Oh thanks for the prayers and thoughts regarding my shoulder, I am doing much better. Not quite moving it like normal and range of motion is still sporadic but I don't have to use the sling in the house anymore. I am ok here, LOL so far.

I took a new picture today. It's not great but it's a start over pic. Will see if niece can take better ones tonight.

Well it is later and I fell asleep, I guess I did a little too much today and shoulder started rebelling. LOL Well I ate kind of late so Lunch wasn't an option. I just woke up a few minutes ago. Think I will have a salad with some chicken. Not sure about dinner right now Will update and put in better format later.

OK The Real Deal..................

The Real Happening of the Shoulder incident.

A lesson on my prayers........ LOL I went to my ex's place to listen to him about my youngest daughter and then let him know she doesn't want to live with him anymore. So on my way I prayed that God keep my mouth in Check. The thing I forgot to pray about was my attitude and actions. LOL

Well he started cussing her and I told him that wasn't necessary and that she was moving back to my dad's place. Well then he proceeded to kick me out of his place. That was fine. If I had just stayed out, but my daughter was still in there and he was still cussing her, so I opened the Apt door and told her to come on, and he slammed the door in my face. I then Opened it again and he pushed me in my face out the doorway, before he could shut the door again I SLAPPED the SLOP out of him as hard as I could. (now remember I am not a fighter really) He proceeded to try to grab me by my hair and pull me in the top of my hair is too short to grab so he got me by my Tail and pulled me in i think i hit him again and tried to grab at him. I got a hold of his shorts as he slammed me to the ground. I don't remember if he was hitting me or just trying to like crush me or what. He eventually got off of me and threw me out of the Apt again. I stayed out that time and called for a sheriff escort to get my daughters stuff out of the Apt. My Middle daughter was in there with the youngest so I was concerned but not as much as I was P***ed Off. I was so messed up that I gave the sheriff the wrong address even though I was reading it. So it took them longer than I hoped. The kids came out the youngest crying. The sheriff didn't show and He had left so I left also. While I was waiting for them my shoulder started getting sore. And eventually couldn't hardly move it. I went to the ER and they said (after 6 1/2 hours of waiting) that I separated the ligaments between my clavicle and my shoulder blade. Nothing fractured and nothing out of socket. That's good. Unfortunately for Him (the Ex) They (ER) required me to file a sheriff Report. And I found out He has a warrant. OOPS on him. I haven't completed the report yet I am trying to give him a little time to finish some stuff, but I am gonna finish it tomorrow when I get home. Yesterday wasn't a good day cause I was out of it most of the day. And Today I am at my niece's place.

Well I am in a sling for comfort and pain pills (darvacet.....Good Stuff) every 4 hours as needed. I went like 16 hours without meds today but I am paying for it now. :( a little more pain/sore then I would care to be feeling.

So that is the scoop on the shoulder situation. Not sure if anyone will read this. It feels a little better getting it out in the open at my pace. Now I can keep going. Just move on, with things. Oh Yeah I am officially DONE with Him. FOREVER

Thanks for the support everyone.

Catch Up.........................

This is a paste from my other blog I had to move to. Don't know what hapened to this one for a while. But I am glad I didn't lose it forever..........



OK and now for the Catch Up On Shorty G.................

OK I haven't the faintest idea what happened to my other spot. The blog world said I was tagged for spam and I had so many days to let them know it wasn't. Wel I dont think I made the deadline. Or they didn't believe me or something.

Well as of 2 1/2 weeks ago. I weighed in at 214.2 Ths isn't bad but I am a LITTLE upset at myself. I haven't been eating right or exercising, but I was holding my own betweet 212 and 213, but 214 is NOT EVEN Funny.

Well after having Pneumonia and being busier the Bill Gates I am going back to workout 2 days a week. I am on Vacation for 4 more weeks and I figure I can lose something while the kids are gone. I am trying now to pick ok stuff to eat. Not much choice I have but I am making the best out of what I have.

I appreciate those who have looked for me, and I apologize for being gone so long. But I am back. I will be checking in at least 2 times per week and weighing in at least once a week. I will keep you all posted on my progress.

Love U All, As Christ has Loved me.................UNCONDITIONALLY..............

Shorty G AKA Sherri G

It's Finally Ready......... The Prayer Blog.... & a little about me...

