The Saga Continues...

Okay so here's an odd story for you. Feel free to weigh in *no pun intended*.

Back in January, I began to feel the burn.


I worked out very steadily for 3-4 days a week.



I lost no weight.



None.

Zip, Zero, Zilch.



I went home to Oregon for 2 weeks, went on a couple hikes, got some exercize bands did my thang okay?



I came home and have not been to the gym since. May 1st was my last day in the gym.




Sad yes I know. We're going on two weeks.

I've lost 12 pounds. Now I don't look like I've lost it and I've checked out my scale and everything, and sure enough it's accurate.



WTF?




I've lost the faith in working out.

1st filling in 30 years

Okay so I added a year to my age and a few to the actual possibliity of having cavities in adult teeth



I had a filling yesterday.



I feel very blessed that I have great teeth.

I feel blessed about everything little thing in my life, good or bad. Why you ask?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says: Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

I've learned it's the only thing to do when life is so unfair, so horribly horribly sad, and unbearable. It's the only thing that made me stay sane. You may be wondering what I'm talking about but I can't talk about it yet. I can "talk" about it, but writing it all down puts it out there. You know?


God is working on so much in my life right now and one thing in particular I'm curious about. I'll keep you updated.

Laziness

Sheer Laziness




there is no excuse for not blogging lately....





I promise I'll do better.....

But not today. LOL!

Springtime

Every single year I say I'm going to plant these...



Every single year I fail..




But I did buy roses thes year:

One looks like this:


The other like this:





We'll just have to see.

My peonies have sprung and I can't remember what color they're supposed to be... oh wait, they would have had to bloom before I could answer that question.



I don't have the stellar green thumb that my mother has.



It's frustrating.


I can't plant my garden this year until I know if I'm going home to Oregon for a couple weeks.



I will NOT have it die like it did last year. Thank you very much darling husband who didn't water it. Bad husband... very bad.




And so the outdoor saga begins...

Nuff Said

I'd like you to tell me the similarities between these sets of pictures: We're going with a theme...








If you chose, "Big Ass....(subject) you are correct.








If you chose The (Subjects) Home, you are correct






If you chose: Laundry and Rabbits, one and the same: You are correct.


Nuff Said. OY

Still going...

Yeah... still going to the gym.




I haven't lost any weight.



I haven't lost any inches.



The next person who tells me muscle weighs more than fat, I'm going to drop kick.




I'm frustrated. 3 months.

WTF seriously. Like Boflex commercials "20 minutes a day 3 times a week and you're GUARENTEEED to see results."

Shut up.



No I haven't changed my diet that much, just added in healther stuffs and am eating smaller portions. I like what I eat and I refuse to be a slave to unsatisfactory food. The fact that NO exercise was involved the last oh 10 years of my life I figured ANY exercise would be good and I would start shedding SOME weight, I'd be happy with 2 pounds a month.



Yes?




No.




Grrr.

Healthier

I've been inspired by my cousin's wife. Who weighed over 200 lbs.... she's lost 73 pounds. just with diet and exercise... no fad diets, no crazy anything.... just eating healthier.

I'm so proud.

So as I trudge to the gym everyday I think of how much weight she's lost and her family for that matter. And I kick my butt to lose some myself.

However I've been working out, steadily for 4+ weeks now and have only seen my calves grow in side to the point my boots dont' fit anymore. :(

I'm eating healthier and cutting out all of my snacks... well most of them. I just hope I see the weight loss soon...
