTING ATTACKED FOR THE CAPS!! PEOPLE TELL ME I AM RUDE AND THAT IT IS "YELLING" ONLINE WHEN YOU USE ALL CAPS. I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE! WHO DECIDED THIS AND WHEN?? WELL I HAVE DECIDED TO CONTINUE WITH THE ALL CAPS. I LIKE TO BE DIFFERENT. EVERYONE WILL JUST HAVE TO DEAL.

I'M BACK!!

SO HELLO! I'M NOT SURE IF ANYONE EVEN LOOKS AT MY POST ANYMORE, BUT I AM BACK. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN A YEAR ALMOST SINCE THE LAST ONE! I STOPPED WORKING OUT AFTER MY SISTER'S WEDDING. I LOST A TOTAL OF 35 LBS!! I STILL HAVE 10 OR 15 MORE TO GO AND I AM PLANNING ON GETTING BACK TO THAT ONE DAY. SINCE I LAST BLOGGED I GOT A JOB FOR 3-4 MONTHS TO HELP BOOST OUR DAVE RAMSEY PLAN. WITH IT WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE A VERY NICE CHRISTMAS, GET OUR EMERGENCY FUND AND PAY OFF 4 CREDIT CARDS! I SURE AM HAPPY THAT IS OVER NOW! LIFE IS GOOD. I HAVE HAD MORE UPS AND DOWNS IN THE PAST 2 YEARS THAN I THINK I HAVE EVER HAD. I'M HOPING THINGS STAY CALM FOR A LITTLE WHILE. I'M LOVING MY FAMILY, AND MY NEW LITTLE NIECE THAT NEEDS TO GET HERE SOON. I'M AM A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER AT THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH'S MOTHER'S DAY OUT PROGRAM AND HANNAH LOVES GOING TO SCHOOL. HERE'S HOPING THAT I CAN KEEP THIS BLOGGING THING UP! NEW PICS COMING SOON!

BUSY MONTH!!

SO SORRY I HAVEN'T POSTED ANYTHING LATELY. I HAVE BEEN BUSY PLANNING A TRIP TO STURGIS WITH MY FAVORITE FAMOUS BIKE BUILDER. BUSY UN-PLANNING THE TRIP (VERY DISAPPOINTED!!) AND WORKING OUT. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOOSE ANY MORE WEIGHT. I HATE THIS!! I HAVE CUT OUT MY MORNING CARDIO. I JUST COULDN'T SEE WORKING OUT TWICE A DAY IF IM NOT GOING TO LOOSE ANY WEIGHT. IT HAS JUST BEEN A CRAZY MONTH. STARTED OUT AMAZING WHEN I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM MY FAVORITE CELEBRITY....WHILE WATCHING HIM ON TV!! BUT THE NON-WEIGHT-LOSS HAS BEEN VERY DISCOURAGING TO ME. OH, WELL. A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, BUDDY, WAS IN TOWN 2 WEEKS AGO FROM THE NAVY. THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN GETTING TO HANG OUT WITH HIM AND ALL OF OUR FRIENDS. I HAD A GREAT TIME THIS PAST WEEKEND AT MY BROTHERS CRAWFISH BOIL!! THANKS FOR ALL THE FREE FOOD JASON AND MEL!! LOVE YOU!!

A SLOW WEEK

THIS IS ME GETTING READY TO START WORKING OUT. SO I HAD A SLOW WEIGHT LOSS WEEK. I KNOW THAT IT WILL HAPPEN, BUT I WAS LOOSING SO MUCH WEIGHT FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS, IT IS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING. I DROPPED ONLY 1 & 1/2LBS THIS PAST WEEK. I'M WEIGHING IN AT 146 NOW. I'M PLANNING ON CHANGING MY DIET AGAIN, HOWEVER, AND MY TRAINER IS GOING TO COME UP WITH A NEW WORKOUT FOR ME. JUST HOPING THAT THESE LAST 15-20LBS DON'T TAKE FOREVER TO COME OFF!!

