TGIF

So what you all doing this weekend. Do share.. It's so fun seeing how our lives have changed and we have become active participants in life. I am going to grandma's on saturday for some horse back riding and Sunday I am taking all the kids to camp. I will have a whole week with no kids.. heaven.. im in heaven... not sure what I will do ...lol... hope you all have a great weekend.

I'm off in about 10 min to Palm Beach, Fl my brother is getting married tomorrow and I booked a hotel on the beach until wednesday the best part is since my husband travels so much I booked at the Marriott and our stay is free... I have my plastic surgery consult in the same area for that wednesday, and we already got a quote and got the money aproved.... it looks like $18,000 for the lower body lift... Carla have a wonderful weekend...

Oh Carla! I'm so jealous ... a whole week of peace and quiet! That sounds heavenly! Tonight I'm dragging my butt to the gym and I'm determined to run at least 3 miles on the treadmill. Then tomorrow morning I'm taking my daughter shopping for school stuff and then we'll have lunch together ... some quality girl time! My nefew is coming over in the afternoon and we're going to grill hamburgers on the BBQ. Don't have any plans for Sunday yet ... probably work on projects around the house. Deanna

Well as you probably know from my other post, we went camping (I'm posting this Sunday evening). We had fantastic weather during the days, we sat on the beautiful beach in wonderful sun, swam in the sea (I wore black leggings pulled up like shorts and a baggy black t-shirt with a black bra underneath, I'm not yet brave enough to even try on a swimming costume! Who knows where my girls woud end up ) We played the 'am I the same size as her???' game, which I enjoy now and it helps my body image, and always cheers me up as I'm smaller than I think We walked and made sand castles and 'fished' in rock pools. Millie found some star fish, and crabs and a few tiny fish so she was pleased, and did all the other usual things people do on beaches It was mostly a lovely time of relaxation and rest - no arguments getting the tent up - a few getting it packed away! Noisy camp site though - a group of teenagers staying up late, babies crying, dogs barking (me growling ), snoring from other tents and freezing cold during the night, so didn't get much sleep. So now it's back to working at the eating right again. I've got into such bad habits - they creep back without realising it. I've been snacking like crazy and eating even if I'm not hungry. So this week I'm going to make the effort. I've been stuck at my weight for a few weeks now - I know why, but I am losing inches so am ok with it for now. As I've said before, we weigh in stones and pounds (14 pounds in a stone) and I am 12 stone 1 pound at the moment. I always seem to get stuck at this point - e.g. I was at 13st 1lb for ages too. It does seem to be when my body catches up with the weight loss. I'm looking forward to being 11st something though. I have no recollection of being 12st something let alone 11st something!! And I'm now in adult clothes sizes that I was never in - I went straight from children's sizes to adults size 16(UK).
