On the weigh down....

My weight loss journey continues to be wonderful. I've lost 58.5 pounds, so I figure I'm over half way there. My clothes are all too big, except for a few that I save from the last time I was smaller. We'll be heading to Florida for a visit within the next two weeks, so I'm looking forward to some shopping with my mom!

I really have a different view of food now. I've dieted soooo many times, but this time is very different. I still don't eat much, and have to make sure I drink a protein shake every day to get my protein in. There is no way I could do it otherwise! I passed a milestone recently, and my hubby was saying that we needed to celebrate it...however I wanted. Well, I can tell you, before this, I would have been figuring out where to go out to eat, even if I was dieting. But now I don't find food to be celebratory. It's just not that interesting anymore. So I guess I will have to figure out what else we can do. A movie in the theatre would be great!

Speaking of visiting Florida, here we go again. It just seems that right now, that's where the jobs are for Louie. He is looking to change careers, and the Lord may be opening some doors for him, but right now the door is open to Florida. I just hope we'll get a little cool weather while we are there, since we'll be missing it here.

The leaves are changing colors here, and they are beautiful. Since moving here in 2004, this is only the second time we've seen the fall. We saw it in 2004, but then it was late in 2005 so we had already gone to Florida, and then last year we were already in Florida and stayed past the colors. I'm glad to be here this year, so we can appreciate the beautiful fall season, and not JUST have to rake the leaves up!

We're heading to drive the Appalachian Parkway on Sunday with my brother and sister in law, Frank and Sherri. It's supposed to be a nice day, so I'm looking forward to it.

Happy Fall Y'all!!!
