I know that many of you who follow my blog are probably saying to yourself..."Oh here we go again!!, Melissa is on yet another diet". You would be right, but I am not signing up for a program or restricting my life, well I guess I will be restricting, no maybe I will just call it "limiting". ;)
Anyway, let me back up some and catch everyone up since I have been terrible at posting my life's happenings on my blog at least. Those of you who follow me on Facebook know what my day to day stuff has been like. Last time I posted was 2 months ago. Since then day to day has been pretty routine, kids are out of school now and they are not bored with summer yet....which in my mind is a great thing. We have had some nasty weather days and the kids have really rallied and been quite pleasant for the most part considering they are stuck inside. Ryan attended a basketball camp for 4 days just a week or so ago and he loved it. :) This makes me happy that he got moving and found out he really likes basketball. He wants to sign up to play when that comes around during the school year.
Elizabeth went to a "safety day" camp and learned about several kinds of safety, farm, home, personal, etc...She enjoyed it a lot.
Shelby is working almost everyday at Pizza Ranch. As some of you know we have gone through some tough times with her this past year or so. She is working hard and has her ups and downs but we are hopeful that we are instilling good values and teaching her to become a responsible adult. I can't believe she will be 18 this December!! Boy do I ever feel old!!!
J.R. and I got engaged in April as well....We have even started making some plans for the wedding of our dreams. One that honors our love but isn't all stuffy and rigid. For those who are wondering, we haven't set a date yet. But I will keep you posted on that as soon as we set one. :)
Did I mention that I am working part time in a great shop in my town? It is real fun and even though it is only a few hours 3 days a week, it gets me out of the house and a few extra dollars can't hurt right? LOL
Now going back to that nasty four letter word I hate so much......DIET!! As I said in the beginning of this post I am not going to diet anymore. But...I do want to lose some weight. Right now I feel tired and have pain almost all the time. I am not sleeping well due to pain and I know that isn't helping my moods and my health. So my goal over the summer is to get into a new routine of eating and making better choices. I have to move more even though it hurts. Every little bit has to help. So I will try each day to do something. My goal right now is to lose 50 lbs by my birthday in December!! I think that is realistic don't you? Getting down to the weight I was before I had Shelby is where I want to be for now, if I lose more then that is a BONUS!! I have to do this for ME.....not for my kids, not for J.R. He loves my curves and honestly so do I. I have had curves my whole life. I think I was born with them...LOL But, my health and risks of serious disease is what keeps pushing me back into the dieting arena.
So there is my life as of late in a nutshell so to speak. I don't even know if anyone reads this but I hope someone does. (kinda creepy just blogging to myself...LOL)
