I'm A Loser!

I need to loose to weight its a fact its also a personal desire to be skinny again! I am tired of shopping for clothes in the plus sizes and hoping I can find that cute top I see on the skinny side of the store in my size. I decided that I wasn't going to get skinny just wishing and hoping I knew I was going to have to work at it so for the last 4 weeks I have started exercising and being more conscience of what and when I eat. I've stuck with it even when I was sore and didnt want to and thinking why did I decided now was the time to loose weight? I weigh and tape myself every Saturday morning and every week I see results that alone has me racing to our workout room. I am excited to share that in the last 4 weeks I have lost 7.5 pounds and an inch from waist! My clothes are fitting better, I feel better and my blood pressure is finally back into the normal range again ... not that it was ever at a dangerous level but it was high enough to motivate me to do something about my weight and lifestyle since heart disease runs in my family. I have a goal set I want to be 135 pounds by March 31 2011 I am well on my way to meeting my goal!

New and improved but still me ...

Wow time has gotten away from me and I have left my blog unattended I'm sorry and I promise to try to do better. This year has been a year of changes for us so I figured in keeping with that theme I should continue it to my blog as well. I have a new name and layout what do you think? I have to give credit to Michelle for helping me come up with my new name she's usually full of creativity when I'm fresh out.

As I said this year has been full of changes for us our biggest change this year is the Army has moved us back to our first Army duty station in Georgia we were happy to leave Missouri behind us but sad to leave friends behind. We have said goodbye to many of our friends this year, goodbyes are a part of military life but they are never easy but we have soldiered on and are making new friends and reconnecting with old friends.


This was taken our first weekend here I cant believe how fast they are growing up!

Military Life ... is it this bad?

I have to ask what drives a person to this?

WW - I'll Be Brave This Christmas

WW - She's off

So this weekend while MFS and I went to Springfield to do a little Christmas shopping Michelle kept our kids. We brought Megans bike over so she had a bike to ride with the others when we put the bike on the porch Megan told me one her training wheels were lose I made an off hand comment that the last time we brought a bike with training wheels over I came back to a kid riding a 2-wheeler. We all laughed and while we were out we got these videos. My baby is not a baby anymore!





We are so proud of her thanks Michelle for teaching yet another one of my kids to ride a bike.
