Hi friends! 3 times in one day, man am I making up for lost time or what? I needed to get away tonight and my precious husband sent me away to do whatever I wanted to do. Isn't he sweet? So, I tried to find a friend to accompany me first, and then decided extrovert or not, I am really happy going places by myself. So, I went to see the movie Julia/Julia by myself. It was such a cute movie. A little bad language but it was overall really good. I enjoyed myself. I picked wherever I wanted to sit and ate popcorn all by myself and drank 1/2 Mr. Pibb and 1/2 Coke Zero. I even ate some Milk Duds. I know, I said I was going to try and lose 20 pounds by October but I think 1/2 of me losing it is confessing to you that I did that! ;o) So, I will start again tomorrow and try and be a little better and exercise a little harder.
So, in this movie a girl named Julia is blogging as she tries to make Julia Child's recipes from her cookbook. She has a heart for writing and decided that since she wrote a book and no one published it, she would just start blogging. I won't tell you the rest, so you can see the movie yourself. However, it got me more pumped up about writing/blogging. I realized that I love blogging when I am telling you all about my people and the things we did or were doing. Then it dawned on me that I didn't start doing that until 2 years into my time in Mexico. Hmm..... I have a lot of stories NONE (or almost none) of you have heard. So, I thought I could start bringing to life some of the very fun and interesting stories that went on in 2006 and 2007.
It will be a little hard writing them in the present since they did happen in the past, but I will do my best to make it as interesting as possible. Ya know, all of you out there, you faithful blog readers, I really do feel connected to you in some weird sort of sisterly way. Maybe brotherly too, I don't know how many of you are men, I do know a few men read this, but I don't know how many. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read and I will bring back to your memory all of the wonderful people that are so vivid in my mind. Or maybe I will be introducing you for the first time. Either way, enjoy! Love, Missy

About the dieting thing - - - it's okay to indulge in "guilt" foods. Just work on portion control and good choices on other days. Try to add raw produce in your day whenever possible.
ReplyDeleteIf I lose 1/2 pound every two weeks, I am happy. That would be 12 pounds in one year! It will be easier to keep it off when it is lost slower.
Thanks for writing. I love to read your blog.
Thanks Misslynda! I do those things too, but my 20th high school reunion is in 2 months, not one year so I gotta up my game some! I will follow your advice, excercise and just see what happens! Thanks for reading! Love, Missy
