    Well, Jesse won't be having surgery in Sept after all. The doctor wants him to do a couple of months of physical therapy first. So he decided to go ahead and take some classes. :)

    It just makes you want to take a trip down memory lane! I listened to it over and over again last night, while I was going through some old family photos.

Reunion!

This coming weekend is the "Robert's Family Reunion" on Inks Lake. I'm really excited to be able to get together with the family and spend some fun, quality time with my immediate family and the extended family. I have off work on Friday, which comes in handy because Friday morning I will be meeting my Aunt to buy her car! Thanks to Chris and my folks, I am getting the opportunity to get a little car that will literally get about 4x the gas mileage that my truck gets. My parents are paying for it up front, and I will pay them back in time. I'm so blessed that they are willing to help me out. In return, I will be "letting" my dad drive the car while he is working long distance at the Blufton Post Office for the next few months, but after that it will get turned over to moi. Hooray! :)
  • juliagulia
    exciting! i love the feeling of getting a new car (no matter it's actual age! :))

Trying to Lose...

So, today on msn, there was a link of "What NOT to say" when someone you know is dieting. And as lots of you guys know, lately I have been trying to eat better, exercise, and live healthier overall.
I have to say, I have heard ALL of these things at least once, and some I hear literally everyday. Some really aren't so bad, and I don't mind when people say them to me. SOME of these I hear frequently, and they really do discourage me (for example, #'s 2, 5, and 7 especially. It's tough for me to say no.). So, I just thought it was interesting that this article was up here. And whether you're trying to lose weight, or know someone who is, you should take a look; most of it's pretty true:

http://health.msn.com/weight-loss/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100256713>1=31036

Speaking of weight, can I toot my own horn by saying that I have officially lost 50 pounds since January 1st of this year?! I've still got a LONG way to go, but after what I've already accomplished, I know I can get there! :) Thanks to everyone who has encouraged me and motivated me to help get this far!
  • windham4life
    Awesome job on the 50 pounds!!!! That's so good Trina! I just read the 10 things not to say, and I hope I haven't said any of them to you! Sorry if I have. I know it can be discouraging from time to time.

    If people are telling you that you are no fun anymore or if they are trying to make/tempt you to eat sweets: HOW RUDE!!!! They need to be a true friend and help encourage you! :)

    Keep up the good work! :)

    ^well, if you notice, most of these things on this list, people say innocently and don't realize that it might be a stumbling block. Most of the time, they're not trying to do any harm. SO, I wasn't necessarily trying to call people out, but I was just saying how ironic it was that literally like all of those things were spot on. Whoever wrote that article knew what they were talking about...lol :) BUT, thanks for your encouraging words, sister! :)

    wow crazy article! I fall into number 5 too. I think it is very true too! I am very proud of you by the way!!! YOU GO GIRL!

  • rebecca
    that is a good article, very helpful! and they did seem to address the more innocent comments.. but it's amazing how naive people can still be. anyway, awesome job and keep up the will-power! and teach me how to have some while you're at it :) love you!
