A nice quiet day to start off the long Labor Day weekend. So far I’ve done very well, I haven’t buried my face in the peanut butter jar even once!! (But let’s face it… it’s only Saturday) I made sure there is plenty of fresh fruit in the fridge. There are snack baggies with single servings of almonds in the cupboard. Yoplait Whips in the freezer for that sweet fix. I think I’ve got my bases covered. I can get thru this weekend with out a gain! Unless someone wants to drop off a bag of M&M’s… I’d have to accept them…. it’s rude not to accept a gift. So?…

Del Mar horse races: WAY more fun when you #1. you WIN…. #2. You actually learn a little about how to bet…. did you know that just because a jockey wears your favorite color doesn’t mean that they will win?!?!? Also….. the last race is NOT the time to pick 6.

I am down another TWO POUNDS!!! For a total of 13 pounds. I am so excited! Kaki and I walked again this morning. Weighted vest (Extra weights added). I’ve been careful with my carbs and sugar intake. Slow but sure it’s comin’ off. Now the trick is…. not gain anything on the long weekend. PLEASE!!!!! I need to stay busy and not munch away my 2 pound loss. So if you see me in public with food….. never mind…. I may bite you if it’s something I really REALLY want. So never mind…… so for right now…. Happy DANCE!!

I know that Wednesdays are my blah blah blah weekly update day but Kaki has been on vacation all week….. so I slept in….. today I actually over slept and didn’t have time to weigh this morning. (It’s ALL Kaki’s fault! No walks….. sleeping in…….over sleeping…. Kaki is in SO MUCH trouble tomorrow morning!!) But, I will do my update tomorrow. For now, I’m wondering why, when I KNOW I have an important event coming up (known for a year!) WHY WHY WHY do I wait till the last month before I decide “Okay seriously let’s POWER DIET now! Cause I can loose 20 pounds this month…. rrrrighhhtt…. me that’s…

I thought I should share some numbers with you…… Today is September 1st. Which means there are 84 days till Thanksgiving……….. 85 days till Black Friday!!! (I love BLACK FRIDAY!!!) and 113 days till Christmas! I thought you would like to know! You are soooooooo WELCOME!! I knew you would appreciate the information.

My darling daughter Selena says I sure have a lot of excuses not to exercise. Well….. HELLO!??!?! I’ve got 51 YEARS worth stored up!! (Okay that might be a slight exaggeration I didn’t start exercising straight from the womb…. but I’m sure I was starting my list of excuses then! Just like thinking of places to stash M&M’s and Oreo cookies. It takes talent to hide them from siblings, children and other loved ones!) I did very well today food wise, but I’ve been bad about my water lately. So that’s my goal for tomorrow drink 8 glasses of water. (You would think with as hot as it’s been, water…
