So much has happened this year

Oh my I don't know where to begin.  I haven't posted since January.  The biggest news is that I now have a new little granddaughter.  She blessed us with her arrival in June.  The other big news is that my son and family moved from St Louis to Tuscaloosa, AL.  He accepted a position with the Univ of Alabama.  They are excited to be in Tuscaloosa, neither had visited the state before this position became open.  As for me I feel a bit lost with them so far away.  St Louis was 4 hours away and now they are 12 hours away or a plane flight.  I am sad.

But the brighter news is my granddaughter, who is a doll.  E her big brother was so excited when she came home from the hospital.

The cutest thing is he gave his new sister his favorite toy, Super Why.  What a moment to remember

On another note still working on getting into better shape.  Work has been absolutely horrid and crazy.  But starting a Simply Fit program that I will tell you more about soon.

Weight Management

I am going to use my blog to document my trials and tribulation with my weight.  I go down and then back up.  I can stay on a diet for a week or two, then gain it all back.  If I buy clothes after I lose weight, then I gain weight and can not wear them.  Why do I do this, why can't I stay on a diet.  I have more diet books than should be allowed.  Recently I have been tuning into Dr. Oz 11 weeks to optimum health.  I read to motivate myself, but it only last so long.  I can be encouraged, but what goes on that causes me to fail.  I know how to eat healthy, lean proteins and vegetables.  Protein with everything.
