WOW, it's been awhile

Ooops, so it's been awhile. Well, that is what happens when you fall off the weight loss truck. LOL.

So we have had some big scares with my Dad's health and I'll soon have answers about my own health issues. So I've been eating very healthy and I joined a Ladies Gym. My sister in law and I are going 4-5 times a week and I'm very addicted to it. I've come to love their bikes, they have comfy seats and I think I could peddle and sweat all day long. My sister in law tends to favor the eliptical machines, They kill my knees, I'm too fat for them. I use them for about 5-6 minutes and my knees are screaming. I like the treadmill.

I want to join the Zumba Dance Class, watched them the other night and it looks like so much fun!!!

So here we go again, see if I can keep on track this time. haha. The Biggest Loser is about to start back up and that was a big encouragement ot me. I would download the epis and I alwasy get tons of good info from it.

Well, I'm off to lala land.

Can You Say Crash and Burn???

So the whole diet thing is really hard when you are going at it solo!!

You should see the literal JUNK my Mom has been buying. It's so bad I now buy my own food, put it in my own fridge and I now own a little 2 burner thingy. I am becoming very independent and I must say it feels great!!! I keep tossing around moving but haven't made that decision yet.

Walking

OK, so I went walking last night and walked at the park again. In my neighborhood I have an area that is a half mile and it is a trial to make it around twice. This park is so pretty I put my earbuds in and get my tunes going and time flies by.

Last night I walked between 2.5 & 3 miles. It wasn't even hard to do and I was ready to keep going but I had started so late it got dark on me. It's so easy to walk there. I get home and start rushing people around. LOL.

I did so good yesterday with my calorie total. Ate very healthy and the scale showed it today. It's frustrating for me because I'm fighting against my body. I just keep plodding along. Sooner or later I'll save up enough money to go to the doctor. LOL. maybe!! Seriously I am working on getting to the doctor because I know my body is messed up. So someday over the rainbow I'll get there and find out what is really wrong and how to fix it. I am just TERRIFIED of surgery and I'm not stupid enough to think it won't happen to me. I just am scared but every woman in my family has gone through it or is scheduled to. So yeah, heads up I'm not healthy enough to think I'm the one that will escape that dreaded surgery. So I keep suffering. LOL.

Hopefully, all my working out will start helping. I am gaining some muscle and that is cool, I guess.

H2O and More

So anyone that knows me well knows I am NOT a lover of water. I had worked up to 4-5 bottles of water and was retaining most of it. So for a time I'm trying an experiment. I'm drinking CapriSun's. LOL. That is the start. Much easier to drink and only 35 calories to a pouch. Not too bad. Then I also try to drink plain water also. I have been drinking a Coke everyday. I buy whatever size my heart desires and drink it and then eat/drink all the ice and water. My thoughts are that all that ice makes less soda in the cup. Right? Well, honestly I don't care. LOL. It's working for me and it's something I can live with.

Ok, I live south of Mansfield but I have, for 3-4 years driven past this huge park near Walmart and there are these huge concrete paths that go under bridges, etc. I have been dying to go check it out and so Saturday night we did. It is awesome!!! I walked 3 miles, the paths have quarter mile markers in the path. I walked from the big park all the way UNDER 287, NOT the business/main street but the real highway one. LOL. Where the baseball fields are. It was great. Plus the park on Walnut Creek is in the hat for a wedding location should I EVER find a man. LOL. It is absolutely gorgeous!!!! Has very much potential.

LOL. Well that is all for my writings today.

So yeah, I messed up

OK, so I gained 4lbs in 5 days. Sigh, I'm sure it's the pizza and garlic bread. LOL. It was sooooo good though.

I worked out today for the first time in several days and WOW, I'm dead!!! LOL, I did pretty good over the weekend with my water, I did drink soda's when I was driving but that was because I get soooo sleepy when I drive so I drank Coke to give me some energy boosts. LOL. I did bad with my food most of the time. But thankfully it is nothing irreversible, it's just getting started again.

I'm totally convinced on the whole stress thing also. I am already down a little bit in just having been home 1 day and that was without working out. But the weekend was very stressful and tense. Alot of blood pressure raising moments. LOL.

We are going to start working out and I'm in charge. I love being in charge. Mom said it should be me because I'm studying and researching everything. YEAH!!!

If you want some good listening with tons of ideas search on google for Jillian Michaels radio show. She gives ton of good info!!!

My head is killing me. I forgot my BP meds and I worked out, so my BP is pretty high I'm sure. Stinks but that is how life is. Also, I am only taking my water pills once a week and the prescription is for everyday. I don't want my body to just be dependent on the pills to shed water. So I make my body do it some on it's own.

I just bought Jillian's book, Making The Cut. I've not had time to sit down and really read it yet. It's a 30 day diet book, so I'm going to try it. I want her metabolism book, haven't been able to find it yet. I think she is the bomb!!! She totally knows what's going on.

Vacation

So I am pretty sure I bombed while on vacation. My clothes are OK, still but I feel blah. But I have to just get up and get with it again!!!

Finally!!!

Yeah!!!

I hit 222 today. I have had 2-3 very bad weeks. Not in eating/workout wise totally but just bombarded with emotional stuff that messes with my mind.

I was stuck at the same weight for 3 weeks. I was so frustrated because I knew what was holding off more weight loss. I took a first step (I kind of wish I hadn't) but I did and just stepping out and acknowledging that I needed help. Chantry says it's the fact that I took the first step and God takes the second one. Maybe that is true. Because I have had a really good, fun couple of days and guess what??? I lost weight. There might be something in that.
