Hey bloggers!  Hope you had a great weekend.  I attended my nieces's wedding in Kentucky and it was wonderful!  She was beautiful, he sang to her, my brother danced, I got to spend 6 hours in the car with my youngest son, laughing, joking, dancing, singing and rapping (yes I rapped, freestyle and I have to say for a white girl I did pretty good) AND a family member noticed I had lost weight.  Could not have been a better day!  Sunday was work and worship all tied into one as I went to a church to speak about foster care.  Today was just work (boo).  I weighed this morning at 247 lbs which is a total weight loss of 41 lbs.  So the weight loss has definitely slown down.  I have done well dieting this passed week, in fact, I had stomach virus and was unable to keep food down for two days.  So I guess now I have to kick the exercise into gear (BOO).  When I was young and thin I loved to exercise, I ran everyday, I would love to run again, but now I am physically unable.  Running would probably cause a cardiac infarction!  I guess I will settle and walk...and now's a good time because our agency is having a competition with our other agencies across the state to see which office can walk the most.  I guess I should be a "team player" and do my part instead of putting my pedometer on my dog (what?  I thought it was a great idea!)  Anyway, walk, walk, walk, why don't I want to walk?  It's simple...I'm FAT!!!  I don't like to sweat!  And, I'm FAT!  HELP!  I need an exervention!  (for all of you who do not speak "kesha" that's an exercise intervention).  Where are my motivators???  Somebody make me get my big butt (oh, by the way, I wore a dress to the wedding I wore to my son's graduation a year ago and although it looked a lot better from the front, my butt really stuck out!  I just can't seem to get it to cooperate with this weight loss thing) and exercise!  Where is Richard Simmons when you really need him?  And why did he name that stupid video sweatin to the oldies?  He could hav called it slimmin to the oldies, then I might have been deceived enough to actually do it!  Ok, I need suggestions, inspiration, motivation, a kick in the hiney, whatever you got.  Don't weight, HELP NOW!
