Weight be gone!

Hi Everyone!  This is my Weight Be Gone Thursday for me.  If you'd like to follow me in my journey you are welcome.  If you'd like to share your own journey feel free to sign my linky below, and I'll come visit you or if you have a great diet recipe that would be appreciated very much. Thank you.  The reason I've started my journey is I had a rude awakening to the reality of life in that I'm not getting any younger, and if I still wanted to lead a fun, and  happy life I had to make  some serious changes.

Well folks going to have to skip this week cuz we bees on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N! I will say one thing getting in some walking too, which is a good thing, and of course swimming.  Tomorrow Great America again, and when I get back I'm going to the Key Lime Cove Paradise Mist Spa , which was given to me by the General Manager, Dale McFarland of the Key Lime Cove Indoor Water Park Resort in return for a review, which will be posted as soon as I get back.  So tomorrow I'm going there, and I'll let you know all about it.  Woo Hoo.  I'm going to say probably over the weekend.  So come back, and check it out.  THANKS!  Having a great time and wish YOU ALL were here! 


We made friend with the Cove's bestest security Rick Munson extremely helpful & one helleva nice guy!  HI RICK!  What a nice smile, huh, but that's another Post coming soon!  Really and it's all about that big smile. It pays to know the local authorities ya never know right? Hahaha He must be bored because this place is just too fun to have any trouble, so what does he do?  He just helps everyone with everything and anything.  He's truly an asset to "The KeyLime Cove" for sure!

And just one more before I go:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG GUY! 
Also:  A quick recipe I enjoy for the summer:

For Waldorf Style Chicken Salad you will need:

  • 1 Large Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast
  • 1 cup Juicy & Firm Apples
  • 1 cup Green Seedless Grapes
  • 1/2 cup Celery
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts
  • 1/4 cup Light Mayo
  • 1/4 cup Plain Balkan Style Yogurt
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • Substitute salt & Pepper to taste if needed
Grilled the chicken breast till done, but it’s nice and juicy. Let it cool down and then chopped into smaller cubes & then wash and dry all your fruit and vegetables.

In a bowl combine chopped apples, chopped celery, cut up grapes (in halves), chopped walnuts, mayo, yogurt and lemon juice. Mix it well. Add the chicken and toss it gently around till everything is lightly cover with the mayo and yogurt mixture.

MOVIE THEME'S, we've had those in the past so let's see if I can come up with something different for ya!
So, back in 1979 I had a little boy, and let me tell you he weight 8lbs. 10 oz & 21 inches long, and he always had a closed fist & arms that swung wild when he was born.  I knew what I had to name him.  Granted his name is Robert, but we call him, "ROCKY"

 when he was little one of his favorite movies was  "NEVER ENDING STORY"

when my little boy grew up & had his own children & his baby is my Tatyanna. When she was little she would watch over & over "THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE"

My oldest child "Wizard of Oz" all the way!
"SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW"
Now one of my favorites just so happens to be... well here I'll just show you...

"ARMAGEDON"  I don't want to miss a thing! Aerosmith.
