Tuesday night

well its tuesday night two minutes till wednesday morning, work was a challenge as usual.working with alzheimers residents is a challenge, starting to get burned out.the kitchen sent over a big plate of pastries and i decided, what the hell and put one on the plate. of course it was the biggest best one, i looked at it and wondered what i was doing, i’ve came this far and was not gonna backslide. so i did what everyone would do..ha ha.. i gave it away.it was a hard thing to do. i was proud of myself and rewarded myself with a can of diet a @ w root beer. two more days until the weekend and i’ll be off. planning on going to the beach. well thats it for tonite..

tuesday

here it is, tuesday and back to work for me. i was off yesterday and went to the park. i hate only having one day off, it goes too fast. but i can look forward to the week-end, both days off. but they usually call me in to work. i always say that i’m not gonna answer my phone, but i always do and then regret it.today was weigh day and lost two more pounds, was hopeing for more but two lbs is better than gaining. thursday is my interview for the new job.i pray that i get it, my present job is killing me all the lifting is hard on my back and dealing with alzs residents that are in different stages. well gotta start getting my act together and think about going to work three hours.

Here i am

here i am, writing my first blog about dieting.dieting has been a life long challenge.reality finally hit me when my brother passed away and i didn’t have anything to wear to the funeral. went in search of something nice.well i discovered that i wasn’t thin enough to get what i thought was apporiate and i finally ended up with what i could fit in. 11 months of feeling sorry for myself and pure denial, i bought a scale. got on the scale and it read err. well to my amazement, err ment that i weighed over 350 lbs, so i sneaked on the scale at work and lo and behold i weighed 357 lbs.well this was a wake up call for me.tried ww, didn’t work. tried adkins and it made me sick. so i felt i was doomed. i read some where in my diet travels about reducing fat in your diet and this aids in the loss of weight, so i waited to after thanksgiving and started on my journey today my weight is down to 283 lbs, and still working at it. i work with alzheimers residents and am active 8 hrs a day and now i’m trying to switch jobs, but the one i’m trying to get is a desk job, so i’m worried about the inactivity and need to look into an exercise program.
