April

It's been a long time since i've posted anything. Sometimes Life gets in the way.
Here is the latest update.
I've lost 21 lbs. and am feeling better then I have in a long time.




Before Picture




This was taken in March when I lost about 16 lbs.
I went from a size 14 to a size 8!!!!




Now the question is...can I stay at this weight? I am exercising 4-5 times a week doing a variety of things. I get bored easily so I have to mix up the exercise. I run the steps up the side of a hill...all 75 of them. When i first started I walked them and couldn't breathe at the top. Now I run them and I'm still out of breath but I can at least speak when I reach the top. I try to run them 3-4 times followed by a long walk.
I use the biggest loser dvd's: Cardio Max, Boot Camp and Body Sculpting. They are great and my friends from work come over on Wednesday nights for exercise night.
I use weights. I started with 3lbs and moved to 5lbs and then to 10lb weights. I am determined to have sleeveless dress arms by summer!!!
I walk on the mountain on hiking trails.
I use my balance ball for core workouts.

I hate to exercise but I have to keep moving. I can't allow myself to quit. I just feel too good!





I have good reason to keep in shape. I have 2 grandkids who have more energy then I do so I have to keep up!!!

Have a great day!

Exercise

AH HA moment of the day. Diet and exercise work. I'm down 17 lbs. Yeah!!!

Something to Talk About

Just give me something to talk about other then the weather which is not cooperating with my springtime plans.
My opening line is ....So what about this weather we are having....leading to a conversation about crappy weather.
Local news is out because we have so little interesting local news and we live in a small community. Hey, did you see so and so in the police report today and it might have been my customers brother. Touchy, touchy.
Unemployment is crazy here right now so that subject is not great.





I need a new opening line to start a conversation!

What do you say to strangers in a polite but short conversation?

911

There are some days when you just have to shake your head and give a duh look even if nobody is looking.
Fox News reported this little huh?? story this morning.


Florida Woman Calls 911 After McDonald's Runs Out of McNuggets
Wednesday, March 04, 2009

A Florida woman called 911 three times after she paid for a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets at a McDonald's but the fast-food restaurant ran out of them and refused to give her a refund.

Latreasa L. Goodman, 27, made the calls after she tried to get her money back from a Fort Pierce McDonald's and the cashier told her all sales were final. Police released the 911 tapes.

"This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one," police quoted her as saying. "This is an emergency."

The cashier suggested she choose something else off the menu of equal value to the McNuggets, and offered the restaurant's cheeseburger called the McDouble.

"She's trying to force me to eat something off the menu and I don't want it," Goodman told 911.

The first dispatcher, a woman, asks if there's a manager there, but listens to Goodman's complaints and says she's sending someone.

The second, male dispatcher tells her he's aware of the incident and "we've got an officer coming out there to talk to you."

Police say Goodman was cited on a misuse of 911 charge. A current phone listing for Goodman couldn't be found.

A McDonald's spokesman said Goodman should have been given a refund, and she's being sent a gift card for a free meal.




Have a good day! LOL! :)

What Color is Your PMS?

Gray and Red. Those are my PMS colors and it can go from Gray to Red in a heartbeat.


Today I am cranky. I feel gray right now. I want to be alone...no I don't, I want to go do something.

















I don't know what I want. I can feel the red starting and I'm sure this is what I look like.





Friends, family members and all pets beware.
