Hurry up 5:00 Friday!

We are on vacation next week…and I can’t wait. 5:00 Friday can’t get here fast enough for me. We’ve had A LOT going on with questions about Greg’s work and what direction he needs to take, and as you can imagine that has weighed heavily on both of us. So a week away will do us good.

Next week we’ll spend time at the beach and at home. We’re leaving for the beach Saturday morning. Greg is taking a Tuna Charter Boat on Monday. We’ll probably come home Tuesday to check on the cats and get some work done around the house that we’ve been putting off. Then I think we’ll go back down to the beach Thursday and hang out until Sunday. Mom Mom’s birthday is on the 4th, she’ll be 85. Don't know what were doing yet to celebrate her birthday, but I'm sure we'll have fun.

Hurry up 5:00 Friday!!!!

Fight anyone?

I am very annoyed at almost everything and anyone today. I somehow can not let the little shit go, and I really need to. It is almost 11:00 and I am so tense that I feel like I could go 10 rounds in a boxing match. Anyone dare to take me on?

My lower back has been bothering me for a few days now. Matter of fact, it's been bothering me for a few months. The pain is chronic and comes and goes. I know it is all stress related. As I can pin point it NOT being around when I'm relaxed and having fun. Today is obviously one of those days that I am NOT having fun. Will make an appointment next week to see my family doctor to see what's going on. I only hope that this isn't another UTI again.

Hoping tomorrow is a better day and I don't kill someone or say something that will get me in trouble.

Hot!

Today's Heat Index is 104. It's so thick that you could cut it with a knief. Cold front coming in tonight to hopefully cool things off. Thank GOD!!! I so want to go for a bike ride.

Killer seats!!!!!!

I just got killer seats to see Tim McGraw on Friday night. Ummmmm... yes that's right...4 days before the concert...Awesome Seats!!!!!! Section 103 - Row D - Seats 1& 2. At the Susquehanna Bank Center, Camden, NJ. Erin and I will spend a night with Tim, while our men do whatever they chose to do without us. We saw Tim and Faith Hill last year when the came to Philly and had a great time. Erin mentioned that it was too bad Faith wasn't going to be there this time, but she could find a way to get over it. I just LOVE her..... she is great!!!!!! I'm so happy that she may be my future sister-in-law one day (blog coming soon about this)and that we get along so well.

Ahhh....LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!

Soul Searching

I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching this week. Trying to figure out me and my life. I found that a lot of my issues in my life are some what related to my weight. And I’ve been struggling to figure out how to fix it. I know a lot of my weight issues are due to my whacked out hormones. But I can not blame it entirely on that. It wasn’t until recently did I really start to become active and exercise and get my butt moving. We’ve been eating relatively healthy and have eliminated fast food from our lives all together for about a year now. So as I’ve exercised, I’ve found some changes in my body and the way my clothes fit, but no big difference on the scale. Yes I know about “You build muscle when you work out”, so I’m aware of what changes my body is going through. Yet, I’m still not happy.

With my blood work coming back very, very low on Wednesday, it has put me into a reality check that it is now time to do something about the weight. Surgery is done and everything is clear. No more excuses. When I see my doctor on Friday, I will express my concern to him about my levels and see what our next steps can be to improve them. I know he’ll mention this time around about my weight and how it could be playing a factor in all of it. And I’m open to hear what he has to say.

I know I’ve done what I can, and I may just have to push myself harder this time around. I’ve been thinking about joining Weight Watchers again or doing their online thing. Or possibly trying more stricked approach to the South Beach Diet that we’ve done before. I know what I need to do and I know what has worked for me in the past, so I am just doing it now. The thought of spending more money for other people to track my weight and teach me things I already know, seems to be pointless and a waste of money. So today, I decided that I was not going to join WW and that money that would have spent on weekly meetings; I’m going to put away and spend it on me when I meet my milestones. I will only focus on 10lbs at a time and not the big picture. It will take time and I will get frustrated at times, I know this. But I have a really good feeling that this is finally it. I’m going to do it this time. I’m ready.

No Meds

No Meds gives me a Progesterone level of 1.1. Not good!
