Can you believe it...

that I have now lost 45.4 pounds in 29 weeks? I am so proud of myself for keeping with this program and losing all of this weight. I feel so much better physically and mentally about myself. I am looking forward to Relay this year and keeping my end of the bet with my WW leader to run a lap around the track.

What if...

"You have won $5000 in hotel and frequent flyer air miles"

"You have ONLY 48 hours to spend it"

"You can take one person along for the ride" "It can't be your spouse"

"So what are ya gonna do???"

Wow I could not take Corey with me what a bummer, love to travel with my hubby!! Okay so who would I take with me that would have to be Carrie and we would hide Amy in a suitcase. Our first stop would be New York City, would take in a Broadway show and go to Time Square. Then off to Washington D.C. have to see the capital just once in my life time. Then our last stop Las Vegas, where we could be more wild and crazy then we already are. The whole time we would be snapping pictures to remember this great time together.

Blog Challenge 34 & 35

#35
So for Friday's challenge Lisa wants us to blog about our favorite teacher(s). I have had so many good teachers that I can not blog about just one of them. I had Mrs. Ashcraft in elementary school that helped me with my reading, I was not at the same level as the rest of my class. Then in middle school I had two teachers that really encouraged me. Mr. Middleton encouraged us to become voters the one chance to have a voice with our vote. It was 1988 and we where talking about the elections and voting and the US government. At the age of 18 I became a registered voter. Then there was Mr. Correa he was one that encouraged me to do and be anything that I wanted. I could really talk to this teacher. High school WOW way to many to list but the one teacher that I really liked was Mr. Kligel my math teacher my freshman and senior year he taught me to not stress about taking a test to treat it as a worksheet. Thank you to all the teachers who made a contribution to me.

Lisa wants to the Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How of our lives.

Who pushes your buttons? There is a few but the one that I seem to deal with the most lately is my coworker not being able to do her job correctly.

What make you crazy? All the dog hair. With having two dogs that shed I have to vacum every other day.

Where were you when you last lost your temper? At work!!

When is your crazy time of day? I really do not have a "crazy" time of the day.

Why do you blog? Because I can and I like to blog. My friends and family are able to see what we are up to.

How do you chill out? Depends on the type of day I have had. I may read, scrap, or watch some tv. Working out after work gets rid of most of my work stress before I go home.
