    OK.... I have been beaten but I refuse to give up

    How many months it has been not blogging and not working toward a goal. Oh telling myself I am going to start tomorrow.  Tomorrow never comes but one thing is for sure those pounds sneak right back up on you. I am back up to 254, bummer but it is my own fault. I am making a pact with myself.  Back to eating, exercising, and enjoying life. Pat and I have had a great summer. We bought some peddle bikes and we rode them basically everywhere we could.  We were conserving fuel, saving money, and exercising. Bike riding is soooo much fun!  I love it, but I hurt my back about a month ago and that basically put me back so many months.  Basically I gave up and started eating, my will power diminished.  I am done eating poorly. I don't want to have a "cheat day" that turns into a week or two of eating everything.  I am so happy Biggest Loser is starting in 11 days!!!  Motivation from that show is amazing and it is awesome to see the changes I make by watching the show.  If only it could be on 52 weeks per year!  Well, I am planning on a bike ride tomorrow to the farmer's market to check out some of the local produce. I can get my cardio out of the way bright and early and then focus my energy on the other things I need to accomplish this weekend. I am going to try to get better at blogging, if for nothing else to help my own psyche. I feel like a failure. How disappointed Bob and Jillian would be to see how far I fell off the wagon. How frustrated I am to feel my clothes tight on me, AGAIN! So, the plan I have is to start journaling my eating and exercising here daily, putting my thoughts and feelings down so maybe I can get things off my mind, clear my conscience so I don't eat my sorrows, happiness, or blah days away!
     
    On a happier and more upbeat note, Pat and I will be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary on Monday.  WOW!  Seven years, though not 20 or 30, still a great accomplishment for both of us. He is such a good man, loving, and FUN to be around.  Happy Anniversary Baby! You truly are my knight in shining armour!!!!   We went to Red Rocks to the 3 Doors Down concert on Tuesday.... AWESOME!!!!!  That is all I can say about that  :o)  We had so much fun, definitely a place to go to a concert if you ever get the chance!!!!!  The boys are both on Varsity Football this year!  GO CATS!!!!   I am so proud of them. It is amazing how fast they grow up.  We have a junior and a sophomore and then our daughter is going to be the BIG 20... I cannot believe I have a 20 year old daughter... is that crazy or what?  I also am almost finished with school.... Nov 24, 2008 I will receive my BSHA.... OH MY!!!!  It is almost surreal!   But a HUGE accomplishment, none the less.  I hope that one day I can feel just as accomplished getting to my goal weight.  It is a long hard road, but so was going to school fulltime and trying to be a good mom and wife.  I think I may have failed the past two years on the good mom and wife, but I did the best I could I think. Trying to find a way to be successful at this life long struggle, just like most. 
     
    Well, I look forward to this new weightloss challenge. I look at it as new because I cannot dwell on the past.
     
    Determined to succeed!

    Hi neighbors, thanx for the nice comments on our site! We haven't updated our pictures on our site for months because I am ashamed to say this summer we really slacked off! We were doing so well, and little by little it is just creaping back on. I finally said, thats enough I must do something about this, I felt so good when I was loosing, I WANT THAT FEELING BACK, so...thats what I am going to do. Don't feel bad you faltered, so did we, now lets all get back at it and feel better! We are going on the cruise in April, that would be so cool if you could come and we could meet you guys. Good luck with your new beginning to the journey, we are right there with you, past is the past...forward and downward we all will go!Take care
    Patty
