More time with Daddy since he retired = Priceless.

Let's go out where the green grass glistens

where the sun beats down

and the bullfrogs croak

Where the river water runs

and the heat's so hot

Where it never ever snows

but it sure rains a lot

Let's go out to the Sipsey and fish

walk around on the bank

or jump in the boat

Let's reminisce from when I was a kid

when I dressed up like you

and did what you did

Let's sit on the porch and swing back and forth

and talk about how nice it is

in the middle of nowhere at the end of the day

It's sure nice to be home for a while

Determination is an understatement.

 I finished this workout today in full, and I thought it was gonna kill me, but it didn't! Haha. I'm going to try to stick with this and do it three times a week, and I'm officially giving up soda for real and cutting way back on calories and carbs. I am determined to do this. I've lost over 10 pounds this year already and I'm not done. I want to get back to my high school weight, and dang it I will! Hoping to fit into my prom dress from senior year by the Alpha Gam formal next spring. I think it's a realistic goal. Wish me luck!

Using this as my desktop background as a reminder. This is so true, and I'm guilty of it all the time! But no more. It's time to get fit and be healthy. I'm 20, and it's time to feel young and hot every day, not just when I'm having a "skinny day."

I wish the best of luck to anyone else trying to lose weight! We can do this!
