Happy Thanksgiving!



I can't believe it's Thanksgiving today! We are well on our way with preparations for our family dinner. The house is clean, the dishes are ready to be put on the table and I've had a taste of our deep fried bird--delicious!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

My cup spillith over--and not in a good way

I was doing good with eating and exercising until I got sick. Now I've put a couple of pounds on. it's so bad that when I was getting dressed last Sunday my jeans were tight on me. I did what I normally do when things are tight I "stretch" my jeans out. I put a hole in them. I guess I "stretched" them out one too many times.
To get things back on track I'm going to exercise everyday. Even if it's for only a little bit. I see my buddha belly in the mirror and I can't believe it's my body. I'm used to seeing the athletic body in the mirror. Well when one hasn't been athletic in years I don't know why I am shocked to my current body reflected.
I'm taking M up on his offer to take me to the gym he goes to. They have ellipticals, tread mills and weights. I need to amp up the cardio to get rid of my belly and other areas that have expanded.
I'll let you know how things go.

Thank you

to my Dad, Poppy and all our veterans for serving our country and making life as we know it possible. We love you!U.S. Marines raising the American flag over Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, in February 1945.

Update on birthday

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! I had a lovely day with my family. We went out for dinner at a terrific Italian restaurant nearby. Let me tell you--the cannoli was so good I wanted to lick the plate! I get home and my wonderful husband and daughter had gotten me a french press! My Mom thought it was funny that I received this as a gift--"You don't drink coffee", she says. I told her about three months ago I started drinking it in the morning. M adds its because I work during the day and need it to get going. I am going to exchange this for a french press that you can close the spout off by rotating the lid. I do like the red (my favorite color). So I'm going to get the red metal french press by Bod.um. It's so supposed to be really good coffee because it allows the natural oils to flow through. When you use a filter it traps the oils. I can't wait to try it!
