Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mothers Day to my Mommy, Sisters and Friends that are all Mommies. I have to say that the journey from 2010 to 2011 has been a bumpy road but I am a happier, healthier, more active Mommy than I have ever been!

I hope you had a Happy Happy Mothers Day!

Love Ya'll ~ Deb

Hannah Grace O'Brien 10 Years Old

Wow....how time flies when you are having fun being a Mom....My oldest is 10 years old today. I can't believe that she is 10. It just seems like yesterday I was rocking her in the recliner and taking our afternoon naps together. Wow...She's an amazing kid for sure.

Happy Birthday Hannah...You are the BESTEST Daughter! Love you!

It's a "1"derful Life

I have such a wonderful life and this journey is far from over....it can only get better from here. I finally said goodbye to the 200's forever. I have finally entered the days of being able to say I weight 1**! Yipee. I have lost 127lbs and have 49 more to go! I still look back and go how did I ever start this amazing journey! I was a size 28, I am now a size 14. I haven't been a 14 since I was in High School. Just wanted to share a picture of me! Thank you for all your support and encouragment to all my family and friends.

Love to all.

Fun in the Snow

The kids had a great time the last two days not going to school and playing in the snow...

Here's some pics of the kiddos...Have a great Wednesday!

Happy New Year to 2011!

It's been a while since I have blogged and I hope I will get better in 2011. I started a journey back in May 2010 to change my life....1 pound at a time. I worked the mental, physical and diet all in one big swoop. I am not quite to my goal but the light at the end of the tunnel is no longer a distant glimmer but a bright light! Here's my family Christmas 2009.Here's my family now for Christmas 2010, 108lbs gone. Boy has life changed. I have energy....I have confidence...I have self esteem....I am thankful for every day and every breath I take. I am so very happy...I could say the happiest I have been in a very long time. Thank God for giving me my A-HA moment.


Here's to 2011 and Goals to achieve....

Great First Day

It was a great first day for both Andrew and Hannah. Andrew's teacher sent home a note that he plunged right in and made friends. The boxes were not checked said Missed You and had seperation anxiety. That's good that he was happy and felt safe at school but I sure wish he missed me a litte wink wink.

Lots of Love All

Back to School

Back to School for Hannah and the fist day for Andrew. We decided they would ride the bus...this was a very good decision. We woke up at 6am and ate a healthy breakfast; got dressed and ready for the 7am school bus time. We all walked to the bus stop after of course our photo ops (as I know I would not hear the last of it if I did not have pictures). Andrew was the last child on the bus and he gave the bus driver his name turned to me and said "Bye Mom", sat down behind the driver and the bus took off to school.

Here's the pictures:

Love to all,
