Everyone Likes Cuddles! (September 26, 2018)

Even though I haven't been posting it here, I have been weighing in each morning just to kind of keep myself on track.

When I weighed in this morning I was up a pound from yesterday.

I knew that I didn't really do anything to warrant that so I didn't let it bother me.

For lunch I made myself a delicious salad.

It's been a few days so I had to drop by after work to visit my Baby F.

She is so beautiful.

Just being with her makes this nana so happy.

I made kodiak pancakes, eggs and chicken breast for supper.

My Honey brought home about 4 dozen eggs so I'll be having them lots for the next little while.

My Honey wanted to do some real estate research when he got home but Paddington had other ideas.

Doesn't he look super cozy.

My Honey didn't have the heart to move him so this is how he spent his evening.

I saw this on Facebook and thought it would make a wonderful Christmas photo this year.

Such a cute idea.

Seeing all these Hobby Lobby jokes makes me realize that I am not the only one with a serious Hobby Lobby addiction.

That's a good thing 😁

No workout but I am still doing great with the food side of things so I am pleased.

That is all for today, until next time, be happy!

Life Can be Both Beautiful and Heartbreaking at the Same Time. (September 25, 2018)

So pleased to report that it was another nice sunny day out there today.

Lunch was another salad only this time I made if from scratch.

It was delicious if I do say so myself.

Yes, it is in a mixing bowl.

When I mix it up, I can't be bothered to dirty another bowl so I just eat it right out of there.

I really wanted to get out for a walk all day and take advantage of the lovely weather because who knows how long it will last.

I finally got out late in the afternoon and it was great.

Sunshine is so good for my soul.

 

When I got home after work, I posted a few things to the buy and sell.

This Kitchen Aid Meat grinder attachment was a hit.

I think I had about 7 responses immediately.

 

The pictures from the newborn photo shoot came back and I am in love with them.

Black and White pictures aren't my thing, I prefer color but hard not to love it with the subject matter.

Gorgeous.

OMG - I just love her little hands and fingers.

Darling.

While I think she looks gorgeous, this isn't my favorite pose.

Awe, mommy and baby - so sweet.

I still can't get over all that hair!

Now she is with her Daddy.

It is still hard for me to fathom that my boy is a dad.

It is a strange feeling, wonderful but strange!

How am I ever going to pick which ones I want to print off and hang up?

They are all great.

It's amazing how she gets the little ones to stay in these poses.

What a little lovey.

I think this was the sneak peek and I love it.

Awww, sleeping so peacefully, she looks like a little angel.

Those cheeks though!

She looks so content and peaceful.

My favorite - just look at those lips, I can't even!!!

The black and white version.

The new little family.

This one will be going on my wall for sure!

 

 

At the end of the day, I got a call from my Aunt and unfortunately she had bad news.

My cousins daughter who was a week overdue with her second baby went into labour last night and went to the hospital.

She was having a difficult delivery and they finally ended up doing a C-section.

 

Baby Kieven Ryan was born and he was perfect and healthy then he suddenly passed away and they don't know why.

They are devastated and I am so heart broken for them.

It's so hard to fathom that things like this still happen.

My Honey arrived home finally, felt like he was gone forever.

He brought home supper.

I skipped the fries and made mashed potatoes instead but I did have a chicken strip and gravy.

I cooked up some broccoli and cauliflower to go along with it.

Then we got some company.

He was so thrilled to see that My Honey was home.

He & I took a selfie together, either he doesn't quite get the concept or else (and this is more likely) he doesn't really care!!

Ha ha.

 

My brother had some mail to pick up from my place and one of them was a parcel.

 

It had these little flying gizmo things and Mr H had to get My Honey to help him with his, nobody else will do.

They light up - pretty cool.

We had to go outdoors immediately to give them a try.

 

He gathered up some water guns too but we convinced him that it wasn't really water gun weather.

 

The compromise was to go in and play Hide and Seek.

This is his hiding place.

Ha ha ha.

Then he kept shouting out

"I here, I here unner da chairs".

OMG - it was so funny.

 

After they went home, My Honey unpacked his stuff and Paddington decided this was going to be his new bed.

He was making himself very comfortable and making it clear that he wouldn't be leaving of his own accord.

 

I didn't get a work out in.

Maybe tomorrow.

 

That's all for today, until next time, be happy!

The Sun Came Back! (September 24, 2018)

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's back to work I go!

Weigh in Day for me.

261.4 lbs

I am headed in the right direction!

Lunch was another salad kit with a chicken breast up on top.

Yum Yum!

These are all the vitamins I take every day.

It really is a pain to open up every bottle each day so I remembered to bring the little plastic container to work with me this afternoon.

There, ready to go for the next 18 days.

I think this is going to be super handy.

Will you just look at that?

Not a bit of snow anywhere - this makes me so happy.

The sun was out in full strength today melting everything in it's path.

Our poor plants didn't fair well from the weather unfortunately.

 

After work, I changed and headed straight to the treadmill.

It's been such a long time.

I was getting a stitch in my side just from walking.

I walked for 20 minutes then I did incline for 20 minutes.

I upped it every minute until I got to level 10 then back down again.

After that, I just kept making little mini goals.

Like, I'll go until I hit 10 laps, then I'll go until I get 10,00 steps on my fitbit, then till the end of this song etc...

I ended up staying on for an hour and I felt really great about it.

Supper was a great big bowl full of leftovers.

I had cauliflower rice, stir fry and Mexican casserole.

It was a lot and I couldn't finish it.

 

After supper I ran myself a nice hot bath.

I planned on doing some reading but ended up scrolling through Social Media for an hour.

I did see some neat things though.

Definitely need to check this out.

The one on the top right is similar to what My Honey is making for me.

I just love this look.

Right?

Totally!

 

I look back now on pictures of me when I thought I was fat and I wonder what the heck I was thinking.

 

My cousin posted this old picture of my family on my fathers side.

We used to get together a lot but not so much after my Meme passed away.

It's kind of sad really.

I follow a lot of them on social media now so it is nice to keep caught up that way and see what is going on in their lives.

I'm in the front in the pink dress with the long white socks and black shoes (I'm making quite the face).

 

I learned that they found the body of the second fisherman that was missing so while it is sad news, hopefully it will provide some closure for the family.

It really is a reminder how much things can change in an instant and to always make sure the people you love know it because you just never know what is in store.

 

My Honey decided to stay with his folks for another night.

I miss him but I totally understand.

He said he booked a Christmas trip for us today but won't reveal all the details until Christmas.

Which is fine with me, I love a good surprise.

 

It's been awhile since I saw this much green on my Fitbit stats.

Feels good!

 

That is all for today, until next time, be happy!