OK everyone. I havn't been posting like I said I was going to. I am Truly Sorry. I Have been busy with a death close to me & getting this Prayer Blogg up and running. Well It is going very slowly so far, but It is up and running.

Dieting has been going ok. Depending on how much Water I take in depends on what I weigh. Been bouncing between 3 lbs. But it is cool. I am getting Closer with God and realizing That He is everything. What I eat, My Attitude on how I see things and My All. This I think will push me more to keep up with the healthier eating.


For those interested I have the Prayer Blogg up and running. The addy is http://godsprayercloset.blogspot.com Come check it out and see what you think. It is a little different that "I" had originally planned on it being. But this is the direction God has led me in so Away We (God & I) Go.

I hope whoever stops by, is Blessed by what you find and the peace of God that is there.

I Love U ALL as Christ has Loved me,

Shorty G

NO I have NOT fallen off the face of the NS WORLD................LOL

Ok , OK I know I haven't blogged in a while and I am Sooooooooooooo sorry. I was doing my own thing I guess. Been unfocused for a while now. I think it was when I realized I couldn't afford the NS food anymore. I just kind of said well forget it. I mean not out loud or anything, but my attitude basically said that.

Today March 19, 2006 I have gotten back on the wagon and done total good eating for the day.

I have made fairly ok choices while being off the wagon, but tired of feeling guilty and icky because I know what I need to do.

So, a little update I have done some self evaluation lately. I have realized the God is the center of my life (that I knew before), but I have a hard time giving Him the control of my life. I mean I have had to do for me an mine for so long that I have had the control. I know God has been there and had some control. I mean the control I allowed Him to have. But that was never TOTAL control. I realized that I an scared to give up total control of my life. I also know that until I do, God can not do in my life what He truly wants to do.

Well Spending more time with Him and less time doing everything in the world is what I am working on doing on a minutely, hourly, daily basis.

Knowing that My relationship with God is not one that is gonna hurt me in any way. Knowing and holding on to the remembrance that God does nothing but Love me Unconditionally. I mean all of this is something I know and have known for most of my life but just don't do. Most of the time things we say are easier said than actually done. Whether we know it is better for us or not. SO now I truly keep updated on this blog for accountability to my life and my weight loss. And NO messing around anymore.

Today I had no breakfast (pursae {okI cant spell}), at 2 PM I had NS scrambled eggs, cabbage and a string cheese stick. Around 7 pm (after a much needed nap) I had an orange and a string cheese stick. Around 10 PM was dinner; NS Spinach & cheese ravioli, Salad w/ LF Raspberry Balsamic vinaigrette , at least 2 veggies (probably close to 3) and unsweetened apple sauce. Water wasn't the greatest, but that is coming along better also.

Well it is after Midnight on Monday AM and I am finally getting sleepy. So I better go for now.

I am so sorry for being gone so long from all of my friends that I know stand behind me daily. I am baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. LOL and ready to Fight for what I want DAILY.

Love U all and Hope everyone has a good one.

PS: I talked a couple of months ago about starting a Prayer Blog. I am almost ready to post the link for that blog. I am conferring with someone else about this blog. As soon as I have it running I will post the link so those that want to may visit.

God Bless U All

Update Later on today........

The Week and Days since Posting Last.......

Well since my last post, I have been fairly good. I mean not making totally good choices but not bad ones either really I don't think. I mean the weight has been holding its own. Today's weight, 207.6. I will definitely take it. LOL That is awesome. I am 1.2 Lbs away from being 20 Lbs down. I am LOVING this.

Well I started new again today. One more time of starting in the past couple of weeks. Let's see how far this one goes. Think I will shoot for the suggestion left by Emily for Amanda in here last post. That was a 14 day run. Just 14 days of eating right, well the exercise and stuff goes in there too. But just 14 days, 2 short weeks. I think I can do 2 weeks of Eating, Water and Exercise. Well I think I can. One Minute, One Hour, One Day at a time.

I have already started today off right. NS pancakes mixed w/ apple sauce instead of water, string cheese and 1 TBSP of reduced sugar Strawberry Jelly (or fruit spread, like it says on the bottle). LOL It's almost a "free" only 20 cals for 1 TBSP. LOL LOL I know not quite right??

