South Beach Diet

So tonight I bought the South Beach Diet book.  And so far it has been some pretty interesting reading.  From what I have read so far it has tons of benefits.  It would work for all types of people.  Those wanting to lose 10 pounds or 50 pounds.  I'm looking forward to diving right in and seeing how it works.  I don't want to lose a ton of weight or anything but I do want to maintain a good healthy diet and with this "diet" you can.  I'm actually looking forward to starting it come Monday.  I'll let yall know how I do.  Kent is also doing it.  There is even a section on diabetes in there.  I am at that chapter right now, I just haven't read it yet.  Anyway, Kent has diabetes and we were worrying how it would affect him.  So, I will see as soon as I read that chapter.  I'm hoping he can do it too though.  I think it would be easier if we both did it together.  I'm just hoping we can stick with it.  I'm going grocery shopping Sunday and picking up all the needed "supplies" for the next two weeks.  I'm hoping this works!!!!!!  Well, that is all for now...I may be back in a few hours writing something crazy and off the wall....cause it seems I am pulling an all nighter because Kent is working....well later gator!

Stressed

    

I am stressed beyond belief.  All this waiting and waiting has taken it's toll on me.  I have to wait to take clomid that will hopefully allow us to conceive a healthy baby.  It's just way too stressful.  Once I can take the medicine I know this stress will be gone, but right now I have no control over when I take it.  Only my body does....  I am on CD (cycle day) 44.  It has been the longest 44 days of my life.  I'll just be glad when it is over and I can proclaim to the world that I am pregnant!!!!!!!!!  Today was a pretty day.  The temp. was a little lower than my liking, but the sun was shining brightly.  I went to water aerobics today.  I haven't done well with my exercise routine this week.  All the stress just got to me.  It will all be over Sunday though.  And Monday...lol...I am starting a new diet.  And Kent has volunteered to do it with me.  It's the southbeach diet.  From all that I have read about it, it seems to be a good little diet.  Well, I am off to finish supper and get dressed to go to Wally World.  I'll talk with yall later!  Be good and have a good weekend!

What's your Body Mass Index?

                                         

My BMI is 22.3.  According to the chart that is in the normal range.  So I am pretty happy about that.  But one thing about this whole diet thing is that I am not happy about only losing 2 pounds so far.  Today is day 10 of my dieting and still I am at 138.  It's driving me crazy.  I know that muscle weighs more than fat and yes I have been working out so there is more muscle than fat, but sometimes I just want to look at the scale and see 128 on there instead of 138.  I just hope I lose more before I get pregnant.  I hope to be atleast 134 by the time I get pregnant.  But if I'm not pregnant within the next month or so, I hope to get down to 128.  That is my pre-pregnancy goal.  I hope I make it!

Today was a good day.  I got outside and did some yard work.  Kent and his grandparents and myself dug up some bushes and planted them along our house.  We hope they survive.  If they do they will look so pretty next to my house.  I did some housework today as well.  Washing clothes, sweeping, washing dishes that sort of stuff.  I'm hoping to get some more done tomorrow.  We'll just have to see.  I hope to get some Spring cleaning done in the next few weeks or so.  Maybe in a week or two I will start that.  It's been since Oct/Nov of last year that I really got down and cleaned.  I'm having a yard sale the first of April so I want to do the cleaning before that so I can go through my stuff and decide what I want to put in it.  Well, that is all for now!  I'll talk with yall later!

And the winner is....

The Sunbird.  It's a resort type hotel.  It is really nice and it's close to all the attractions at Panama City Beach.  I honestly am just too excited for words.  We are going Jul 18th-the21st.  We are going with another couple.  We are sharing the costs of the room.  Which allowed us to get a really nice place.  While in PC Beach we will probably go to Shell Island.  It's so beautiful there.  I fell in love with the place the last time and just can't wait to get back.  Only thing I am worried about is being pregnant while on the trip.  I hope so much to be pregnant by then, but there won't be much I can do though.  But that's OK...it makes more time for laying out in the sun I guess!

