It does take time and patience like everything else.

Haven't blogged in awhile - still fighting the battle.  I am slowly taking off the 12 pounds extra I gained once I stopped going to WW it took 8 weeks to gain and over 3 months to lose it!
I like my Thursday WW class, leader is good, even the back up leader but not the same as my original @work leader she will always be the best.
I hit my highest weight ever of 207.  I'm down to 197 but it's been a struggle.  My motivations are I have a trip to Florida in Jan and I will see people I haven't seen in years at a birthday party.  I would like to be 20lbs down in the 170s.  I am not worried about the holidays as I use to be because it's one day here and there.  Holidays use to be for weeks and weeks of indulging.
 
Life hasn't gotten less stressful but I think it's my 'tude and the way I approach it now.  When mom gets angry I don't react to her - neither do I try to change her way of doing things even when she is dead wrong I let it go.  My brother has taken over and poisoned her mind and SO be it.  He has moved another low-life into her condo and I don't let her know I have the slight idea.
 
so on ward and DOWN ward!

DAY 2 of restart.... oh boy!

Well our @work is no longer so I joined a WW meeting instead.  And not soon enough - I gain all my 10lbs plus another 2.  I was so out of control but this is day two back - my official weigh in at weight waters was 201.5.  That is the highest I have ever been.even pregnant!
 
so I am back in the gain and planning and planning my menu
 
:D

No @work class for tomorrow

Well now I have to decide which WW Traditional Meeting I want to attend.  Plus I need to do it this week as that free registeration is up soon.  It's really too bad we had a nice group of people.  Plus I LOVED our leader she was really good and became familiar with everyone.  Oh Well.  I'm either going to go to an express class on thursdays during lunch or an after work one.  I am up because of no accountability with a class.  I need the group support.  some people can do it on their own I need the weekly meetings to keep me in gear.
 
I did go to water aerobics again Sat... just love that class.  It starts at 9 and is over by 950 a.m.    I have the whole day to do stuff.  My two friends didn't show but I was find doing it with strangers - everyone is friendly and I like it.  My arms were sore again she does tons of arm stuff.  I plan on going this Sat. as well.  esp if hubby works over-time  NO exc use!
lol
well back to work!

back at it again......

I fell off the wagon...... :[
 
and boy do I feel it!
 
 
Our @work series with WW hasn't restarted as we are recruiting people.  Doesn't look good so I will have to decide whether I want to do the WW express during Lunch and walk over to the class every Thursday or pick a few to try after work.  I just can't commit to a Sat. morning - I won't do it.  But I need Weight Watcher Classes to keep me honest..... grrrrrrrrr
 
So I started back on my WW program on my own and need to get to the grocery store for fruits and veggies - getting low.
 
Good news bad news....  my bp is normal... but I need to monitor it and let the doctor know should it sky up again. Now I'm only on a Diuretic - that's the good news.  Esp. since I'm sick of all the side effects and trying one bp med after another.  Now my blood work... sugar is up and so is my Cholestrol.  She wants me back on WW plan and Exercise. 
 
I even moved my CD stereo from the basement to the living room so I can play music and dance around when no one is home for some cardio!  LOL.
 
I plan on going to Water Aerobic class on Saturdays as much as I can.  I went for the first time in years last Sat. and LOVED it.  Here is this retired, much older then me women, and she is in terrific shape. Not an inch of fat on her - plus, she is a Good teacher too.  It's with a weight belt so helps with the resistance in deep end.  Starts at 9 and goes till 950 so a great 45 min work out.  She does stretching too and I loved that.  Me and another girl are the youngest in class and I'm such a beginner.  These older ladies are yaking and not out of breathe because they are advanced... lol.
 
My body is sore from Ab ball class yesterday we did a lot of inner thigh stuff and man do I feel it!  wow.
 
So hopefully closer to my 189 goal by Halloween - next week - just closer to it  195 193 196 whatever!
 
gotta do this, gotta do it for me.

my thoughts....

I hardly exercised this week.  Every time I tried to get up early I didn't.  I have DVDs I want to start using in the morning. I think I need to do the trick with the alarm 10 mins earlier every week and put it across the room so I have to turn it off - I have a snooze button - all I do is hit the button and roll over for the next 5 mins.  This way I'll get up take the dog out and then work out.  I feel so alert and refreshed when I work out in the morning.  Energized.
 
I have been staying on-track with eating and WI is Tuesday. So I know I'm still losing.  But still no word on Weight Watchers at work but we won't know the results till 9/25.  I certainly hope we will continue.  I will join a class if not at work.
 
My Ankle is much better but not 100 pc I want it to be normal again so I can start walking outside while the weather is nice.  Fall is my favorite time of year - cool and crisp but managable.  I even found my daughters old MP3 player to download songs too.  It's a larger model problem the first sizes they made but who cares, better then my CD player that skips!  Someone at work showed me how seems simple.  He had a cable too so I need to find her's or buy a new one.  kool beans!  I can put Cher, Abba, eye of the tiger, suddenly I see on there!
 
News in Florida is mom is not feeling well at all.  Mom is on dialysis at home.  She gets infection after infection.  I have offered her to move up to Ohio with us but she gets mad at me. My aunt called me but I cannot do anything about it she won't go to the doctors or the ER.  Only my brother can convince her and afterall he lives with her.  He is too self-involved to pay attention - Turkey! 
 
