It’s SO quiet in my house.  Not quiet like everyone else is sleeping.  JUST quiet.
My guys are away for the weekent (that would by my hubby and teenage son).
I was really looking forward to them being away so that I could get a lot of things done around the house.
Well now it’s Sunday and I still have a lot of those things to do.
The good news is that it’s only 5:30 AM so I still have lots of time to work on them.
I know I should be sleeping but like I said the house is SO quiet.  I also have this dang cold that sure doesn’t help to sleep.

I did have a GREAT day yesterday. 
I finally picked out my new glasses - I had been putting that off for awhile.  So that was a huge accomplishment on its own.
I found some excercise DVDs at Walmart and a couple more at Superstore so I’m excited about that. 
One that I put in yesterday is a dancing one and thats more what I was looking for.  One that I can have fun with, that gets me up and moving.
Not so much the workout, workout type if you know what I mean.  Atleast for now anyway.
I hope I use them all even if not right away.  I think a couple of them will be better a little ways down the road but thats alright too.

I was also able to stick within my calories so I’m thrilled with that.
I’m so happy that I found Buddly Slim.
For the first time in my life I actually feel like I can do this and I know that I will succeed.
Reading all of your blogs helps so much.
Some make me laugh and some make me cry but they all make me think.
I love how some of you have said that even if you mess up one day that doesn’t have to be the end.  Just to get back up the next day or for the rest of the afternoon and keep going.  I LOVE THAT.
That is where I used to go wrong. 
Now I don’t feel so much pressure and as a result not messing up the way I used to (Knock on wood - my head, as my father would say, and watch for splinters).

I loved how Dawn talked about dropping so many sizes (WAY TO GO DAWN!!!) 
Reading that I realized I have never dropped a size in my life.  How sad is that?
I have always gone up.
Reading that I realized that size 22 is where I stop and start going down.
