Interest Rates...A Public Service Announcement

I don't know how many of you know this but I do loans for a living.

I also don't know how many of you live in California.

But I wanted to let you know that I do residential real estate loans...either purchase, refinance, FHA and reverse mortgages.  The rates right now are AMAZING.  So if you live in Cali (cause I only service California right now) and you are interested in finding out what I can do for you to get you into a smoking rate.....I mean they are better than they have been in a  LONG time......then please send me a message, okay??

Weight loss is going well.  Can't wait for Friday's WI!!

Okay....enough.  Back to workie jerkie!!!

Lean Cuisine....nectar of the gods!!! lol.

Yeah...so it's a lie but Lean Cuisine is good stuff anyway.  :)  It is calculated and easy.  And mindless.  And perfect for work. 

So it is lunch time.  And I am reflecting on how well I am doing.   So far.  I have to say that I am proud of the bit of progress that I am making every day. 

Making the better decisions. 
Drinking the water. 
Eating in for lunch. 
Shopping for groceries and not going out to eat for dinner. 
Working out 3 times a week
 

I am proud of making progress again.  I just asked myself to give a little bit.  Just the teensiest of progress....and I am doing it.  And the other thing is that I am not obesssing about it.  I am watching myself...but not obsessing over any one thing.  And I think that is progress too!!!  Don't you?

Well, that's really it.  :)  Hope everyone is doing great!!

Onward and downward!!

You can't always get what you want...but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need.....

So it is a holiday but I am at work for a bit today.  Had to get a loan in the system so now that that is done I have some time to finish up here and also to blog!!

I don't know if I reported it or not but I had a 2.2 loss this week!!  Nope....looked back at my blog and see that I did not report that loss.  How could I have missed that!!  lol. 

Well, had a nice weekend.  But my little one had a fever all day yesterday that got to 103 at one point so my job yesterday was administering medication all day every few hours and keeping him cool and drinking fluids.  Poor little guy.  But he was much better this morning and his fever went down to normal this morning after his medicine.  He is with his daddy now so I am sure he will pick up where I left off!!  Plus, today is a holiday so he doesn't go to school and that is a good thing.

Things on the food front are going well.  Things on the exercise front are great as well.  I am commited to 3 times a week and a 4th if I can fit it in.  That is working for me.

Since I started back January 2nd, I have lost 6.1 pounds.  I am very happy with my progress.  I am excited to see what I can accomplish.....I am sure that things will just keep on moving right along.  I am going to Vegas this weekend (nothing to get excited about...my best friend lives there and I go a lot.....) but we will not be eating out much because I am staying at her house so that is great!!!  :) 

Well, that's a little check in from me.  I hope everyone who has today off is enjoying it!! 

Onward and downward!!

Two days in a row....don't fall over or anything....

I know...I know....here I am again today!  Can you even believe it? 

Well, I have to say that what I am doing is working for me.  Who knew that if you eat less...and move more....that you can lose weight??  lol.  Go figure, huh?

I just need to once and for all understand that I can not become a human garbage disposal and think that I won't gain weight.  I have to move a few times a week and really watch what goes in the ole mouth, you know?  It sounds so simple, doesn't it?  It really does....but something so simple can turn into something so hard sometimes.  I wish I understood the ebbs and flows of this whole healthy body thing in my head. Why sometimes I am so on and sometimes I am so off.  It stinks. 

But today is another day that I can choose to get it right so I am making that choice.  And doing everything that I can to make that be.  Keeping the right foods at work....and home....not eating out much....working out....and water. 

KISS....keep it simple SISTA!!  :)

Onward and Downward!!

Um...yeah...so anyway......

That is how I have felt for the last few months!!  lol.

So I have some things to share.  First of all, I got back up to 222.9.  Holy SHIT people!!  lol.  I knew I had to do something.  So I am.  I have lost 4 pounds already and this is looking like another good week.  I am on calorieking.com and counting calories.   I am doing 3 simple things.   Counting calories, drinking water and exercising for fat burning....aka, DVDs for cardio.  lol. 

I have a lot to motivate me seeing that I WAS PROPOSED TO ON DECEMBER 26, 2007!!!  Happy happy times indeed.  But it got me thinking about how I look...and the fact that I do want another child...and I don't want to be overweight when I start like I was last time...so I made a choice.  I had to stop what I was doing.  Because as you can see from the scale, onederland is a distant memory and I need to get back moving towards it before I gain back every pound I lost.  So I am on a mission.  My wedding is in September and let me tell you what a motivator something like that can be.

