Patrice, at Everyday Ruralty, hosts Wednesday Words of Weight Loss every Wednesday! It's a fun HOP that offers encouragement and company on the issue of weight. It's never too late to join! Come on, this is your week to join in the FUN!
Questions
1. Do you feel better in skirts or pants? Pants, pants, pants! No doubt. Without question. Pants.
2. Do you remember a time when you felt like "a million dollars" or anything over 50 cents? Yes. I remember feeling that way on several occasions when I had lost weight and gotten into clothes that I really liked and felt good in. Only, on those weight loss episodes, I only had 10 or 20 pounds to lose and it came off pretty easily. Now, it's 20 x 5 pounds and some of it is re-losing the pounds I put BACK on after losing my last 83 which really sucks that I let myself do this.
3. Walking or running? I walk 2-3 miles every day but it's a face paced walk. I did run in college but I hated it then so I don't see me loving it now.
4. Have you ever had any "ah-ha" moment about health or eating habits? Now in English- have you ever felt like you made a discovery about health or eating habits. I haven't made any discoveries on my own but I have discovered that some of the things others have discovered are true. Does that sentence make sense? For example, I have discovered that if I cut the sugar and bad carbs, my body really does burn fat AND I stop craving the carbs! I have discovered that what I heard this man say (I totally forgot who it was but he was either on a morning news show or The Doctors or something like that) something about we are letting our thinking control what/how/why we eat holds some truth with me as I have discovered that I am very good at deceiving myself--the entire time I was putting the weight back on I kept telling myself that I wasn't even though there were signs that I was. AND I have discovered that I live amongst enablers. I have discovered that chewing your food SLOWLY really does make a difference in how much I eat. I have discovered that stopping the late night snacking and going to bed by ten o'clock makes a positive difference. I have discovered that nothing will work unless I am ready to get serious about losing the weight.
5. If someone could do something really nice for you, that would make you happy, what would it be? Bring Deanie home for her 24th birthday next week. (I do NOT like this living NINE hours away business).

Deanie and boytoy--aren't they just the cutest?!
This is the 23rd day of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) for the month of March. The theme for this month is: in a word! My chosen word for today is: SUPPORT because that's what you get from this particular HOP every Wednesday!
Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
