Beth's WW Journey. (Comments Welcome)

[MIdanceMom]

Hi All,

I didn't work today. DD didn't have school because of election day. We slept in a bit, and we woke up to about 2 inches of snow. Of course we needed to play a bit before the rain came. Kate and I went to Target and macy's. We picked up snow boots and pants, gloves and her holiday dress. I saw a beautiful dress. Red with embroidered flowers and trimmed in brown. katie hated it. She wants a big girl dress. My little girl is growing up. Dh's car broke down, so we had it towed. The estimate is $1000. Gulp. I made a pot of cabbage soup for dinner and took Kate to dance.

These are pics of Kate as Hannah Montana. I put up her first day of school pic, so you can see what she looks like without the cheesy blonde wig. The third pic is from Kate's recital in June. It is my before pic. I have always been camera shy, so pics of me are few and far between.

Ok, I need to get to bed.

Take care,
Beth

Your daughter makes for a great Hannah Montana!! Little pop diva there for sure! Thanks for sharing the pics :

Hope you are having a good day

Great pictures, Beth! Kate looks great as Hannah Montana!

Can you believe this weather? It comes every year, but it seems like I am never prepared for it.

Hope you're having a great week!

Thanks for the comments on Kate. I think she's pretty cute, but I'm partial. I have no idea how to resize the pics, so they are huge. I am just happy it worked. DH is the techie in our family.

Walking the dog in the freezing rain was not a stellar idea. I have a cold. It is just a head cold, so I kept my appointment with my trainer, but called in to work for tomorrow. Priorities, you know.

I cleaned the living room, dining room, and kitchen. I felt I deserved a treat. I did clean when I am sick, you know. I went shopping. I picked up a pair slacks and sweater. The slacks are a size 16, so I am happy.

My session was great tonight. We did a few of the cable machine that kicked my booty a couple of weeks ago. Tonight, they were still a challenge, but I didn't feel like I was dying. I'm making progress.

I am headed to bed early tonight. I want to try to kick this cold.

Tomorrow is more cleaning and a cardio workout. Kate has dance class, and then we are going to Red Lobster for dinner. If Kate has a good report card, she gets to choose the restaurant. She wants grilled salmon for dinner. I am so happy she is not a picky eater. The kid even likes sushi.

Ok, I am off.

Take care,
Beth

Hi everyone,

I am a very lazy person today. This cold is kicking my behind. If I don't feel better, I am headed in to see my doc tomorrow. I think I am developing a sinus infection. On the plus side, the woman I job share with needs next Friday off, so I switched Fridays. I will have to work 4 days next week, but I should be feeling better by then.

I managed to get Kate to school this AM. I then went back to bed. I slept until one. I took the dog for a 2.5 mile walk. I took Kate to dance, and fell asleep in the studio. That is a major feat since it is so noisy. We then went to red Lobster. I wasn't hungry, so I just had a bowl of lobster bisque. I couldn't taste it anyway. No sense in spending $15 on a dinner I can't taste. Now, I am going to take a hot shower and go to bed.

Hope everyone is well.

Take care,
Beth

Hi Guys,

I am feeling much better. I am still a bit congested, but at least I am not is such a fog. At the beginning of the year, I offered to kit out 2 students for winter. DDs teacher called yesterday with a family in need. I went shopping for coats, snow pants, boots, gloves and hats. I lucked into a great sale to boot. When I dropped them off, the secretary asked what was in the bag. I somehow am now in charge of a coat drive at the school. I feel good about doing it, but Lord, I have a lot on my plate at the moment.

Must pack DD for her weekend at Mimi's. Do some laundry. Tonight is my 11th anniversary, but we are celebrating on Saturday. After WI. Ok, must run.

Take care,
Beth

Beth I love your pictures, what a beautiful family you are! Kate is darling and I am so glad you posted the pics, I love to put a face with the name!

You are so amazing, you volunteer, work, work out, are a terrific wife and mom and even cook cabbage soup. You give me hope and make me feel ashamed for complaining!

I am glad you are feeling better, hope today and tomorrow bring a little R&R your way!

Hi All,

I am sorry that I haven't been around. I have been in a cleaning frenzy. I have worked out. yesterday was 90 minutes of cardio. Today I did a session with my trainer and then a 2.5 mile walk. I did endulge a bit last night when we went out to dinner. I had a lovely filet and some mac and cheese. Yummo!!

I found a new website. www.pandora.com It is a online radio site., You enter the bands, songs, you like. It analyzes different song elements and makes stations for you. I have found 4 new bands that I like. It is a free site, but you can subscribe to be ad-free. It is awesome.

Tonight is diiner with the rents.

Ok, I have to run.

Take care,
Beth

 

[AmyBeth68]
