playing catch up today (dpp [day 21])

The only thing making if feel like Christmas today was wearing my favorite Christmas socks. I think our thermometer topped out at 73° today. Warm, windy, with intermittent rain. This is Winter Solstice 2013 in GA...not bad, not bad at all. I will take any warm weather day in the winter that comes my way and embrace it lovingly!

As for how I spent the first day of winter...after a morning cleaning house, laundry, and dishes...I went to see my ~~therapist~~ hair stylist for a long, overdue haircut. Met a friend to browse through the Dollar Tree with me because I needed more gift tags and ribbon. Made it out of the store for with only 12 items...not bad since I haven't been there in about a year.
This is where it gets really good...
My workout for the day...stacking this:



Cool down...a walk in the woods...looking for mistletoe, but discovering Christmas tree future...

and Christmas tree past...


before finding my mistletoe...


Unless we shoot it out of the tree, getting kissed under this mistletoe is going to require some walking to get there first. :)
Winter, you're arrival has been kind. I thank you! Longer daylight ahead with promise of Spring to come.

#TransformationTuesday

"But God has surely listened and has heard my prayer." Psalm 66:19 As one who has struggled with weight all of my life, seeing the ups and downs in jean sizes became my reality. I would lose some pounds only to face a stressor in life and see them return and bring friends along for the ride. I spent years believing lies, yet secretly hoping for a better reality. Lies that I am not capable of overcoming my sweet tooth and that I am just not the workout type, topped the list. I have never really lacked self esteem or self confidence; I know who I am. However, I know from personal experience, others define me by what they first see. Having been a plus-size lady for years, I was treated differently, intentionally or not, when I dropped pounds. My health journey to where I am today began back in 2010. It is amazing that things do not happen accidentally, even if they seem to in the beginning. Actually, as the pieces of my story have come together, this story begins w

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here. I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta. The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart. I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball. Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very disappointing), organ music to lead you to yell &q

Go. Be. Do.
