#SoCS Nov. 19/16 – Yes

Linda’s SoCS prompt this week…

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “yes.” Use it as a word, use it in a word, extra points if you start and finish your post with it. Enjoy!

Yes

That’s how it started. A simple answer to a simple question.

Nearly twenty years ago, we met. And fifteen years ago yesterday, we finally officially said ‘Yes‘ to each other.

Over the years there have been many ‘yesses’ and numerous ‘nos’ too!

I seem to utter an awful not of nos to my kids!

But they manage to twist them into ‘Yesses’ somehow… the gift of the gab!

Marriage is tough. There are plenty of occasions to enjoy together, and an equal amount of situations that create tension. We’ve had our ups and downs.

But if anyone was to ask me if I would do it again, I’d answer in a heartbeat.

Yes!”

Ritu’s Healthy Eating – Week 15 #icandothis

wp-1477781949515.png

Well hello, Peeps!

Another week done, another achievement!

I have been good all week, knowing that today was our anniversary, and I plan to be naughty all weekend… foodwise, silly!

And it paid off!

So tonight we went out to TGI Friday’s for dinner with the kids, and I ordered whatever I wanted, with an ice cream cocktail too! And I had a glass of bubbly before we left!

And the loss…

Another 1lb! 138lbs now!

So that is 15lb with SW, and cumulative 20lbs since I started this whole healthy eating kick!

And I hit my Club 10 target with SW today too! Club 10 is when you lose 10% of your starting body weight, and today I did that too!

And I know at least one of you wanted to see some photographic evidence that something is happening.

I am not in the habit of taking photos of my flab, but if you see the picture below, the May photo is the one that spurred me on to actually lose weight! My bloated face horrified me, and the Dr’s scale measurement even more so! The next two photos show me more recently, and today, where hopefully you can see the change in my face!

Have a wonderful weekend Peeps! My celebrating is still going on this weekend, so I won’t be surprised with a gain next week!

TJ’s Household Haiku – Drift

TJ’s haiku prompt this week,

Drift

Another prompt where I realised I had a great photo! A couple of years ago we were playing at the park along the River Thames in our town. Lil Man had a new football to play with… but not for long! A hard, powerful kick sent the ball soaring into the water, and the current was pretty strong, carrying the ball away forever… drifting off into the sunset!

Unable to save
Little sphere floating away
Set adrift somewhere

Constantly climbing
Finally, an open door
I can see the light

15 Years Married

Fifteen years ago today, I woke extra early.

I was primped and preened to perfection and dressed as a bride… your bride.

Five years, we had been waiting, to make this official, and finally the day was here.

It flew.

A magical day where I felt like a Princess, finally swept off her feet by her Prince Charming.

And the last fifteen years have flown equally fast.

Two beautiful children, one fur baby, our own home, and each other.

What more could I want?

Nothing more.

Just many more years, like the ones we have already spent together.

Wishing a Happy 15th Anniversary to my darling Hubby Dearest. I love you soooooo much, and feel blessed to have you by my side 💖
