Tonoogle Talks

Is today Monday? It’s almost the New Year and boy has this been a hectic holiday season. I have had so much going on the past few months that I have neglected you all I am want to say I am sorry first and foremost. Today I will be doing a bit of explaining and catching some of you up that might have thought I fell off the face of the earth. YEAHH!! I didn’t thank goodness as I am sure that might hurt a bit.

Where to start… I believe most of this started when Joe and I went on vacation maybe a little before as I was a bit hormonal but we didn’t know why (at that time.)  If you have time I started explain the whole hormonal thing in an earlier post and knew that is WAS NOT because I was pregnant. HA! Boy was I wrong. YEAH! We are having a baby. Seeing that I will be a first time mom you can imagine what in the world was happening to me and why but not me I didn’t have a clue.

Joe and I go ahead with our plans to go to Florida to visit my mom and his mom. We totally enjoyed it and wish it could happen more often but not so sure financially that is will. We had fun visiting family and friends basically that is what we did. Then we left to come back home. Around a week later we both ended up back in Florida; him for work and me to help my mom.

While helping my mom through an adjustment in her life and supporting her in ways only her most favorite daughter could (oh yeah! I am her only daughter. Ha!) I eventually had to fly back home to be with my husband.

During all of this everyone (meaning Joe, my mom, my aunt) keep telling me I need to take a HPT (home pregnancy test) I finally do about 3 weeks after they tell me too. Actually, the morning I was getting on a plane to come home to my most favorite and wonderfulest (I’m making up words) husband (BTW he is the only husband) that I do take a test and low and behold everyone knew but me.

How is it possible that everyone knew that I was pregnant but me? I have always been told you know you just know. NOT! Don’t believe it not everyone just knows.

Now I am not sleeping and would really like to sleep. I am one that can sleep 20 out of 24 hours in a day if they would let me. I sleep about 5-6 hours a night in between bathroom runs. Finally, I just get up because by then I can’t get comfortable again. What in the world is going to happen to me? When I went to the Dr they said I was 9 weeks and it’s been a week so now 10 weeks. I am experiencing things that should not be happening until a bit later.

I am sure; matter of fact I know I will be writing about my experience because it’s new and exciting because they said it would never happen. So we are very excited. So, I am fore-warning everyone now I might be complaining but it’s only in the best way because I would not trade this experience for anything. This is/was the best Christmas Present that I could have gotten. So please don’t take anything as me being negative just scared to death because of not knowing what to expect.

Till next time muah!

Trust me I was speechless!

I have to say I have been kind of bad. I have not played on the Wii or used EA SPORTS Active or More Workouts. I have had a lot going on that were not in my control but I do feel that my time was very well spent. All in all I did watch what I ate; more than just watching it go on my fork and in my mouth.

I have said several times that I am so excited that I have lost 60 pounds but I can’t tell it. Well guess what? I can now and it’s all my mom’s fault. When I got to her house all I heard about was that my clothes were too big; that I needed to buy some clothes that fit instead of wearing those old baggy things (to me hey it’s all about comfort.) So I didn’t have to listen to it anymore I said ok let’s go to Walmart (ha it’s the only store in Okeechobee.) We did and she through a fit because I wasn’t going to try my new pants on so I did. Much to my surprise they were too big. So, I had to get a smaller size; I did and again too big finally the next ones fit.

Knowing that all clothes fit different and sizes don’t really make sense because I don’t believe any two manufactures are the same; I am still excited. I bought me a few pairs of new pants that I can wear and do fit. Now my mother and I are both happy. Here is the best part. Are you ready? This past Wednesday my mother, aunt and I went to Universal Studios for the day. I cannot tell you when the last time I was able to go through a turn-style without turning sideways; I didn’t even notice it my mom did. I was shocked I went back through thinking I would have noticed that.

Thinking back to when I started I was wearing a 24-26 pants and a few days ago I bought a 16/18 and a 18/20. Sizing is a big deal to me because I have a BIG BUTT. That is not being negative just honest.

So to anyone and I mean anyone that thinks they can’t lose weight on their own TRUST ME it can be done. It might not be easy all the time but it gets easier as you go. You will have your ups and downs everyone does you just have to keep on. You can’t let it beat you.

This has been an exciting, adventurous, crazy, obnoxious etc. few weeks. I want to tell you all I am sorry I haven’t been around. There has been a lot going on since my Cha’Turkey experience but I am not going to forget that Christmas is coming.

Some you know that my mom takes care of my papaw that has Alzheimer’s and I noticed last night that Darth Vader also lives with her. She has baby monitors in his room at night so she can get some sleep. Well last night he had a visitor I thought. I was hearing him snore and he sounds like Darth Vader. I was so waiting to hear “Luke I am your Father.”

Baby Monitors are hilarious. When you least expect it you will hear the strangest things. The one thing I didn’t expect to hear was him being in bed going to sleep and him saying “Well Shit, I farted.” Not sure who he was talking to but I couldn’t help but to laugh.

I am not thinking it’s to fair everyone up North is getting snow and I love the snow but right now I am down here in Florida helping my mom and enjoying the 80 degree weather. Y’all don’t freeze now ya’hear. I am missing the snow but not the cold weather if that makes any sense at all.

I had to buy a pair of pants yesterday. Everyone has heard I am still losing but I fell in the “Can’t see it” funk. Yesterday I tried on a pair of pants size 20. THEY FIT! I was so excited. I picked up a pair of jeans and didn’t try them on. They are 18/20’s Guess what? I am taking them back because they are too big. WOOT!! More about that on Friday.

I am not going to put up a Christmas tree this year. Well, I want to but I don’t have room. I have this giant TV in my living room that is broke and well I can’t have it fix till after the New Year so  I am stuck with two 50’ TV’s right now. The meaning is there right. I mean, I know that is not what Christmas is about so I might be ok with it in a few days.

I was talking to my papaw last night about our family and I found out thing I am not sure I want to know. I just found out that we ran a “Whore House” in New Orleans. OMG! I so didn’t need to know that. Don’t hold it against me I had nothing to do with it. Just think, I thought my family was boring. That was just the beginning of what I found out last night. No ya’ll are hearing the rest; at least right now. I got to let that stuff sink in. HOLY COW!!!

Tomorrow’s Wordless Wednesday Post might be at noon. I’ll try to do it early. I have a special/fun picture to show you but I haven’t taken it yet. HA!  Needless to say I am going someplace special tomorrow. Keep watching.

Tune in next Tuesday for some more “Random Tuesday Thoughts” after this trip you never know what you’re going to find out about me. HA!
