wow, how time flies… I am down another 1.5 lbs and steady plugging along. I am not doing any one thing so strictly I am making myself nuts. I am being sensible, I am being practical, and I am being honest with myself. The other day, my boyfriend was having some potato chips, and I had a few. I savored every last 3 that I took. They were so salty and yummy, but 3. It really is about control for me and I think if I can stay on top of that, I can have the success I am looking for. The food doesn’t have to control me, I can and will control the food. The water intake is well beyond great. My new employer has a Poland Springs water dispenser at work, so yummy refills all day long- I’d say at least 100 oz…. and probably 40-60 oz of Arizona diet green tea w/ honey & ginseng( thanks Tony, I LOVE it ) 

Last week I exrecised a bunch. I hiked the forrest a few days- one day I went out twice, the following day I hurt my heel- Not sure what I did, so I may have to have it checked out, as I cant put any pressure on it. YIKES. Me and my left foot. Same foot I broke the toe on. Well, today is my day off, so off to run( not literally ) errands and get some busy work done. Hope everyone enjoys their long weekend. Take Care!!!

After a tough week, I was able to maintain my 1.5 loss from last week. I was worried, as my new job has food brought in almost daily. I feel like I am retaining a lb or do, I mean 2, if you know what I mean?? Sorry, I couldnt resist.

I was motivated by Robyn’s post, to start next week off fresh- no worries of the past, just focus on lowering food intake, increasing activities- saying no to Dunkin Donuts.  

I’m in the beginning stages of doing my family geneology search- I’m trying it on my own, as it can get quite costly. I have a couple leads, and it’s very exciting. My children have been in Florida since saturday- they went to Disney w/ their father- too bad the weather was so wet…… They are due back tomorrow, and I will see them Sunday evening. It’ll have been 12 days- too long for me.

Have a great weekend everyone. One day at a time.

Just a quick note to say I’m back on board. It has been a very hectic few months, and weight loss unfortunately didnt make it to the top of my priorities. I have made many possitive changes in my life, and my health and happiness are interwoven now. So, as today is Friday and weigh in day, I am pleased to say I lost 1.5 lbs this week. I am not sure how I will be doing my blog yet. Posting all the numbers was a lot of work, and I seemed to get overly frustrated with it, so I may just sit down and just type. 

I have started a new job. 30 hrs a week, it free’s me up to start my yoga classes and I now have a salon in town, I am offering Reiki at. So as you can see, I havent been sitting around. I was making things happen. Now it’s time for me to focus on myself. I had gained some of the 15 lbs I lost before back, so I am still below 200, but would like that number to continue downward. I have a great distant coach and she has been awesome. She is positive and encouraging, and I’m grateful she took me on. 

More to come.
