Today ended up being a fairly decent one. I had wanted to go somewhere today since our weekend is typically Thursday and Friday because of Brad’s work schedule. After I was done with all my usual stuff with exercise and whatnot then we were trying to decide what we wanted to do. Hm hm. Loaded up and went to the local pond that has a sidewalk all the way around it to attempt to feed the ducks. They weren’t hungry… so fed the fish in the water but even they didn’t seem that hungry, lol. The temperature outside was really nice though! Came on back home after a while and still tried to contemplate If we wanted to go anywhere else. Nope.. so I put Katie down for a nap and then I got BORED myself. I took a good nap on the couch then woke up, got Katie up, fed her then for dinner we decided CHINESE! It was good but I tried not to get too much since I’m attempting to watch calories but I don’t feel satisfied so I may make something else.

Tomorrow = a bit o’ church stuff and then grocery shopping and then the real weekend comes which means work for Brad and church Sunday. *Yawn* I’m still a bit tired so I’m looking forward to some sleep tonight.

Um yeah I know I’m boring, lol. *waves*

I think we’re gonna get some rain soon.. possibly tonight. I thought It was going to rain earlier today but so far nothing. Last night Katie tried out her new baby WALKER that the lady from church gave me and she seems to like it — still getting the hang of moving her feet. After so long in the walker, she wants DOWN to be able to crawl around pull up. Last night was so funny, rofl. Brad and I always lay in bed together and talk before we go to sleep and last night he was trying to tickle me… on the buns! I squeeled and said, “Not my buns!!” He’s still laughing on that one, lol. Love him.

Can’t believe It’s Wednesday! Exercise has went well so far this week. I’m trying to add a little more protein to my diet since they talk about that a lot on The Biggest Loser. I drank a 6oz bit of water and whey protein with my lunch and then just now for a snack I ate 1 scrambled egg so those will help a tiny bit more with protein for today. I can’t say enough how GRATEFUL I am to have my own HOME GYM. I’ve always dreamed of it…

Having a treadmill and an exercise bike take away my worry of having to go the gym.. espically with Katie.

Okie, I’m out. Have a good evening!

I’m finally at the point in my life where I feel completely happy. All the way around. I was happy last year because I had my baby girl and of course was happy in 2007 when I found out I was pregnant but now.. It’s a different kind of happy. I have my baby girl, a wonderful husband that understands me 100%, a great relationship with religion and a new lifestyle. I now don’t have those negative thoughts that stopped me from leading the happiest life. My thoughts are positive and I feel great.

It’s just hard seeing those around me not having that same kind of happiness. I want it SO BAD for them but I can’t do it —- they have to do it themselves. Just makes it so so so hard because I just want to stomp my foot and say DO IT! Just have to pray that they are guided to do the right thing in their lives. That’s ALL I can do.

Let me just talk about temptation. For me, It used to be If someone offered me a plate of cookies, I would eat them all and then look around for more! Now If someone offers me cookies, I just say no thanks! I don’t eat candy anymore and only a little bit of chocolate. For instance, I buy the yogurt with the resees pieces and have those a couple times a week. I’m so proud of myself. I haven’t had a soda in over a year now. It used to be SO HARD to fight off that temptation and was SO EASY to give into it. I’m so much stronger mentally now. I can say no thanks to something and actually MEAN it. I never thought I would be that strong. Here I am and I want to stay like this the rest of my life and I KNOW I can and WILL.

It’s been hotter than usual today.. I think the humidity went up because the apartment actually got HOT today and I had to turn on the A/C for a bit and now I’ve just got the unit fan on. I’m thinking about opening the windows this evening. Been a good day! Ladies from church came to visit me this afternoon and It was a nice visit. One of them brought Katie a baby walker from one of her family members! YAY!!! Can’t wait for Brad to come home so we can eat dinner and watch… THE BIGGEST LOSER! I’m stoked to watch it! I love that show and It’s so powerful to me!
