hahaha ... i love walking outside, especially when
you live in the country like i do ... all the sights and sounds are a
beauty to behold :) i always thought what a convenience it would
be to have a treadmill ... to not hafta leave the house and be able to
get some exercise LOL, but personally I just can't see myself spending
all that money on one when I can go outside and walk for free hahaha this
morning i'm glad i feel that way :) i was coming around the corner, for
some reason i looked down at Gracie (my schnauzer), and saw her pulling
at the leash to get to something, turned to my right and there's a big
ol deer runnin at me LOL... it crossed the field and ran across right
in front of me, not even 3 feet away, went into one of my neighbors
yards, hopped the fence and was gone it was such a lovely sight
:) i love deer.... almost every morning, when i can get out early
enough, i see a whole family of them jumping and running around the
meadow across the creek on the route of my walk
okay so i had a rough day yesterday, with the doctor appt and my broken jayjay and everything LOL (long story haha)
i didnt exercise for fear of hurting myself ... and to top it off, i did the comfort food thing ... i ate a burger (no cheese, just ketchup), and a very large baked potato today =\ (with low fat margarine, low fat cheese, and low fat sour cream at least!)
and to top it off i drank my first regular soda in 3 months ... BAD me... but gawd it was good, it was like heroine coursing through my veins .... LOL, such sweet sin
*sigh* ok back on wagon today...already went for my walk
i'm feeling so refreshed today and so much stronger
... and only a few pounds from my first goal of 240!!! if im extra good
for the next couple of days i might be able to swing it by Monday :)
well I weighed in this morning .... and EVEN with
me going crazy at pizza hut and then having more bad food later that
evening on Saturday.... I'm 244.2 pounds!!!!! omgggg... that's
like 6.8 pound loss this week, not real sure how the heck i did that
but I'LL TAKE IT!!! lol I'm now 2 pounds below my prepregnancy weight of 246 ... i haven't been this low in like 4 years!!! I'm
soooo close to my mini goal of 240 pounds! I definitely should be able
to make it by my timeframe of Sept 1, but probably way before (like
next week hopefully)

yikes that was close hahaha ... target only had ONE of the Ni Hao Kai-lan backpacks left that Teagan wants for school, i had them put it up to the front so jamal (her daddy) could pick it up tonight, along with one of the matching lunch bags
she woulda been so disappointed if we couldn't have gotten that one!!!! I'm glad i thought to check on it tonight and have him get it early (instead of this weekend)
for those interested.... LOL
the backpack :)
lunch bag
sometimes a few bad days do more good than harm.... I
say this, because before I had those few really horrible days last week
with my eating (even though i was still exercising at least 5 days a
week, i went off the wagon as far as my diet)... my weight loss was
starting to slow down a bit .... and i weighed myself this morning and
i've lost 4 pounds since monday!!!! I know a lot of that probably
was a little water retention from sodium and such but so far, at least,
it seems to have jump started me again :) not sure why ... maybe confusing my body, giving my metabolism a jolt or something? i dunno, but i'll take it LOL
today is a new day ... a new month ... and I'm feeling stronger :) yesterday was just rough, food wise (though I DID get off my butt and do my Walk Away the Pounds video [was raining]) this
morning i woke up a little late, was only able to do half of my walk
before it got way too hot ....i was able to do about 20 mins ... i'll
do another 20-30 minutes this evening when the sun goes down :) i've already drank about 36 oz of water LOL (was super thirsty cus of the heat when i came in!) the
good news is that this morning I hadn't gained any weight, I'm still
maintaining at 249.8 ...even after yesterday (man was that good!! LOL)
so if i'm SUPER good the next 2 days I might still be able to shed a
pound or 2 by Monday :) if not ... whatever, i still have plenty of
time to accomplish my mini goal within the time frame i hoped for :)
**meant to post this yesterday, but i forgot ... so technically ... July 31, 2009**
i've decided today is just gonna hafta be a free for all cus my will power went out the door completely when i ate half of a grilled chicken burrito from taco bell this morning LOL (tay ate the other half)
...and a cookout tonight? blah ... forget it LOL
today is just gonna hafta be free for all and i'll get back on plan tomorrow and hope for better results NEXT monday :)
over my life i've been a real yo yo dieter ... like REALLY bad...every time i stop i get heavier and heavier ... but i'd never went past the 270's
needless to say a year or so ago it totally shocked me when i stepped on the scale and saw that i'd gotten all the way up to 291!!!! it was at that point i was like WHOA! i need to do something i cant deal with this .....i don't know why I was so okay with being 275 but not 291 lol
that was when i went on a major diet and i did pretty good i lost about 17 pounds...and got down to 274 ....but then i stopped (AGAIN!) ... i never gained anymore back though
this is why I've decided on this most recent journey (WHICH I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO QUIT!!!!)... to go by the most recent number of 274. But then just a few minutes ago while blogging on here for the first time... I realized, that not stating those little measly 17 pounds (measly compared to my whole journey) ... was almost like taking something away from me.
I have NOT lost 24 pounds ... I've lost 41 pounds!!! and that's a HUGE accomplishment!!! 
As much as I hate to put it on there, that I ever weighed that much (LOL) ... I've changed my stats to include my highest weight of 291.
