TGIF

I am so excited today!
I got up for my walk this morning and went on my morning walk. I was sad bc I didnt have my mp3 player but I have so much to do before I leave to go out of town this afternoon that I just ran all my to-do's in my head and prayed as I walked. What a beautiful morning! The sky here in Alabama looked purty as ever! PREPARATION is key in your goals towards weight loss. All of us stay so busy so I have found that at night once the kids go to sleep I start planning for the next day. I get out veggies and fruit and cut them up and seperate them into plastic baggies. I set out anything that needs to be thawed and I make sure I have everything I need so there will not be a panic the next day. If I have to have something I just run to the store and get it so it will be ready. For those of you wandering no I would NOT leave the kids by themselves, they would have their daddy and nana there. I love going to the store late at night, there is hardly any one there so I dont have to worry about running into ppl I know and would rahter avoid with my situation being what it is. I feel that ppl are examining my food cart. It makes me feel so weird to talk to ppl who are thin and I feel so uncomfortable especially in the grocery store. They are for the most part very friendly I would just rather not engage in a conversation. I feel much better when I can go and it not matter I look a hot mess form a long eventful day with the kids. Of course I have been looking a real hot mess lately. My hair always up and sweating like a hog roasting on the fourth of july. Let me just say for those of you who are not blessed to live here in the deep south...it is hot, humid, and sticky. I don't mind the hot, it's the sticky and the high hunidity that bothers me, but oh well it's liveable-thank God for air conditioning!! so anyway going back to preperation-it is VITAL to your success. I am going out of town this afternoon for the weekend to Mobile to see my husbands family. They have not seen the kids in 2 years so we are going dowm there. travis' aunt and cousin have monogram machines and they make clothes so I am hoping they have some treats for me! I am geting some clothes from his cousin for Hannah and taking my kids to the beach for the first time! I hope they love it. I know me and my mother in law will! I haven't been to the beach in years! I didn't want to go and look like a whale that got washed up on the beach. It is NOT fun going to the beach as a big girl..you see all these beautiful women with beautiful bodies in beautiful swim suits and you look at yourself in your big t-shirt and stretchy pant capris with a weggie you need to dig out from bending down and playing with the kiddos and you think God, please don't let my children draw any attention over here. So you wear sunglasses and a hat to kind of "hide" yourself from ppl. I mean I am not trying to be hard on myself YOU KNOW how ppl are especially at the beach-I am not being paranoid! They are always making dun of fat ppl-all the time. So that is why I am deathly afraid of going there this weekend but I am doing it for the kids. So I have packed a cooler with water and fruit and veggies and turkey wraps and am eating like normal today and we are going to the grocery store when we get there to get our dinner and Saturdays food and Sunday. I want to be ready for anything. I hope that you all have a wonderful friday!
