Wish me luck

LOL. We are going to celebrate the #2 birthday of the little tornado today.
In case I have not told you guys, my daughter was a holy terror when she hit
puberty. I was still a CPA then, and my cohorts dubbed her "hurricane
Susan" because of the disruptions she caused. She is 35 now, and just now
doing what many older teens do (college) Finally. Anyway, the whole town
calls Amber the "little tornado" *spawn of the hurricane*

We are going to go to padre island and have lunch, so I have already planned
my ONE giant onion ring, a grilled tuna sandwich (will only eat a bite or
two of the bread), cereal and fruit for breakfast, veggie soup and birthday
cake for my evening snack. And a bunch of running and swimming on the
beach.

Who says we cannot have it all?

I am having a major discussion with myself here. I am supposed to make
lifetime today. I have this new pair of size 10 jeans. They are so
fine.
They also weigh about a pound all by themselves.

My scale this morning says 159.5. My averages show 3 pounds lost since I
made goal. The official ww loss for the same time is .2 or some such. I
know if I go in my old cotton shorts outfit, I am going to weigh in
officially down 2 or 3. If I go in my new size 10 jeans everyone is
going
to see how thin I really am now, but I am most likely not going to show
my
actual loss.

Ah decisions decisions.... And thank goodness I get to make em instead
of
being flat up against the goal number and forced to wear the shorts.

I am sittin here about in tears. When that 159.5 showed up? I have not
been in the 50's on any scale since I was a teen. And the other day
grandbaby got inside one of those tube things at the park and would not
come
out, and I said to myself Hey, there are Kids that weigh what I do,
betcha I
can go get her. In I went. Lotsa room. Makes me dream of airplane
seats.
We both sat there and laughed like loons. I have a new life.

LOL!! I told a friend of mine who is bugging me to look for a man, that it
would have to be a man with some Real Character to appreciate my unique
qualities . She said they all love it, regardless. Huh.

You've done so well Lesanne. I played in one of those kids playgrounds
for the first time earlier this year. It does make you feel good
doesn't it? A whole new range of activities have opened up to me.

Anyway, congratulations on your new life and on reaching lifetime :-)

Swimming??? Swimming! I just turned on all the heat in this place.
I did walk to get the Sunday paper in shorts and was chilled for the 8
blocks. FALL IS HERE!

Enjoy your mini-vacation, birthday celebration.

Yeah, we did not stay on the beach too long, in the middle of the day like
that it is pretty hot and we didn't want to get sunburned. So here I am
back at home again, full of cake, ugh, I don't like this feeling AT ALL.
And I ate 2 giant onion rings. And instead of grilled fish, 3 big fried
shrimp, one fried oyster, a couple of big french fries and some cole slaw.
Can you say target points for the rest of the week????

Ow.

Betcha I am not 159 tomorrow.

I was going to not mention where the wind originated, how evil of you to
point that out.......

Oh, too hot, huh. (sympathy is not high on the wave lengths right

Oh, I will sympathize with the FRIED FOODS. You are entitled
occasionally. I can see you sticking to target and FLEX this week.
Good luck.
