I commit...
Day 104 of 141 Days
37 Days Remain
The pounds are not dropping off, but I've got some not so surprising reasons. I've haven't truly been trying. I've been stress eating and I haven't been exercising, at least, in a routine. Sure I've been mowing and it takes me almost two hours, but that is only twice a week.
I've worked some things out...
I've commit to not backsliding and moving forward.
I've commit to taking some time to work on some projects that I want to do this summer. (Not just making sure everyone else gets their wants and desires, but that I matter too.)
I've commit to comply with all of the snoopy, invading acts of the government that aren't any of their business, because I know there is a little girl out there counting on us. Yes, I am still a little testy, but TOM is here and it hasn't even been 30 days. Ugh. I think I am hitting the "menopausal" time of my life...symptoms are changing. ????????
I've commit to being thinner after the arrival of our daughter than I was when we started.
This will definitely be a first for me! Wouldn't that be grand?!
This will definitely be a first for me! Wouldn't that be grand?!ON a side note.... the gutter guy didn't show up this weekend. I guess we will see what happens tomorrow.
On a happy note....my darling husband surprised me and bought me the car I was really wanting. I am stunned. He worked out a deal with the seller because the high bidder didn't follow through. We will hopfully be taking delivery of it in a few weeks. I was so jittery with excitement when I found out. He is a good guy, but I've always known that. 
I told him that I felt very special to be a part of the "club". I told him that the imaginary "no girls allowed" sign, now needed to be adapted to say "girls sometimes allowed".
So, in a display of appreciation, I happily went to a car swap meet yesterday and today spent several hours helping him sand one of his cars to get it ready to paint. Then I mowed the yard before it got dark.
