One down

Well I did it... I completed one holiday event with only a few tears but alot of happy memories. As you have probably read before my holidays are jammed packed with events. Thanksgiving, Christmas Parades, Dinners, Parties, Christmas lights, etc.
Thanksgiving is now complete I did it with the help of my sister in law (lm). I am glad she was there to help me get all the food ready. I am usually a do it yourself type, but this year I opened my kitchen to help. It was GREAT!!!
Next event is tomorrow night THE CHRISTMAS PARADE! We are driving our hot rods in the town christmas parade and our entry name is EAGLE HOTT RODZ HELPING SANTA DELIVERING TOYS TO ALL GOOD GIRLS AND BOYS. My husband has been working very hard to get the hot rods ready.
This coming sunday it is my turn to host my mother in laws family in their annual white elephant christmas or chinese christmas it is very fun and almost everyone that is coming has never been to my home before and I am very excited about that. But I have to take down the fall decor and put up the christmas decor.
then the 2 more parades and the christmas at my mother in laws and then christmas at my dad's house and christmas at my grandma's then I am thinking of hosting a New Years Eve Party then I gotta get everything at the office closed out and all the 2009 stuff ready. OMG how am I gonna get it all done. One day at a time that's how.
So tomorrow I am going to go to the office early and then after I drop CRE off at school I am going to start my new aerobic session and then head to the office and work until noon and then get the rest of the things I need for the parade and get CRE and be in line and smiling as I drive my miss pep down the street waving and remembering why I am thankful. I am thankful for everything that me and re have and our family and friends and our home and business.
if i could i am gonna take a minute and talk about the diet. I haven't got to exercise and eat right in awhile because I have lost focus. I am not a loser but I do want to be a loser with this diet I want to lose 35 more lbs. I am going to lose that weight because I am going to get focused again starting now. 3 miles a day or more and then one to two exercise classes a day and the will power that I use to have. I have to remember that April 25 I am going to do a 5k Race and I am going to do it in the time that I have set for myself with hopefully family and friends by my side and also watching on the sidelines cheering me on. I CAN GET THROUGH ALL THE HOLIDAYS AND EVENTS THAT I HAVE PUT ON MY OWN PLATE. I do not fail. God is on my side and with his love I can do it.

Birthdays

Friday was my little boys (cre) 11th birthday. This weekend we took him to see the Oklahoma Sooners defeat Texas Tech. We sat on the 9th row of the south end zone and he took his best friend with him. He had a blast now he thinks this is going to be an every year event. From the time he could talk he has always said when I grow up I'm gonna play football for OU even though we are Razorback fans. He still looks OU. Now I must say being from Oklahoma myself I am a fan at heart as well.

The holidays are always the bestest time of year for me. For the past few years I have hosted Thanksgiving at my house and there are usually about 40 people total that I cook for. This year I am also hosting re's (my husband) step mom's family for what they call a white elephant christmas (men bring men gifts and ladies bring ladies gift then we play a little game to see who ends up with what.) there should be about 50 attending that. WOW! It is on Dec. 7th. So let's break it down on thanksgiving and the week after I am cooking a every large dinner for a lot of family. I love it though the stress gets to me right at the last minute but I love every minute if it. I love having family gatherings. It's not going to help the diet though.

The diet that is the whole reason I started this blog for support with a goal that I have set for myself. I have lost a total of 30 lbs. since Dec 1, 2007, but I'm now at a stand still not gaining and not losing either. On April 25, 2009 I am going to run in my first ever 5K Run. I am not a jogger, but I walk faster than most people jog so I'm told. I just need support.

So the reason for the blog is the let people know how I'm eating, sleeping, working, stressing, blah, blah, blah......If you have any comments please feel free, if you have any helpful pointers I would love to hear them.

Test!!!

will check then start tomorrow
