Naughty ~ Naughty

I was very naughty this weekend. I ate what I wanted and didn't give a second thought to my diet. It was a pretty stupid thing to do and I knew it at the time. I guess I felt like since I am starting my First Place diet this Wednesday it was like a last treat lol. Kind of like a drunk about to give up alcohol goes on a binge. Not that I have ever done that but I would imagine it would be about the same. Today, however, I am getting back on the wagon. I ate pretty healthy today and I am excited about getting going again. I think since I have not been doing so good over the past week really I felt like I didn't have anything to lose. Ha ha. It is so easy to get into the mindset of well I have already screwed up so lets just forget about it. The problem with that is I can't forget about it. I can't just give up. I have to start over for myself, for my daughter and for my hubby.

My goal for this week is to lose 1 maybe 2 lbs. I have to get off my butt and get moving! It is time to get serious and get the weight off!

Little Angels

Yesterday after Anna woke up from her nap my hubby and I took her to the park. We were trying to distract her cause she was already missing her Yia Yia and Pop and Aunt Cakie. Anyway, we got there and it was fairly packed with kids mostly bigger than her. We got her to go play and she was trying to climb up that tub thing that is slanted pretty steep. She couldn't make it and 3 big girls were trying to go up but they were being so patient. Anna wanted out so one of the girls helped her out and they just couldn't believe how cute Anna was. After that they followed Anna around the play ground helping her where ever she needed help and in some cases when she didn't. Anna would look up and say "I do that" lol. It was so cute and so very sweet of those girls. It was a set of twins age 9 and another girl that was 8. I hate that I forgot my camera! There was this one time that they were "helping" Anna go down the slide. It is a triple slide so Anna was in the middle she had a twin on either side of her and the other little girl behind her. GIRL POWER!!! They will be great Moms one day. I hope that Anna can be that helpful to little ones when she gets older.

All about me Meme!

I was tagged by Marla.

Here's how you play: once you've been tagged you have to write a blog with 4 random facts, habits or goals about yourself. At the end choose 4 people to be tagged; list their names and why you tagged them. Don't forget to leave them a comment saying "you're it!" and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you, so since you can't tag me back let me know when you are done so that I can go read your blog answers.

  1. One of my most embarrassing moments: I was about 14 years old and went to the state fair. I decided to go through one of the fun houses and didn't think about the cake walk at the end of it. When I got there I was so scared to go up it that I would not let go of the rail and step on. The worker ended up smacking my hands to make me release the bar. At the same time all of this was going on one of the more popular boys from my school came walking by and watched the whole horrible display!
  2. For 3 months I had to carry around a sack of flour dressed like a baby with a baby head on it for Teacher Cadet in High School. I named him Jessie after my granddad that I never knew. If I accidentally forgot him home I would log into my records that he was home with his Uncle Harry. Who was our dog lol.
  3. I was in theater in my 11th and 12th grade years. I did everything from play a horrible lounge singer that couldn't carry a tune in a bucket to Clara for the Nutcracker. Not the dancing version just the acting one.
  4. Since the others are all about high school I will continue on with that train of thought. My senior year I was the mascot 2 times. Our mascot was a Bulldog. The first time was AWESOME!!! It was for a pep rally and I was playing a guitar and running around dancing. It was so much fun and I did so good no one knew it was me. Cause in real life I can't dance at all unless I have been drinking. The second time was for a game. This time was horrible. It was an away game and we (the football team) ROCKED!!! GO DOGS! Anyway, we kicked butt and the whole thing with our bulldog was that he would do push ups for every point scored. I was in pretty good shape but I couldn't do push ups. So I decided that The Bulldog had to do something so I did jumping jacks lol. This was the game that we seriously KICKED BUTT. I think we scored upwards to 60 points that game. Every time we got a touch down here I would go again. It was hot as all get out in that costume and every time I would do a jumping jack the dog head would bounce up and the more I had to do the higher it seemed to bounce lol. It was awful!! I slept great that night lol.

So now you know what a goofball I was and if I am honest I still am lol. I am not going to tag anyone but if you want to play along let me know & I will give you some linky love and come check it out.

Our Party Night!

Our party was fun. The food was YUMMY!!! The company was great. Anna had a blast. That makes the hours of work I put into it well worth it. It went by pretty quickly but the guys were playing poker afterwards. So us girls settled down and watched a movie. Anna's choice of course and it was The Jungle Book. She loves that movie. Her favorite part is when he is a baby. She really only watches about the first 30-45 minutes and after that she watches the parts that have music. She had a good night. She made Yia Yia feel good. She adores her Yia Yia and she loves to love on her when she is here. Which I am sure makes Yia Yia's heart just over flow with love!

Bedtime was ok. We went to our room and she settled down and went to sleep after a while. However, just like last time when she woke up to go potty she refused to stay in the bed. She wanted her bed or none at all. She and I ended up on the couch for a few hours where she finally zonked out again. I will be happy when nap time gets here lol. Tonight my SIL is getting the boot and I will hopefully get a full nights sleep.

Lighten Up Friday

As of last week I had lost 5 lbs. I was down to a number that I hadn't seen in a very long time. This week I got on the scale and it said I had lost another pound. That was until this morning. This morning I weighed in and I had gained that pound plus another one back. I am going to say it is water retention because it is, you know, that TIME. Hopefully by middle of next week I will be back down again.

Well I don't really have time for more I have to do more for the party while Anna is napping. Hope you all have a great weekend!
