Sometimes goodbyes are good for you

I'm saying

Goodbye

to some extra lbs

that have gradually

come to join me

since last year.

Sneaking their weigh,

I mean... way

into my life...

I've decided to get tough with them,

telling them whos the boss here.

So its hello

to healthier choices...

more leafy greens

and delicious salads.

And trust me,

I will make them

tasty enough to suit my tastes! :)

This is one of the ones I had while away with my daughter

and I've already made the same one since then!

(I added red onions to mine)

Spinach, craisins, sunflower seeds, and calorie-wise poppy seed dressing!

Totally yummy

and healthy

while satisfying my sweet tooth.. :)

Lots of fresh fruit

My very favourite...

raspberries!

and lots of veggies..

and yes, still some sweets,

but in moderation....

I can live with that!

I'd much rather have them in moderation

than not at all!

Gasp!!!

I'm feeling alot better about being

more

in control

and....

the bonus is

I've lost 6.8 lbs.

When we were at the cottage at Easter

last month

I weighed myself

and it wasn't pretty!

It wasn't a total surprise

but it was a reality check.

Don't be trying to guess my weight on this scale

because I purposely have it at a

weigh way lower weight! lol

Just to keep you guessing!!

Just kidding!

I'm meeting together with some sweet friends every week

and we encourage one another,

share our journeys

and let each other know of new food recipes we've tried,

any struggles we've been having during the week,

and ways to help us on this journey we're on

towards living healthier!

We're loving it!

There's nothing like having a support group!

I also have a special friend whos cheering me on!! xo

I love weight-watchers

and especially the new plan they have

which encourages the eating of lots

of fruits and veggies!

Its so good

to be

back

on

track

I know that some of my dear friends here

are on similar journeys...

its so nice to know

that we're on this path together :)

Oh and if you'd like to..

Hunny I'm home!!!

My sweetie and I are back home

and had lots of fun visiting...

This was the biggest adirondack eva!!!

And my sweetie wanted to sit on it!!!

Our weekend was filled with sunshine,

rain,

and lots of love....

Our boys weren't too big on getting their pictures taken this weekend,

so I've got a few

of special moments captured with my sweetie ..

Our sons cat, Friday...

quite possibly the plumpest (shall we say) cat eva! lol

Hmmm..I know the feeling ...

It rained most of the weekend,

so we all did alot of

r e l a x i n g   

:)

Carrie and I went into town on Friday

while the boys were at work

and it was quite lovely...

She captured this while we were outside having lunch on the deck

at a quaint little country shop...

the colour of the water flowing through

was just this lovely

Lunch was absolutely scrumptious,

although my sweetie doesn't like spinach....

she does loves craisins!!

(can you tell?)

Me too!!!

She also captured this

while I was capturing the lunch

to bring on the patio..:)

While browsing she caught this truth too...

The whole four days were wonderful...

two days of sun

and

two of rain,

but all were fun-filled...

We laughed ourselves silly a bunch of times

(I'll spare you the silly details) lol

We even had time for a drive down a country road

and a picture or two...

Hope you all had a lovely

and enjoyable weekend too!

xo

All our love,

Deborah & Carrie
