~Not As Bad As I Had Thought It'd Be~

Hello! Well today I went to my Weight Watcher's meeting... and I did gain 4 1/2 pounds while I was on vacation, but, I am now back on track, starting today and hopefully will be on the losing end of my weight loss regimen again.. I didn't gain as much weight as I thought I would though, which was really great! I left my meeting today, feeling not so guilty about my weight gain! I even walked back to my car with a bounce in my step...  I feel great!!  I think I done good for being off my weight watcher's for about a little over a month! But, I must say it seems really great to be back on track once again with my Weight Watcher's way of life eating too! I enjoyed all and everything that I had to eat while on vacation, no doubt about that whatsoever!! It all tasted sooo delish!!  A great BIG "Thank You" to all the great cooks who cooked for me! I highly enjoyed every single bite!!

I hope your day has been a good one too!

Blessings,

~GOOD MONDAY AFTERNOON!~

Good Monday afternoon to you! I hope you had a nice weekend. Dan and I didn't do much of anything on Saturday. We went to Church on Sunday, and then we went to Dong A for lunch with Daniel and his friend Tim.. I ordered the Beef Bulgogi... Everything was real good as always!

Here it is the last week of September already! These months and days are just totally flying by! Tomorrow I've got to go to Weight Watcher's, as I haven't been there all month, and Lord really knows that I want to still keep my Lifetime membership there, as I have some needed pounds that I'd like to come off!!

Sunday, Dan and I went shopping at JC Penny's and got in on alot of good deals! I found some real neat looking placemats that I now have on my table.. I also found a real pretty white plate with a leaf etching that I used to place some fall gourds in.. I found a few pretty summer tops too!!

Here is a closeup picture of one of the placemats.. 

The placemats are like daisy designed and interconnected..The place mats are made out of wood pieces..  Real pretty! Just something new and different for me to look at and enjoy...    

You all have a great day and Thank You so much for stopping by and visiting!

~Happy Hump Day!~

Here it is Wednesday already! The days are flying by so it seems!  My goodness, the weekend will be here before we know!

Today I'm doing laundry... and I've got to go get my flu shot around 3pm today.. I got one last year and it really did seem to help.. I'm not sure if my Hubby is going to get his today with me or not. I'll have to wait and see.

I went to my cardiologist this past Monday, and he says that I'm doing well.. Thank Goodness!! I feel great! He'd like to see me again in 6 months.. He wasn't real happy with my weight gain... as neither am I.. but, that's okay.. I am planning on taking all my extra weight off that I've gained back on me... Hopefully!

I didn't make it to my weight watcher's meeting yesterday... I'll just go next Tuesday, since I only need to go once a month now anyhow..since I'm a Lifetime member with them..

Not much else going on... The sun is shining outside so pretty... and we are to get in the low 90's today.. It's still like summertime here! The leaves on my Bradford Pear tree are turning their fall colors though.. I'll have to take a picture and share it with you... It is looking real pretty! I always have loved the fall season with all the gorgeous fall colors that are outside! I remember always looking forward to fall, especially when I lived back in Pennsylvania.. the fall colors there were absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking to see!!

You all take care now, and have a wonderful day! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting with me!

My Blogging Friends & Family, I'm Back Home From My Three Week Vacation In California!

Hello Everyone!
I had a wonderful vacation and time with my two adult kids who live in California! I had three great weeks of being with them and seeing and doing so many neat things together! Gosh, let me see, we went to see the Willie Wonka play in Carmel, Ca., we went to Capitola Beach and ate at a fantastic restaurant near the beach, Beverly and I went to Monterey Beach and ate at Bubba Gump's and shopped all the fantastic shops around there, went to Karaoke at Charles home, which was such a fun time and we also went to Karaoke in San Jose. We went to visit Jamie's High School for the day, which was awesome watching him being a High School Principal in action! Jamie and I also went to visit the Middle School where he was Principal last year and I saw the beautiful Garden Memorial for Larry Newman that Jamie had made in Larry's memory.. We went to the movie to see Eat, Love & Pray, went to visit with my daughter's and my friend Amy, went to Cohn- Stone Studios in Richmond, Ca, to a blown glass factory which was very awesome to see how they make all the beautiful glass wares! Everything was sooo beautiful in their shop!! We also visited Jack London Square, which has his log cabin home on its site, which was brought from Yukon. We also visited an antique bar called Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon that was in the Eathquake and the bar itself is slanted from the after effects of the earthquake and they left the bar in the same condition as it ended up having after the earthquake. It had alot of membrabrila for one to check out.. We went to Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz which was pretty neat to see! I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to walk up to the house that was built there or not.., but I did! Thank goodness for the hand railing for one to hold on to that's for sure! We went to see ~Meatloaf ~who performed at the Silver Legacy Cassino in Oakland.. He did put on a great show! We went to a fantastic BBQ pork rib cookoff in Oakland, which smelled and tasted delish! We went to a few great restaurants too which served fantastic tasting food! Michele and Jamie also had real delishious food that they served at their homes too! Sooo very good!! As you read, I had one fantastic time with Michele and Jamie and all their friends!! "Thank you" so much Jamie and Michele, and each one of your friends for the really fun and wonderful time that you all gave me!! Your Mom enjoyed everything sooo very much!! I will treasure these new memories that we've made forever!!

The flight back home went well.. I left San Jose airport at 11am, then went to LA airport and then went to our airport.. I had one full day.. The plane rides were good, and there was just a little bit of turbulance on the last flight, which wasn't bad really.. I got home around 9:15pm..

I've had a bit of jet lag these past few days... I'm doing much better today! Got to, as today I go to my cardiologist for my appointment at 2:45pm.. I feel great, and hope that he agrees with me on that one! He's probably going to be disappointed in me for gaining a few extra pounds since I last saw him, but, that's okay, I can get myself back on track, as I plan on going to my Weight Watcher meeting starting again tomorrow!

While I was away, my youngest son Daniel and my Hubby got me a 23.6" wide screened monitor, which they said was my birthday present, that was late.. which is soooo very awesome indeed!! I love it!! My other monitor was a 15", so this one really looks huge to me!! I'm so excited and  tickled!! Thank you both so much!!  I can't express enough what a wonderful and loving family I have!! Thank You Dear Lord Jesus for giving them all to me!!

You all take care now, and it's great being back blogging with you all again! I will share pictures with you all real soon!

Blessings,
~Lynn
