It's been awhile ....

Since I've been here.  Been busy with life, etc.  Haven't weighed in since I don't know when.  Because I don't have a scale at home.  It became my enemy - I threw the damned thing out.  Maybe I should invest in another???  Maybe next year.  I am feeling good however, and I do kow that my jeans are baggy in the butt.....my granddaughter called me baggy-butt.    Maybe I should go shopping today?  Also, I noticed my wrists are getting smaller  lol!  What a thing to notice! 

Still got the moves...just ain't used them in a while..

Yesterday I helped my friend decorate and throw a birthday party  for her 16 year old daughter at the American Legion.  It was a black and white-themed masquerade party.  It was beautiful!  All the kids did come in black or/and white (except one - there's always one).  They were well mannered and nice!  The music was for the most part 'techno' ~ okay, I'll admit I'm (almost) 46 - but where did this music come from?  Anyway - the kids were kids and were too embarrassed to get up and dance - you know they wanted to  -  they were just too embarrassed (peer pressure you know).  So I took a tequilla shot and drank some of my marguerita and got out there with the mother.  Wasn't out there more than one minute when I guess they decided if the "old folk" can do it, so can they.  lol!   Now, in the day, I was a disco queen ... but they is NO WAY I could do what they do now.   (Old knees, yada yada yada blah blah blah).  I did however teach all of them the electric slide.  LOL!  Funny how such a simple line dance can throw some people all out of whack!

And then I woke up this morning.  Every muscle, bone, tendon, joint, etc. let me know I'm not as young as I used to be...Lesson learned!

Didn't know you could shove 10lbs of caca into a 2lb day!

Such a day!  A lot happened today ~ hope tomorrow is a whole bunch better!

FOUND: 3 pounds...

I lost them and those damed cookies and that mini-family reunion helped me find them. 

I will have to be more diligent with my "path to success".  I did go to the gym today ... I can already tell, I WILL be sore tomorrow. 

PLUS . . . I drank ALL of my water today!    First time in a long time that I did that.

Looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight...

Mini-Family reunion

Had an impromptu mini family reunion yesterday.  It was nice seeing family I haven't seen in 22 years (Yes, I said twenty-two years) ~ why is it on occassions like this people eat?    I wasn't completely bad, conversely, I wasn't completely good either! .  Tomorrow it's back to the gym.....

DAMNED COOKIES!

It was a bad, stressful day today and somebody brought in those damned butter cookies .

My good side whispered 'no' while my bad side  yelled "EAT A DAMNED COOKIE OR TWO OR THREE ALREADY!"

I gave in to the  side . . .

I let myself down

I'll be better this weekend and have a pact with myself to start going to the gym again on Monday

It's my oldest daughters 10th anniversary....

Amazing....  How time flies.  I came into her life when she was 13 ... now she is (almost) 39, has been married 10 years today and her oldest daughter (yes, my granddaughter) just turned 21 2 weeks ago.  I just can't believe I've been a grandma for 21 years now.  They call me Granny "P".    I'm the "cool" grandma.  I have two other grandchildren, one is 14 and the youngest is 10.  Love 'em to pieces....
