Stormy Sunday..

What a storm that just came through here! My fur babies are not happy and all are in hiding at the time! The thunder was crazy loud! The electric only flickered here a few times thankfully we never lost power! It should be unbearably humid now today.. Thank you Mother Nature!
  Got my house picked up and my last load of laundry in the washer.. John and Koda are outside rearranging the garage to begin setting up for our yard sale this coming weekend! We are really hoping for a good turn out but we just aren't sure after they redid the outer road we just don't get the drive by traffic we used to for that we are grateful but for yard sales and Halloween it SUCKS!
   John decided to let me join the gym ( I mean its 10 bucks a month come on babe seriously) so today I am going with my trainer/Zumba instructor for the first time. I really hope I like it and the drive doesn't seem to far. I think it could help me lose these last 34 pounds pretty quickly!
   Not much going on here today pretty quiet laid back Sunday! Love to all!


Thought of the day...

Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.

Busy weekend so far..

Friday.. I slept in and did some housework before I headed to Wal Mart and went and paid some bills. Then John and I headed to our Friday night auction.. not much there tonight (stuff or people) so there were alot of great deals but we didn't buy much. We got our boys a foosball table though so that was pretty exciting! Went to IHOP again afterward and had french toast again this week but I had enough points so it was OK!

Saturday.. I got up around 9:00am and headed out to some neighborhood yard sales in Kansas.. John ended up meeting up with me and going with me but there wasn't many things out there we were searching for mostly baby stuff so we headed to the auction in Olathe, KS didn't get much there either and left way before the auction was over but it was a fun day! Tonight I cleaned up the house and I'm still working on laundry right now.


Tomorrow ... I am going to go work out at the gym with Terri! Got to burn off that French Toast! LOL Not sure what else I'm going to do yet.

Hope you all had a good day!

Thrifty Thursday!

Went to bed way too late last night so getting up this morning early was not easy! I just wanted to SLEEP!! But I got up and slowly woke up before I headed out to get Heather to go to yard sales and thrift stores for the day... I got a few great deals today and Heather did as well! I started to head toward home around 4:30pm stopped by Price Chopper and grabbed some deli meat for dinner (sandwiches and soup) before we headed off to Dalton's last band concert.. very proud of him and of the success he has had this year in Jazz Band! He had told us he was done with band but now I think he is second guessing that decision.. I guess we'll see! Got home tonight around 8:30pm and I spent 90 minutes or so picking up the house and starting some laundry cuz it didn't get done this morning that's for sure! LOL Going to surf the Web for a bit, work on laundry and maybe catch up on a few of my shows! Hope you all had a thrifty day as well!

Very busy Weigh In Wednesday!!

Went to weigh in today and I lost another 2 lbs this week for a total of 31.6.. so freakin excited!! I am only 34.4 from my goal weight I'm almost half way there!!  In the last 2 weeks I have lost 5.6 pounds lets hope it keeps coming off so good! After WI I headed to my SIL's Sharon's to visit for a bit and to take her my money for my Tshirt from my niece Jen.. I'm not coming Jen sorry Dalton's last band concert ever is tomorrow night and I cant miss it! Maybe next year I'll make it!! After visiting for a few hours I headed to Costco for my Salmon and some fruit and veggies.. on my way John called and said the van was fixed I could go pick it up so after getting my goodies I headed that way and picked up my good as new van all fixed and good to go!  I rushed home and put my groceries away and changed to get ready for Zumba to finally figure out I am 35 minutes LATE! I thought it started at 6:30 tonight I am such a blond sometimes! LOL I got 30 minutes in so I'll take it! Had a great time chatting after Zumba with Terri and Jillian tonight! DON'T SIGN IT TERRI DON'T SIGN IT!! LMAO!! WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE ZUMBA WORLD! BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! LMAO! Oh and I'm pretty sure all my begging has paid off hes going to let me join the gym! Lets get our work out on!

