A fantastic week!

So I am on Twitter and I love it...especially on my new iphone! I have been able to update easily and not have to wait forever for the page to load like on my blackberry. And then I have my fav healthy people on there and the opinions and tips are great! Not only is Twitter helping me stay on track, so is the application My Fitness Pal.  This has been a life saver in food tracking and the ease of it makes tracking very slick. I can also track my cardio and strength training and water.  It has a friends area where you can hook up with other fitness pals and see what they are up to.  It lets you enter your weight and it gives you kudos for doing well.  At the end of the day I submit my daily tracker and it tells me what I would weigh in 5 weeks if I continue on that same eating track.  The whole thing is very sweet!

With these new ways and new tools, I have seen the scale drop!!! So tomorrow should be a good weigh in day!!!  :)  Stay tuned!

Tonight I am going to get some kale roasted for some snacks.  In the afternoons, I am dying for something to snack on so I think that would help me tremendously.  The other night we had roasted broccoli....YUM!  Next I will try roasted cauliflower! :)  Even my daughter loved the broccoli! 

Christmas time is hectic around my house.  Lots of family and lots of crafting! I think I have most of my crafting done, just a few little things.  I am excited to see every ones reactions when they open their gifts!!! I got my husband some snowshoes for hunting...speaking of hunting...so I have went with my husband coyote hunting.  This was the funniest thing I have ever done!  We are crouching, walking, quietly, sneaking up on them.  I am behind my husband who slowly turns around and signals me to crouch lower and to shush (like finger to lips shush).  I bust up laughing...I feel like a Elmer Fud cartoon!!!  He looks at me like I am crazy and motions "what?" I quietly tell him about Elmer Fud and he shakes his head and tells me again to shush.  LOL!  I can't stop laughing!!! Tears are rolling down my cheeks cause as we sneak up to where we will aim at the coyotes, all I can think about is "Rabbit season, Duck season, Rabbit season, Duck season"!!! HA!!!  Heck, no my dear hubby it is Coyote season!!!!  He hasn't taken me again since. 

Is everyday truly a good day???

This health journey I am on is definitely a roller coaster.  I would have to say the one thing I am blessed for is that I haven't gain any weight! LOL!  This week, I am seeing a difference on the scale which I haven't really seen in a long time.  Considering my obstacles, this is a good thing, a good day.  But really, can every day be this good?  I know good things happen every day and it our choice to see them or not, but can every day be giddy good?  Nope, I don't want to be unrealistic.  I want to share the bad things too.  Not just the good.  What is the point of blogging if your not honest.  I know that some use blogs to be someone their not or to "enhance" themselves.  I don't want to be that someone.  I want my blog to be real and so far I think it is!  I can be all jolly happy some days and some days I just want to take a hiatus from people and life.  Those days I want to be quiet.  Life is hard folks and by golly, share those too!!!  When I read blogs and read some of the difficulties people go through I relate more and feel good that others aren't perfect.  I can take what they say and take a deep breath and know I can move on too. I want to thank those people who keep it real...it is hard to admit defeat, but I think when admitting to it you are a winner.  The hardest thing in life to do is to admit when your wrong.  But you can then dust yourself off, it is out in the open and off your mind so that you can be winner. 

So I may not have had the success others have had but life is one step at a time and I have plenty of steps to go!  I will get there...through the good and the bad days.
