Bellaryna's Journey

Okay so now with my new updated schedule for working at the YMCA, Tuesdays are basically the only day I have off.
So that said Tuesday's are the only day that I have to get EVERYTHING done!
Crazy I know. :willy_nilly:
I have so much stuff to do. *sigh*
And to top it off I am having the worst case of the "I just feel soooo tired's".
I don't know what's wrong with me. Could be a couple of things.
A. Just didn't sleep well last night with all the storms rumbling thru and the threat of tornadoes looming.
OR
B. I actually wore myself out yesterday with all the swimming, cleaning and PowerCoreing that I did.
Who know's.
I had every intention last night of getting on the elliptical but like I said I was soooooo worn out that I never did make it.
But I will get to it today as that will be my only form of exercise today. Aside from all the cleaning around here.
My weight is floating very near to my lowest of 195.2 and I am hoping to have a nice drop for the weigh-in on Friday.
Last night at my PowerCore class we had 29 people there.
That my dear friends is alot of people. Normally it is somewhere around 20-22.
Depending on who makes it or not. There are several "regulars", myself included.
So last night the instructor was really putting us through our paces. I am sure she was trying to whittle out the New Year's Resolutions that won't stay after 2-3 classes.
Well like I said I gots lots and lots of stuff to get done and very little time to do it in. So I better get to it.
I will cruise thru a few diaries and if I get all my stuff done today I will pop back on later. Probably more likely tonight after Biggest Loser.
Catch ya all later!
I'm outta here!:leaving:
 
You're doin' just great.
keep it up. ;)

I'm sorry you feel tired and worn out.
I hate that feeling..lol

I was just shocked hearing about the tornadoes on the weather channel.

I was tellin' hubby yesterday that I have a horrible feeling since we had a mild winter with crazy/strange weather; we are going to have a terrible spring! Living in tornado alley sucks!
 
Hey Bell!! yeah we had serious storms here last night also. It seems we got a lot of HAIL, it was probably quarter size, but it sounded as if my windows were going to break, YIKES!! I can't sleep during storms, so as like yourself, I didn't sleep very good either, so I'm a bit tired too.

I think your doing a fabulous job so keep up the great work. With your butt burning class, I KNOW you will see weight loss this week. Look at you almost down to 190 can you believe it?? I'm so very happy for you, and I certainly want to see you hit that mark, to bad we didn't live closer I would take you out that day to celebrate. YEAH!!!
Have a wonderful day today, try and get some rest tonight.
Hugs
Kim
 
Hi Kim and Stac!
Yeah we were watching Napolean Dynamite (love that movie!) and didn't realize that we were even under a watch until 10:30pm.
So after that I just really struggled with going to sleep even though I was incrediably tired.
This last fall we had a tornado tear thru a town that was only like 20 miles straight east of here.
For some reason I have a huge fear of them. Like an unreasonable fear.
And in this house we don't have a basement so I freak pretty easily!
Maybe I need to get on eof them weather radio thingy's? I just might sleep better.
 
Kim
I wish that you lived closer too! You sound like you would be a blast to hang out with. That and you would surely be draggin' my butt to the gym when I didn't want to go. LOL
When I hit that 190 we'll have a virtual celebration!
Thanks again sweetie!
 
Okay so first the new avi is in central park in NYC. Took it myself!
I am going to try and post a regular size of the pic so that you can see the buildings and everything.
Also just had to let everyone know about this great pizza I just had.
It is a Kashi Roasted Bell Pepper and Chicken pizza.
Soooooo yummy!!!
And only 225 cals for 1/4 or 300 cals for 1/3 of the pizza.
I figured that I would try it and see. And I think I will be buying it again!
----------------------------------------------------
Yeah!!!! The sun is trying to shine after about a week of no sun!!!
Go Sun! Go Sun! Go Sun!
LOL
 
Just a few photos for all of you to browse~

Thank you!!!
I know my face is thinning out nicely now if the rest of me would get with the program! LOL (Hips, butt, tummy but mainly hips!)
25?!
Your funny!!! I will be 36 in September. So officially I am 35 and a 1/2. My oldest turns 17 at the end of February. And lucky for me I have always had the "young" face. Except for when I was like 12 everyone thought I was in my mid to late teens.
Thanks for the props on the photo of the 2 of us. It is pretty rare that both of us would be in a photo togehter w/o the kids so tis my fav photo for now.
We live in a little town called Kendallville. It's about 30 minutes north of Fort Wayne and probably like 45 minutes south of the Indiana/Michigan line.
There's not much here to boast about since we are so far off the beaten path.
Now we just need to see some new pics of you with that hubby of yours!
 
You know it's funny you should say that about the photo of me and my H, I know about three people who have one of us on their cameras and I'm just waiting to get the pictures sent to me. I saw two of them, and I was quite amazed they actually look decent of me, because you know I HATE pictures, my H always takes good pics, darn him. I'll have to check out your location on line later when I get a few minutes and see about the location, all I know is it's got to be closer than driving to Ohio or PA. LOL LOL I'm really going to try hard to get to Michigan this next year to visit Kimberly, so maybe I can make it by your way also, I wonder where the middle point would be. HMMMM more stuff to investigate on the world wide web. Love the internet isn't it great! LOL LOL What day is your daughters Birthday?
 
Okay, I need to see if I can make it to this event:

I LOVE THIS KIND OF STUFF!!!!! your town reminds me of Upstate NY and where i used to live, all old historic houses and really pretty parks.

