My New Windshield

I can tell that my hubby is still mad. I cracked the windshield yesterday trying to put several pieces of 12ft. lumber in my van. I know what you men are saying what a dummy. Well to counter your comment I was trying to be a helpful wife...never again. The guy at the home improvement store help me put the lumber in the van but it was hanging out of the passenger window. I thought I could be a little safe and instead tried to fit it inside the van, and the first couple of pieces fit. (WHEW) When I tried to move the last piece (four all together) I heard a ear defying noise and knew immediately I was in trouble. I knew it was accident but my fear was my hubby's reaction. After putting the wood back where it was before this disaster, I called him. Yes, he was mad! What can I say but sorry and THANKS, GEORGE for fixing my windshield and possibly my marriage!

Should I Feel Guilty?

I am waiting for my hubby to get home so that we can go to the store and then out to eat. I have indulged in a Snickers bar and more than a handful of Baked Ruffles. When I was at the store buying the Snickers (and a Kit Kat which I thankfully did not eat), I realized that I am about to come on. I don't normally eat to much chocolate so that is how I knew. The question is should I feel guilty about eating junk when I know that in a hour or so I will be eating food? I don't but I am satisfied which is what it is all about, right? I am sure there is someone who would differ but whatever...I'll just complain to those people and wait for them to say I told you so. I have not been able to figure out how to consciously make the choice to eat something healthier all the time instead of some of the time.

So I procastinate

I told you I would start off on a good note...well sort of. Wednesday evening I ate fairly healthy. I say fairly because I had some homemade french fries (yes fried!). Starch will always be my downfall. But here it is less than two days later and it feels like I am falling off the wagon.


I really didn't do to much...any exercising yesterday. I do plan on walking today but as I tell my children "we'll see". I have become humble on my quest to lose weight and then maintain it. So many times I start off with this ambition to lose then some stressor enters my life and out come the fried foods, ice cream, chips, dips, and then it all goes to my hips!

I have allowed you into the mini-depths of my life and have not introduced myself. My name is Liza and I am a thirty something mother of five, including our dog, bonus mom to four (will define later), wife to one, sister to several, and so on and so forth. I love my life for the most part...meaning if I were a millionaire I would be even happier. Then again more money more problems so maybe I just want to be comfortable and know that my children and future grandchildren are also comfortable. I am ready to change careers but haven't decided on what I want to do. I know that I want my schedule to be flexible so that I can continue to take care of my family, help others, and have time for myself...Any suggestions? .....

Trying to start over...again

Well, well, well I have started my walking regimen for what seems like the millionth time. (1 1/3 miles) My weight is out of control. I am 5'7 and weigh 190 lbs which, in todays society, 30 lbs overweight! I don't like the way I look or feel either, so don't think that I am doing this for anyone but me. My husband has made several comments about my stomach and thighs but I know (honestly know) that he loves me regardless. I notice him looking at females that are in shape and I know he is wishing that his wife could look similar to them. (actually he has said it) We will see how everything goes with this time around...
