Happy mothers day!

My momma is the best! she always seems to know what I need before I need it, example-

Summer of 1997- I was at our church camp and mom was there as guidance counselor and I felt the Holy Spirit convict me to get baptized and I was so scared, and I just started crying and I turn around and my mom was behind me crying because she knew that I was ready to get baptized. Amazing right?

Funny story- This is not the first time I told my mom I wanted to get baptized, the first time happened when I was younger and when my mom asked why, I responded "I get so thirsty during church that getting some gra! pe juice would be nice!" LOL! bless my mama, she just said something along the lines of waiting a bit longer!

Plus, its mothers day today right (DER!) and my mom has my brother put together my elliptical (HOORAY!) and delivers it on mom's day, it kinda felt like daughter day, not mother's day. But we got my mom some wood working tools, which she was so excited about! she's so crafty!

So much fun with the family. I went home last night to work out, and we watched Avator- I've never seen it and I liked it, it kinda reminded me of Star Wars-maybe I am a sci fi nerd?!? LOL!!

we watched that because Disney World is launching a new land based off the movie at Animal Kingdom, so dad and I were doing research! and last weekend we watched Frozen. I like Saturday movie night at the Sommers gym! LOL!

and funny story, my dad asked if I could eat ice cream, and my mom jumps in with "I can!" LOL and my dad goes "well I know YOU can!" Sooooo funny! love my family to pieces, so much fun!

Hope you all had a great time celebrating your mom's, let's remembering to celebrate them all the time! Let's have a great week peeps!! :)

beautiful weekend!!

I'm kinda sad to have missed Stars on Ice today, its only the 2nd time I've missed since I first started going in 1998, CRAZINESS! but I just bought an elliptical, and I didn't have any favorites skating, still kinda sad.

in other news-my weekend was awesome! I worked out like a boss! which was awesome, and hung out with the family. my parents, and brother and I watched Frozen together last night. if you don't know my dad, he is horrible to watch movies with, and even a Disney movie he asks questions and isn't sure what's going on. I know most times he is just joking, but he's pretty believable! fun weekend! how was yours??

Let's have a great week!! We got this! :)

my new gym.....

so my elliptical crashed, and it lasted 3 years and I got it for dirt cheap, so it was to be expected, so I found a new one and just ordered it and its pink and super cute,

so in the mean time I've been working out at my parents place and my dog Casey has an overactive bladder (to put it nicely-love you Casey Ann) and whenever she gets excited, she pees-well she saw me and peed, which I love because its a nice feeling to have a dog be so excited to see you. LOL! gotta love it!

its crazy, but I've discovered that I need to work out, my back has been hurting since my old elliptical broke down and now its good, so crazy.... and its such a great stress reliever

also got to hang out with the parents and plan our annual dad/daughter Disney trip in July, while my mom laughed at how crazy we are! ha! i'm so excited! this girl needs a vacay!

my mom is so amazing, she always knows what to say to make me feel better. life is jut crazy and stressful and she knows how to make me laugh-even though I told her "you've worried about me for 31 and 1/2 years + 9 months (!!) and I just want her to worry about other things, but I guess no matter what age you are, you always need your momma! and your family and mine is the best! be jealous!

also PS my old bedroom is where my mom's elliptical is at, so its nice to go back home (literally) and feel like a kid again! being an adult stinks sometimes.

today was a major KICKIN butt day!! woot woot!

guess what I did?!?!

for those of you who don't know, I have major food issues! I lost over 100 pounds with weight watchers two years ago, and I feel like I have been gaining more and more of the weight back. I'm still in a healthy range, but it gets harder and harder to have one cheat day, which moves into multiple cheat days, just because if I get off plan for even one bite, lick, or taste it is over and then I think "well I just wrecked my day, so I might as well eat whatever!". well today I have news. we had pizza for lunch (of course-my major weakness!) and I avoided it at lunch (yah me!) but then I found left overs in the breakroom, ugh! but I decided to just have two pieces, and that was it. and then they had extras at the end of the day and instead of taking a ton home and just saying "oh well, you cheated, you might as well eat the rest of the day!" I just said "nope, not happening!" and I came home and ate my normal "on plan" foods and I did it! woah! I've never gotten back on plan after straying off course! I am so excited! i'm beginning to realize that its not realistic to count points my whole life (I mean I am still and will continue to do so, because weight watchers does work -exhibit A) but now I feel like I can do this. I could eat something at lunch and then get back on plan that night for dinner and maybe I should've stayed away from that pizza, but that is just not realistic, and I saw some old pictures of me at my lowest and I want to get back there so badly, so its time to make a come back! here we go! oh my gosh, this might not seem like a big deal to you, but to me this is HUGE! I could use some prayers! I sure wish we didn't need food to live, but I feel a lot better about this! i'm trying not to deprive myself and just enjoy food, and then not go crazy! I'll keep y'all updated!

2 year Weight Watchers lifetime anniversary!

Wow-its been 2 years! That is so crazy to me! What's even crazier is how much harder it is to maintain than to lose. It took me a year and half to lose the weight and I am not able to have to go through doing something like that again!!

I really don't think I can have any cheat days anymore, I get so focused on eating as much as I can in those 24 hours, which usually stretch out into multiple days, and I get so sick. I had a cheat day last Monday, which turned into cheat days the Saturday and Sunday night before and then the Thursday night after and then Friday I had a HORRIBLE day at work, so I earned it, which then went into Saturday night! so yeah, my 1 intended cheat day turned into 6 days. EEEKK! I am so scared to weigh in on Wednesday, but I've never missed a weigh in and I am ready to get back on track and kick butt and take names (in Jesus' name, of course!) LOL! I could use some support. is anyone else out there struggling with weight issues or is it just me??? cuz sometimes it feels like its just me. I sure wish we didn't need food to live, that would make this so much easier! LOL!!!

let's have a great week everyone!! we can do it!!

read this when you are wanting a cheat day

DO NOT DO IT KRISTIN ANN!! remember this sick feeling you have, would you rather be so sick you can't move or in great shape from eating and exercising? your move Sommers!

woah, this whole "kicking butt with God and taking names" quote is working for me......

today was AWESOME!!! it just feels good to be recognized by your employer for the work you are doing, I just gotta keep remembering that I am working for the Lord, not men!

after today's awesome day, I met up with the bestie Sara and we had EP, so good, and then we did our usual shopping and then went to Sara's place to watch Fuller House, the new show based on Full House, so good!! I was worried, because some of the old shows that come back don't work, but I really liked this!!

so just a great day! although I gotta remember to give God the glory and praise even when things turn south which they will, hey that's life right?? Have a GREAT weekend!!!!!

also PS, remind Sara that you guys are on episode 9! LOL! we both have bad memory!
