I just wanted to wish all of you a Blessed Holiday! May all your wishes and dreams come true for you in the new year to come. We are doing the usual. We will be driving to New Mexico early in the morning. Then we will drive back the day after. It is a short trip, but we are very grateful to be able to spend every Christmas with our children and grandchildren. This year will be a little different. My husbands uncle passed away early this morning, so I’m sure that my inlaws won’t have much of the holiday spirit in them. The good thing is, that they just love our grandbabies to death and the babies seem to bring the best out of everyone. I’m sure it will be okay. We can’t skip Christmas. It just wouldn’t be fair to the kids. It sure does make me realize how special each day is and how important it is to spend as much time with your friends and family. 
Sending lots of love and hugs your way, Dreama 
PS.  I’ve still been doing my walking and keeping up with my water intake.  The dieting is still not happening, but like I said, I’ll jump back on it after Christmas.

Happy Sunday!

Good morning! I just weighed myself. I couldn’t wait until tomorrow. lol! I lost one pound. Not bad, for not sticking to my diet. I’ve been really good about my walking. I push myself to get on and I always think, at least 30 minutes will be good. But then I end up pushing myself to an hour. I feel so tired when I get on, but then when I’m on it’s easy to stay longer. Funny, huh! I’m happy with the one pound, since I didn’t think I was losing any. If I can stay where I’m at until after Christmas, I’ll be happy just not to gain. I will be ordering the hip hop abs after the first of the year. I think I would really like it. Everyone seems to really enjoy it. I love to dance, so I think it would be good for me. Maybe I can get my grandson dancing and that would really tire him out. It’s harder for him to get excercise when he’s indoors all day. He’s got so much energy. I just can’t keep up. Well buddies, I better get my day started. I hope all of you are doing good this weekend. Hang in there. We can do this! Have a great day!

lots of love and hugs, Dreama

Snow pictures!

Hello to all my buddies! Just stopped by to post my pics real quick. I’ve been cleaning house and doing laundry all day. And trying to upload these pictures from my camera. Finally got it done. Now it’s time to do my walking. Hope all of you are doing great. The weekend is half way over. I’ll weigh in on Monday. Hopefully it won’t be to bad. I’ve been trying to stay active and not eat any junk. Have a great night! And stay strong!

love and hugs, Dreama

We found the snow! Yaayyy!

Here’s a few pictures from my phone camera. I took some with my digital, but I need to upload them. I will do that tomorrow and share with everyone. I hope all of you had a great day. I sure did. My grandson had a blast. It’s the first time he’s ever seen snow. Have a great night!

(I’m going to try to post these on here. If it doesn’t work, I’ll try again tomorrow.)

Good morning Friday! dreamadarlene — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 17:12:51 +0000 I just wanted to say THANKS to all my buddies for the comments and support. I’m excited today. We are taking a little drive up to the White Mountains to see if we can find some snow. Growing up in Southern New Mexico we use to see snow a couple of times a year, but here in Arizona there is only snow up in the high country. We lived in Flagstaff for two years and really loved the winters there. I know some of you will say I’m crazy. I guess it can be too much when you have it all winter long. I wanted to wish all of you a happy happy weekend. Stay strong and hang in there. I know the weekends can be really hard for some of you. lots of hugs, Dreama Thursday…. dreamadarlene — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 23:20:35 +0000 Hello all my buddies! I just wanted to post something real quick since I haven’t in a few days. I haven’t weighed myself. I think I will wait a full week this time. I have been getting my walks in, but my dieting has been on hold. I haven’t been over eating, but I haven’t been eating very healthy. I just decided I wasn’t going to obsess over it. I have a lot going on right now and I am trying not to stress out about anything. I don’t think that I am in the right mode to start my diet up again. I will only fail. So the only thing I can do is keep on the treadmill and work hard at not gaining my weight back. I haven’t had time to read any blogs. I hope everyone is doing okay. I’m hanging in there. I will weigh in on Sunday and post it. Have a great weekend and stay strong! Lots of hugs, Dreama Hi buddies! dreamadarlene — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:54:54 +0000 Happy Monday to everyone! Well, I was right. I gained 5 pounds. I was up and out early on my 3 mile walk this morning. It felt good. I’m off to a good start. I have some house work to do today, so I will try to stay busy. Or at least stay off the computer some. Before I know it, two hours will go by and I’m still sitting here. Of course my grandson has me up and down all day, so I guess it’s not to bad. I have to go back to the mall to pick up some items that I ordered, so maybe I will do that today. I haven’t even put up the Christmas tree yet. I usually don’t, but my grandson told me he wanted one this year. So that might be something to do today. Oh, and get this…. my husband wants me to make cookies. I know. I know. That will be really tempting for me, but I’ll try. I hope everyones Monday is off to a good start. We can do this! Stay strong. And thanks to all of you for your support. It really has helped me. Lots of hugs, Dreama It’s been a really bad week! Well…… dreamadarlene — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 00:04:25 +0000 Okay, it’s been a good week of spending time with my husband, which we both needed, but everything on the healthy level has just gone down the drain. Today was his first day back to work and I thought that I could jump back on, but it didn’t happen. I’m so disgusted with myself. If there is any kind of snack in sight, watch out. Gotta have some. I’m usually not like that, but I think it’s because it’s that time of the month. I’ve been trying to drink my water, but I don’t think that is going very well either. I’m afraid to jump back on the scale. Anyhow, I’ll start up again tomorrow. I know I can do this. I was doing so good when I started back up again almost two weeks ago. Everyone on here has been such an inspiration to me. That’s why I know I can do this. My mini goal is just around the corner. I hope everyone else is doing well on there goals and exercises. I haven’t had time to stop by and check up on everyones blogs. I hope to have time tomorrow or the next day. On another note, I did get some of my shopping done. Thanks goodness for that. I know I already mentioned that I’m not a shopper. I just don’t like it. I really only had shopping to do for our grandkids, so it wasn’t that hard. Have a great night! Lots of hugs and well wishes to everyone. I have such great buddies! Hello! dreamadarlene — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:59:47 +0000 I just want to say hi to everyone. I haven’t had a chance to stay on line very much. My hubby is still on vacation, so I’ve been redirected, so to speak. lol! Just wanted to wish everyone a good middle of the week. I’m not doing to good on either of my dieting or treadmill. I missed my walking yesterday and today so far. I’m hoping to jump back on tomorrow and call those two days my days off. I have bowling tonight, so I’ll get a little bit of exercise. Have a great night everyone. Stay strong and don’t give up. We can do it! Lots of hug, Dreama
