Way to go Niki!  What a way to reward yourself, nothing is better that to go shopping and find new clothes in a smaller size.

 

You deserve it girl way to go!!!

Off topic

Sorry to post off topic but maybe some of you might be able to help.

 

My boys and I have been working on a summer project of collecting postcards from each state.  We are so close.  If you don't mind USA girls if you post what state you lived in so I could see if I need that state.

 

thanks

Niki, It sounds like you are doing something right if you are in a smaller size! :)  I don't know if you have access to your scale yet, they say that a smaller size equals 10 pounds losts, so good job! :)

As far as what I am working on this week and for a long term lifestyle change--and if you want to do it together we can-- is the 30 minutes of exercise a day, whether it is at the pool or walking around somewhere inside. (It's not at 6 am--lol lol)  We can do this together in spirit! :) Thanks for asking me! :) Take care! :) Bren

Getting sentimental

WE NEED SISTERS

A young wife sat on a sofa on ahot humid day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her mother.  As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilites of life and the obligations of adulthood the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear,sober glance upon her daughter. 

"Don't forget your sisters," she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass.  "They'll be more important as you get older.  No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much you love the children you may have, you are still going to need your "Sisters".  Remember to go place with them now and then; do things with them.  And remember that "Sisters" also means your girlfriends, your daughters, and other women too.  You'll need other women.  Women always do."

"What a funny piece of advice!" the young woman thought.  "Haven't I just gotten married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world?  I'm now a married woman, for goodness sake! A grownup.  Surley my husband and the family we may start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!"  But she listened to her Mother.  She kept in contact with her Sisters and made more women friends each year.

As the years tumbled by, one after another, she gradually came to understand that her Mom really knew what she was talking about.  As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman,

            Sisters are the mainstays of her life.

After over 50 years of living in this world, here is what I've learned:

                   -Time passes

                   -Life happens

                   -Distance separates

                   -Children grow up.

                   -Love waxes and wanes.

                   -Hearts break.

                   -Careers end.

                   -Jobs come and go.

                   -Parents die.

                   -Colleagues forget favors.

                   -Men don't call when they say they will

BUT Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you.  A Sister is never farther away than needing her can reach.

     When you have to walk that lonesome valley, and you have to walk it for yourself, you Sisters will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intevening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.  Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you.  Or come in and carry you out.

      My sisters, sisters-in-laws, and "girlfriends", bless my life!!!!!  The world wouldn't be the same without them, and neither would I.  When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead.  Nor did we know how much we would need each other.  Every day we  need each other still.  Tell the women who help make your life work that you appreciate them.  I just did.
