My favorite time of year!


Awe Fall! I love It!! This year I have had a rough season with my garden. I didn't produce nearly what I though I would. I did plant late due to the wall being put in, but I thought that I still would have a good crop. I have been able to make two batches of chili sauce, but would have liked to make 5 or 6. Oh well better luck next year.
So I know I have not been quiet about my diet but just in case you have missed it. I am down 26 LBS! I have to tally the inches but I am at least one pant size down. I am trying to pin or use a belt as needed so I am not buying tons of new clothes that are temporary. My diet costs enough with out me wasting money on clothes.
The Boys stooped their diet the first week, so it has been solo for me. I did allow myself to cheat last weekend for two reasons. One is that I reached 1/4 my goal, and the other is to confuse my body a little so I will keep loosing consistently. I have had the discussion with a few people about saggy skin. I don't have that problem yet but face it I have so much extra weight I am sure to have some! So I called one of my Plastic Surgeons that I bill for, and asked him what the best preventative measure is for this issue. He said that weight training is the best thing to do. I have a weight machine that I need to Finnish setting up in the spare room. That is on the to do list this weekend. I will need the elliptical machine any way now that it is getting cold.
Zack has begun playing soccer (here are a few pics of him with his team). I am surprised how well he is doing. He can run almost the whole game! I do have to bring the albuteral and he usually needs one treatment each game/practice. We have two wins and one tie, we won't discuss the losses. I don't think this is going to be his fav game to play but for now it will do. I think he will be into base ball or football more.
Work is good I have decided to change my schedule again. I will work from 10-5. m-f and 8-4 thurs. It seams to work the best with my life. I have been thinking about what goals I want for my career. I think that I want to work in the AR Support which are the training Staff for all the Clinics. I figure this way I will be able to transition into a Clinic Manager Position someday and thus may be able to work at a clinic that is in a small town so I can have the country life I have always wanted. Well time will tell.
I forgot to mention THANKSGIVING! My plans are DeJongs from 11-2ish and my house 4-7 for Brad's side of the family. Hope to see ya all soon! Love Ya!!!!!

I am so proud of how much you have accomplished!!! I know that dieting is not easy but you are doing fantastic! I love the feeling of being part way to your goal and face it you are getting close! Just keep it up and don't let anyone tear down your resolve!!
I didn't know that Zack was in soccer! When are his games? Could I come to one? I would like that!
