Eeeewww, not so pretty huh????????  LOL!! Well thats about how I’m feeling about now…this Monday morning….the weekend after Halloween.  Anyone else have the Halloween Candy Hangover???????????

I know I vowed to be strong and stick to my guns during Trick or Treat.  Little Talan was sharing candy left and right.  When I’d say no, he’d get this little pout on his face and say “Why Gramma”  so I ended up over doing it a bit.

We fell into the old day after trap.  All Halloween Candy 1/2 off…OMG!!! Enough, my belly is so sore, and Today is a New Day my buddys!!! A new start, a new Month. 

Candy Candy Everywhere!!!! We bought some for the kiddies, but now its gone somewhere!!!!

We bought some more and locked it all up  LOL!!! No more Trick or Treats for us this year  hehehehe

Oh my Buddys, the Temptations of the holidays  “sigh”   Candy for  the Ghosts and Goblins, then comes Thanksgiving….Pumpkin Pie, Turkey and food galore.

Christmas……hold on tight.  We make Christmas Cookies, give cookies in tins, make candy/nut baskets for all of our friends.   How can you NOT nibble on all these yummy goodies once a year??????

So, I’m asking all to join a big circle of strength and faith, that this Holiday season, we can all have a “few” goodies, but not to overdue.  All the temptations will be rough, but lets think of our health and on New Years Day, we’ll feel  so much prouder and healthier.

Happy Halloween to all my buddys out there.  To all the little Trick or Treaters, please stay safe and have a fun time.

Love you guys!!! Woops, Shanna, if you read this, I’ve decided to be Dr. Jeckyl this year….boooooooooo!!!!  gotcha!!!! LOL!!!

Hey Buddys.  Happy Monday afternoon to you all!!!

We arrived back in Michigan on Friday and got home around 8:00 p.m.  It felt good to be home, but I can’t wait to go to Disney again!!!

We were so busy trying to see as much as possible.  For 3 nights we didn’t even get home until midnight.  Then up at 8:00 a.m. next morning!!!  LOL….talk about being Grumpy, Dopey, Sleepy, and not very happy : )

I’m so anxious to hear how everyone is doing.  I received the sad news of Kama’s father passing.  My heart is still sore, and I still feel so sad.  My prayers are always there Kama.

Can’t say I did very well on the eating front.  We actually only ate 2 meals a day.  Drank alot of water, very little pop.

The food choices I found to be unhealthy.  Lots of hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken.  Some places did offer salad.

We went to a Character Breakfast and they served these huge platters of eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, mickeys (mini waffles shaped like Mikey) We also had a beautiful fresh fruit bowl and some pastries and cinnamon buns.  I ate lots of fruit : )

So today is the day to get BACK ON TRACK!!!! I only went up 2 pounds on the trip, which I wasn’t upset about.

My husbands sister Chris also has a time share in Disney and wants to take us as guests in May  YIKKKEEES…..too much money!!!!  Maybe May 2010 : )

Ok, gonna go for now.  I’d like to find some time to catch up on everyones lives.

Hope this blog finds you all happy and healthier.  Remember baby steps buddys, this weight didn’t come over night, and it won’t come OFF overnight!!!  Keep positive, have faith in yourself….and have a great evening : )

Lots of Love and Many Big Hugs to all my Buddys!!!

Good Monday morning to all the BuddySlimmers out there :0)  Hope your weekend was a good one.  After reading a few blogs, seems like all is well here.  Doesn’t it seem there are soooooooooo many new members? or is it just me?

Oh, well when you get my age, and twice a gramma now, your mind does start to slip…LOL!!!  mine has almost fallen to the ground….OH GEEZ!!!!

The pic I picked for my blog made me laugh, because I have a t-shirt that says the exact same thing.  I always get a comment or a chuckle when I’m out shopping or whatever. 

Just yesterday my husband wore his fav t-shirt which said “Don’t Rush Me I Get Paid By the Hour” 

As we were walking through Meijers another young man had a t-shirt that read “I See Dumb People”  Both my husband and this man read each others shirts in passing, and they both laughed.  Isn’t it funny how silly t-shirts like that can tell so much about your personality.

Anyway, sounds like I’m on a tangent!!! A little talkative today :)  well everyday really….hehehe

I love the fall weather.  The leaves on the trees are changing and when the sun shines on them, it is breathtaking.  I love the cool days and evenings…the air just seems to smell better then summer.

The best part is Alan and I have begun our evening walks again.  We don’t go far, because I’m still trying to see how much I can handle.  The fun part is finding new trails or parks to walk at.

Hope everybody has a great week at work or at home.  Smile Big Buddys….Laugh Alot……and Eat Healthy.  We are all fighters here at Buddyslim.  We don’t give up.

Can we please keep Kama deep in our prayers, she is going through so much right now.  We all love her and care for her and she really needs us now.

If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person.  If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation.  If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.

This is it.  4:45 a.m. phone rings.  Both hubby and I are fast asleep.  Tim (Angelas fiance) says…ITS BABY TIME!!!

5:00, I’m in shower, can’t hardly keep my eyes open (due to heavy sleeping meds)

5:30 a.m., drinking coffee, writing blog.

Now I’m off to welcome little Brooklyn Rose into this beautiful world God has created for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Debbie, hope you are ok….maybe today will be your day too!!!

Love you all, will update you all later.

Good Morning my good buddys.  Hope this morning finds you all healthy and happy.  Remember life is very short, so live it to the fullest and most of all find something to smile about.  Make a stranger smile, it just might make there day so much brighter

I was thinking about my little grandson Talan, and my smile just comes alive.  I get this certain feeling in my heart…such a feeling of unexplained love.  A love unlike any other. 

