Can You Say, "Squishy, Squishy"?

Today at 3:00 I am having my first mammogram. Have no idea whats ahead of me, and I am a little nervous. I will be sure to let you all know how it goes. It is of course a good thing for me to do. I pray everything is ok!

Where did I go?

I kept trying over and over again to take my picture, and it just wouldn't work. I would have posted a picture for you all to see, but I guess I am just too darn slim. I lost 7 pounds and its like I vanished. Ha ha- So after 3 days on my little eating adventure, I have lost 7 pounds. Wait let me clarify, I should have called it a non-eating adventure. I am starving. 3 meals a day, with out ANY snacking and only water to drink. I would rather die. I am going to hang in there a while longer so that my shorts aren't so tight anymore. Then it will have to be time for plan b. I do get to eat steak tonight, but the only thing you get to have with it is celery, and olives and black coffee. I have to say I really miss my coffee in the morning with my creamer and splenda. I also miss my Crystal Light. Drinks are very important in my life, as you can see. So enough complaining. I got myself into this mess of my shorts being too tight. And I am thankful that the plan is working. We will see how the weekend goes.
On a separate note, tonight is Charles first football game. He is the Head Varsity Coach, for Cheyenne H.S. here in Las Vegas. His team was put on the list of the top 20 high schools in the west to watch this season. He says they have a good team, but the one thing they are lacking is their kicking game. No one to kick field goals, or punt. This can pose a serious problem. I will let all my adoring fans know how they did tomorrow.

Good 1st Day

Just a quick note this morning. Weighed myself this morning and after the 1st day of the cleanse, I lost 4.5 pounds. Not bad at all. I guess I will attempt to stay on it again today. I will keep all of my adoring fans posted, don't you worry.

Miah's Photos

Well, last week I never got any pictures of Miah posted. Took a couple this morning, and thought I would actually post them. I was real proud of Miah, because yesterday she wanted her hair straightened out again. She actually did all the blow drying herself, and then I did the flat ironing and curling. It was a huge help. She was excited too- It's been real humid here, so no sense in trying to wear her hair down.
I don't want to sound too negative, but I am miserable on this cleanse. More than food, I really want to be able to drink some Crystal Light. I am in love with that stuff. I feel as good as can be expected. It's not easy, and I want to quit. But I think I will charge on. Guess what, I drank carrot juice today, and it was actually ok. I wonder if I will have lost anything by tomorrow? Hopefully 20 pounds. Ttyl-

Labor Day Weekend

Saturday, Madison celebrated her 12th birthday. She invited a handful of friends to go to the Mandalay Bay Hotel Pool. They have this awesome set up, with a wave pool, lazy river, and a couple of pools. We have a good friend, D. Biddy, who is a manager there who gave us the pool passes. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures at the actual pool, because I didn't want to bring my camera since I was swimming too. This is a picture of Madison and her friends at the house before we left.
Sunday, we had an awesome time at church in the morning, and then a great relaxing rest of the day. I had a great nap. It was one of those naps when you try and wake up and your body just won't let you. My head felt like it weighed 110 pounds. I mean I know my butt does, but not my head! Mikelle lost her 2nd tooth on Sunday. Two in the same week-
Today, I took the girls swimming in the early afternoon. Then, I had to meeting, and Charles took them to Grazianos. It's basically like a Chuck e Cheese. So the kids had a pretty full day.
Tomorrow I am starting the Mayo Clinic Diet. The first 3 days is a cleanse. Oh my goodness. I did this diet one time years ago. It was hard. I hated it. But I did have pretty good instant results. Trying to get into some clothes for girls get a way weekend. Wish me luck. If anyone wants me to post the diet, let me know. I will post my results, if I stick to it.

Exciting News

 

Not only was it the 2nd day of school for Mikelle, she also lost her 1st tooth!! She is very excited for the tooth fairy. She was very nervous about pulling it out. It was just hanging there by a thread. I was afraid she would end up swallowing it, if she didn't get it out. So, she got real brave and pulled it out. Yeah, for Mikelle-

More Pictures

Here is a picture of Madison from the 2nd day of school. Yesterday she received 2 big boxes of clothes from her cousin, Caroline. What a blessing- We have been getting her clothes for 12 years!! Hopefully, Caroline keeps growing for a while. Lol! Madison had a great day yesterday, she really liked her teachers, and had atleast 1 friend in every class. I didn't get any pictures of Miah this morning because my husband locked his keys in the car- in the ignition- so after he finally got the keys out, the battery was dead. So in the midst of getting Miah off to school, my neighbor was over with his jumper cables, etc... and I just forgot. Tomorrow, Miah!