Today is Day 9 of my dieting.  It went as usual.  I haven't exercised yet though.  I hope to atleast get some ab work in if nothing else.  Then tomorrow I should be getting back on my regular routine.  It's walking 2 miles and then water aerobics.  I'm hoping by the end of the week I will have lost a few more pounds.  I hope so!

Well, that is all for now.  I'll talk with yall later!!!

Bad boys, bad boys...whatcha gonna do

::::::::::::::::::::::::Theme song from COPS::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

LOL...today was just too funny.  About 12:45pm or so I heard this noise, like I car was having trouble.  So I look out the door and see this man hop out of his car and start walking down the road.  Well, as he was walking I noticed that my mailbox, the pole it was on was in two pieces.  And my neighbor's mailbox was messed up too.  What happened was the car's tire fell off and either the tire hit the mailboxes or the car itself did.  Well, I run and wake Kent up and tell him.  So, we go out there and get the tag number of the car.  And since we couldn't find that man, we called the police.  Well, they get here and we are all talking because the police couldn't do anything because we were out of the city limits...anywho, so we were waiting on a state trooper to get here.  Well, as we were standing there with the cops the car drives by real slowly and has it's blinker on.  Well, the guy on the passenger side was the guy who hit our mailboxes.  And I was like that was the man who hit our milboxes.  Well, instead of pulling over they keep going...lol...this is where it gets interesting.  The cop hops on his motorcycle and takes off after them.  Well, a few mintues later they all come back.  In the mean time while waiting on the trooper the guy doesn't have any ID, no insurance papers, and the tag on the car isn't even the right tag for the car.  So, finally the trooper gets there and we are all standing around.  Well, about that time the cop tells the trooper that the guy is saying his name is one thing, but the girl he is with refuses to tell him what the man's name is.  So, that raises some red flags.  Well, a little while later another cop pulls up and questions the guy.  Then that cop leaves and another cop pulls up, pats the man down and hand cuffs him and takes him to jail.  Well, Kent goes back out there and is talking to the trooper and the trooper said the man wouldn't tell them his name, plus the car belonged to a dealership and they told him not to take the car and he did.  So they are going to press charges on him as well.  LOL...the moral of this story......don't mess with my mailbox!

Vacation Planning

I am too excited!  I'm planning a vacation for July 18th-July 21st.  Kent and I are going to Florida, well Panama City to be exact.  I just love the beach.  I can't wait.  The whole trip was started as a surprise for Kent for his birthday.  I was going to plan everything out and then spring it on him.  Well, seeing how I can't keep secrets from Kent...I just had to tell him.  So, I did.  He was happy about it.  So, I am now looking for places to stay.  I have found a couple of places, but I haven't made a final decision.  I need to make one soon though, cause all of these places are selling out very quickly.  While we are down there, Kent is going to have a session where he can swim with the dolphins.  I say he is because I don't know if I am or not.  Because if I am pregnant then I don't know if I can or would want to swim with the dolphins.  I hope we can take a trip to Shell Island.  It is just so beautiful there.  Kent and I went last year, and it literally took my breath away.  It was so beautiful and so untouched.  Just perfect...just like the way God intended it to be.  Anywho, needless to say I am excited and just can't wait!

Day 8 of my dieting is going fairly well.  I need to bump up my water intake.  But besides that I think I have caught my second wind and I am ready to go.  I have already done some cardio today.  I didn't go to water aerobics nor did I do my two miles.  But like I said I did my cardio.  And later I will do some more exercising. 

Well, that for the most part has been my day.  I'm off to hotel search!!!  I'll talk with yall later!

Short but sweet

Well, today was an usual Sunday.  I went to Granny's and pigged out.  Today is my one off day from my dieting.  So I took advantage of it.  I did weigh myself and I disappointingly (is that a word?) only lost 2 pounds.  I still say that scale is messed up.  Anywho, the rest of the day was spent looking up hotels to stay in when we go to Florida this summer.  Well, for the most part that was my day.  I am too tired to type anymore.  I hope to update later!!!