I find myself laughing about his little shannigans  LOL.  Like the other day for instance, he loves to pull my reading glasses out of my purse, and say “Gramma here your glasses”  he continues to put them on my face.  I’m praying the whole time because he is pulling them wide open, almost breaking them.  He has already broke my favorite pair, but hey material items can be replaced.

Well I had taken Angela to her pregnancy checkup and I had my glasses when I picked her and Talan up.  When we were shopping I couldn’t find them.  I just was sick, we looked all over the car, under the seats and nothing :(  I figured they were set down in the docs office, or maybe lost shopping.

Two days later Angela called and said with excitement in her voice “Mom you won’t believe what Talan just brought out of his room”  I said, what I have no idea.  She said just guess.  I said I HAVE NO IDEA TELL ME!!!!!

Talan walked out of his bedroom with my purple eyeglass holder, with my glasses inside.  Somehow that little guy had confiscated my glasses and had them in his room…LOL!!!!

So innocent on his part, frustrating for a bit, but oveall very funny.  His innocence is so beautiful and refreshing to me.  I watch as he repeats EVERY word…..”giggling”  I mean EVERY word.  We have to be very very careful.  He’s heard his father say this one time too many “Oh Shit” and of course Talan loves his daddy, so he says it all the time.  No reason, just says it. 

Angela and I were getting hair done and eyebrows waxed, and as I sat in the chair getting my hair done, little Talan walks up to the hairdresser and looks at her…Angela is calling him back to come sit while Gramma gets her hair done, and he looks up and says in this quiet little voice Oh Shit.  OMGoodness, Angela wanted to just crawl under the chair, and I held back laughing, and everyone in the beauty shop was laughing.  It was all so innocent, he has no idea what it means, but to hear it coming out of his little mouth is just funny.  Angela disciplined him of course, so we watch our mouthes carefully.

So my buddys, lets find some of the innocence of the children.  Lets have a happy, silly, stress free (as much as possible) Life full of God, love, and comfort for each other.

As my father would say “Jane, we only go through this life one time, so lets make it the best we can”  And Always find a reason to smile

Love you all from the bottom of my heart.  Sending you all peace, innocence, and Gods blessings as we walk together on our journey to healthy eating and healthy living.

Good Friday Morning my   buddys!! Its almost here, the WEEKEND

When I first joined BuddySlim, I was so curious how to add picture to my blogs and boosters.  I asked someone I never met and she worked me through it.  It took a bit to get the hang of it.  Sometimes I still find sites that don’t work for me.

I have a new buddy here at BuddySlim, and she is trying so hard to get pics in her blogs to jazz them up a bit :) 

Would you tell us the steps you take to get pics in your blogs.

I would really appreciate this as she is such a nice buddy. 

Soooooooooooooooo has everyones week gone well?  Are you looking forward to the weekend????????? I know I am.

Get to change my weight ticker or is it tracker  LOL!!! again today.  My jeans are still way tight, so thats discouraging.  But I do feel better emotionally knowing I can do this…I CAN GET THIS WEIGHT OFF!!!!

Ok..bye bye for now.  Love you guys!!!

Thanks for all your help always!!

Good Tuesday Morning my buddys :)  Hope everyones Labor Day weekend was a relaxing, fun time for you all.

I was thinking lately about my “wish list” for my life.  I think when you become sick things look very different.  You look at life in a whole new perspective.

I’ve made many lists of “Dreams” in the past, but I sat down and seriously wrote my best dreams and wishes.

• First & obvious, lose this unwanted weight
• Have many grandchildren
• See my children really be happy in life
• Have a BuddySlim Reunion
• Get to Disneyworld (going in October [fingers crossed])
• I’m adopted, so I’d love to find my birth parents and or siblings.  I’ve tried with no results.  Any one have suggestions?
• Have God lead me into a volunteer position with the handicapped/down syndrome children (they always tug at my heart)
• Live on a lake
• Travel to every state
• Go to Canada to meet my best friend

What are your dreams?  Do you just have one BIG Dream, or do you have a list like I do?

One does not make friends; one recognizes them.

Friendship is in loving rather than in being loved.

He who is true to one friend thus proves himself worthy of many.

God bless you all…sending Big Hugs all around

    
Our company which comes tommorrow evening.  I will have my mother in law and 18 year old step daughter for a few days.  Hubby and I are soooooooooooo excited, but as I sit and try to figure out meals I’m drawing a blank…LOL!!  that happens often to me

My mother in law is a diabetic (she doesn’t follow strict rules at all) and my step daughter is a beautiful dancer (very in shape) but I’m sure she isn’t focused on “healthy eating”

Soooooooooooooo my question buddys?????????  Any ideas or suggestions would be so greatly appreciated.

I know we will be doing a Steak dinner one night…and probably Turkey burgers/hot dogs on the grill another night.

I’m also looking for new snack ideas, my mother in law is a snacker…LOL!!! We’ll have so much fun but I want to try to add some type of healthiness to their trip!!!

Hope all my buddys are doing well.  I’ve been away from BuddySlim the past few days.  Busy cleaning house here!! Sorry for not keeping up with my buddys lives.  Sending blessings and love to all here!!

      Hey Buddys!!! I really have nothing fun to blog about today.  I’m almost took Deborahs title from her blog…I really have nothing to say  LOL!!!  Thats a rare thing here for me!!! LOL!!!

 So this is a good time to give a big shout out to all my buddys. A big thank you for all that take the time to keep in touch…to encourage…and to send hugs!!! Each one of you is so special  to me.  You’ve all made my life more complete.

The weight isn’t coming off as quickly as I would like, but without you the scales would be going up.  You keep me on my toes….little reminders….little nudges…and lots of prayers…and for that I thank you one and all!!

Hope your weekend is fabulous!! just like all of you are!!
