Sit Around or Get Moving??????

So I gained weight this past week. I am not surprised with all the pumpkin cookies I ate! But boy, oh boy were they ever good. So I sit here today, feeling a little down and fat, thinking about how I am feeling. I came to the conclusion that I have two choices. I can...

#1 - Sit around and feel sorry for myself and about how I feel

OR

#2 - I can get off my butt, get to the gym, eat right and lose this weight, making me feel better about me.

So Monday I am embarking on the journey yet again. The journey to a new, better, healthier, thinner me.

Just for Ten Days

Just for ten days I knew what it was like to be pregnant.

Just for ten days I was excited about the life growing inside of me.

Just for ten days I wondered, boy or girl.

Just for ten days I thought about what name we would give our child.

Just for ten days I dared to dream.

Ten glorious days

Turned to sadness

Then to, God gave hope

And we continue on

Just 10 days

I would not change.

One of my Hobbies

I just realized that I have not really posted about one of my hobbies...flower gardening. I love to garden. I get so excited when I see my bulbs start to come up in the Spring, closely followed by my perennials. I love being able to plant my annuals and watch them grow as well. However, I tend to get a little sad in the Fall when I know the end of the flowering season is coming. Just at the right time my Mums take over and make me smile again.

Having a beautiful garden is no easy task. In the fall pulling out, trimming back and mulching takes a lot of time. In the Spring the beginning of weeding, Spring into Summer...more planting and more weeding. Who could forget the watering? Dry summers are tough, watering every night or morning is quite a chore but well worth it when the beautiful results are seen.
