I watched the Royal Wedding all morning.  I'm just about royal-ed out although I think every female wants to be a princess bride!  I had a red-letter day today...I fit into my jeans!  Still tighter than I would like however buttoned and zipped without a struggle.  Thank you N-H for Laura Kessel and Lighten Up.  Weigh-in tomorrow.  Hope to make the Captains game by 11:45 SO I'm going a bit early....They're giving away a no-hitter comerative card and the pitchers will be there to sign them!  My spouse and I both want one and season ticket holders can enter the gates 15 minutes early.  See you at the park if not at Slim N Fit...   

Two days of partial sunshine.  Can it be Ohio?  I can't wait for baseball weather.  Watching the Captains in my Browns football getup is tiring.  Would like short sleeves and jeans weather.  And if I continue to improve my health by lessening my weight gradually, I'll fit into my favorite jeans in time for warm weather.  I don't do shorts with my legs!  Hope to see most of you on Saturday at the weigh-in but not sticking around since we have a 1 o'clock Captains game on April 27.  See you at the ball park too maybe.    luv 2 all

Maundy Thursday for all you who observe it.  I can't believe Lent is over - - six weeks and it went by in a flash!  This is our lives folks!  Time flies when you're having fun and life is a kick most of the time.   Hope all is well and pace yourself with Easter chocolates everyone.  I have one piece a day and only bought myself 5 pieces - 170 calories each.  Believe me I savor each bite.    lol to all and have a blessed weekend.   

My!  How time flies when your're having fun.  I am really excited about all these 'April Showers' and looking forward to each and every day.  The Captains are playing and we're season ticket holders and have been since the park opened.  The dampness and cold kept us home last night and from what the N-H said this a.m. it kept all but 100 home last night!  My food plan is steady, my attitude is MUCH better, and my confidence is being restored little by little.  My clothes feel better and so do I.  I'm so happy to be a part of this Lighten Up group. 

A beautiful sunny day was gifted us today in NE Ohio.  Chilly but not a chilly as sitting at a Captain's game last night.  The good thing is they won!  The bad thing is ballpark food is really not calorie friendly.  But I made good choices and felt o.k. about that small bag of popcorn too.  Hope everyone is doing well and staying on track.      lol b

Is this really Cleveland sports?   The Indians, the Cavs and the Lake County Captains ALL WON YESTERDAY!!!   In the short time since I went from a sport's participator to a  spectator (that ever-loving aging process again!) I don't remember this being such a big event for me.  The Captains are my babies since the ballpark opened in 2003 and I can't help loving them no matter what they do.  This is as big a rush as losing weight.  I'll keep on doing both. 

My food journal says this is the 69th day of my Lighten Up program.  I'm glad I'm more aware of what I eat however, being aware and making good choices aren't necessarily the same thing for me.  To quote Barb H. "I've been sitting on the bench" and I have to tighten up my choices.  I would like to celebrate a loss on the scale when we weight in on the 30th and I can't wait until Monday April 25th to start.  Anyone that says this is easy isn't walking in my shoes!  luv 2 all

Wow.   I can't believe we only have one more Wednesday Lenten Dinner at our church next week!  This Lent went so fast...this is our life folks!  Doesn't it seem like just yesterday we were graduating from school and now we're celebrating many, many years in reunions?  Time flies when you're having fun!  I've said that all my life but still feel surprised at time's rapid pace.  I'm having a wonderful week full of gratitude for my blessings of health and family.  Please don't mind me for relying on my faith ..  it's gotten me through some of my roughest life experiences.  Hope you are all enjoying a beautiful time and having some success improving your health.  luv 2 all

Saw our names in the paper today...   I am happy that I am making progress HOWEVER, I don't think I'm really doing my best.  I am a few pounds behind my anticipated goal of losing 2 pounds a week.  Here's to trying to be a little more vigilant during the month of April.   luv 2 all
