Pray I won't fall on my face!
My phone has a terrible camera..sorry if the pic is fuzzy:(

Choices

When do you remember not being on a "diet". I have always been a small child. In middle school I was my heaviest, during those years of "change". In high school I changed my eating habits, not on purpose, it just happened. Boys came along, I was very social, worked and the extra pounds came off. Then I got pregnant with my first daughter I was wearing a 14/16 at 9 months, I thought I was going to die!! That was FAT for me having always been a 9 slim. WOW if I had only known almost 16 years later I would love to be in a size 9 slim, and I mean those 9's were straight out of the drier and fit like a glove;) Paired with a tight top and boots and I was ready for the day!
I know realize I am not ready to be a 9 slim and living on animal crackers and Diet Coke:) I need MORE! I still love my Diet Coke though.
Someday's I feel like if I even smell a donut and not only do I gain weight, but something somewhere gets squishier;)
Thanks for letting me ramble on today!

The definition of a really bad day

What do you consider "having a bad day"?
I sometimes think it's when I have a rough night at work, and my residents have gotten to my boiling point.
Sometimes I think it's when my kids are just driving me NuTs!
Most often it's when I feel physically bad, like when the scale says I put on a few pounds, or if my clothes just aren't fitting how I think they should.
Even a bad hair day can make me feel this way. But I have really been working on changing my way of thinking. I know people hate to hear "there are so many people worse off than you, so you should be greatful"...but you/I really SHOULD:) I am not sitting in a doctors office week after week receiving chemo treatments, I am not living at a nursing facility, I am not abused. I could go on and on.
I am having a GREAT day today, because God has promised to be right here with me every step good or bad. He allows for us to have our "bad days" but remembering he is always there to hold our hand makes it feel like everything is going to be alright:)

Sorry for being MIA!

I have really missed my blog... My account was hacked and I had some other issues with this account so I needed to get everything straightened out. Everything is looking good now and back in order:) So glad to be back!! Love, Michelle

Results:
-2.0 lbs

Finally the scale is moving;)

Summer Shopping Fun

I had so much fun shopping this weekend for a few starter outfits for the up coming Spring/Summer seasons! My little guy doesn"t allow for a lot of "trying on" time. I guess 6 year old boys have better things to do. Lol:D Well I did get to pick up a few things:)

I was thrilled to be buying 1-2 sizes smaller in tops and 2 (could be 3) sizes smaller in shorts and capris then last year at this time!! :) I could go smaller in the tan shorts but I really prefer to be able to walk and be comfortable( oh, and BREATH ) :) hehe!! They will probably be to big by the time summer actually comes...but that's ok! I will need to buy a few more outfits by then anyways:-)

These 2 tops are my favorites:) Being a natural redhead I can't wear all colors, but these two I really love!

A new week

I am finding so many blogs inspiring lately. It is amazing to me how many other weight loss bloggers there actually are out there! We all are in search for something "different", even though our end goals are similar...BE A HAPPY PERSON:-)!!!!!!!
*Will seeing a smaller size on your jeans make you happier?
*Will a certain number on the scale make you happier?
*Will running a certain distance make you happier?

Whatever it is you want to be so you are a  happier, more content woman/man. I wish you the best of luck my friends and will be right here with you:)

Here's to enjoying life as a more positive, encouraging, loving, compassionate person!
