First day of my new life...

I watched Oprah's Weight Loss Challenge show today. It was taped way back in January of this year and is following 6 people on their weight loss journey. Bob Greene had said that weight issues stem a lot deeper than either a love for food or a love for certain food. I started my journal (in a book the old fashioned way) and have since recognized why I have issues. Wow. Surprise, they stem from way back....like the tender age of 4 or 5. I can conquer! I have to do this.

My uncle was diagnosed with cancer today. It's all pretty new. They're running tests. He's in his 60's and is diabetic. I worry about his outcome. Worrying won't get me anywhere. I am not dealing with something as serious as cancer. I'm dealing with weight issues. Why not do something about it today so I can enjoy life in case I'm having to face the same thing as my uncle down the road? You only have ONE life.

I'll post pictures after some progress. One step at a time.

Surprise!

My cousin and her husband along with their 3 children came up to see us at the last minute. They arrived yesterday (it's a good thing that it was a long weekend!) and unfortunately, have to attend a funeral tomorrow (the reason for their visit). I have a few pictures of Emily and their son Dalton riding around in Emily's power wheels jeep. What fun!

Back to work tomorrow. It's going to be a short week. Our company might stay until Wednesday and then I have a wedding to attend in Banff on Saturday. Lots of opportunity to take pictures!! Gotta love the pictures.

I am sooo tired. ZZZzzzzz.

Happy Canada Day!!

Wow, I skipped the whole month of June on this thing. I guess that's what happens when my laptop craters ...I just totally forget about this blogger. Later today I'm going to post some pictures ...maybe head out to some Canada Day festivities. See ya in a bit...
