Playing Golf!?!?!?

My hubby is an avid golfer... Hence this picture...



He came up with a really WILD idea that I come with him and the boys that he works with! Well, I did, and had a goofy ole time with them. I had more fun chauffering, get lil sun, than I did actually playing golf.. How u suppose to hit that lil ole ball.. anywho.. lol!.. we still laugh when we think about me up there! The one thing he did though, was get the camera and take a few shots, well, I never noticed he had it, when I uploaded the pics of the day, I asked Who the girl was in the picture below!.. he says.. "HONEYBUN, that is YOU!!!" I started crying.. I can really tell that I have lost some weight, a LOT of it in fact, and it took a picture for me to SEE it! I had happy tears of course! i promised a pic, its not a good one, but one that you can tell i am 55 POUNDS DOWn!!!! YAY me!!

Proud Mommy

Today was the awards day at school. My son, Cody, got 5(!) awards, I am soo proud of him. He got the 1 for highest grade in Reading, highest grade in Math, highest grade in Language Arts, got one for having all A's all year, and got 1 for most academic! I am so super proud of him. He also got put in Horizons, which if you went to school where I attended, it was LIFT at the time. I try to encourage my kids to always do their best, and its showing in cody, sometimes I don't think Tiff quite understands and I get very discouraged with her QUICKLY!!(she's 11)

I was having a happy moment and thought I'd share it!

Have a GREAT week!!

Lil Ray of Sunshine

After a LONG depressing 2 MONTHS! I have Finally lost some weight. I have had to get my thoughts together and realize what I've been doing and not doing. I had been eating properly, but I realized that I was only exercising like 2 days a week.. Thats NOT going to cut it! So... I started exercising 5 days (or 6) a week and I have dropped another 6 pounds this week! Yes, Leigh, You DO have to exercise, to do this!!! I have my surgery in about 2 months and I really want to get at least 20 more pounds off, yes it is attainable, and YES i can do it!! I really got my motivation back after I lost a pound or 2. But, now I am determined!
Does anyone have any problems trying to find something that you CAN and WANT to eat, once you've changed your eating habits. Grocery shopping has because a pain in the BUTT for me! Nothing sounds good, can't have that, etc. I will post a new pic of me soon. (gotta buy some fitting clothes) ha ha!

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support! I couldn't have done it with out you.
