13 going on 30!!!
Good morning Buddies! Happy Monday!!
Hope you all had a happy and healthy weekend… Well…A few things to report on…
First of all…Last Wednesday I took my 13 year old niece to her first rock concert (Blue October) What an absolute riot she is! Truly…
She was so very excited and looked so very cute that it was hard not to catch her enthusiasm. We had a ball and I feel so incredibly blessed to have been able to take her. Her parents are pretty strict with her, and I had to beg them to let me take her, so I am glad they allowed me too…I don’t often get to experience the “Kid” thing, and it is always so delightful when I do…
She caught the guitar pick of the opening act “Yellow Card” and I think her shriek of delight could be heard three counties over… I had no idea 13 year old girls could screech so loud!
So, while I had an absolute blast with her, I will say, THANK GOD I don’t have a teenager!! WHEW…She wore me out…HAH… Really. She is a great girl. Very polite. A great student. On the honor roll and on a volley ball team…Outstanding child if I do say so myself! (Okay, so I am biased! SUE ME!!)
The next day I had to take her to school…SOOOOOO weird…She is currently attending my old Junior High. I have not stepped foot in there in over 20 years!!! It was WILD…I had to walk her into the office to sign in since she was coming in late… I definitely had some major flashbacks…Darn school looks EXACTLY the same, except everything was sooo much smaller then I remembered…Different looking at the halls at the age of 35 as opposed to 13…
So that was the major event of my week… Nothing much else to report…
Weight loss is still going. I recommitted today to my food journal and looking forward to it…I haven’t truly journaled in months! UGH… I have to admit what I have already known. I am just not successful without it…Every time I try to stop, I just don’t do as well, even if I “Think” I am doing everything right…So here we go again!!!!
I have been struggling to find a motivator of late… I have been missing a true motivator for a while now…A friend to keep me on track and accountable…Since Steve and I have separated, he has stopped going to workout with me…So I have kind of been on my own for many many months now…And, well, although I am ultimately responsible for my own motivation, I have sure missed having a good weight loss buddy…
Anyway…That’s what I am searching for now…That person that’s going to give me a swift kick in the rear when I don’t want to journal. Or work out. Or when I want to eat a cheeseburger…That daily reminder of why I am doing this… I need someone to remind me that I am aiming for complete and utter world domination here of hotness! HAH… Okay buddies. Take care of yourselves!!!
I would be happy to send you a daily ass kicking if you would like.
I’ve had the ‘when did this school get so small?’ moment too…don’t you love it?
How great that she caught a pick? You better watch out, you may have created a monster.
How awesome is that you had a good time with your neice!! Too cool!! Congrats on your weight loss!
I am so happy you are back around here! I missed you alot! I am gonna go see if I missed any blogs and ill message you!
