Well it has been a few days since my last blog.  No reason other than just busy, busy.  Tomorrow is my weigh in day, and I’m not sure how that will go.  Didn’t lose any last week, so I am hoping for a better week.  Have been eating very healthy lately and I have a dr. apt tomorrow in the morning because not only do I have high blood pressure, I also have high cholesterol.  I am hoping not to have to go on meds for the cholesterol.  Want to try to control it by eating right.   I’ll let you know how it goes after my apt. tomorrow.  Wish me luck that it isn’t too high!

Well, week 3 has not been kind to me.  No weight loss, but I sort of expected that since I was so terrible this past weekend.  But this is a new week for me and I am determined not to fall off that wagon again…I am going to have more broken bones than I can count if I keep falling off…lol

Oh I was so bad this weekend I can’t even believe it.   Friday nite was Bar B Que & 2 beers…Saturday was cooking for my stepson’s birthday and of course he wanted lasagna & homemade dirty rice and  garlic bread.  I did send all the leftovers home with the kids though, figured if they weren’t there I wouldn’t eat anymore of them. Yesterday, it was rainy and ugly and all my husband wanted to do all day was snack….AAuuugghhhh…

I can do so well during the week, but when the weekend rolls around seems like my willpower goes right out the door.  Anyway, today is a new day and I am again motivated to eat right and behave myself this week.  Tried to talk hubby into joining me in some sort of exercise program…but nothing.  He did say he would go dancing on Saturday nites, but guess what??  I can’t dance worth a shit…I look like Elaine on Seinfeld…lol  But that sure would be great exercise if I wasn’t so embarassed to get out there on the dance floor and make a fool of myself….hhhmm

Well week two showed a 2 lb loss and I am just tickled pink with that.  I will take a 1 to 2 lb loss weekly and be happy about it.  I think by taking it slowly maybe I can keep it off…hope so anyway..

Just found out yesterday that my new grandbaby is going to be a girl…more excitement.  Can’t wait to go buy girlie pink things…lol 

Well week two is almost upon me and I’m feeling ok about it.  I can’t really say that I have been super strict with myself, but I am doing a bit here and there and I think I will have lost a pound of two by tomorrow.  I have really been drinking the water and eating breakfast (usually non fat yogurt and low fat cereal)…and back to better lunches at work.  I guess my mindset is just not quite there yet…how long will it take for me to get there?

I have problems with Friday nites…my husband & I and our best friends have been going out to dinner & drinks for the last 14-15 years…we do it EVERY Friday nite and it is really hard sometimes to eat right.  Most of the time I tell myself if I am good during the week, then Friday nite I can cheat…

Anyway, tomorrow is weigh in day so I guess we will see how this week was.  Hope everyone has a great day and much success ..

What is it about mothers that no matter our age, they can still make us feel like children?  I am planning a trip home at the end of April to visit my mother and other family members and have been dreading it since I planned it.  First, she will cook all this food and try to get me to eat nonstop, then she will make snide remarks about how much weight I have gained…aaauuuuggggghhhhhhh! 

I really am looking forward to the visit, but have these dreaded thoughts in the back of mind.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my family, but sometimes they irritate the crap out of me. 

So, my goal was to try and drop a few lbs before the end of April and not eat everything in site when I get home.  Wish me luck as I am probably going to need it 

Family…….gotta love ‘em… 

Well after a week I have lost one pound, and you know what? I am happy with that.  I had a very rocky week and was actually thinking that I gained or stayed the same…so I am ok with one pound.  I am really trying to get my butt in gear and work harder so maybe next week it will be 2 lbs… Thanks to everyone for their support and I plan to keep on going on this journey.

Well tomorrow is my weigh in day…it will be a week since I joined you all in my quest.  I have to admit I started out gangbusters, but seemed to fade a bit.  Went out to dinner several times, had a snow storm and was stuck in the house for a day and a half…If I don’t gain I think I will be happy with that…..but I am going to get back at it in a big way and get some of this excess weight off of me!! Thank you all for your kind words of support…it really makes me feel as if I can do it!

I have come to the conclusion that I am a sneaky eater.  I will eat a snack sometimes when I get home in the evening before my husband comes home and I start cooking dinner.   That way it doesn’t look like I eat as much when I sit down for a meal.  Then of course, when I am cleaning up the dishes there is that little bite here and that little bite there…why would anyone be like that?  I am aware I am doing it, but continue to do it anyway. Then of course, the obvious guilt…I don’t understand why food has a hold on me like this…It’s not like I ever went hungry as a child or anything.  Any ideas anyone?

Well I did manage to start up the old treadmill last nite.. I only walked about 20 minutes, but hey, that is 20 minutes more than the nite before, so I’m giving myself a pat on the back for it.  I did really well as far as my eating too, just a healthy choice dinner and lots of water… this morning didn’t know what to do about breakfast so I made a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat…hope that isn’t too awful bad for me.  I did bring lunch today of another Healthy Choice pizza. I love pizza and this is the best way for me to not overeat..I had 2 boxes of Girl Scout cookies in my desk yesterday so I put them upstairs in the kitchen where everyone could eat them and not just me sneak one every once in a while..I’m hoping outta site, outta mind.  I love being able to get on here and get out what I am thinking and feeling..it is really great!
