Our Quest to change our lives began in Feb. 2010 and we lost 224 lbs. We slowly gained a lot of that weight back and we're now on another journey for weight loss and better health using Bright Line Eating. This is the story of our continuing Journey. .

Big Weekend

Today is the night of my son's Eagle Court of Honor and there is SO much to do and set up.  There is even family that will happen to be in town which will be SO fabulous to have there.  I think I have everything ready... and I know it will turn out wonderful.  I finished the video presentation of his scouting life complete with the audio comments of many of his scout leaders through the years.  I've got his items to display, refreshments arranged, decorations ready to load, sound system already there, people hopefully scheduled to help, my own outfit picked out with eagle earrings, boys scout shirts washed & pressed, etc.  I am just feeling a little down right now.  I am plagued with painful thoughts... I don't even want to write them down or acknowledge them because they are probably not true, but it feels true.  I know I've said it before, but I am missing my mom and dad today.  Today is one of those days I would love to share with them and have them see their grandson.  I can be honest I wish I could feel their love as well.

In a few months we will be moving from here.  My hubs will even start sooner than that and be gone from us for a while.  It's going to be a crazy 6 months or more.  People are starting to learn that we are moving and pretty soon it'll be like "You're still here?  I thought you were moving?"  Anyway... I've got to get my head in the game right now... no time for emotional blog posts, even though that is how I'm feeling.

Tomorrow is weigh-in and I'm hoping for a big loss.... we'll see.

Enjoy tonight and know they will be there. I dont envy moving. That is so hard especially since you will be alone for 6 months. It will be crazy. God Bless

Hey Margene-it's going to be o.k. Take a deep breathe and lean on the fact you know who you are and who you serve. You're not alone.

Have a great time.
Your bloggie friend,

I understand that pain of not being able to share our lives with a parent any longer, I lost my Dad when my eldest daughter was only 4 1/2 months old so he never got to even meet the last 5 grandchildren.
BIG HUGS!!!! to you!!!!

Boys don't make it to Eagle Scout without significant support from family and many others. This is a bog moment for you and hubby. You must be so proud. What a wonderful human being your son must be.

Hope you had a great WI.