Well on the Boy Friend front. I broke up with him. Some will understand me when I say we were not on the same or even close to the same level Spiritually. And I couldn't do it. We were together for just at a month (or just under a month) but it hurt like we had been together for years. Well I have moved on and am just living life as it comes and as God gives it to me. That is the safest way to do it now.

Well I guess that is about it for now. I will try really hard to remember to come update each day of what I eat and how much water intake I have and exercise I do. Ok this is only 2 weeks, I CAN DO THIS!!!!!! REALLY!!!! LOL LOL LOL

Well You all Take Care, and God Bless. My Prayers to all.

Another day of rest and blog hopping

This was cute I got it from Jen (doinitforme) .

You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How'>http://www.blogthings.com/howboyishorgirlishareyouquiz/">How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

So how girlish & boyish are you??

Update on my progress also while I am here.

No exercise this week. Knee is barely holding me up, so decided to give it a rest. Weight is up a little. 209.2 yesterday but I haven't been good about my water of food lately either. I am back ontrack as of last night. A Jacks Urban Eatery (not Jack In The Box) large salad with Roasted chicken, Mashed potatoes & little gravy and brussell Sprouts. GOOD STUFF!!! Especially the mashed potatoes. LOL I know they blew the whole meal calorie wise, but they WERE Good.

Back to exercise on Saturday. Well gonna end this for now. Thanks to all who have been stopping by and leaving comments.

Love U all
Shorty G AKA Sherri G

Just seems like another day...........

OK I posted last time about my new TAT and my friend.

I got a lot of comments about the tat and thanks for the advice and the comments. Also just as many asking about my friend. Well here goes.

I met him through Yahoo Personals. He found me and I responded. We me that night and I realized He was a sweetheart. That was on Saturday January 28, 2006. On Wednesday or Thursday He asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes. It has been so long since I have had a boyfriend it isn't even funny.

Well we were inseparable the first couple of weeks. I had Church stuff to deal with so I came to stay at my dad's place. I think Charles is having withdrawals though. He sounds so lonely. :( Poor Guy. I just don't have the gas to run back and forth to the other side of town all the time.
I know that sounds bad. :(

Next subject: LOL
Weight Loss/Measurements
Well I started January at 211 lbs, my measurements on January 3rd were; Bust: 49.5 Waist: 47 Hips: 52 Thighs: 30 Biceps: 13.5 & Neck: 16.25

Month ending (January) I weighed 208 lbs and My measurement on February 11th were Bust: 47.5 Waist: 46 Hips: 50 Thighs: 28 Biceps: 13. & Neck: 16.25. I was kind of bummed at the end of January cause I didn't make my weight loss goal, but I also knew that I hadn't really been 100% or even close to it. So I wasn't really trippin too bad. When I went to workout this past Saturday after the torture My trainer did the current months measurements. I was stoked then and so was he. I know it was from using the wetsuit during the day and also to workout in. He told me that Inches would come off faster than weight with the suit. I am way happy now.

Well the rest of my life is going pretty good. Seem a little Lost from God Lately not sure what that is. Just a strange Shift in the spiritual World. Or could just be me. I never know, But I do know I have heard others talking about things being different also. So maybe it isn't just me.

Well I still haven't gotten the blogg up for prayer and prayer requests. I really want to devote a whole day or definitely quiet time for. I really want this place to be God's. And be Blessed by Him.

Well I guess I have gone on long enough.

Love U all and Hope to hear from you all soon. Ok I am still trying to figure out how to get in touch with some. Like Becca and I know Edith was having Troll troubles also. I have her email though. I hope Becca stops by and emails me so I can email her. OK Becca email me girl. shortyg1964@gmail.com

I am Outtie All, Have a good one and God Bless

Ok I Have Finally Done IT....................

For the past 4 years or so I have talked about getting a tattoo. Wasn't sure what I wanted and was more scared that it would HURT majorly. (yep, you guessed it....I have NO pain TOLERANCE!!!). Well 2 of my kids went to get tattoos done on them last week and I started thinking about it again. I started playing with some sketches. Hearts and crosses are my collector things. What I really Like. So I started with one heart and made it into 2 hearts that linked together. Then I played around with the initials and where to put them. I have 3 girls of my own and One daughter that has adopted me. So I was debating on whether to include her initials in the design or not.

