~I Did It!~

Good Morning~
It is 29 degrees here this morning with a wind chill factor making it feel like 18 degrees.. Brrrrr! I hope you all are staying warm and being safe too, if having to be out and about in this cold and snowy weather.. We don't have any snow, but do have the ohhhhh, so cold temps here. Hopefully a warming trend will come soon, for all of us!!

My son Jamie called me this morning on his way driving to work, and he said they've been having alot of earthquakes in California, and that over the past 24 hours, they've been happening quite frequent... He said he'd be sitting there watching tv, and his couch would start to shake, or he'd be in bed, and his bed would shake.. or he'd be eating at his diningroom table, and the table would start shaking...  I guess the earthquakes have been in the 3-4 range on the rictor scale.. Just enough to really notice that something's happening,  I'd say! The last one we had here was close to a 5 on the rictor scale, not very long ago. Wow! I thought my house was going to fall apart from all that shaking! It was so weird.. the inside pressure within the house felt sooo different.. My head felt like when you are having a real bad head cold, where your head feels like a bowling ball..and you're all stuffied up!  Then it was like someone grabbed our house and just started shaking it back and forth.. which seemed to last forever to me! My hubby was a few miles away getting a haircut, and he said that he also felt it there, and said how weird everything was... Kinda scary! This has been the worst earthquake I've felt since living here.. but it doesn't even come close to how it was being in the Tornado I mentioned to you the other day.. Talk about scary! Again... I'll share more of that story with you another time..

Thank you all so much for your comments on my post yesterday! I went to my Weight Watcher's meeting, and I did have a .8 lb. loss. It's not alot, but, at least it was a loss for me. I hope I can just keep it going in that direction from here on out now! Yes Bernie, we can do and work at this weight loss thing together! That'd be great! I also am sharing spunkysuzi's blog link, as she is a great lady to stay motivated with too.. Here is her  link..http://spunkysuzi.blogspot.com/
Lisa, you were wondering where I got the model info... here is the link...http://www.mvm.com/cs/  It really is pretty neat to have an idea as to how others might see you at a certain weight... Let me know if it works for you, okay? Thanks! Here's a picture of my model weighing in at 108 pounds, the weight that I was for twenty years or so...



This is a model of me at 108 pounds~

This is a model of me at my current weight~

This is a model of me at my goal weight~

I don't want to get back down to 108*, but I sure would like to get down to my goal weight or even ten pounds below that if I could...
Hope you don't mind me sharing the same pictures of the two models at my weight now, and the model at my goal weight again with you all..  
                                                           
You all have a wonderful day! Take care & Stay safe and warm!!♥♥

Blessings,
~Lynn
