slowing down....

Well I don't know if anyone can answer my blog.  Anyway it has slowed down, way down, way way down....   you get the picture.  I been working hard and walking but it has become very hard.  I only need 10 lbs. now.  The good thing is I am happy at 153.  It would be nice health wise to go down the other few lbs.  It does not feel like a few pounds.  That, is what the JC girls say. 

I feel good!  How is everyone doing?  I think it is harder now that my Daughter is finished with JC.  Well I'll go for now......

I'm back....

Missed everyone....  I haven't had a computer to use!  Well what's going on?  I hope everyone is a little lighter...

In June I told Gina, if I ever hit the 150's I could live with that.  Well I posted my numbers.  I've made it!

In the middle of June I barely made it into the high 150's.  I haven't made it any lower than 157.4.   But I've been a bad girl.  Boy with the kids here we have eaten out to many times.  I thought we would get plenty of exercise.  We did but we also ate out to much!

I remember when Gina was getting down to her last 10 lbs. she went forever without losing.  I told her it was better to lose inches!  I still believe that, but a few more lbs. wouldn't be that bad.

I think I'm back on the right track....    I'll write more tomorrow....  bye for now......

I made it!!!

I made it, I walked the 3 miles!!  It was great.  There were thousands of people.  Well in the race there were something like 39 thousand......  Then there were all the people not participating.

My Daughter and Son-in-law RAN the 3 miles.   Wow can you believe that?  Surprisingly I made it to.   Only I was walking.  The weather was beautiful and cool.  We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Last week I went with my Daughter to  Atlantic City.  Guess what I did?  Walked and walked.  Three out of 4 days I walked around 5miles.  It prepared me for the 3K.  Gina was only able to walk a little, but I walked what felt like forever.  We ate out most meals, but we tried to eat salads.  I hope everyone did well last week?

Feels good!!!!!

I lost a little this week.  It feels good.  Boy it won't be long and I'll be in the 150.  I could live with that!  I wouldn't feel bad to say I weighed 159.  It just sounds good!

I bought some clothes this week.  That also felt good.  One, not having to go to the fat dept.  Two, having some choices for a change.  Three, fitting in clothes that are comfortable.  The list goes on!!!!

Today when I went to Jenny Craig the girls were late.  This always happens.  If you go when it opens, they are late.   If I wait later then they are backed up, and you have to wait forever.  Does anyone else have this problem with their JC?  Four people were waiting outside this morning, one girl showed up.  Shortly another one came.  When I left 45 minutes later the girl that was supposed to open still wasn't there.  They rush us in and out like cattle.  Then other women wanted to report them. 

My Daughter said at other JCs they ring bells when you lose weight, they give you ribbons, as incentives, when you lose inches.  I have never heard anyone ring a bell.  I have been measured 5 times, received ribbons twice.  If you think what does this matter?  Since I haven't really experienced it, it doesn't matter.

As I have said before my Daughter is my inspiration!  I just wonder what other JCs are like.  How do they treat you?  The young  girls  at our JCs could care less. 

Well anyway next Saturday, we are walking a 5K.  My Daughter and Son-in-law are running, me and my Granddaughter are walking.  My Granddaughter could run, but she is walking so I won't have to be alone.  Isn't that sweet.  I know I can walk the distance, but how long will it take?

we did it!!!

Last week was a bad one.  This week I lost a few ounces.  But now the good news!  My Daughter made it ALL THE WAY!!!!  She made it to goal.  Can you believe it?  

We are both on the Jenny Craig wall.  Me for being halfway to goal, her for reaching her goal weight.  Wow, she had a hard few weeks.  With Mothers day Sunday I didn't think she  would make it.  Mothers day hurt me a little.  We went out  Saturday for our Mothers day dinner.   Then we decided to go to the movie.  My Daughter took me and my Granddaughter to the movies.  We went to see a scary movie!  Disturbia, I would recomend it. 

Anyway we ate popcorn,  of course.  Then Sunday we went to a baseball game. I ate popcorn!  Maybe this week will be better!  Anyway good luck to everybody!

good weather....

Today was a nice day....  This morning I walked on the treadmill.  I'm trying to change the time I walk on the treadmill.  I usually walk in the afternoon, but that gives me time to change my mind.  I can always think of something more important.

Today we went to Home Depot several times, and worked on the yard.  It was nice, get exercise,  and enjoyed it also.......

on the board...

Today I had my picture taken for the Jenny Craig wall.  I'm officially halfway there.  Wow!!!!!!!!!  Next week my Daughter will probably have her picture taken, she will be to GOAL!!!!!!!!! 

Today My Daughter was 4 ounces short of her goal!  We will both be on the board, me for halfway, her for goal!!!!!  We have lost 60 lbs. together.  I'm rooting for her to make it next week.

Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness for the dogs and kids.....

This would have been alot harder if it weren't for the DOGS AND THE KIDS!!!  Somedays I don't want to do any walking, that's all there is to it!  Then my  Grandson comes home from school and wants to go for a bike ride, or walk the dogs, or just go for  a  walk!  Thank goodness.  I like the treadmill, but not as much as walking and talking with my Grandson....   this summer we should have more fun than last year!

Just keep walking and talking in mind when losing weight.  The dogs and kids come in handy.  Walking is so good for weight loss. I knew that before but had nowhere to walk.  I hope everyone keeps this in mind for the summer.  Good Luck.....

half-way there....

Boy half-way feels really good.  I personally didn't think I would see such good results, so soon.  My Daughter had wonderful results very quickly.  But as I have said before she has worked (worked-out) very, very hard.  I have tried to stay on the diet and I have walked.  But not much more than that.  Now that the weather has improved we are now walking and biking. 

We  will do much more now, with the weather and all.  I can't wait!   I saw something about Diabetes on TV this morning.  That reminded me of my big Health improvement!!!!  I am now in my mid 160's.  Boy when I was young and skinny that would have sounded crazy.... but it feels good!  I wish everyone else good luck too.....