Well I made an appointment for yesterday and went. The final design is 2 hearts that link together. My oldest daughter's initial "PAG" is in the far left heart (if u r facing me), My middle daughter "ANG" is in the linked part, and my youngest daughter "JGG" is in the far right heart.

Well OK here is the Pic of it.

OK a decent shot this is it.

Up Close and Personal


It didn't hurt HALF as bad as I thought it was going to. Felt like a razor blade during the outline part. (that is the initial drawing part). For the most part the rest of the color in was numb. It looks good and is on my mid right thigh. Just low enough to be ok and just high enough to be covered up by my shorts during summer.

Ok that is all for that right now. I may think about getting ONE more. My Youngest got a heart with Jesus Name through it and colored in red. It looks way cool I may get that one next and last. Not sure............

On the diet point of view. I am doing pretty good. I am down to 209.8 as of today.

Haven't been real good with the eating part and almost nonexistent on the exercise, but I am still losing and I am ok with that. Started back kind of today. Well one meal at a time huh??

Thanks for bearing with me and not blogging lately.

I met someone last week and we have been seeing each other everyday since a week ago Last Saturday.

Well off to start cleaning up again............Talk again soon

Shorty G............ AKA ..............Sherri G

BLOGG MALFUNCTION..................

Ok yesterdays blogg is just not cooperating (pics won't load) so I figured I would link my photo place to this blogg and update on my food so far today.

Photo Blogg is just a bunch of pics that I have and decided I would keep in a separate Spot.

My food update is because I keep forgetting ALL of my food. Hence my cravings lately, so Everyday I post here what I put in my mouth to eat.

Today so far was......
Breakfast:

NutriCinnamon Crunch Cereal
1 C soy milk
1 3/4 string cheese
2 slices apple & 1/2 an orange

I am planning on Cream of Broccoli soup, Salad and String cheese for lunch. Will update the real thing later.

When I post yesterdays finally it will update on the rest of my life up to yesterday afternoon.

No weighing today. LOL The scale is at my house now.........LOL Gonna be there a lot for a couple of weeks so I took it that way. (of course it is always where I am not............LOL)

I have a luncheon to go to after service today so I am not sure what I will be eating or even if I am gonna go. I don't eat very well at those. Not always good choices to eat.

Well gonna close this for now. Update later this afternoon.

God Bless

The Real Comparison...........

OK.......... The Real Comparison Pics







This first pic is the one from November 16, 2004 @ 232 Lbs

I by chance found this First pic in a old file on my computer at home. This is a real comparison of where I was my highest weight.


















The Middle Pic here is from November 2005 @ 214 lbs.
About a month and a half after I started NS.


















This one is the most recent one from January 19, 2006 @ 209 lbs.










Onto things I have been dealing with...................

I want a change but not sure what kind of change. Not sure if I want to cut my hair, or get it trimmed or what. Next set of clothes I buy I want to change my image I think. But as Bob said, and I also am gulity of. I have NO fashion sense. Jeans and tshirts for me most of my life or sweats. Any pic you see me in where I am dressed has come from years of my Oldest daughter dressing me. Or telling me what I should wear. LOL Nothing like your kid dressing you. LOL She has been doing that for over 10 years now.

I ask my niece now when I am not sure. OK enough of my NonFashion sense.

LOL
food is going ok lately. Not too bad, I am at 211 today. I was almost ontrack today til the Ice Cream Called my name at lunchtime. But I did good and stuck to right around 1/2 cup and put the rest back in freezer. LOL ok so i stil have my salad and protein from Linch and my snack and dinner to eat still. Oh Yeah and my dessert , Cant forget that.

I talked to a counselor today and figured out that I haven't been consistent on all of my food. I need to start recording everything I eat again. I have been skipping my snack and dessert, hence the cravings I have been having. DUHHHHHHHH

Well nothing like starting what I need to right away.

Breakfast:
NutriCinnamon Cereal
1 C Soy Milk
1 string Cheese
1 Orange

Lunch:
1/2 Can Chicken Soup
1/2 C Ice Cream...........OK I know Not diet Material. But At least I claimed it.

Snack:
1 String Cheese
8 Globe Grapes

Update on Dinner and Dessert later................


OK Well All I guess I have written enough for now. Will update after dessert.

Thanks for stopping by and God Bless.

