Sunday cookout!

Our neighbors are having a cookout to celebrate the new patio just put it. Just bring yourselves they told us.. so I walked over and immediately smelt hamburgers and hotdogs cooking and people eating plates filled with potatoes salad and yummie things. I stayed for a few minutes and excused myself went into the house and made a delicious salad without to much fuss, I feel satisfied.. now I will walk back over for some conversation and perhaps bring along my cup of tea.. I am glad I had the ability to control my stomach from what my eyes were taking in and yelling at me to go for it!!!  one small accomplishment in my food consumption today!!!

In the Merry Month of May!!

Since my last post I dropped 11 pounds!! Don't want to find them either. I've been making an effort on less food consumption and less salt,sugar.. Went to a birthday party yesterday and I passed on the cake & icecream. Prior to the party I went for a walk it was so nice out.Can't wait for my face to look just a little slimmer.My niece is doing the HCG diet and she has lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks, she looks great, it really shows.but for me, I am doing it w/o any HCG, just RE (Real Effort) .I can't wait to report I've lost 20 pounds!! Eleven is good!

Spring Movement!

Spring has arrived!! I've started back outdoors. Walking 30 or so minutes currently but I'm going to extend the length of time on my walks. Used my total fitness gym today. When I start to exercise , sometimes I find I actually want to eat less just because I know that I am doing something good for my body. I hope everyone who celebrates Easter has a great day today, and hopefully you can squeeze in alittle time outdoors to walk.

Here today..

I kept my food portions on the smaller side today added plenty of green veggies... Went walking 1/2 an hour or so.. did alot of housework and funiture rearranging by myself so should count for moving too.. Tomorrow after work, I will stop to pick up lithiuim batteries for my mp3. I don't notice as much how long I've been walking when I use it unless my legs start feeling the walk..that makes me happy. It was pretty brisk and a bit windy today. They are calling for rain tomorrow so I'll have to hop on my elliptical. I didnt weigh myself this morning but I will tomorrow and record it..
My neighbor mentioned towards the end of the week they are calling for the tempts to rise near 80!! NICE!!!! Spring is always a motivator.. it's keeping it going that has the hurdles to conquer...

My truthful confession.....

It's been nearly 5 months since I last visited the EP community.. a long time...
I had dropped everything.. I want to get back into the exercise & better health again instead of the food court & computer games. One mistake I made was deciding to play a virtual game on FB, it occupies almost all of my time.. not good...I want to be on it constantly and that is my major reason I've gotten sedentary. I'm just going stop playing it, because I'm sacrificing my health, all that work I had gotten was lost and now has to be regained again.What I am happy about is, spring is nearly at the door and that alone is a motivator... I've been out for a few walks on the nicer days after supper. Looking forward to putting some spring in my step. I hope everyone has been doing well and is healthy. Remember alittle here and alittle there... :)

HI EP friends.. I haven't been here and I regret it, but I've poked my head back into the community.  Spring is knocking at the door and I've been talking short walks. Looking forward to doing more.. I hope everyone has been in good health and I miss talking with some of you. Have a great fitness day!!

Another month slips bye..

Oh I haven't forgotten why I joined this site, but for reasons  that have been over whelming for me, I have not lived up to my end of the bargain. After adjusting  my life to my son having moved to far for comfort for me I found myself at a loss of interest to exercise. Shortly after, my mother had fallen very sick and was hospitalized for 14 days... She past away November 4th... pardon me but.. I'm still not over it.. My sister & I have just finished vacating my moms apartment and personal affairs. I'm recovering from the flu and have been focusing on getting my health back. So here I am today....
Tomorrows lunch will be healthier and I will start back with exercises..

Snow flakes in October!!!

I pulled into the driveway after work today, and noticed small amounts of snow spitting from the heavens. It didnt last long but I know it's just around the corner.
I havent taken care of myself as intended since I last was here. A few things are coming to a head here and I'm working to get beyond them. Monday my son will be saying his final farewells as he embarks on relocating to Ohio. I'm sure I will get to see the ring he bought for her tomorrow after work. I've planned a gathering on Sunday with family & friends for him. I've taken Monday off, as I know I will need it after all the goodbyes.... Boowhoo..
 I'm crosstraining in another DC this week, the drive is alot shorter, love that. Will have to bid to get into the other DC. Not to mention I've been shoving in OT, I volunteered to put in a full day on Saturday to work.
 I guess when I think about it, there should be no excuse and I should selfishly squeeze in me time, I was doing really good.
I will get back to that, the replacement parts arrived yesterday for my total fitness gym YAY!!!  I haven't forgotten why I'm on this site. I want to get me back!!
Monday I will designate me time.

It's been nearly a week

Afternoon people,
 It's been nearly a week and I haven't clicked onto the EP community at all. Had some personal difficulties but I am back. A passing of a friend. Rest In Peace. I havent participated in any exercising or dieting, and I know that can be damaging to any goals I've anticipated for myself.
 I'm here and ready to move forward. It will be nice having Monday off. Tomorrow, switching rooms around in the house to make the rooms more functional and the best part of it is I will get an exercise room from it. (CHEERS HERE!!!) Of course I discussed a new futon and flat screen telle for my very good husband who will inherit the new den,LOL!! He said;" Yes I can see that!" So, He's happy,I'm happy. I'm going to start back on the elliptical today.
Lets be thankful for the time we have by do something to make ourselves healthier.

What happened on Saturday?

Saturday came, Saturday went. No exercise occured. I woke up decided to hangout around the house,we had a recall for our stove.Manufacturer said it could possibly turn on without turning it on and catch fire. So, I had to wait for the tech to arrive. He came & left, but he forgot to took up the connections in the back so Norm did it today being Sunday. It's a good thing there was no charge because the tech failed at his job properly to much in a hurry & not very friendly if I may say. He came all the way from New Hampshire too. So after he left yesterday , I made a sandwich and started to watch a show around 1:00,next thing I knew it was 5:30 Norm was calling, he was on his was home from work. After that I felt more tired than when I sat down. So that was Saturday. I weighed myself in the early morning, lost 1 pound. Happy!!!
