Thankful Thursday-Blessed!

I love mornings where you wake up and feel completely over-flowed with how good things are....Thankfully today is Thursday so I can blog about it :)

Today I am thankful for:

• Continued changes in my body as I continue to lose weight- I'm down 14.5 lbs.  I have completely kicked my caffine addiction!  Hallajeah! I also had to change my pants twice this morning to be able to find something that fit well enough that I didn't look like I was wearing hammer pants....I'm so thankful to have that problem :)

• Thankful to have choices...I don't really want to say more about this one, but knowing that God has put me where I am for the time I'm here and loves me so much that he gives me a choice about doing things makes my heart overflow!  Perhaps someday soon I'll be able to blog a little about this one.

• I have the best husband- litterally mine is the best- don't care what you say mine is the best!  He loves me enough that he's willing to look at his life and make BIG changes to make our lives better.  I know he's going to be a great father some day. 

Well that's the high points today, but needless to say I'm in a great mood!  Hope you have a great day !

Thankful Thursday!

Yay!  It's Thursday again!  Which means that it's only one more day until we have a weekend.  I keep sitting back and realizing how lucky I really am to have the life I do and here's a couple of reasons why I'm Thankful this week :

• The seasons change here....sometimes multiple times in a day.  Last night it was super-hot when I got home and I was not looking forward to sitting in my house.   Well, I got to enjoy a wonderful rain storm which cooled everything off by about 30 degrees!  Along with the rainstorm came a beautiful rainbow :)

•  The other thing that is making life really good right now is success with weight-loss.  In the last 4 weeks I've lost 10.5 lbs!  I've been sticking to my program and the weight has been falling off.  The thing that I'm thankful for is that it really hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be!  I'm thankful that I'm not missing my old habits (soda and sugar!).  It makes me hopeful that I'll get to my goal and that I'll be able to be healthy during a pregnancy (sometime in the future.)  The other thing in this arenar that I'm proud of is that my hubby is sticking to his program and has lost over 65 lbs (he has another weigh-in today and I'm sure we'll have a firmer number).   He's a super-star!

Happy Friday Eve!

Thought I'd check in....

Blog posts are far and few between but I thought I'd check in....so you knew I was still here.  This month has seemed to go by quickly!  I've been working as usual but got to enjoy the holiday weekend which was nice.  We didn't do much but that's pretty typical for us.   We like to stick close to home. 

Grover (our oldest kitty) got his annual shots on Saturday.  He ended up having a reaction to one of the vaccines (was breathing shallow and had some diarreahea), so we went back to the vet.  They got him fixed up and on his way but very scary!  We're pet parents for sure and I could only imagine what it feels like when people have emergencies with a real kid...This was scary enough!

Other than that, Jesse and I continue working on weight loss.  He's doing great!  and I'm eeking along.  I've been doing some posts that I haven't published yet.  Mostly because I've started and failed at this so many times that I don't want to talk about it until I've done something significant.   We're hoping to have a potrait taken of us close to Christmas time that you can see the difference in is, but we'll have to see :)

Well- just thought I'd check in and leave something here...have a good day and thanks for reading along with me :)