OK after Zumba I ran home grabbed John and we went and ate at IHOP since its my new week and I was seriously craving french toast.. I ate it and tracked it so I'm good! But while sitting there these 3 people came in and were seated in the booth behind us they were sooooo big they couldn't all three fit in the booth and that wasn't the bad part! The two woman of the group started talking about having body shots done off them.. OK I was trying to eat and about choked on my food and most likely puked a bit in my mouth. I am not judging cuz they are overweight  but seriously 300+ pound woman should not be talking about having body shots done off them I mean SERIOUSLY!! I weigh 176 and I wouldn't want anyone doing them off me! WTF??? Then the teenage boy that was with them and was probably about 400 pounds... literally sat there and watched my food the whole time I was trying to eat it I almost offered him some of my french toast but I wasn't sharing! I was like geez dude your food is coming you'll make baby!! It was an interesting dinner to say the least but this is Grandview I should have expected it!

Tuesday night Zumba!

       I had a great day and really got some much needed rest. Tonight was Zumba class.. only had 1 class tonight so we did 30 minutes of Zumba circuit and then the last 30 minutes we did just the circuit and some abs. One of my goals is to be able to do at least 1 Merryweather but I need to continue to build up my core strength just not there yet.. Terri my trainer can do 12 and she is in the best shape so if I can ever just do one I will be the happiest person on the planet!!! I know I am physically getting stronger everyday but I still have a ways to go as of my weigh in last Wednesday I was 36.4 pounds away from my goal weight I am almost half way there!

      Tomorrow is Weigh in Wednesday!! I'm having a good feeling about it.. I got my fingers crossed and praying for the best! I will post my measurements in the morning and then what the evil scale says in the afternoon. Til then have a great night and sweet dreams to all!

Happy May Day!

      

I didn't know much about May Day til I did a bit of research this morning. It started in the Middle Ages and is actually two distinct holidays: one in honor of spring and the other in recognition of workers. It celebrates the end of the harsh winter months and the start of the fertile summer months by feasting, frolicking and competing in games. It is also known as International Workers' Day, May Day has a connection to work that dates back to the late 19th century, when American laborers fought for an eight-hour workday. In much of Western Europe and parts of America, May Day is now celebrated with traditional folk dancing around a maypole, a tree-like totem that typically stands up to ten feet tall. At one time, this practice marked the beginning of courting season for young adults.
      Here is another little tidbit about May Day... Worried that the rowdy festival made people frisky, the Catholic Church banned May Day celebrations in the early 1600s. The clergy wasn't the only group to point out May Day's sexual undertones: Several historians have suggested that the maypole is a phallic symbol. OK there is your history lesson for the day! But May 1st is also my brother in law Charlie's 35th birthday so that makes it even more special! Happy Birthday old man!
      Well for me.. today has been nothing but wonderful.. I haven't done a darn thing! I slept til 11:00am after having another one of my nights of dreaming the same stupid dream over and over and over! After the same dream every time I wake up, roll over and do it all over again. It really makes for a suck night of sleep! But I'm grateful for waking up and still being here on this crazy planet! I'll get up here shortly and work on cleaning up my animal areas and picking up the house.. its really in good shape so it shouldn't take me long!
      Today is Tuesday.. so I am being rather picky with what I eat since tomorrow is Weigh In Wednesday but I'm not sure how its going to go this week it could go either way.. we have eaten out alot this week but I have been extremely busy with cleaning, rearranging, walking, some running, so it may have helped even out all the eating out or at least I hope so. If not tomorrow is a new week for me and I wont make that mistake again. I can say this.. I don't feel like Ive gained weight so my gut is saying I'm OK but the scale will definitely let me know tomorrow! Only plus I got is tonight is ZUMBA.. if there are 2 classes tonight I think I will stay and do both of them.. it surely cant hurt!
     I can hear the trash man outside I'm sure he hates us this week for the huge pile we have out there after doing all the Spring Cleaning we've been doing and that doesn't even include the huge pile in the garage for our upcoming yard sale.. we have been on a mission!! Thank you Mr. Trash man!

This is for Terri my Zumba instructor!
She does look like the chic on the left the rest of us are definitely the one on the right! LOL
Love it!
