April - Photos of my apartment...finally

 This is what you see when you come in the door, comfy cozy living room!
 The  TV stand with my wonderfully round 'wormy chestnut' mirror that Cody and Will helped me pick out at Lowe's, they do have nice things! I also got my sun clock there....in the outdoor section.
 Of course, the loo! Notice the heater on the vanity? There is NO heat in the bathroom!
 The home computer side of my office, pink and black...my girly girl office!!  I took the lily photo hanging on the wall to the right. It fits perfectly with my theme.
 The WORK side of my office, as you can see, I am a bit messy when I work!
 I LOVE my bedroom. I love my headboard, Regis Brick Antiques found this for me...I asked him to look for a GIANT headboard and he did not disappoint me!
The patio will look nice after I get some plants, flowers, vines and ground cover going, soon!!
 Grandma Russell's kitchen table has a nice home again! And I took the photo of the beautiful flowers!
 Showing off my red cookware, can you tell red is my 'accent' color.
The living room goes into the dining room...the dining room goes into the kitchen, the kitchen goes into the hall, the hall opens to the bathroom, bedroom, office, utility room and then also to the living room/dining room...sounds like farmer in the dell. I do believe my apartment is bigger than my mobile home and it is very nice here!!

Help Me Please

At weigh in today, I have lost a total of 8 lbs. This week I tried extra hard with the mindset which I think helped immensely. This week alone, I lost 4.6 lbs. With cut up veggies in the fridge, all 'bad for me' food GONE from the house and just a general feeling of "I know this will work". Is that WILLPOWER?


Having a buddy to keep you on track and it works.
Eating sensibly for each meal/snack and it works.
Lose the weight and the energy comes!
Put your mind to the task at hand and it works.
                ---
Make time for yourself.
Enjoy each moment of each day.
                ---
Prepare for unforseen circumstances.

Leave some food on your plate.
Early to bed and early to rise.
Activites, activities, activities
Sleep 8 hours every night.
Eat what you like but control your portions.

I CAN DO THIS!!!
