Went fishing up American Fork Canyon last week. Drove all the way to Silver Lake. Its a dirt road for the last 3 miles and my bald tires almost didnt make it! However, it was worth the drive. That place is gorgous!

Of course we did not catch a single little fishy, but we had a great time. As soon as the sun went down tho, it got SO cold! It reminded me of October weather and that I would need to get out the Halloween costume soon and prepare for the snow, eek!

All in all tho, it was a great day and I really want to go back soon. The lake was sooo clean and fresh and clear. We even saw a Buck and Doe walk along the trees! Beautiful.

Hard to belive that it is the end of July already. School starts three weeks from Monday. I dont want to think about it.
However, when school starts I hope to be back on schedule and perhaps will be able to loose this summer-time flab I have accumulated in the past few months. I am not happy today. I have been eating whatever I want, so in that aspect I have been happy, but when I put my jeans on in the morning, I really have to squish into them. and if I wear ugg boots in the winter, I sure better look good.
So starting August 1st, I am going to try to loose a few pounds. Again. This time tho, I really need to do it. I am not healthy anymore. 20 lbs gotta go. *sigh*

OMG this week is dragging. I am so tired! I really need to get to bed earlier. It is very hard during the summer to get to sleep at a reasonable time. The kiddo is off school so he gets to sleep ‘ill 10am or later but I have to get up at 6am! So we both end up staying up way too late.

I guess I could drink the Amp below, but I really hate that stuff! The kiddo loves it so he bought 10 cans the other day. They were the cheapest I have ever seen them at Smiths, so I told him if he wanted them he could buy them using his own money. I guess he really wanted them so he bought them! I pretty much let him buy what he wants with his own money. He is such a tight-wad that I really dont have to worry. He saves saves saves money very good. I wish I could save like he does; but I am the one the needs to buy food, gas and what-not!

Below is a pic of the Amp, but Rosey got her butt in there and I think you can see Midnight our Gerbil. Our countertops hold more animals than food. uhg.

I love taking a quick snooze in the middle of the day; 30 minutes or so is all I really need. I just get so dang tired after working all day I need a quick break.
Every day when I get home, the first thing I do is take the Cats outside. It seems they like short breaks too!

I do believe that being outside is good for us. It clears my mind, the air is nice and the sun (in moderation) helps me remove acne scars buy getting a nice glowing tan. I have not been to the pool yet this year as I am too fat and embarressed to show myself, but I do love the Sun and if dont get a nap and Vitamin D from the Sun each day – talk about a grumpy Mom!

The A/C has been fixed. It is SO nice! Good thing too cuz tomorrow it is supposed to hit 100 degrees.
And since we now have a nice cool house, it is getting cleaned up. I have noticed that when I am hot and miserable, I tend to sit on my butt, eat and do nothing. I should have prob taken some appetite suppressants, but I was hoping the cool air would come back soon and I would get motivated again. Sure enough, I cleaned the house, did the dishes and even made the bed yesterday. So Nice to have a cool and clean house again!

We are now officially Roasting in our house. The A/C refused to turn on Sunday and the heat is steadily increasing. Outside it was 95 yesterday and this morning when I left for work it was 82 degrees inside. Have you ever seen Hot Gerbils? It is not a pretty sight. Plus, the Fish are getting too warm and all the Cats do is sleep and fight w/each other !
Yesterday I did not do a thing after I got home from work; it was too hot to move! There is like no way I am going to exersice on the pull up bars either. Sitting and watching TV was hard enough.
I did call the A/C guy and the soonest he can arrive is today between 3-5pm. I sure hope he does come on time. We and the Pets cannot handle much of this.

I finally decided to get my butt in gear and get our flower bed fixed up. Lame-O me forgot to take a ‘before’ pic, so you just get the ‘after’ pic.

After I got done reading diet supplement reviews, I decided that I need to get physical, so my Son and I loaded bucket after bucket of dirt into the newly bricked flower bed. I ordered that Black Soil, but forgot a Wheelbarrow, so we had to lug the dirt about 100 yards or so, bucket by bucket and dump it in the ditch, which is now a nice flower bed! I do like that Black Soil. Now I just need flowers . . . that might have to wait till next year cuz my money just ran out; I never knew dirt and bricks were so stinkin’ expensive!

K, we went to Cowabunga Bay today and man, I did not even take off my shorts I was so self- conscience. I really need to loose some weight. I need some noxycut if I cant get back down 17 lbs. Oh, this place is a Water Park and it was 92 degrees, so its not like I should have took my shorts off! I just felt terrible. I have not felt this way in years, mostly I am very happy in a bathing suit, but not today, totally depressing. But I am working on it. I will weigh my self Monday and hope I lost a few pounds at the least! It is just hard as I love food way too much :(

Happy July 4th ( A Day Late! )

In this really backwards State of Uah, we cannot celebrate Holidays on Sundays (cuz of the ‘Church’) ya know, so all the celebrations happened on Saturday and some more Today (July 5th).
But I am at work today anyways, cuz I would rather work the Holiday and take another day off later in the Year. So I hope ya’all had a great 4th of July. We sure did !

Here I am; Monday Morning, Almost 47 Years Old, and FAT. *heavy sigh*
I am really having a heck-of-a-time with my weight these days. Which makes me very grumpy, which makes me eat more, which makes me gain weight, which makes me grumpy, which makes me eat more, which makes me gain weight . . . do you see the cycle ?!

If I don’t get my stupid brain back working like it is supposed to work, I might get more age spots and for heavens sake I don’t want those!

SO today its going to STOP. I re-set my Weight Watchers OnLine w/new stats and I am going to be happy again, be slim again, and be healthy.

Here are my Stats. I figure if I post them online I will be SO embaressed I will have no choice but to loose the flab:

Age: 47 in a few days
Weight: 162.00
Height 5′ 8.5″

So there ya go. From now on it will go down down down down. I am tired of putting my life on hold cuz I am too fat. I can’t even go to the pool for god’s sake !!!!!! But No More. Today it Stops.
