Its Friday It's Friday!!!
I love Fridays. Its the end of the work week for a lot of people, and once school starts, the end of the school week. It is an ending for a whole slew of things. It is a beginning of things too!! It's the beginning of a nice weekend off for those who are blessed with a 9 to 5 Mon through Fri work week. Its a wonderful 2 days with out school!! Its a beginning for some people to start their diets.
It is my official weigh in day. Its also my PT day and my gym pool day!! It's my Firehouse Friday!!! Tomorrow I will be 56 years old, and I intend on going to Olive Garden for Supper!!! Every Christmas, Tony, the office manager at my husbands job, gives us a gift card to either Olive Garden, or some other restaurant. We generally use it for our Anniversary. Well, we missed going out to dinner this year, so we are going to use it for my Birthday!! Awesome!! Its been a while since we ate there. The last time, the hubs let the servers know and they brought me a tiramisu and sang Happy Birthday!! I adore that hubs of mine!!!
Teskandar made a comment to me that when I stumble I don't go very far. Yes I stumble and fall, everyone does at one time or other. I pick my self up, dust myself off and tell myself to watch where I'm going so that I don't trip over the same thing again.
That is the way I used to be. Somewhere along the way, I got kind of blind and lazy. I would lay there after falling, beat myself up a whole lot for falling in the first place, then give up and say I'll never be thin again, I'll never be able to wear that dress again, blah blah blah blah blah.
Yep. I would try to lose weight, go on a diet I KNEW I would quit. I would therefor lose 5, maybe 10 pounds, falter, fall hard and give up, gain those 5 to 10 pounds back, plus another 10 to 15 more!! . I finally have put that person behind me. I think when I finally quit smoking for the umpteenth time, and have been smoke free for 5 1/2 years, (takes a bow) that I realized I CAN do something and make a change in my life. The first big change was getting married to my beloved hubby. I know, kind of mushy there huh. Well, we have been married 18 years now, and we have never had a real argument. But that's another story.
He helped me to see that if I want to do something, all I have to do is put my mind to it and decide that THAT is what I'm going to do. He helped me see that when I quit smoking. He kept telling me it was all in my head, meaning that all I had to do was decide not to smoke. I fought with that notion for a while, coming up with all kinds of excuses and reasons it was so hard to quit!!! Then after about 6 months, the light came on, and I said "well sh*t he's right" Had the little epiphany sort of thing. I haven't smoked since!!
Well, I had the same sort of epiphany with losing weight. I figured if I could quit smoking, I could do the same thing and approach it the same way with losing this weight. I just have to keep motivated, and keep it in my head that the more I lose, the better I'll feel and the better I'l be able to breathe and walk.
That is enough for this morning!! I have to go to the Dr. I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!!! Have fun today!!!
