HOLY SMOKES......

HOLY SMOKES.....I did not see this coming!! This morning when I stepped onto the scale I saw 183.0 That is the lowest I have ever been. I think I have mentioned in the past that 185 is my goal weight, but I want to live within the 180-185 range. I am so proud of myself and my accomplishment!

St. Patty Day layover in Chicago

On St. Patty's Day I got to have a downtown Chicago layover. A yearly tradition of turning the river green attracts 350,000 people to the city on this day. It was crazy all the people. I posted a few pics here, but you can see the entire album on my facebook wall.

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

Spring Forward......

Don't forget TONIGHT when you go to sleep to "Spring Ahead" 1 hour!! Of course we lose an hour of sleep, but we gain an extra hour of daylight!!

KONY 2012

This 30 min could change the way you think about the world, and its most wanted war criminal, KONY. If you don't know his name, I guarantee you will on, 4/20. Say that name aloud, let it resound and reverberate across the globe. If you do one thing today, watch this video, and share it. Let us demonstrate what humanity, united in common cause, can do.

weight loss update.....

So I have officially reached my goal of 185 and just gone up another notch in my belt. I am going to try to get to 180. And then live by the 180-185 range. Then should I step on the scale, I see 186, I know it will be time to get back on program. I have stuck to my diet since January 1st. I have not cheated once on it. And it has paid off for sure, I feel great. I will be having my cheat week coming up over my birthday, so that will be a great reward for my hard work.

Leap year baby......

Wishing my beautiful Grandmother a Very Happy Birthday. Now being born on Leap year, I think technically I have had more official birthdays than her. She looks pretty good for 39 right?? Anyway, dearest grandma, Dustin and I want you to know we are thinking of you and wishing you lots of joy and happiness on this special day. We love you!!

So you have an EXTRA day this year to do anything you want to, how are you gonna make it count?

Happy Birthday Dustin

Wishing Dustin a Very Happy Birthday today. Even though we won't be together, please know that I will keep you in my thoughts today, just as I do each and everyday. I love you. May all your birthday wishes come true!!

Here's a left over Valentine for you...

LOVE you.....

Wishing all the lovers out there, a Happy Valentine's Day! And to my special Valentine, as I said in my card, Everyday is Valentine's Day when you are married to the love of your life.

Such a sad day....

The icon known as Whitney Houston as been taken from us. At the age of 48, so sad, just really, really sad. I think everyone was hoping someday she would make a comeback. Too bad she will never get that chance. Such a loss.........

Breaking news.......Whitney Houston died at age of 48. How tragic!

The new me.....

I snapped this picture so you could see the new 13 pound lighter me!

At 7:25 a.m. this morning, amidst mostly cloudy skies, and temperatures in the low 30s, Groundhog Phil saw his shadow in the little town of Punxsutawney, Pa. If Phil’s forecast is right, it would signal a dramatic reversal from the mild weather pattern affecting much of the country. Many parts of the central and eastern U.S. have seen temperatures 20 to 30 degrees above normal in recent days. On February 1, just 19% of the Lower 48 had snow cover compared to 52% at this time last year

Sad day for the employees of AA

Today the airline I work for exposed their plans to gut everything from us that they didn't get back in 2003. I should be thankful, and I am that I will still have a job, but a job that I will barely recognize after its all said and done. This is the very first step, of a very long process. How will it affect me personally. To start, my health insurance will jump $183 each month. I will lose my incentive pay which equates to about $600 a month. There will be 100's of changes to the way I do my job. Some are welcome changes, like the ability to fly international, (i have been wanting to tap into that for a while). The elimination of full-month reserve (my on-call status 3 times a year) to having a few reserve days each month. The Biggest blow may be the announcement of transiting to a PBS (basically, everything I do for the bid service) will be going automated. How this affects what I do for the bid service, is yet to be seen. Hopefully there still will be a need for me. In the end, we all expected the cuts and changes to the contract, but across the board, we are all shocked at the depth of the cuts. 20%across the board cut from each department, 13,000 layoffs company wide (2300 flight attendants). But If I have a job, and good health, It will all be workable, just no longer enjoyable!

New Years Resolution Update.

So I am very pleased to inform each of my blog buddies, that for the past 31 days I have stuck to my new year resolution of Low carbs, and NO sugar for the entire month of January.......Let me back up a bit. On October 1st, (becca's wedding) I had reached my weight loss goal of 185 for that special day. In fact, I think we all made our goal for that event. Anyway, 185 on the 1st was the one and only day I was that weight. By October 2nd it was gone. too much fun and good food. Then of course came thanksgiving and Christmas, and before you knew it on December 31st I was back up to 198. I said to myself, " there is NO WAY, I am going over 200 again!!" So I started the Atkins diet for the month of January. 31 days of only 20 net carbs and 0 grams of sugar. How did I do........Today I weighed in at 185.6!!!! I lost 13.1 pounds in 31 days. I am sticking to it a few more days, thinking about rewarding my efforts with a big Superbowl eating blowout on February 5th. I'll let ya know how that all goes down later. It for sure has been tough, but in the end I cannot deny the results. So how are you doing on your new year's resolution??

Super day......

In a nail bitter finish, Tom Brady and his New England Patriots head to Superbowl 46 on February 5th, 2012. With 2 chances in the last 60 seconds of the game for us to lose, NE holds on to take the trip to Indy!! This season has been a bitter-sweet season for the team as the face of the Pat's, Mary Kraft (wife of owner) passed away this year, so this win is in her honor!!

Thanks Becca and Eric.....

Thanks Becca and Eric for the new shirts. We love them as you can see we both wore ours today. They fit perfectly!! You'll have to take us to that store for sure, next time we visit!! Hope you both liked your presents as well. We love you guys. Happy New Year!!
