I'm Going to Win this Battle! :)

It is time to make a change. No more excuses! My weight has been up and down my entire life. I look at pictures where I truly look great and think, "Wow, I thought I was really fat THEN!" My whole mindset is changing! This is my new life; it's an endless journey, because even when I reach goal I will still have to work hard to MAINTAIN. I can't lose 80+ pounds and then start eating pizza, subs, chips & dip, cheeseburgers & fries, fast food, etc.! I used to tell myself that I didn't ...

My whole mindset is changing! This is my new life; it's an endless journey, because even when I reach goal I will still have to work hard to MAINTAIN. I can't lose 80+ pounds and then start eating pizza, subs, chips & dip, cheeseburgers & fries, fast food, etc.! I used to tell myself that I didn't care, it didn't matter, I'm married with kids so what's the point....BUT on New Years Eve, I had an epiphany. For the first time in 20+ years, I am taking this healthy lifestyle seriously. 2009: This is MY year!

Yeah my car repair went pretty well. I've been living in Boston about 5 years and have just now found a mechanic I somewhat trust and don't feel like I need lube when I go in to have work done. It was some routine maintenance and one pretty minor repair. I was lucky!!

Sorry to hear about your laptop. I can so relate to the Geek Squad guy's comment though. That stuff always happens to me, lol. Oh well, what can we do?

Have a great weekend!!

Thanks for the sunshine, it's going to be rainy today, but clear tomorrow. The smells of baking are filling the house right now: cinnamon raisin bread in the bread machine, Mrs. Smith's apple pie (for Sunday) is now baked, Garnett sweet potatoes (expensive, but worth it for Thanksgiving & Christmas) are almost done. I need DH to cut the butternut squash in half so that I can bake that tonight.

How much time off from school do you have? The schools around here close for the entire Thanksgiving week. emoticon
