I am working on it

well, here I am again. I am not gaining weight. I am slowly loosing it. Feeling good, and always aware of what I eat. I fight this weight problem everyday. Who says you have to look like a grandma? I wish my thighs did not have dimples. UGLY. I need to work out, but I am sooo tired. Get up off my butt is what I am going to do, starting today. Good luck to all of you out there.

YAAAA-HOOOO

Hi to all. I am excited. I have lost another pound and my big clothes look too big on me now. WOO-HOO. I am wearing clothes that I have not been able to wear in a long time. I feel really great, I guess I gave up salt completely because I don't even think about it anymore.

I am still using a small plate for my meals and not going back for seconds. My co-workers have been making some wonderful comments. I weigh once a week, and I think about what I am putting in my mouth. And I make my own breakfast instead of going thru Hardee's every morning. I am pumped!

I fought it off

We all know what family get togethers are all about. Tons of food and lots of laughter. We went to a sure nuff cookout yesterday and man did it smell good. I resisted the potatoes and sausages, that was tough enough. I ate one hamburger and had a hand full of chips. This was an all day event as it turned out, so I feel like I did pretty well. I have no problem turning down birthday cake and ice cream. Not use to it anyway. I did come home and have sugar free chocolate pudding. They don't know what they are missing. Have a good day everybody.

Is it Arthur visiting,or the exercise

Well, it rained yesterday, and my body hurt like the dickens. I blamed it on the weather cause I hurt so bad. I worked my usual 10 hours and everytime I got out of my chair I knew I had to walk around a bit. Then it dawned on me about 6:30 last evening. It is not Arthur visiting, it is my body rebelling from exercise. I am going to stick with it though cause I need to. I do not believe the old saying no pain no gain. But I figure if I keep going I will work out all those kinks I am feeling. I am 52, not a young chick anymore, but who says I have to be Frumpy?  I love being able to get on here and put down my thoughts.. This is very motivating for me.

Yeah, the scale moved today

Well, imagine that. The scale actually moved this morning. I feel sooo good about that. I am exercising some, and still not adding any salt to my food. Yes, I am still using that small plate and not going back for seconds. I have BBQ chips in the cabinet, but they are left unopened. That is a BIG DEAL. I also bought sugar free cinamon rolls a few wekks ago, and they are still in the fridge. What is happening to me? Whatever it is, I am liking it.

NO SALT IS OKAY

I took my daughter's advice and bought some Mrs. Dash seasoning. Not bad I must say. No added salt yesterday what soever. So, I feel good about this change. It will help my blood pressure and maybe I wil not retain so much water weight. My fingers are not swollen today and that is a good sign. I am feeling pretty good.

Scale hasn't moved

Oh well, at least it is not moving up. But , I think I need a new one cause who knows if it is right anyway. It has to be at least 100 years old in my mind. I have been pretty good but not as good as I can be. Still eating on a small plate though. I thought about buying frozen meals, but decided against that because it can be so expensive. One thing I am considereing is cutting out the salt.

I have always used alot of it on everything. This would help my blood pressure too. I know it would. So, starting today I will do it Maybe then food would not be sooo tasty.

I hate Mondays

Well, here I am again. The rugrats left about 12:30 this morning.My house is a disaster. I ran after those three all weekend, and I am beat. Got lots of dishes to do after all this.

I left washrags in the tub overnightI was too tired to reach for them.  I did pretty good with eating though. I did the usual using a small plate and no seconds. Kids eat like crazy. I had to go get formula Sunday morning and like to have never found it. By the time I did, I thought I was going to die from hunger. Went to Mcdonalds and got sausage biscuits-ate 2 of them and felt better. I kinow, it was not a good decision but I did it anyway.

Today will be better.

Wow, This is some weekend

Hello everyone. I blew it today. Well, sort of. We are babysitting 3grandkids for 2 days and nights. The good new is we are still kicking. Whew. I almost forgot what it was like to feed a baby bottle in the middle of the night. No problem though cause I am up in the middle of the night anyway. I had 2 hotdogs today before they got here. Guess I felt like I was gonna need the energy. Whatever. Anyway, all is good. I think I am going to check out an exercise machine. My daughter says that is no fair cause she wants one. I told her she would probably get it anyway. I need low impact because I have had a knee replacement. I know how to get  plenty of exercise now just chasing three rugrats around. It is fun though. Keeps us all young.  I am going to really wtach my intake today. Still using small plates and trying to control myself.

Godd luck today everyone.

I will get thru this

Well, here I am again. I am eating less, and using a small plate for my dinner meal. I do not go back for seconds, but I sure do love those sugar free chocolate chip cookies. I just had 4 of them. I could have stopped at two, but didn't.  Thought about dunking them in milk, but resisted. I am hanging in. Wish it would either stay cold or stay hot. This weather makes me crazy.  I had a hard day at work yesterday, so it was hard getting up this morning, but I did, and put in my 10 hour work day. Can't seem toreally get it  together today though. My mind tells me one thing but my body tells me another. Had green beans and smoked sausage for supper and a couple of spoons of pinto beans. Now I am tired as a dog.  But, one good thing is I can get on here and vent. Thanks for your comments and please keep them coming. Tomorrow is another day. Good luck everybody
