got one !!!

My Dad , Garret and I went to the Ferry Plantation house this past week . I had never been there before and didn't even know it existed until I was looking on line for things to do . I was so excited about it I love history and true mystery . We learned so much about the history surrounding the house and the area . We saw really neat artifacts and I love archaeology it's so exciting to see things from the past and imagine who, what, where and when . 

A hard week --- down 2.8 lbs

This past week was really tough some things were good and some were just very difficult to bare . I'm still on the path to positive changes though . Some things are in the works to help the situation .

My strength and will power was tested several times this past week  a few times I wanted a cigarette but I would then think of how it's been six months this Monday since I kicked the habit, I cant go back to that ! Exercise , eating right  and cigarettes will not mix well together.

ohh ! and I found these babies at the farmers market , can't wait to eat them ! White Eggplant

I realized this past week that I have a lot strength emotionally and physically . I thought for sure that I wasn't progressing with my weight loss but I went  in this morning to weigh and I lost 2.8 lbs . Seriously ! I was shocked not because I didn't follow  but because I was so negative and not very confident  of my efforts . We did go to Busch Gardens and I tracked my walking and watched what I ate . My Brother in love ( taken from Cyndi   I just love how she calls the in love instead of in law )  and sister gave me a bike !! so happy so happy !!!  Garret and I are looking forward to riding together . So here are my meeting notes for today.
