a very busy 3 days..

just some family pics from the last 3 days..had a lot of fun now back to the normal routine..

we have had a lot of fun the last three days..my mom has enjoyed it as well..and i am so glad she did..yesterday was our first day back to the way our life normally is..and it felt kinda funny..we had been going places and seeing people for 3 days now and all of a sudden were back to normal routines..well my mom likes normal routines..i on the other hand like to spice things up once in a while and do something different..today i am writing my blog from work..now that is different since my uncle usually doesnt like anyone to bring the computers to work..but he doesnt know so we wont tell him..right!..hehe so this is real different for me..finally something for me to do while i am here..im glad i have this job..but really i wouldnt blame my uncle if he closed it up right now..its so slow there is no way he is going to make money with it this summer..

yesterday we went to charlies chicken to eat and i did something different there too..i ate chicken livers and gizzards instead of the normal plates i would get..but i like livers and i looked it up on my calorie counter on my phone and it wasnt too bad..i didnt exactly put down every calorie on paper yesterday but i know i didnt go over my 1300 ..just simply because i didnt eat a whole lot..i need to focus on that more..and what kind of food i need to be eating instead of the fast food stuff..but i am doing alot better about not eating the snocones here at work..i have decided i dont need them..they are only sugar and i just dont need it..i got down 40 ounces of water yesterday and i am going to do more today..i am doing better about wanting to drink the water than i used too..i used to never want water and now i get up and thats the first thing i do is get my water..and thats not a glass its a 24 ounce bottle..whoohoo one that says i love new york..hehe thanks kenlie i love it..

while i was at charlies yesterday my friend holly saw my app for the calorie counting and so i helped her put it on her phone and she just loves it..i have had the most help with this app than any other app..i love calorie king but this is the one ofr my phone and it helps us tremendously..i still havent gotten out and walked yet..tonight i am going too and i know i have said that over and over and something always happens to stop it..well last night it was a storm..came up real fast and i even saw the rain clouds coming in..looked spooky..but i will tonight ..i know its the walking and the water and the calories..together..i cant do it with just one of the three its all of the three..well i was able to put my compression hose back on my legs..so wrapping my legs for the week that i did that really helped bring them down..now i need to keep them down..my chair broke on me and so i havent been able to go back in the chair and keep my legs up..but i have a hassack now and it seems to help..my legs do feel better in the hose..

well today finds me at work writing my blog and talking to my friends..this makes a long day very short..i hope you all have a wonderfully short day..hehe
enjoy the journey you are on..

im rockin tonight!

okay here i am after i walked the 2 miles..i was sweatin..and tired..and here is the lake that were going to walk sunday .this picture was this last sunday right around a storm coming in..

wow im back...! i was rockin today...i watched my calories and i am drinking my 64 ounces as i write and i walked and walked and walked tonight..i did 2 miles in 41 minutes tonight and was pushin it ..i tellya i was pushin..i hadnt walked in 2 weeks mainly cause of the heat..but also because i had been feeling so down..but not now..i am back..

i had noticed how my legs were creeping back to hurting again..and i am going to have to get the injections in my knees now..i am having a hard time bending over..and i was just starting to feel the pain all over again..so now i am not going to go backwards..not again..not now..i am moving forward and getting this weight off..its coming off and staying off for life..i dont want to get back in the shape i was in..i want to be healthy..and i know its going to take some time..hey i have all the time in the world..i have the rest of my life..and i am going to do this if it takes the rest of it to accomplish it..i was really pushin tonight...i just wanted to do a mile and a half to start, but after i got to the mile and a half then i was still around the corner so i thought why not go for the 2 miles..after all i am going to be walking the 3 miles on sunday with sean and kenz..so i better be ready..

i can t wait either..i have wanted to walk the lake for a long time just wasnt ready to do it til now..but i am going to give it my best try..i did well with the calories..i had 1280 calories today..i did have a kiddie snocone but i hadnt had a whole lot to begin with..i am going to have to start drinking my water as soon as i get up in order to get it all down..but i will tonight..i really feel good today..i know in my heart and my mind its going to come off this time..im not going backwards..

well tomorrow night i am going to push for 2 and a half miles and get up to 3 miles by friday..so i will be walking at night..thats when it is the coolest here..it gets up to over a 100 degrees during the day and even in the evening its still like 90...so when i get home after 10 is when i will walk..but i am back..!!

hope you all are doing well on your journey..
keep drinking the water..

not quite the snocone day..

these are all pictures from today and alot are family..but it was fun..


well today was the grand opening for our snocone stand..not quite the opening we wanted but you cant always get the weather you want all the time..it didnt rain but was cloudy enough to keep it really cool ..which i love, but not for this..i work for my uncle bob in the summer and have for around 15 years or so..iam the snoconegirl..and now the snoconelady..lol its really alot of fun and i get to meet some very intersting people sometimes..

but today they just didnt make it out to see us..we had hot dogs and pop and popcorn and cotton candy ..and of course snocones...and we had a handful of people.it was kinda disappointing but life goes on..we will have another day on monday..i am so sore from all the walking and getting in and out of the stand with these castes..i can barely move..i hurt all over..i did so well today..i was very pleased..i didnt have one not even one snocone..yea!usually if i have one i will have another and another and keep going..but i didnt have one..i didnt have anything else either..i had one hotdog because i had to eat something..so i had a hotdog on a bun with mustard..that was it..we have burger king next door and last summer they got to know me by my first name..not this summer..they may not know me at all..

the other girls were going over there and getting stuff and they asked me if i wanted anything and i said no thank you..how nice to say those words and mean it..
it was a fun day..iam usually ready to start working about this time and this summer is no different..well it is because i am focused on this weight ..so this will be a challenge for me..one i know i can handle..
my whole day has been working pretty much ..i didnt get to walk like i normally do but i will tomorrow..i get tomorrow off and i think i need it..but actually we are closed on sundays which is nice..

i ended up with 1500 calories because of the stuff i ate afterwards..i was hungry but not 800 calories hungry..iam learning and this is like i said a challenge for me..
i hope you all have a great sunday..i better get into bed if i am going to make it to church..so goodnight all
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