Shorty G AKA Sherri G

PS: I am being led to start another blogg page for Prayers and Prayer Requests. I will have this blog linked from here and any and all are welcome to leave Prayer Requests and Praise Reports there. Update on this later this weekend.

Shorty G †

OK Update REALLY LATE:

Dinner:
Spinach & cheese Ravioli
Salad w/ ff italian
Cabbage

Dessert: :( I fell asleep again

The original time post is when I started this thing. It JUST started cooperating at 2 AM on Thursday Morning. I totally think it was BLOGGER malfunction..........LOL

Comparison Pics Finally. LOL

Ok I figured I would take comparison Pics already. Things are just fitting differently. It didn't take so many shots to get this one. Only 5 this time to get this 1, compared to the 24 last time to get 4. My niece was looking at these and noticed I have acquired a NECK since the last set of pics. LOL

The one on the left is from November 3, 2005 @ 214.6 Lbs. The one on the right is from last night January 19, 2006 @ 209.8 Lbs

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well I have been doing ok with everything else. Food is weird a little still, BUT NOT half as bad, water and exercise is going ok too.

Yesterday was basically not really on plan, but I still lost and I am at a new low for the time being. 209.8 Showed up. WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I haven't seen even 209 for quite a while. Like almost a year now I think. Well exercise is going to be interesting. My trainer is going to be out for a while. :(( I am so messed up right now. SO back I go to just doing my legs and my Walking video. No abs for who knows how long. I just cant push myself on the different Ab exercises he does with me. I just pray He isn't gone too long.

I got a wet suit this past weekend. I am using it as a sweatsuit though. Working good I think.

Well I am gonna end this one fairly quick before I ramble on. LOL LOL

Love U all and thanks for stopping by.

Shorty G AKA Sherri G

PS: Weight Update soon. Almost weigh in time..............

ITS NOT MONDAY!!!!!!

I am so messed up. LOL a 3 day weekend and I get all turned around.

Well the food for today was:

BREAKFAST:
Nurticinnimon crunch
1c soy milk

LUNCH:
top ramen

DINNER:
1 1/2 c chicken chow fun
2 c wonton soup w/ onions & celery
2 c steamed broccoli
2 slices cantaloupe
salad w/ ff italian

AFTER DINNER:
2 oz baked pork loin
1 orange
1 slice cantalopue

OK, I know I didn't eat much during the day and seemed to pig out later. Well except the chow fun and wonton soup I think the choices were ok. kind of made up for all I didn't eat earlier. LOL and I still forgot dessert.

Exercise went ok. My trainer was at a Kings game last night so I worked my legs and went home. Was gonna do my walking video when I got here but that didn't happen.

I am gonna walk today though.

Not sure what else to put here............ LOL So much jumping off lately.

New weight goals are to lose 35 lbs by the end of the Under Construction Challenge. That will put me at 175 by June end. I am WAY cool with that. It equals out to about 5 lbs a month. Which is very doable. ONEDERLAND HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!! LOL

I know I never did write down my resolutions or my goals for the year. I plan on doing that this week and having it posted by next Monday I Hope. Please bug me about this if I dont.

I kow a few so far, Like losing at least 5 lbs a month for the year. (if I can do that I will have lost 50 lbs for the year) Another one is to stick with workout. My trainer & I were talking, If my knee tries to blow, then we will just tape the puppy and ease up a little for a while. I dont think that is gonna happen though.


Well this is actually ending on Wednesday Morning so I am gonna end this now and Update food and exercise tonight (Wednesday).

Have a good one all and Hey what is going on with the Meeting Plan?? Are we still planning that?? I really Hope so. WOuld be nice to put physical faces to all of these bloggs. Please let me know how things are going with that. Also let me know if you all need help with that planning.

God Bless U all

FRUSTRATION..................

Ok well I don't even know what to call this post............. Frustration I guess. LOL OK that is it FRUSTRATION...................

I am so frustrated today. I mean there are good things going on in my life also but, today is just one of those days.

