10 Things I Don't miss ...

#1- -- Hearing a "fat" joke and secretly wondering if someone was trying to tell me something ?!

#2- -- Feeling like I'm the biggest person in the room.

#3- -- Chafing! Need I say more! ;)

#4- -- Feeling like I was always out of breath, even after the simplest chores.

#5- -- The extra button they put on plus size pants? WTH is that about?? Do people actually use the extra 'hidin' button? I know I never!!

#6- -- Not being able to shop off the rack! For the first time last weekend I bought a pair of shorts at Costco (without trying them on) only to realize when I got home that I should have bought a medium instead of the large that I picked up!! :)

#7- -- Not being able to see who I am when I look in a mirror.

#8- -- Walking into someones backyard only to discover that the only chairs they have to sit on are those flimsy little cheap plastic chairs that seem to break easily when weight is applied! I'd rather sit on the grass and risk having a bug crawl up my pant leg!

#9- -- Seeing people whispering and assume they are saying something terrible about me!

#10- -- Always hiding behind people and trying hard not to get noticed! I always used to say I was shy but really I think I would just rather not be noticed.

10 Places I've Been ...

#1- -- Houston, Texas - It was just a stop over but we had to stay the night and I really wanted to go to "Jack-in-the-box" but we never did! I'll have to go back to try one of their sourdough burgers! :) All I really remember was the humidity - it felt like you were always sweating cause it was so humid!

#2- -- Playa del Carmen - Loved loved loved it here, I would go back in a snap! I wasn't too crazy about the snorkeling (it was hard to get the breathing right while under water?) Lots of stuff to do and we barely did any of it! It is on my must go back list! :)

#3- -- Quebec City, Quebec - I was quite young when went here and all I really remember was going to the nice botanical garden center, it was really pretty. I also remember trying to read all the signs but not understanding them cause they are in French. ;)

#4- -- Kansas City - not where Dorothy is from, the other Kansas City. LOL - We were here for a Jobbie event and my biggest memory of Kansas was that my mom wanted to go shopping with us and was wearing white shorts and black knee highs - the only piece of skin showing was her pale white Canadian knee caps!! I refused and made her go buy white socks before I would go anywhere! :) sorry mom - luv ya!

#5- -- Toronto, Ontario - I was also fairly young when we were here, I remember going to the Flinstone park and seeing Niagara falls.

#6- --Guatemala -- We went here to see the ruins which were quite impressive. I remember stopping at a little restaurant and having our tour guide tell me that if I had to use the washroom I should really try and hold it! I remember seeing beautiful lemon trees - full of lemons and lots of kids running around trying to give us "shoe shines" but everyone was wearing sandals!? Sorry kiddo!

#7- --Cancun, Mexico, I also loved Cancun and wish we would have spent more time there and done more touristy things! It was beautiful, if you like night life you would like Cancun- there were tons of things to do there, we barely scratched the surface! :)

#8- -- Belize City, Belize, I have actually been here twice (one time too many-IMO). It was nice the first time and maybe it was just the company we were with but I found that we ran out of things to do here fast! If you enjoy sitting on the beach and doing a little snorkeling or swimming then this is where you should go. If you like to take full advantage of your trip and see everything the place has to offer then maybe you should consider only spending a week here (cause that's all it will take to see everything) I really enjoyed their ruins and their zoo -!

#9- --London, Ontario, I wish it was the other London but no... still in Canada! While we were here we traveled down to Detroit to see a baseball game. That had to be the highlight of the entire trip - it was amazing! Seeing a ball game in a real stadium with everyone singing that peanut/ cracker jack song! I also remember the highway to get there, never in my life have I ever seen so many lanes on one highway! It was nothing like what we have here - everything was super sized!

#10- -- Nanaimo, BC, And last but not least beautiful British Columbia! I love the mountains and the ocean so to me this place is maybe the best place to visit in Canada! Not too sure if I'd live there - I've heard that it is usually cloudy and rainy but on the nice sunny days this place is awesome! :)

10 things ...

So our spring challenge is over and once again I did not get to goal but I feel like I did really good and I'm not upset at all by the fact that I never made it to goal. Even though I have yet to get to goal on our mini-challenges I still like to have them. The smaller weight loss goals seem to make the time go by faster and it feels like the overall goal is achievable. So with that being said I think we need to start another mini-challenge, I've been trying to think of one but can't come up with anything!? Any ideas ?!

I guess I should have saved some of my news yesterday for today cause I couldn't think of anything to write about, so I will post ....

#2- -- puppies

#3- -- my family, animals and friends

#4- -- hugs!

#5- -- a good belly laugh

#7- -- the changing colors in the fall

#8- -- the fresh smell after a good rain storm

#9- -- hot bubble bath's

#10- -- holiday's/ vacation... anywhere!
