And you know what?
That feels WAY better than the weight I'm dragging around!
So, after one week of living healthier, I'm down 2 pounds, and I've broken a sweat (a serious sweatmarksinthepitsanddowntheback sweat) 5 days out of 7.

A Healthier Ann - Day 1
Angie Dunn (uber-cute, talented, inspirational scrapbooker) has started a new blog dedicated to living a healthier life. She has invited us to join, take up the "challenge," and track our progress. We all know I've been down this weight loss journey before. Remember the 75 lbs I lost? Well, 30 decided to come back and visit...and they're staying on my butt.
So, to keep myself honest, I'll be writing about my progress (and certain setbacks--aka chips and salsa) over the next 3 months. The goal? Of course, to get rid of those pesky pounds and eat healthier...maybe drink a little water now and then instead of Diet Coke, but I also plan to make exercise a habit again. It feels good. I stand up a little straighter; I walk with more confidence; I feel like I'm becoming the person I WANT to be, the one my family DESERVES, when I take care of myself.
Plus, I'm gettin' damn tired of sucking it in all the time.

Personal hygiene
PJ's mom: You were really stinky after basketball; did you wash really, really good under your arms?
PJ: Mo-om, I don't have to. I'll just put on more deodorant.
He was then ordered to return to the shower and work on the pits.

Where's Ann?
Working.
Painting the house.
Exercising at the Y, trying to shrink her big a** to it's former (pre-marriage) size. Um...why does that happen?
Working.
Hanging curtain rods.
Cleaning floors (where do dust bunnies come from, anyway, and how do they get so big?).
Missing her wonderful scrapbooking girls (Jackie, Lori, Heather--heeeyyyyy).
Wondering how she's ever going to fit the things she has planned for the summer into the summer.
Hanging pictures.
Missing the coven and the opportunity to hang at Salty's with them.
Working.
Planning her scrapbook room! :)
Being sad about missing Angie's and Heidi's classes at SE.
Thinking that, wow, she's GOT to do a good pedi pretty soon.
Feeling really, really good about the movin' to Tucson decision.

Shamrock Personality Test
Here's mine:
What Your Shamrock Says About You 
You have a logical mind, and you pay a lot of attention to details. You are very organized.
Sometimes you find thinking creatively to be a challenge. You prefer to deal with the facts at hand.
You don't really consider yourself a lucky person. In your view, people create their own luck.
You are traditional, easy going, and appreciative of the simple things in life.

Birthday Celebration - 41!!!!!
Scott, the girls and I went "cavin'" on the Saturday before my birthday. It was neat, but WAY scary. The entrance to the cave was really slippery, and as caves go, it was pretty dark. Slippery and dark are not the funnest things.
On Sunday, my family came to visit and we all went on a picnic to Catalina State Park. Mom's potato salad and Susan's Fat Emma cookies were to die for. LOVE them both, and I was so happy that we were all together on such a pretty day. We DID end up sunburned. Look at PJ in his cutie glasses! Man, that kid's going to be taller than all of us in a year!
