Yay, I am sooooooo happy!!!

 This morning I decided to try on a pair of shorts that I couldn’t get into for 3 years………….and guess what?? I could button it and zipper it with no problem!!!!! Im so happy!!! Just one month ago I tried it on , and I couldn’t even bring the button and the hole together……..there was about a inch and a half gap. I finally got it closed today!!!!!!!! And Im wearing it today!!! IM SO HAPPY!!! I am so glad I kept going and never gave up. This gets me even more motivated to keep going!!

Jillians 30 Day Shred

WOW what a workout!!!!  I just recieved the dvd in the mail.  I ordered it from Netflix to try it out before I buy it.  I love it!!  Jillian kicks butt……………kicked my butt anyway!  I feel it in every muscle!!  I didn’t know I hated jumping jacks so much though……LOL……..felt like I was about to give myself two black eyes.  LOL  I am going to stick with this and see how it goes.  I think I will do 10 days of level one and then go on to level two for ten days and then on to level 3.  Yay, im so excited.  I am dreading tomorrow though………….i hope i can still walk.  LOL  Goodnight everyone!!

Today turned out very……..

beautiful!!!!!!!  thanks for all the prayers!!!  My two brothers and I and our children started out on the boat around 6:15am this morning to scatter my moms ashes.  We first scattered purple flower petals in the water which looked so beautiful.  Then we scatter my mom.  As we were doing that, the sun was rising!!!!  It was so beautiful.  It was perfect!  about half hour later it had a light shower of rain, and then a big full rainbow appeared right in front of us.  And if you read the post about my moms passing back last year, then you would have read that the day she passed in the hospital, there was a full bright rainbow infront of her window.  So that made us feel like she was there shining down at us.  It was such a calm feeling that we had today…………….thanks everyone for all the prayers!!!  Big Hugs to you all!!!

It has been a year since my……

moms passing!!!!!!  It feels like yesterday!  Tomorrow we will be scattering her ashes at the beach where she loves.  We will be going out on a boat and doing this.  Im in such heart ache…………I sorta feel like we should have done this right after her passing so we dont have to go through this all over again.  But we just couldn’t let her go.  We will be having an all day bbq at the beach afterwards in celebration.  I will stay on track with my eating and get exercise walking on the beach and also swimming!  Please send prayers our way so the day will go smoothly and help keep me strong!  Thanks buddies!!

A Great walk…………

This morning my two girls and I went for a 3 mile walk around the lake in my area.  It was a beautiful day!!!  Although mother nature did cool us off a bit with a light shower that lasted 15 minutes.  Hahahaha!  At least it didn’t POUR!!!  Then as we got closer to home, what do we smell?????????  Pizza!!!!!!!!  Pizza Hut……………..and that was a block away across the street and I could still smell that wonderful smelling smell.  Then my little one sees McDonalds and says “lets go to McDonalds momm”……….AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!  I am not walking for no reason I tell her.  LOL  we walked passed it and went home!!!  Other then having food places so near, we did pretty good and worked up a good sweat!!!  Maybe I will walk on my treadmill tomorrow!  LOL
