Hey guys! Im here!;)

I am here....I really am! LOL I know it has been a terrible long time again since my last post but time and issues have not been kind to me lately so I have had no ambition:( So I can finally say that things are kinda looking up.....got that haircut that is perfect finally....Its been a LONG time comin! I havent been happy with the cut in a very terrible long time! The color?! I have always loved the color but I dare to be different:) lol

Christmas 2011......Hmmm where do I start???? I decided to try to turn over a new leaf with Christmas this year and focus on the reason for the season......Jesus....family....togetherness.....The list can go on and on but those are the ones that are most vivid in my mind. I can say that moving out of the "miserable" attitude of Christmas has defineately made my days more bearable:) We put our tree up this year, we have our stocking hung by the fireplace with care:), and we have proudly been watching Christmas movies most nights before drifting off to sleep:)

In other news.....WORK WORK WORK......Thats all I feel that I do these days....I am getting excited to hopefully get the RN position that I applied for at work to be on the newly designed locked down Alzheimers/Dementis Unit! I NEED a change and a change bad! Before I need Prozac! LOL

So meanwhile with the diet! Awesome! I have maintained my goal weight or under for 5 months now....with lotsa cheating along the way! Thats what I wanted, I want to be able to splurge once in a while and still have the knowledge and willpower to revert back to WW.....I cancelled my Planet Fitness membership that I paid to all summer and didnt use and Chad and I have been working out at the local high school at least 3-4 times a week to maintain....I hate winter!

Later!:)

T minus 24 hours!

Sarah and I are leavin on a jet plane to Florida! I have never flown before so it's gonna be quite the experience;) it will be nice to arrive in 3 hours rather than the 24 it took us when we drove there;) We haven't been since the Christmas of 2006/new years 2007... Big plans to relax..... Drink a few margaritas.... Walk every morning..., and enjoy the sunshine!

Man its been a while again:(

Happy Fall of 2011 BTW:) I love this time of the year pretty much:) I love the leaves, I love the pumpkin stuff, I love the cool nights, I love wearing sweatshirts and jeans after a sweltering summer:) I dilike that winter is so close and the heating bills have already stared showing their pretty faces even though we have NOT used the heat and REFUSE to until November 1st has hit! LOL

Well I have been maintaining my weight at WW with my monthly maintenence weigh ins.....I have been cheating alot and not walking as much when the weather does not cooperate:( I know deep down in my mind that the gym attending days are creeping back up on me and I am NOT happy about that!:( I am going to set a goal that over the winter months I want to break the 160's and tour around in the 150 range:) I set my goal at WW high at 165# but I will change it when I see results.....It feels great when those size 10's fit perfectly and are starting to show sorts of looseness:) (Is that a word???:) and venturing towards that single digit # is starting to itch! lol So I am going to tone up and push past this 162 mark I haved been maintaining:)

In other news....Sarah and I have finally planned, a purchased plane tickets to Florida! Its been 4.5 years since we payed Barefoot Bay a visit and we're leavin on a jet plane bright and early 8am monday morning for 9 whole days!:) Super excited here! Later on!

Ahhhhh Good to know!;)

I have recently within the past month been adicted to the Emerald brand 100 calorie dry roasted almonds and have them every day;) Hence the reason the weight is falling off!;)

For fall!:) Sweatshirts and blue jeans!:) And hometown football games......Apple orchards and EVERYTHING pumpkin:) I love this time of the year, I just HATE the season that follows AND this beautiful time of the year only lasts for a very short time:( So on the downside of spending ALL summer losing this weight.....New jeans.....New shirts.....New winter coat......New shoes.....New Boots......New EVERYTHING! Thank God for a good job and Great Back to school sales right now:) I even went darker with the hair in the above picture for fall! I am falling for fall!!:)

Oh......The FUN we had!

Thats right!:) Girls just wanna have fun!:) At least these girls do! This past weekend, some girls from work and I headed out on PLeasant Lake and drank fruity margaritas and had well........A good time! After all that sugar and chaos, I still managed to maintain the weight AND plan on weighing in next tuesday at the meeting and getting Septembers monthly WI DONE!

On another diet note:) I graduated to American Eagles size MEDIUM shirts! !:) I cant ever remember a time I was wearing a medium anything!

As summer fades....

Into Fall:) I love fall....The fact that winter follows doesnt excite me much but thats Michigan for ya.... I have been busy with the whirlwind of summer and havent kept my Blogger friends updated much so I am gonna do a fast and easy update:) I met lifetime in Weight Watchers on July 11th and I have just kept on plugging away:) I weighed in at last nights meeting for the month of August and I was 4 pounds less than my goal weight:) 2 more pounds and I am gonna forever say good bye to the 160's:) The cluster of county fairs kinda slowed me up on the scale going down down down:) But I really did try to be good as I like to attend EVERY single fair in the area:) The only one left is a month a way and I have to endulge:) lol

Sarah and I have a Florida trip planned from October 17th through the 25th so I have set myself a little goal to obtain of weighing 158# by that date:) This means I must reset my goal weight with WW as they frown upon being 2# above or below the set goal weight of 165#.....

Another non scale victory that I have accomplished in the past week is I feel like the only clothes that I wear are SCRUBS! Well even so...I dug out some OLD OLD OLD Size small scrubs that would not go over my thighs last summer, and they are fitting loose now:) And I am loosely into a size 10 from American Eagle, and I FINALLY busted down and got those expensive jeans from the Buckle that have been my forever goal since starting WW in 2005 initially.....Expensive as in $180:) lol And those babies are a size 29 x 33.......Who would have EVER thought! I LOVE YOU WW!

Other than the diet news....I have been trying to squeeze in the last few summer things I wanted to do this summer...I still need to attend a zoo....And it doesnt look like Michigans adventure is gonna happen this year...I am still gonna make it to a mudd bogg....

Oh and I got a Nook Color for my birthday and its the most amazing thing and nerd booklover could have! I havent set the damn thing down all month and I have whizzed through 3 novels! Great gift idea:)

Later on!