That would be so cool. Kim and I may be going to Shipshewana this summer as she is only about 2 hours away from me. Nothing is definate yet but it would be awesome if we could all go together! Oh and Shipshewana is an Amish community here in Northren Indiana. They have the USA's biggest open air flea market that runs every Wednesday and Tuesday during the summer.
HMMMM more stuff to investigate on the world wide web. Love the internet isn't it great! LOL LOL What day is your daughters Birthday?

How cool it would be if we could all get together. Now we just need to get Stacey here too!
My oldest daughter's b-day is Feb 27th.
I put her up for adoption when I was 17. It is hard to believe that she is now the age that I was when I gave her up. Time sure has flown by. Soon enough if she wants to meet me she can. Once she turns 18 that is.
I'm guessing that she lives close to Kim since they are both in NW Michigan.

The Apple Festival is huge here!!!!!! The town basically shuts down for the weekend since everyone and their cat is at the fairgrounds!!! LOL :smilielol5: Which by the way is about 1/4 of a mile from my house. So I never have to pay to park! :party:
There are sooooo many people and all the stuff is awesome. Especially the food! And the crafts are just gorgeous.
You gotta come! You would love it!
 
Oh yeah!! You know I want to, I'll look into it around late spring or fall. And about your daughter, I like her already, we share a close DOB mine is Feb 22 and we water signs and very passionate people. LOL LOL AND..... my H was adopted, and about 10 years ago he met his Biological mom for the first time, ironically they were both looking for eachother too, it was pretty funny. SHE IS AWESOME, I love her to pieces and his adopted parents, super cool people too, he has a very nice family, and everyone has a story, TRUST ME!!

I hope soon you will meet your daughter and it to will be a very good day! If she's anything like her mom, she's thinking about the day she will meet you also, I'm sure of it!
 
How lucky you are! I wish I could meet someone from the forum but it doesn't look like there are other italians here...

Your new pic is lovely! And you do look young!

I hope you get to the weight you're hoping for by friday. You work so hard, you deserve it. Good luck!

Hubby told me once that he had a dream where one day he answered the door and there was a girl/woman standing there who looked slightly familiar.
Only after she introduced herself did he realize who she was.
This dream of his was right after our daughter was born and of course I was a blathering mess when he told me.
Feb 22nd huh? You'll have to PM me your addy so that I can send you a B-Day card!
I love hearing adoption stories. I can't even remember how many adoptive parents have told me Thank You. Even though I wasn't involved in their situations they felt the desire to Thank a birthmother personally.
I hope to also meet her one day.
And the beautiful thing is this. If she is happy and content with her family(she sent me a letter once when she was in the 4th grade so she knows she is adopted and who I am) and does not choose to meet me I will be okay with that.
'Cuz ultimately I made the decision I did because at the time I was no where near able to be a parent. And I wanted her to have a "family". I have always considered myself to have been a babysitter for the 9 months that I got to have her with me. And maybe that is why I have never regretted for a moment the decision that I made.
Her parents are lovely people who couldn't have kids. They waited 5 years for their son and then another 5 years for her. Ironically enough she was brought into their home on her older brothers b-day.
And my step-son, who will be turning 17 in a week and a half, is only 6 weeks older than she is. So that has helped me as well. To be able to see the things that he goes thru and know that she most likely struggles with most of the same issues.
Anyway that is pretty much the whole of my story.

India don't you worry about a thing! LOL
I have already decided that I am going to make a trip over the pond sometime in the future (way in the future!) And Omega/Margaret who lives in England has already said that I could visit her. And Auburn who is in France said to swing by her place too.
So what could it hurt to jump on over to Italy!
I want to see Europe soooo badly!
May take me while though! hahaha
 
Soooo Biggest Loser Couples starts in about 20 minutes.
I plan to fold clothes while I watch it. Trying that multi-tasking thing! LOL :smilielol5:
Had steamed cod with salsa on top for dinner. Along with a side of rice that had salsa mixed in with a slice of provolone melted on top.
Have had only 33oz of water today so I need to drink at least 2 more of my 33oz bottles to catch up with my water intake.
After BLC is done I plan to hop on the elliptical and do about a 45 minute ride.
Last time I did that particular time frame I burned off 675 calories!!!
That would be wonderful as at this point I have had 1700 so far today and was very close to going under my low weight this morning.
Hope everyone else had/has a great day/night!
Catch ya tomorrow..........that is if I have the time! LOL
Have to be @ the pool by 8:45am for the 1st class which ends at 9:30am. The next class starts at 10am ending at 10:30am. Normally I would need to be there 15 minutes early but since I will already be there and in the pool I will just swim laps for 30 minutes.
After that I am suppose to do a class at 12:45 but I have a doctors appt tomorrow instead. So will be missing that class. One more swim class will round out my day starting at 4:45pm and ending at 5:30pm.
And of course my PowerCore starts at 5:45pm and ends at 6:45pm.
In between all that I have to pick my kids up from school at 2:50pm and have my son to his job by 4pm. Then turn around and get my daughter out to the church for her Upward Basketball practice. She'll just have to be there early. Good thing her daddy is her coach. Then pick up son right after I get done with my PowerCore class.
Needless to say it's about to get crazy 'round here!~
:auto::willy_nilly::gnorsi::seeya:
 
Awe look at your hubby, he's actually smiling for a pic! You two are adorable!
 
You're a busy girl! My kids are starting to get invloved in some activities...just signed them both up for gymnastics. That is so neat that your husband coaches your girl's basketball! My husband wants to get involved with coaching someday too.
