Going to try it again...

Maybe I ate way too much at lunch...maybe my jeans are getting toooo tight...maybe I'm just having a yuck day...but I need to LOSE weight...again! I just went back and looked at my past blogs. I had made it to 13 weeks and my last post was a gain of 6 little stupid ounces. The week before, I had a total weight loss of 17.4 lbs!!! Now...guess what...I have gained every single, stinking pound back! I told myself that I wasn't going to do it and I did it. I gave in to food...again!

I have been really stressed this summer. To be honest, bills are just about to get the best of me!!! My husband and I have separate checking account and separate bills....and I am about to go crazy. Our fertilizer season has slowed down tremendously, and I don't know if I have mentioned, but I took a second job at my in-laws local grocery store. I only work on the days my kids are at their Dad's, and I do love being in the public, seeing old familiar faces. So, anyways, I thought this would give me some "me" money. But, it ends up going to another bill or gas or groceries...but not "me". So, I got tired of stressing over money and stressing over food...so I dropped the diet! One less thing to stress over, right?!?!

So...now what...the bills are a little better, and I'm not quite as stressed over them as I was..so, do I dare start another diet, or way of life or whatever you call it...hahaha. Am I going to be able to do it, am I going to be able to stick to it?? I won't know until I try...so now, what should be my first day, tomorrow or Monday. I'm thinking it might as well be tomorrow...wish me luck again!! If you have ANY suggestions, criticism, advice...give it to me!!!

Jamie's Blog

Hey Everyone!! Jamie asked me to send out a message to let everyone that she is still blogging. For some reason, it is showing that her last blog was 2 weeks ago! Not sure why it's not updating her blog status! If anyone has any tips, let her know! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Fun Day with the kids....

On Monday, my Mama had a doctor's appointment in Greenville, so I decided to take the day off and spend with my kids! CJ was working and the boys were at the beach. So, after breakfast, we headed to Roanoke Rapids. We stopped by JCPenney's to return a skirt, and the kids picked out a new book bag for school. We then headed to Rack Room Shoes to pick out school shoes. After all of the fun in the shoe store, we went to Little Caesar's to pick up a couple of pizzas and headed to the park. The kids had a great time even though it was super hot! We decided that it was so hot that we needed a frosty! So, we made a quick stop at Wendy's and then headed home. It was nice to come home to the AC!!! Camryn, Logan and Alyssa at The Roanoke River Canal.