While I was running around last night I had to urge to stop at McDonalds for a HAPPY meal.  I decided I would not be HAPPY with myself if I got that an hour after eating so I went home and had my left over stir fry.   That was one of those - wait a few minutes and think!  It worked.  Well I'm trying to decide what to do for lunch - I brought fish and a tomato. 
 
have a great week looking forward to being 194 193 by Tuesday. my mini goal.

weekend please hurry up!

it's only 4 o'clock and it has been a long day here!  tick tock tick!
 
I'm feeling fat today and staying on-program even though I want to eat unhealthy.
 
I can tell I'm coming down with something as my throat is stratchy and my head is getting foggy.  Great I took a mental health day Tuesday and I'll probably be sick!
 
I was reading in an old journal and I never seem to get pass 190 well I'm not letting that happen this time.  I want to be in the 180s by October.  My goal.
 
My hair is short again and managable and the last time I was there was 4/4  5 months ago!  No wonder I could not stand it!  ha ha.
 
Well my college student comes home tonight and hopefully she'll hang around somewhat this weekend.  Doubt it as she is always at her boyfriends.
 
This weekend I will cook out healthy!
not binge
exercise even if one day
and
drink my water
till tomorrow!

Beauty Day

I finally made an appointment to get my hair cut - it has to be at least 6 months!
 
I wanted to do it before the long weekend.  I even took Tuesday off so I can putt putt about the house.  I do plan on working out whether dancing around or doing the stationery bike.
 
No WW for 3 weeks and I really need to stay in check so I'll be posted daily to stay on-board of my mini goal.  Afterall I bought pants for the Fall that I can't button until 10 pounds.  My incentive.... lol
 
have a great day all!

Week 2 - down another pound

Yipee!  I lost actually 1.4 at weigh in today with Weight Watchers.  So slowly but surely getting closer to my 190 area that I never get pass - oh but this time I WILL.
Today was our last day of the at work WW series and we are hoping to continue 9/29.   I have decided if we don't get the 15 people we need to continue class during lunch that I need to continue WW classes on my own.  Whether I do them on my lunch Thursdays or go after work.  I can always try a bunch after work and find a leader I like.  The thing is I truly respect and enjoy this leaders' classes.  I know it's me that motivates myself but Sheri is awesome.  She is down to earth and relates to everyone.  Plus she always keeps the class on track and so encouraging. She never discourages you for a weight gain and just is the type of WW leader everyone needs that is a turtle like me. Plus,  I WANT MY 10pc accomplishment chain! 
My DD calls or emails me everyday so far and I find it cute.  I do miss her but so happy she has the opportunity to go to College and start her life as an adult.  Wow 18 years of just me and her.  I centered my whole life around her... it's weird. I have been thinking a lot about her father and how he is missing out on a fantastic person.  And someone who is part of him. He chooses not to contact her - she has made so many attempts and I feel bad for her.  This just happen since April that he doesn't call or email.  She thinks its a fault in her he doesn't bother but it isn't   -   it is so him.  I saw this coming years ago. Who knows what the problem is  at the moment but I can't be bother to badger him for the last 1,000 he owes in child support.  It's not worth my time or health to get frustrated over a loser.  Unfortunately, DD knows he is a loser as well and believe me it's not by me saying a word to her.  All these years of keeping my mouth shut.  She has asked me time and time again why I married him and I never say anything negative to her.  Enough of this subject - so depressing.
My ankle is so much better so hopefully tomorrow I can do a DVD if not then I'll do my bike.
Well enough of my ramblings.
have a great day

Physically Stronger even if it doesn't show.

I'm thinking of throwing on music and dancing for 30 to 45 minutes?  It's cardio right?  I am sooooooooooo sore!  We did some weight resistance training in ab ball class on Thursday.  So my arms feel like gorilla arms and my thighs and inner thighs are sore from all the wall squats and bar squats.  That teacher is a killer...  the thing is...  even at this weight I know I'm physically stronger.  While moving my DD into her dorm she decided to loft her bed like her roommates well it was only me and her friend's boyfriend to lift the bed and loft it in.  The two girls helped but they both weight about 100 pounds a piece - skinny minis. He helped me unload the car as well - I brought hubbies' dolly.  Ryan asked me sooooo  what are we benching these days 200 - 300 - 500 pounds?  I was amazed you had that power who knew (what he meant is looking at round me who knew!!!)  I laughed and said well I guess working out really is helping me.  He said no doubt.   Well that feels good coming from a 20 year old that mom is pumping iron!!!!!

So today have to decide... but I'll do something.

Thinking of finding a WW fish recipe for dinner tonight. 

want to be 195  to 193 at WI on Tuesday.  This is my last class @work till the new session on 9/28. 

How's everyone else doing?

Start of College for my only daughter tomorrow

I wanted to get up early today and do a DVD but slept in.  Tomorrow I move my daughter into her college dorm.  I have such mixed emotions with this!  I can cry about it at a drop of a hat!  I'm also nervous because the college does not show any payments.  I have one made through my college fund  - check issued 8/4 and the other through her sallie mae loan.  Some parents are telling me not to worry just have her go down to financial and they probably have the sallie mae check for her to endorse.  I just have been going around and around with all this financial aid stuff that I'm exhausted and stressed from it all.  This has been going on since Jan when I started the FASA.  I will give her copies of the approval letters to show them for proof... oh well.......
 
Today my ankle is better still sore and stiff but better and the water pill is kicking in I'm peeing all the extra fluids out  (sorry if TMI) .
 
Oh well off to ball class soon - at least I can relief some stress there! 
 
a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
