Let's see now...Oh, I need to tell you what Bruce got me for christmas...I got a new flat screen computer monitor (22inch) This thing is huge!! I love it. And I got a new set of Altec Lansing computer speakers, these babies will rock now let me tell ya, bass like you wouldnt believe! Shakes my whole desk! LOL Also got some odds & ends things like perfume & clothes, kids got me some new slippers & a beautiful lighted fountain to sit on my desk, it is leaves & the water runs down into a bed of rocks...Bruce & I spent 8 hours of painting on adhesive, waiting till tacky & then adding gold leaf to it...The fountain now looks like it is solid gold. Bruce liked his massager I got him, and all the other odds & ends he got too. The kids made out like bandits as usual! LOL Kim really loved her Ilive boom box & Turk really likes his MP3 touch player. So I guess everyone got what they wanted for the most part.
Turks visit went well, although he didnt visit much with us. He stayed at his Dads most of the time. He seemed to enjoy hisself though & that is what matters most. Kim goes for her first visit to the university on the 17th of this month (Sat after next) I really do hope she enjoys it. I really want to see her make something of herself.
Bruce & I started off the new year with going on a diet LOL...We started the cabbage soup diet last Monday (the 5th) So far I have lost 2.5 lbs in only four days!! (Yippy for me!) Bruce says he feels better now than he did when he started, so thats a bonus, I dont really feel any different, but maybe I will by the end of the week. We are going to do it on a week off a week, but eat VERY sensibly during the week we are off it. I didnt buy any meats except fish & chicken breasts, and no junk foods or high fat foods at all, if we dont have them we cant eat them!
I really do hope we can get this weight off again & this time stay eating sensibly & exercising. I started out slowly with that, only doing a few sit ups & some squats & arm lifts for now. I am going to drag out the old stationary bike though & get some leg exercises in on it...hoping to build up some leg muscle so I can start walking again come spring. Thats when the weight will come off a lot better. Hope I can stick with this for life this time!!
I am also hoping I can get Kim to join us in this diet & to start exercising too, she really needs it as much as we do, her sugar is starting to stay elevated & she is going to be diabetic if she dont start doing something about it now. Although I dont know how I can get her Dad to start cooking better foods & to watch the portion thing for her...I am going to see if her Dr will refer her to a nutritionist so she can at least learn what a right portion of food is. I know she can do this if she really wanted to. She is such a beautiful girl, and so smart, I hate to see her downed by a disease like diabetes, or any thing else that could go wrong from the extra weight she is carrying, I know I struggle so much with mine & it is a continual thing that never seems to get better, only keeps getting worse. I really hope she will do this with us.
Well ,anyway, I guess thats enough for now, will write again as soon as there is more to write about. LOL
