I hope everyone has taken time to say thank you and pay respect to all of our incredible past/present military men/women. We are a truly incredible Country. I had mentioned travismills.org earlier in a post. He lost both arms and legs in Afghanistan recently. You just have to go to his page and look at the incredible progress he has made. There are a couple of new videos that will totally warm your heart and make you smile.
We went to visit my Dad's grave today. I don't really like to go there, I don't feel like he is there, and I had almost convinced myself not to go, when my husband drove there anyway. He always knows what I really need and puts up with my yes/no, yes/no on every decision. We were able to buy a beautiful flower bowl and I got to sit with my Dad for a bit. He was such an amazing fun, funny, successful man:) I like to think that we have the same personality, but then I am patting myself on the back...and that's not good right? ;) He loved to laugh as much as I do.

I have been a carb overloader lately and I also have not done Zumba for almost 2 weeks. I am actually excited to go back on Wednesday and have the instructor that is "wimpy" because I will need wimpy after sitting for 2 weeks:) The beauty of the BFC is that I can jump right back in and I never feel bummed that I have to cut back. I feel happy when I start back up. We had pizza and garlic bread last night, go figure the scale was up this morning:) And I did pile all the toppings on a couple of pieces, but it was a large pizza, and I ate my weight in garlic bread! Dipped in ranch...Yikes!!! That's OK, that's alright, stay in there and FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Oh brother...that was dumb:)
Have a great week, believe you can succeed, and may all of your hopes and dreams come true! And like Jeri said, I wish you JOY:)
Blessings and happy scales!
You are so wonderful Kay- I can't wait until I meet you and can put your words with a voice! I probably have the wrong one, so I'm going to be all confused when I hear it, but I swear when you write I can hear you talk. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a great weekend, I sure did.
:)
I'm glad you had a god day today and don't worry about the carbs. After zumba you won't remember.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day :-)
I'm glad you went to visit your Dad. I know what you mean about it feeling like the person is not actually there. It helps us to stop and reflect though, which is good for us. My husband and I went to a Memorial Day function, which was really nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Kay!
ReplyDeleteYes - I did see baby Jesus in the manager in the picture - so cool!
Sounds like you had a great day - thanks for sharing a little bit about your daddy with us - he sounds like he was a WONDERFUL man!!
I know what you mean - sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do - and that's also what I LOVE about the BFC - it's always right there waiting for us to come back to it!
Yeah for Zumba this coming Wednesday - Have fun!!
Kay,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to spend Memorial day - visiting your dad. I think that sale of your moms stuff brought up a lot of good memories of your dad and how much he meant to you.
As for your carbs... you have a way of not letting them get the best of you by getting right back on track after a little binge. Hope you have a great week too!