SOME GOOD NEWS!! HANNAH HATES IT WHEN I TRY TO GET HER TO GO TO THE POTTY. SHE HAS NO INTEREST IN IT. WELL, TODAY SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WANTED TO TRY. WHILE NOTHING HAPPENED, I AM HOPING THAT SHE KEEPS IT UP. WAY TO GO HANNAH!!

LATE NIGHT FUN

SORRY ABOUT THE BAD PICTURE QUALITY, IT WAS ANOTHER CAMERA PHONE PHOTO.... MY DAUGHTER HAS LOST MY GOOD CAMERA! SO MOST PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY THINK THAT A FEW DRINKS MIXED WITH A MINI MOTORCYCLE MIXED WITH "LATE AT NIGHT", WOULD NOT BE A GOOD COMBINATION. BUT I AM NOT MOST PEOPLE. I HAD SO MUCH FUN TONIGHT!! I REALIZE THAT IT IS ONLY 11:45 RIGHT NOW (SO I'M NOT A PARTY ANIMAL), BUT I AM NOT A NIGHT PERSON, SO THIS IS LATE FOR ME! DANIEL AND I WENT OVER TO OUR GOOD FRIEND'S HOUSE JUST TO HANG OUT FOR A WHILE AND HAVE A FEW DRINKS. WELL, AROUND 10:45 WE DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE HIS MINI BIKE OUT. WHILE IT WAS VERY FUN, (EVEN STALLING IT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION) I'M SURE THE NEIGHBORS DID NOT APPRECIATE US FLYING DOWN THE STREET AND JUMPING IT OFF OF THEIR CURBS. I KNOW THAT THE COPS, WHO REMINDED US THAT IT WAS NOT LEGAL TO DRIVE THE THING IN THE ROAD, DIDN'T LIKE IT TOO MUCH. BUT THAT THING WAS GREAT! I HAD IT FLYING DOWN THE ROAD! IT WAS RIDICULOUS!! SO I KNOW THAT THIS IS THE MOST RANDOM BLOG OF MINE YET, BUT I JUST GOT HOME, AND I'M VERY TIRED, AND WILL PROBABLY DELETE IT IN THE MORNING. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH YALL MY FUN EVENING.

LOST A LITTLE MORE....

OK SO I KNOW THAT IT IS A BAD PICTURE, BUT ALL I COULD FIND WAS MY PHONE. JUST WANTED TO LET YALL KNOW THAT I VENTURED ONTO THE SCALE AGAIN TODAY (I WAS SCARED B/C I GAINED 2 LBS LAST WEEK) AND I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT I AM NOW 148 LBS!!!! THAT IS A TOTAL LOSS OF 21 LBS IN 3 MONTHS!! I'M MORE THAN HALF WAY THERE! (MY FINAL GOAL IS TO BE 129-135) I HAVE STARTED TO GO UP TO THE GYM TWICE A DAY, ABOUT THREE TIMES A WEEK. I'M TIRED BUT IT IS WORKING. THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT!!

16 LBS!!

SO I THOUGHT I WOULD LET YALL KNOW HOW THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING FOR ME. RIGHT NOW I AM DOING 45 MIN OF CARDIO A DAY AND THEN DOING AN EXTRA 20-40 MIN 3 TIMES A WEEK. I DO ABOUT 800 CRUNCHES A DAY AS WELL AS CHANGE MY DIET UP EVERY TWO WEEKS.

~ STARTED OUT AT 169 LBS

~ AFTER 2 MONTHS I AM PROUD TO SAY I AM 5' 7'' AND 153 LBS!! (AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS WEEK I WAS 157 LBS AND LAST WEEK I WAS 159 LBS!!) THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN 4 YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN UNDER 160 SOMETHING!! I HAVE TO SAY THAT I AM PROUD!!
