Baking

In my life, I haven't been blessed w/ kids...or tortured...however ya wanna look at it...lol. But there are kids in my family. This weekend I spent some time w/ one of the girls. She is just past 10 and a joy to be around. I brought her over to the house to do some baking.

We made a Gooey Butter Cake and then she watched me make a quick batch of Zucchini Bread. I think that it was her first time baking anything. She done really well. Lots of questions and she seemed to enjoy it.

The hardest part was waiting for it all to be done!

Weight loss journey

I started a journey some time ago. One that I've been on before and struggled w/ it. What journey? Weight loss...Ack!

I have to say that this time, I'm not loosing weight as fast as I have in the past. But I'm not struggling as much either. It's going very slow but it's going. I have lost about 13 lbs and 4 inches off my waist, arm and thigh. I haven't given up anything, I've just tried to watch what I'm eating. I feel that if I deny myself something then, I'm just going to crash off the *wagon* and be disappointed in myself.

I have a long ways to go on this journey but that's ok. It's a lifestyle change so I have my whole life ahead of me to accomplish it. And accomplish it, I will.

And so it begins...

I have been blogging for about 2 years on another site and thought I would move some of the more everyday type of things...here.

I've found that I enjoy blogging and getting the thoughts and such out of my head but I needed a more netural ground to do so.

So, we begin...
