I DID IT!!!!!!!!!

-

Of all people, I never would have thought that I would be able to do it! When I started this I seriously had such horribly tempting cravings for anything and everything I saw but kept talking myself out of it! I am glad I did, but I do not EVER want to do this diet again. Lol. It was seriously like fasting (and Nicole knows my pain even moreso than I can feel!) I didn't eat except for in the morning yesterday and when I got home around 9:30 or 10ish last night and for 2 reasons because it was Music Dept fast day, and because the brown rice became unappealing to me lol! Oh wasn't it such a wonderful feeling eating that last bowl of cabbage soup (which was really good still) and then throwing the rest of it down the drain with a wild cry of delight and victory!


But needless to say I have completed the 7 day program! I kinda blew it this morning with rice cereal, but I am having a salad and diet coke for lunch and the soda is so sweet I almost can't drink it! And to think I normally drink sodas a few times a day!!! But anyway, I have lost a total of TEN pounds on this diet. I honestly did not think that it would work. I don't know how, I don't know where it went, and I don't know when it happened, but I have lost 10!!! I feel better, although tired and sore from Bekki beating me up. Now to hit the gym! Anyone want to go with me on Tues at 6 in the morning :P lol!!! Party poopers! (Is that a bad word???) Well Praise me Praise me! Lol jk, but I really am patting myself on the back that I finished this crazy diet! So now if you see me drop into a dead faint tonight serving at the banquet it is because I have eaten too much for lunch (one salad!)
The picture above is my lunch right now. I have a water bottle too that I am enjoying moreso than the soda. I shouldn't have even bought the soda!

Hahah! Wilson was keeping me safe! I never knew when a ball would come at my face next. But then again, Wilson kept misbehaving by moving directions that I did NOT tell him to go! Bad Wilson BAD Wilson! I think his color scares him! I mean come on the things glow in the dark yellow skin will do for a fellow... come on now

MY FAVORITE CRAYON!!! Lol Speaking of crayons, I drew the most amazing mosaic yesterday! I amazed my target child at the Children's Center where I do my observations! Lol She just stared... Hmmm it may be because I was supposed to be watching her draw. But the teacher showed me how to do it and it was just so so so much fun!! I took it home with me!! I'm so proud!

LOL!!!!!!! That's good stuff. I used to color with my Sunday school class. (And I must admit that I do take coloring books and crayons with me everytime I fly anywhere to keep me entertained).

Mhhmmm... I will never get old. I will forever love coloring. I will forever love eating cotton candy. I will forever love the fair. And the playground at the park. And. . .racquetball with a friend who is moving. So we will have to play raquetball across the states. Online maybe? LOL

What Day is it???

One of the reasons I HAD to write a new post was because if you would scroll down JUST a bit, there are 45+ comments on the last post!!! LOL so I figured why not write a new post and allow a more easily accessible comment view... Cuz you know my fingers were just getting so tired of scrolling all the way down to the bottom to see the newest comment! ridiculous!!! Anyway, have you ever woke up and wondered what am I doing up???? Who am I, where am I??? WHY??? Lol, well if you haven't one day you may. Today I woke up wondering why I couldn't see, and where I was and wanting to go back to bed. Lol "alas" (that was for Bekki) I found out the reason why. I had forgotten to take my contacts out last night (stupid right? But it does happen to the best of us) and they had decided during the night that they did NOT like my eyes. So I tried to rewet them and put them back into my eyes. But nooooo.... My right eye took it just fine, my left eye threw a fit. So here I was with a ...

Hallelujah From the Valley

A few months ago, a young lady from my school introduced the song below during chapel to the student body. If anyone has a right to sing these words, she does. As this young lady recently lost her mother in a long struggle with cancer. Loss is something none of us take well. No matter what it may be. Some losses seem small to others, but to the person who has lost, it is larger than life. Whether it be the loss of a parent, a sibling, any family member, a friend, a pet, a pastor, a job, a house the list goes on. We try to rationalize the situation... But, sadly, our finite minds cannot comprehend the reason the Lord decided to allow this pain into our lives. Many blame God for so many different reasons, but God knows how much you can bear, and how far He will allow. Job was tortured, torn, accused, cursed at, heartbroken, and yet he still uttered those words that we can't even begin to think in hard times "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the ...

Yet ANOTHER Eventful Weekend

Ok, so Friday was not so eventful. Other than everyone in the house was up around eightish...ish...ish. Lol. And then started cleaning.... and cleaned.. and packed and cleaned and packed. That was pretty much all we did all the way up until 10 something that night! (well... with a few breaks here and there). Then Saturday, we got up to the smell of my mom cooking and baking. I told Nicole it smelled like Thanksgiving in my house! We ended up having some close family friends over, the Jones family, the Sablan family, the Davis family and the Lee Jr family (lol Tiffany Randy and babies). The food was wonderful and the fellowship marvelous! Lol when Tiff got there I stole her newest addition, Ryan, he is SUCH a doll! And then took Baby Randy for awhile. It was so funny watching him crawl all over the place, and then go up to the dogs and get scared and try to get away as fast as he could! It was fun! Well they were all gone by about 5:30, and Bekki had told me that we wanted to meet at...
