Tell All Friday

:::Weight Watchers Update:::

So, as you know I am attending Weight Watchers, I go on Thursday Nights for my weekly meeting and weigh in. Down another 1lb.. I know thats not a lot, but it's more than it would be if I wasnt dieting..

So that brings me to 8.4 lbs weight loss in almost 3 weeks.. I am happy with that.. If I can keep this up and average around 10 lbs every 4 months, then hey in July I will be 60 lbs lighter. They say its better to loose it slow anyways.. So CONGRATS to me.. :)

I haven't had much to blog about this week, so what a better way to end the work week and head off into the weekend, than a survey??

Now pick you favorite song off the list.

How great is our God...

I was browsing through some pictures on my macbook tonight, and some of them take me back to the moment I snapped them, leaving me breathless and full of amazement for the beauty our God has created. I can look at every picture and tell you where i was, who i was with, and what i was thinking when i took that picture. I find myself every day noticing things that i once didnt. I pray tonight that we all slow down and pay attention to the beauty and peaceful images nature provides for us that we sometimes miss out on by being distracted with life...

Just wanted to share these with you...

I hope everyone is have a good night..

It's almost friday!! :)

Good Night!













Ignore my ugly feet.. :)

I'm a Slacker...

I have been bad, I know... ha

So I was tagged forever ago by Amy T , whose blog, I LOVE!! She titles every blog with a song name normally and its so funny!! Her blog is very good so be sure to check it out.. Since I am the horrible fellow blogger I am, I am just doing it.. But I said I would,, and I am.. :)

Here goes...

The tag is as follows:

1) Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you cannot go up to your closet and pull out that cute little purse you used back before you had kids. I want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house. No cheating!
2) I want to know how much it cost:) And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I’d love to hear it.
3) Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you’re showing everyone your bag.


So I couldn't just pick on... :)

I carry this bag, everywhere I go, this is my everyday purse, with my wallet, makeup, hairbrush, you know, the everything bag... My mom gave me this purse, it's all me, its my favorite color, and it help me stay organized with all the pockets.. What's weird is, it was free, her neighbor gave it to her, brand new, had bought it and never used it.. SO i ended up with it..




but when I dont want to carry it, and all I need is a tube of lipstick and my money, i throw it in this tiny purse.. I love love this purse.. its made with buttons.. too cute.. I got this purse at a thrift store.. I think I paid around 10 bucks for it.. If that.. I have had it for years...



This bag stays in my car behind the drivers seat, at ALL times.. I never leave with out it, normally... It's my Tracy Joy Camera bag.. I adore this bag.. and as we know, brittany never leaves without a camera... Including lens cases, I paid around 200 for this bag, but well worth it! :)



I am going to tag:

Jaime
Kati
Jennifer
Becky
Amy

Good Night guys,, and sorry again amy t.. Ill do better next time, I PROMISE!! :)

Wordless Wednesday

This is a pic, I just had to take. It was downtown at the park, more than likely these guys are homeless since almost all people in that park are. I was just amazed at how intense they were with their board game. It also reminded me of something you would see in New Yorks central park.

I don't know why, but I liked it.

Blue Skies

Happy Monday!!

I know I have been slacking lately, I have been avoiding this blog. I hate to vent on here, and act like I have this horrible life and horrible story, and about how unlucky I am,, when in all reality, my nightmare is someone else's walk in the park. I am in my staying positive mode, but how long can a person sit idle in this state... I know it's so easy for you to say, It will happen, Your time is coming, but dang, I don't really want to hear your prediction on when God will decide to bless me with a child. A child to call my own. I am just hitting rock bottom this week, and it's time for me to pick myself back up, once again, throw on a happy face, and hope this doesn't happen for another month or so.

I am sitting here drowning in my own pity pool party, when I should be rejoicing good health, and how lucky I am to be alive ad breathing...

How selfish am I?

I have a lot going on right now, my life has been up and down, more than ever I am missing my brother. I just wish I could run to him every time I am upset and lay down next to him and watch tv like we used to be able to. I am so happy for him and what he is experiencing, I just wish he was a hop and a skip away, not 5 hours. I decided to join weight watchers about 3 weeks ago, and so far so good. It is easier than I thought, but requires a great amount of dedication and self control. I am doing pretty good, or at least I think so. My total weight loss is up to 7.4 lbs. I know that's not a great amount but it's a start. I have also been exercising 3-4 days a week. I am quite proud of myself. I am not on a diet, I am involved in a lifestyle change. I have always had weight problems, but not to the extent I am facing now. It seems as if marriage brought out the worst in me when it comes to eating habits. I found myself comfortable with Michael and began enjoying food even more, 50 lbs later, i looked in the mirror think no this cant be. My infertility specialist has told me that diet and exercise can trigger ovulation alone, so as of now, I have decided to leave the fertility medicines alone and try and focus God's will for me and getting a healthy baby ready body. I go back to my doctor on Tuesday so I will know more then about my pcos and be able to give you a better objective for me over the next several months. I am hoping by July to be a different person physically and a happier more confident person emotionally and mentally. Then at the time, Michael and I will start with fertility medicine. We are both avidly praying for a bundle of joy naturally and appreciate your prayers as well.

Thank you for all of you who are there for me with your sweet uplifting encouraging words. God has blessed me with amazing people to help keep my faith in him stronger than ever.

On a heavier note, I want to take this time to introduce you to a sweet caring girl Carly I know. Please keep her in your prayers, she is 17 and was diagnosed with cancer a couple of weeks ago, something nobody seen coming. I have been talking to her almost every day trying to spread some encouraging words for her to help keep her going and i know she would love your prayers. She started her first round of chemo tonight, I will keep you updates on Carlys long, hard struggle to battle cancer as she faces the hardest time of her life the next several months.

I have some fun and exciting blog ideas so I will be sharing some interesting post's with you, and I hope you enjoy them and play along with me...

Thanks for listening to my ramblings, and putting up with me..

I love you all!!

In God's Name,

Brittany!

Here is a couple of new pics taken of me by my good friend Jaime (without her, my life would be a mess.. She gives me hope for the future with her love and compassion.. and shes share her little prince with me,, we all need baby love..) *wink*
Thanks love..

This is me February, hopefully in July I will be able to post some pics of me looking quite different!!

:)

Nite Nite!
