Camping at Fall River

We had the best weather ever!! It didn't rain. It wasn't too hot. I got a nice tan. There were lots of ticks (yuck). We did some new things.

Cooler corn. Take boiling water, pour over corn and let it cook for thirty minutes. Delish.

Cinnamon rolls in my camp oven. Yum.

Karleigh

Got to see a dead gar. The kids were grossed out.

And Kam's jumbo fun ball. Good entertainment for the day.

I have made May 29, 2013 as the beginning of my journey to a healthier me. A combination of diet (weight watchers online), regular exercise and stretching. I've tried these things before and sometimes succeed and sometimes fail. And I'm tired of frequently "starting over" so there is no more starting over, just keep going.
To keep myself accountable, I've decided to make Wednesdays "weight loss Wednesday" where I weigh in and post a picture of the scale. I know there aren't many of you following me, but I feel this is a great way to say, I'm accountable. When I reach for the extra cookie, I'll think twice.
So here goes my starting weight:

194.2. Obviously, I had not drank coffee and the picture is sideways. Oh well. Here I go!

Motivational Wall

I made a wall of quotes at work to motivate me thru the day. Some are health while others are about life. They send me to my happy place.

Space Age Soda

We ate at Noodles and Company tonight. They have a screen and you can pick a flavor of soda. But some flavors (like diet coke) have multiple sub flavors. Pretty fancy stuff.

Stormy Day

Rain wrapped tornados, hail, wind and lots of rain in Wichita today. We got the last three. No major damage.

Yard Work

Before:

After:

Two of happiest dogs on earth.

They were so happy. They've never had grass in the backyard. They played, rolled and laid down to rest.

Mama Robin

We have a robin nest right outside the front door. I have been wanting to check out her nest cause she is there all the time.

Look what I found! So exciting.

Summer is on it's Way

Tonight was gorgeous. We sat outside just relaxing. Oreo and Lucy had a ball chasing each other.

Look at Oreo's crooked teeth.

We uncovered the pool and its nice and blue.

Delicious supper! Mac and cheese burger, fries and veggies. The burger was so good!

Yummy Goodness

Another good thing about summer.

McDonalds ice cream cones. 5 WW points. Filling but not sickening.

It's Summer!

What you say? It's only May? I know but it's been in the 80's this week. Too hot for regular coffee. So what does a girl do?

ICED COFFEE!!
Yummy goodness for one WW point. Brew some joe, stick it in the fridge overnight (or the freezer for 40 minutes cause you forgot to do that last night). Add 3T creamer and ice and you are ready to roll!!

Cool Whip Frosting

I decided to try out the Cool Whip Frosting. I LOVE frosting and cake and all things sweet...I digress. Jeff isn't a fan of frosting but he loves cool whip so I thought I'd try this out.
Verdict: eh. No one really liked it. It tastes okay but it's not sweet enough for me and the texture is odd for frosting (not for cool whip). And then the dessert has to be refrigerated. What a drag. I think I'll stick to regular frosting.

My Reading Partner

Yes, Reggie loves to sit on the bed while I read in the evening. Probably because she doesn't get much 1:1 time. And the pups are no where close.

Mother's Day

Today was gorgeous. 70+ and sunny. We slept in, went to church and when L and I got home, Jeff had lunch ready from Cinnamon's Deli. Yum! I received this lovely cow planter, a new exercise tank and shoelaces. L made me a card and a book. It was wonderful!!
We spent the rest of the day doing yard projects. I got out all the deck furniture and L and I enjoyed some time on the deck reading and watching Netflix. Dinner was simple and home.

My kind of day.

Thursday Nights

On Thursday nights, L has dance until 8:45. Jeff teaches so I have a short time of me time (quiet time). The dogs know when I leave, they get to go with me. If I don't let them, Oreo howls. They love the car.
