So....my husband and I decided to invite our godchildren over for the weekend.  They are ages 5,4, and 3.  Two boys and a girl.  We planned activities for the weekend that included shopping, a Diva Day for the girl, a trip to the barber shop for the boys, playing in the park, the backyard, bike riding, a trip to the ice cream shop AND chalking the driveway.  IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!  I felt great.  I had energy to burn keeping up with these little folks.  A year ago, we started planning this visit.  We could never do it because I didn't have the energy and I spent most of my weekends in bed.  But this weekend was so great...I was able to play and have fun....I wore THEM out!!!!!  ROTFL

So since I have lost 100 lbs and working out on my Wii...my husband has started working out.  I finally got him up and moving.  I managed to get him to watch the Oprah show about diabetes and he was affected by it enough to start running again.  But the other day he was out running and I was Wii-ing.  When he came back from his run I was on the last part of my workout...the P-Run.  Well he walked past me heading to the bathroom and stopped.  He just stood there while I was running with my Mii (the Wii character).  After I was done, I asked him why was he staring at me.  He said, I've never seen you move like that before.  LOL I told him to just watch out cause I AM ON A ROLL!!!! 

This weekend was great.  It has been a long time since I could go out shopping and walk for several hours.  Saturday was great.  I spent 3 hours walking in Hobby Lobby and then I went to Walmart and walked around shopping with my husband.  Just last year I was riding in one of those scooters to get around in the stores.   Can't tell you how embarrassing that was....  I couldn't stand or walk for more than 30 minutes. 
Now I can walk with the best of them!!!!! 

Well I'm sure everyone just LOVES working out.  NOT!!!!  I was having a difficult time getting motivated.  I had the walking videos, the treadmill, the walks through the neighborhood.  But I could not make myself get up and do something everyday.  Well I was talking to a co-worker and she told me about her Wii Fit game.  Now I had seen the ads for the Wii and wanted to get one.  After talking to my co-worker, I went online and made the purchase. 

Let me tell you it is so much fun.  I get a full body workout, entertainment, and weight loss tracking.  This system is great.  and the best part about it????  It addictive!!!!!!  I rush home to Wii everyday.  So I'm looking to drop another 25 lbs here very shortly.  Oh and the folks in my office have notice my weight loss.... Some of them are talking about getting Wii systems now. 

Well I have been thinking of cutting off all my hair.  It has been shedding for a few months now.  About two months ago, I went at it with the scissors and removed all of the length.  Then I started wearing my various hair pieces and wigs.  However as you know, it is devil hot in the ATL.  So about two weeks ago I went all the way.  I cut all of my hair off!!!  I feel great.  I've been told by co-workers that I look regal....lol.  I don't know about all that but I am enjoying the freedom!!!!
