The knees feel better. I was not hunger all day and really watched it, but today I was hunger a few times. I just resisted and did something else like try to finish the rocker I am painting.

Enough already, Donna get on the ball. This is a picture of me now but the gal standing in one of her pants legs is also me less than 3 years ago. My knees are crying for me to get back to that so starting today that is what I will do. I'm not sure if I will get all the way back but 1/2 way would be great. I may surprise myself and get past that. But Dennis and I want to go to Vegas and to see the folks in Yuma and I don't want to be miserable so I better start now. My goal is to have 30 off by February when we would like to go. I have said in the past that I don't want to get obsessed with this but maybe that is what I have to do to get anywhere with this so I will hopefully be faithfull with this blog and journal everyday with it. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Ghs2GANcCRTftPlq6Jv_55qdoZmEppfMqgLhPaLvAWjFFZa8xlqcnLH9QoYcLm3Ffbo3tDFJuB2un8rVehRTwf7Cgf9vXh6v1rxmhx1emEOBcqSLYTBtbb821IcyPPgNQSi8kd_bjO5J/s1600-h/DONJEANS.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Ghs2GANcCRTftPlq6Jv_55qdoZmEppfMqgLhPaLvAWjFFZa8xlqcnLH9QoYcLm3Ffbo3tDFJuB2un8rVehRTwf7Cgf9vXh6v1rxmhx1emEOBcqSLYTBtbb821IcyPPgNQSi8kd_bjO5J/s400/DONJEANS.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260332409878195794" border="0" /></a>I do not want to have to give up my job I have 2 days a week working at a great little country market where I stand on my feet 8 hrs.

Did the usual things, with the usual people. We take off Feb. 1st for Yuma to see the folks. We are spending more time with a couple Grandkids we haven't seen for a awhile and that is good. Here they are after we made biscuits. They were good with honey butter grampa got for us. That's grampa with a couple other grankids, he's the horse. We are trying to get healthy but things keep getting in my way, mostly me. Dennis has cut out alcohol, so proud of him for that and he's exercising. I don't know, I'm just such a lump. I need to get a physical or something. I'm driving him and I crazy. He's very patient though.

I don't know if I mentioned it but my refridgerator is still on the fritz as the parts that were order were WRONG!!!!! It will be 4 more days.<br /></div><div>I spent most of my weekend in a pissy mood as I was telling Louise this morning over coffee. I will not even mention why because it is so embarrassing. But as usual the pastor's words Sunday morning brought me back down to earth and I am gettting over it. Being 50 sometimes can be more exhausting than you think, am I'm almost out of Happy Camper, my new supply better get here Fast. I got an email today stating they shipped 9/14/07. So poor Elmo might be spared.. Poor man, I about bit his head off several times this weekend, some was deserved, some not. He got his kiss on the way out the door this morning so all should be forgiven. </div><div>Here's a picture of Elmo and Haus, our cowboy son on his way to his next adventure.

I had all my veggies and fruits and not too many fats or carbs but on sunday, there was really no choices, sooo.... Elmo and I ate the rest of the Low Calorie Moose Tracks ice cream out of the Freezer. It tasted great and now it's gone.

I can not wait to get the 1st 20 pounds off so my knees don't hurt so much when I walk. It has been 4 days since we started our quest for good health. So far so good, though I was up 1 pound this morning. We had mongolian last night, no noodles or rice but maybe one of the sauses wasn't kosher, if you know what I mean. We did some work out in the yard, clearing weeds and old fence post, reclaiming veiw the horses stole from us. I'm calling that my exercise as my heart was really a thumping. That's a good thing. I hope to get some serious bike riding in tomorrow, we'll see.

Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?" So she did and she had a wonderful day.<br />The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M," she said, I think I'll part my hair down the middle today?" So she did and she had a grand day.<br />The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun, fun day.<br />The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "YEA!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"<br />Attitude is everything. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly....... Leave the rest to God Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain.Gramma Brobeck!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01025144742215113073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395722753219038915.post-19492551318044588602007-09-14T08:28:00.000-07:002007-09-14T08:44:44.705-07:00Thelma & Elmo Living LARGE!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqIE8-DOpymPZMO11QdNlirmyGp-r7YY8OAkQ00vrbSRwXTvMV-Yxuoz0e_u5ricT1AJoYtDWSQ1CbqPnXjkJ8qG5Pk7e5mgUDgoKShgbZbYLr2gMIlwDi8Rk45zSeNUIYEDyzpKMoISHe/s1600-h/me&denbw.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110085211579303522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqIE8-DOpymPZMO11QdNlirmyGp-r7YY8OAkQ00vrbSRwXTvMV-Yxuoz0e_u5ricT1AJoYtDWSQ1CbqPnXjkJ8qG5Pk7e5mgUDgoKShgbZbYLr2gMIlwDi8Rk45zSeNUIYEDyzpKMoISHe/s400/me&denbw.jpg" border="0" /></a> Okay, just as a reminder of what the large US looks like I will am posting this picture of us all dressed up on our 25th.

I told Dennis about this blog I started and he poo-pooed it so I will have to work him into it, but none the less he is also on a quest for good health. We know all the secrets and are eager to put them into use. One problem we have had in the past is that we never seem to be on the same page at the same time. But for the moment we are, so we'll go with it and see how far it takes us.<br />My inspiration right now, is 'The Biggest Loser', I was not going to watch it this season but flipped over to it and was hooked again. So right after they weighed, I weighed. It was a gastly 225, which means I have put on 75 lbs since my brother died April of 06. Oh now I am not blaming it on that, it is just my reference point. I know that I was at a low point, weight wise, then. So it's no wonder my bones hurt, my head hurts, I have a deep loathing for myself. I have all these home improvements I want to accomplish but am too sore to get up. I had my grandsons over for a couple days and even with help, I hurt like the dicken's. I want to do that again so I gotta get off my butt and get my head on straight and start loving me enough to not kill myself with this destructive behavior.<br />Okay I am now going to find a before picture and put it on here and then get on my bike and go see Louise for coffee.
