BIGGEST LOSER

Haven't you always wanted the title "Biggest Loser"?... well I haven't but now I do. Many of you probably have seen the show "Biggest Loser", well I'm on it now... JUST KIDDING!!!! No, that wasn't me in the spandex-PLEASE!!! But I have joined the "Biggest Loser" group of women at the school where I volunteer in PTA to see who can loose the most weight and percentage of body fat in 11 weeks and change their eating habits and way of life!

I'm writing to tell you this for 2 reasons, One, because I believe that if I have things like this in writing, it holds me more liable to do what I say I'm going to do and Two I can use all the encouragment you can possibly dole out. We are doing it for 11 weeks because that is how long we have until Spring Break and you know everyone wants to look better in those bathing suits! There are 25 of us signed up.

So I'm off to a good start today, I've been walking around my fields, I'm on my 2nd bottle of water and I have eaten pretty lightly. Dinners are my struggle to keep on track, so please pray that I have the will power to follow through with this plan.

I know I can do it if I put my mind to it. Hey I just made a rhyme and wasn't even trying :) See good things are happening already.

P.S. There is no photo because I dislike my photo right now, but maybe in 11 weeks if I'm feeling happier about my picture you may just get a peek-- wait and see :)

Snowy Day In Georgia

The weather man was right, IT SNOWED, however he wasn't totally on top of it. The snow stopped just 10 miles North of my house! After waiting very patiently all day in the house watching out the window for that first flake, getting the girls all dressed warmly and getting out the gloves, hats, etc, even at one point, going outside and doing a "snow chant/dance"... they came up with "we want snow, we want snow, we want snow" over and over and over again... finally mommy and daddy said, "Girls get ready we are going to go ride until we find it"... so that we did, fortunately like I said it was only about 10 minutes or so North of us so we didn't have far to go and boy were the girls thrilled--- and honestly so was I because the "snow chant" was getting a little old!! As you will see in a couple of these photos Samantha and daddy had little snow ball fights and I'll have to say that Samantha's 2 years playing baseball has given her quite the arm.. daddy was "creamed" a couple times, however don't let that fool ya, he got hold of her one last time and well her back is still cold :)

Hope you enjoy the photos.. Happy Snowing!!

Picnic in January????

Well I wanted to post this last week when I took it but the kids have been out of school and we have been busy- so there is the excuse, now the photo... It was 35 degrees out when this picture was taken but the girls felt they must have a picnic in the front yard- I had to force the jackets on, but they had fun and the little bit of chill didn't bother them at all. Isn't it always fantastic when they come up with a mutual idea that they all agree on and have fun with, even if they were getting frostbite?! Anyway... enjoy the photo and your day!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Just wanted to say Happy New Year to all my friends and family! Bill didn't make it past 10:00pm New Years Eve but I did, as always. I love to ring in the New Year and this year I let Rachel and Samantha stay up with me so that was even more special. Although the lack of sleep Samantha got did not make for a totally fun event. Anywhoo... Hope everyone had a great New Year celebration and that you all have a very blessed year in whatever you choose to do. I choose to loose weight so wish me lots of luck.
