EXCITED!!

GOING... for the RMR and labs on Friday February 17th.. .. then with that info they develope a program for me... deciding what will be the best route for success for me based on how my body processes fats, sugars and proteins...  RMR is Resting Metobolic Rate .. you fast before you go. and you spend about 10 minutes breathing in a tube which is connected to a machine that measures metobolic gases they can tell how you process food via this.. should be an interesting experience... and learning about the lab work too...
Otherwise recovering from storm damage yesterday but not directly.. we did not have a hit.. but fairly closed they did... really  sad...
thats it for now...

TIRED OF THE SAME THING

HAD  the same arguement , discussion what have you... etc... with my husband... it is painful for me knowing I have let him down repeatedly with my weight issues... I promise fireworks and I deliver fizzles when it comes to this... for 12 years... that is a pretty sucky record... but of course it is far longer than 12 years .. it is the story of my life.... 50 happens for me in a little over 9 months... I wonder what I could accomplish to change myself in that time.. NOT for him but for me... for after all I would be the one extending my life and getting healthy... I can invent and create just about any excuse to stay the same.. and I have... Even with the PTTDS I need to try and make changes and not give in to the pain.. such as I have since September.. granted it does not help being in the food business... but that is an excuse too.. fact is .. no one but me puts the food in my mouth.. i am tired of good intentions... starting with good intention... Time to take some big steps.. for keeps.. tired of saying this as I have done year after year... what better present can i give myself than taking a leap.. making a change.. finding a new perspective.. pain or anything or anyone else be damned... going to call my doc Monday morning to get a referral to the UAB EatRight program... Wish I could do it on my own.. lord knows I have tried.. perhaps I need the routine of going once a week to classes .. the program as several different branches.. you go for your assessment and they advise you on what they think would be your best bet.. Could be Opti fast... could just be the Lifestyles Eatright Program... I have no idea.. but it is time to get the ball rolling.. I am not sure if I have to have the refferal but I am going to call the doctor Monday to find out... the time is now...

FAMILY PHOTOS AND MOVIES

My stellar and wonderful cousin Valerie is helping me get all my family movies together.. old movies going back to the 1940s... most super 8s .. everyone has gotten a kick out of seeeing them.. I started a new blog just for that and have been busy loading film clips and photos up.. have not gotten the photos up yet but working on that...
any ways time to go make the donuts ... ( not literally mind you)

HOLIDAY RAMBLE

So even though we do not celebrate Christmas you would think we do with the holiday craziness we go through.. part of our family does celebrate Christmas so we have to make sure all gifts are accounted  for there.. then we have the other part that celebrates Chanukah including us.. and make sure those gifts are ready.. this year was a major fail in being organized I usually have all shopping done  by December 1 and all gifts in guest room waiting to be given out.. oh well.. nothing like holiday shopping.. did emergency shopping online last night.. I LOVE AMAZON PRIME!   .. still have a few more gifts to get.. hope all will be pleased.. this years theme was the gift card... yeah I know... not much thought there.. but  a lot less stressful that hemming and hawing about what to get .. how much it costs.. will they like it... will they use it.. etc....
I guess the actual theme is EASY ... lol... well.. got to get on with the day.. hope all is well in your world..

STILL ALIVE AND KICKING

Been a bit..... but all is well..    so glad that ALABAMA won..  and hoping LSU pulls a win next week  .. so we can see a rematch.... ROLLL TIDE!!!!
