What a Wonderful Weekend I Had!
Good Morning Buddys!! What a Wonderful Weekend we had here!!
Here is a picture of my little Talan. We are now into brushing teeth, you see he has not only 1, but 2 toothbrushes!! LOL!!! The words of the day are “brush teeth”, “coat”, “shoes”, “doggys”, “cheese” and he couldn’t find me and he actually said to my husband wheres “ama” LMAO!! OMGoodness…that really made my day!!! We picked little man up at 3:30 at my daughters work on Friady and our visit was really cut short. Saturday morning we had to drop him at the other Grammas 
at 11:30. I was really disappointed, I expected to keep him all weekend, but realistically I know my heart isn’t strong enough. I was tired as it was, but I wanted more time with Talan.
Not to worry, because on Tuesday Tim (his father) will drop him here at 9:00 a.m. and then go on a job search. Saying prayers he gets something quickly, Michigan is known for high unemployment.
On the healthy eating front…we didn’t do to bad. Weekends are especially difficult for my husband and I. Today is a special day because my husband is actually going to eat healthy with me. He has been trying, but we will eat the exact same meals. It will be a challenge as I have 3 others to cook for, but I’m determined and see this as a new challenge. I hate to fail, so with God on my side I can accomplish this!!
Finally, finally, we made it back to the YMCA on Sunday. You know we were under severe storm warnings, but I didn’t care. I just said a long prayer to keep us safe getting there and back home, and we went! Never felt better, although I could feel my body ache moreso because it had been a while. I have been walking on the treadmill at home, but not faithfully like I should.
Soooooooooooo thats it…..new day….husbands on board 100%, my dad is good….my kids seem happy, my dogs make me smile, and God is Great, so what more could you ask for? Well maybe a size 14 body….LOL!!! but that’ll come, sooner or later, probably much later, but it will make it!!!
Found this in a magazine…
~~East Weight-loss Trick~~
Having a bowl of broth-based soup as an appetizer will cut your calorie intake by 20%, according to a new Penn State University study.
Sending hugs all around….Have a Healthy, Happy Day Everyone!!
Glad you had a wonderful weekend! Thanks for the broth tip!
Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend
Talon is so CUTE!!!
So pleased to hear that you had a good weekend. And HIGH FIVERS to your husband for getting on board with the healthy eating. Not only good for him healthwise, but shows how much he loves you too! Total support on the homefront. How cool. Makes me smile.
Hugggggggggggggggs,
Shan
I love those pics! Good job to both you and your hubby! You and your family are in my prayers!
What a precious little boy… but they can wear you OUT at that age. Ed and I had our two little grandsons everyday for 10 hours during the week. They gave me a reason to live and correct the bad habits I had created after the death of our youngest. Even after the divorce we stayed close with the boys and are very close to this day. Ed always joined me on my health kicks, he just drew the line at tofu. ENJOY that youngin’ they grow up so fast. Come on honey, you’ve got to stay as healthy as you can. Your family adores you. Love, Marge P.S. So do I!!
So glad you had such a great weekend with Talan. When you come to MA you are welcome to mine
He WILL give you a workout LOL And, I am so glad hubby is on board - it really helps especially on the weekend. As for soup, I am a big fan - I have it for meals alot. Glad Dad is well, too!!!!! HUgs to yoU!
Janet you had a lovely weekend indeed!! Sounds like Talan gave YOU a run for your money!! And kudos to DH for getting on board…maybe you should cook ONE HEALTHY MEAL for the family, who couldn’t use a healthy home cooked meal, right??
And Janet, thanks for your prayers…keep them coming, specially this week, ’cause if these people at work keep up they craziness, I’m going to end up in prison, if you know what I mean!
Love the soup idea and I think it is so cool that you both are eating together. David and I usually do this too, he adds to his, but it works. It is so much healthier, but of course it takes time. SO good job to you both and especially your husband who is taking a great step forward. You must be a tremendous influence Jane
Have a good day *hugs*