First the frustration then the rest of my life. I get up and since today is Wednesday and I Minister on the Sound Board today. I get myself and my Gr Niece dressed and ready to go. So we get to the car and are getting in and I realize that my middle daughter forgot to put the car seat back in the back seat when she used the car the other night. Ok I think it is in the trunk. Now I am already running a little late, but it will be ok. Just get the car seat in and buckled in (lucky for me the clip is still on the seat belt). So I Pop the trunk and NO CAR SEAT!!!!!!!!! NO WHERE in there. I looked in the back seat again just to make sure it wasn't on the other side upside down or something. NOPE NOT THERE!!!!!!!!! OK just call my daughter and she will let me know where she put it............ But her being the NIGHT OWL she was bred with (I swear). She is not answering her phone, and neither is her boyfriend. GRRRRRRRRR Well I thought maybe she put it in the garage the night she used the car..............NOPE not there either........ OK 4 calls to her back to back HOPING she will wake up...........NOPE on that count too. So I go back in the house and now have to call church and see if the Associate Pastor can run the Sound Board for me as I can not leave the house. At least not in the car. LOL (Lucky No Emergency Has Happened that I HAVE to GO somewhere.) So I left her a SERIOUSLY not nice message (no cussing but Just short of it). So now I am here and Little i am not sure if conscientiously tries to drive me NUTS today. It is rainy and yucky out and not a good day to go outside. So now I sit with my Christian music on and she has had lunch and is now napping. Thank You Lord!!!! LOL

OK for the rest of my life. I am not sure when I blogged last so an update from last Thursday. Thursday was My Youngest daughters Bday. She was 17. I was online that evening in a Yahoo chat room and met someone in the room. We talked for a while and he asked me for my number. Suprisingly I gave it to him. He said he would call me the next day after he got off work. I thought yeah right probably like the others and will never call. LOL

A bigger surprise came Friday around 12:45 PM, I got a phone call from him. We talked on the phone for about half an hour. That was cool. He almost hung up though at first. I forgot to let him know my voice was low. Sometimes I sound like a guy on the phone. I have had guys not talk to me because I sounded the way I did and they didn't believe I was who I said I was. LOL Ok so back to my friend........... LOL.......... We have talked on the phone everyday since Friday. :-D He is from India, but lives here in San Jose, CA. It is a miracle LOL someone that wants to talk to me that is actually in the US an a PLUS he is in the state and fairly close by. We are meeting this coming Monday. We are driving half way to meet. So neither of us has too far to drive. We are going to go to lunch (yes I will be good in eating) and then a movie. I am so excited to meet him. I really hope this turns out to be a cool friendship. I really need to see that there are men out there interested in me (and not having other motives for being interested) for me.

On the diet front. I am in 2 different challenges right now. I feel like I am going crazy trying to keep up with both. The hardest one of the 2 is the 100% challenge. I just have a hard time being 100% in everything. Food, Water and Exercise. I only made 4 days since Jan 4th start date. Not too bad but not great either. On the Under Construction Challenge I am doing ok, but I haven't been to the site and commented to anyone lately. I am TRULY sorry ALL. I am thinking about backing out of the 100% challenge. i just cant keep up with so much. And I can stay as best 100% with you all.

I weighed in yesterday and was at 210.4 lbs. The weight is slowly coming off. My workout got more intense last week. And stupid me I missed last night for the Abs.....DOHHHHHHHHH I got my legs in but not Abs. So I go back on Thursday and Saturday. DEFINITELY.

Well think I am gonna close this for now and stay consistent with blogging here and linking it to the Under Construction Site. I love that group. :)

Well you all have a good one & God Bless

A crazy day......................

Today is a little crazy so far. I have my Gr. Nephew home sick again and had an IEP for my youngest daughter at her school. It is also her BDay. She turned (or should I say MADE IT to) 17. She is a sweet heart though. I had some cupcakes (store bought, [By my dad that way I didn't have to go in that dept.]). and then had to Come back to the house where my nephew has been almost all day by himself. I am here for about an hour and a half and then to my dad's house for cake & Ice Cream ( well at least they will have that NO NO stuff, and I also didn't have to buy that one........LOL) and then back on this side of town to my niece's again, and to top off the night I go back to my torture place to workout tonight. For my weight update. Yesterday I was at 214.2. The was the first day of the 100 day 100% challenge that I am in. alsong with the 4th day for the 6 month challenge that I joined also. Today I was so stoked when I stepped on the scale. I was down to 212.2. That was awesome. 100% food & water. Exercise was a rest day. Sop far today I have been 100%. Haven't started the water yet but I am going to now.

I guess that is about it for the catching up.

Love U all and Hope everyone is doing GREAT!!!!!!