So I wanted to just check in and say hi to everyone.  I hope you are all doing great!!!  :)  And I will come in from time to time to discuss my progress!!  :)

Onward and downward!!!

Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything......

I saw this saying the other day and I love it. 

So even though I did not exercise last night in the conventional way, I got in some 'special' exercise when I got home from work .  But I have committed to doing 4 days this week so tonight, Saturday and Sunday are in my plan. 

I just know that I am going to get far in this leg of my journey.  I really want to make some things happen.  Like fitting into a specific pair of jeans that I love.  I am going set goals that are simple.   Like do what I need to do to get there.  Water, exercise, watch portions.  Not necessarily 'count' anything exactly.  But more do the lifestyle changes that I know work for my body and stick to them.  And when I get to a plateau....change it...shake it up....and so I am committed, most of all, to change.  Change the mindless eating.  Change the not caring what I put in my mouth part.  But I also don't want to do the opposite that I have done too....obsess.  That is probably why I am not so focused on counting or points or some formal way of doing this.  Because I know what works.  I know that if I exercise and eat better, that my body changes.  I know that if I get on the treadmill, it helps.  I know that if I stay away from the Friday donut box at work, that will be a better choice.  I know that if I keep food here in my work refrigerator, that I will have a better chance at success.  So these things are MY focus.  These small basic changes that I know will set me up for success.

Oh yes...and making sure I come here and be with you all.  You are such an inspiration to me.  Every.  One.  Of.  You.

One day down...hey...it's something, right?

Well, yesterday was a good day and today has been too. 

I had a rough day today and could have easily stuffed some things down but I chose not to.  I wanted to and I thought about it.  But I didn't do it.  So that is an accomplishment.

I have to just figure out that no matter how I feel, eating is only going to make it worse so the choice is mine.  Feel bad or overeat and feel worse.  lol. 

Things are looking much better and I got through it without so much anything off my plan passing my lips.

And I exercised yesterday for the first time since September.  And plan on doing it again today. 

I am making a little progress.  One step at a time. 

Thanks for always being here even though I have not.

You can't fool anyone...

What you do in private shows in public.  That is the one thing about being a food addict that is so true isn't it?  I mean, no matter how much I pretend that I am doing well, what is going on shows up on my body in the form of extra pounds.   People know when I am stressed out because it always shows. 

Today I come here with my head held high because, once again, I am committed to making a change.  Yes.  Again.  Yes for the 100th time.  This is a commitment that I have made several times....and who knows if this will be the final one....but I will say that no matter what, as long as I don't give up completely, I will still have won.  I put my corrected weight on this site.  Which means that since my last visit here I have gained 17 pounds and I don't know how that is possible in 2 short months when it seems to take an eternity to just take off one pound....but that is what I weigh.  I am coming here and confessing that to you because when I hide, that is when the weight comes on.  It is when I don't care to count calories, get on the scale, or the treadmill for that matter. 

So I want it back.  My MoJo.  Did you find it?  Well, I seem to have found a small dose.  And so what I intend to do is do what I know.  Pay attention and get on the exercise train.  That is the thing that always helps me most.  When I get on tract with the exercise, everything else seems to fall into place.

I am not going to tell anyone at home...I am just going to do it and make the changes.  I am sure that he notices the 39 pounds that I have put back on and bless him for not saying anything and still being as awesome and attracted to me as always but it is time to get back on the train. 

So here it is day one and I am doing fine.  I know that being thin will not solve all of my personal issues but it will make me feel better physically and my body is rebelling so I will listen.

Love and I will be around now.  Promise. 

xoxo

Wow....2 months.

Man...has it been 2 months since my last post?  Wow....I can't believe it.

I got an e-mail from OneDitto and so I thought I should check in. 

I am over 200 pounds again and that is a place that I have not wanted to go again but here I am.  I am just really not doing anything productive as far as exercise, eating right, etc.  But I know that has to change soon.  My clothes don't fit......I am tired.  But I am just so tired of being on a diet.  I am so tired about counting this or points that.  I am just sick of it.  But I know that is my reality if I want to get to a healthy weight.  Not even something that would be considered a goal weight but even down to 175 right now would be a triumph. 

Life has me stressed out but it is okay because things are getting better every day.  I know I need to get back on the train but I feel like I am standing at the train station and the trains keep zooming by and I can't get on.  I suppose that it will feel like this my whole life and I feel like I lose only to gain.  So how do I become like Shelly?  Or any of the other success stories?  I just don't have the energy to get on the train.  But I want to get on.

So there is an update on me.  I miss everyone but I am so tired of food.  I wish I could just stop eating and get to goal and then figure out what to do from there.
