WOW! Almost 6 months sine an update! I am way.....behind and busy! Facebook helps keep us all connected so I forget about my blog!
It's almost harvest time and that's always an exciting time of year! My Thirty One business is booming with 8 bookings and 13 events in the next 2 months. I would prefer more bookings but I am happy with what I have so far! :)

The kids are all well and very busy!

I have not weighed and I have cheated! We had a big family weekend and I cooked a lot of yummy food! I am finishing my 24 days but have learned it's more about life and healthy choices than a 'diet'. I hope to continue making good choices so I keep loosing weight! I hope to exercise more! I hope I loose more weight and get to my goal before my winter couples only vacation! Before I turn 40 it's time to feel comfortable in my body! I am comfortable in my skin but was once a tiny lady! I'd just like to be a little smaller than I am now! :)

I'm not sure what day this is on my 24! I cheated tonight with a cheeseburger and had a coffee Sunday. I am still following the rules for the most part. My challenge partner is a rock star....not even considering cheating! I have not had any time to exercise....really no time! We had a full overbooked weekend and the week is in full swing! My jeans are all hanging on me so I feel hopeful I have lost a few more pounds!

UGH....this is not getting easier. I love food!! I love coffee and I love doing what I want...when I want! I am thru 10 days! On day 11 or the first day of 14 day max pack! I am down 4 pounds and no inches on my waist but I have not been exercising much.

My girl who has been extremely helpful claims the main weight loss portion of my 24 days start now! Wish me luck because I really, really want to quit!

Weekend has been hard....really hard! Friday night McKenzie's game started an hour and half late so I was starving!!! I made it to McDonald's for a salad at 9. Saturday after waiting in the cold and rain hours for dance tickets I went to breakfast with a friend! I ordered water and a small oatmeal but I made it!!!! Volleyball tourn all day followed by dinner with friends at a GREAT restaurant. I had fish and veggies! Today made a decent lunch of salad and turkey and had salad again for dinner!

Blogging this makes me feel more accountable but I have to say I am not down much yet and really feel ok but have not noticed a huge difference! 4 more days then the second phase starts!

Day 3 - I made it! Everyday is a little harder than the one before! Today I ventured to Ft.Wayne for some shopping but found a great salad at Casa that I think fell into my guidelines! The meals are a little tough and it seems like I am out of food all the time......complaining that's what I am doing! Making excuses and complaining! Frankly, I enjoy food....I like eating and the way food tastes! BUT food is fuel and I need to adjust my thinking!

Bring on the weekend!

Day 2-I had to work at the stone quarry today so I really missed my coffee fix but I survived! I started to gag the fiber drink this a.m.! That has to be the worst of all! Honestly, why can't that be put into a pill?????

The rest of the day went smoothly. I ate a lot of almonds and just had an apple and some black olives.

Tomorrow I'm going to be on the run all day and Kenz has softball tomorrow night so it will be tough sticking to my new routine! :)

Down a few pounds so far but have not exercised for 2 days!
