Test Results

I wanted to start off with the results of my blood work - It all came back normal. How about that, on one hand I am over joyed that everything that they checked for came back good, but on the other hand it makes me so sad that we can not pin point what is the problem with me. I do have to say the antibiotic she gave me started to work, I wasn't feeling that bone tired feeling. Once the test results came back normal I wasn't able to get a refill of the prescription which was such a bummer! I pray that I will continue to feel better!
As for the weight issue, I weighed in at 153lbs. at the doctors office (that's with my pants & shoes on), since Valentine's Day with eating all of the chocolate I am not weighing in at 155lbs.!! Holy Hell if that isn't just a kick in the teeth. I hate it so much it makes me sick to think I need to lose 25lbs. AGAIN! Tomorrow is my daughter's 21st. birthday and I anticipate having cake and ice cream but come Sat. I need to get with it and start really watching what the hell I am eating!1

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Visit To The Doctors

Well I grabbed the bull by the horn and went to the doctors!
I am so sick and tired of feeling tired all the time.
They took 5 viles of blood, they are checking about the tick bite if I have lyme disease. The doctor is going to start me on antibiotic even before the blood results come back. They also are testing my thyroid, that may be the reason for my fatigue. I just pray that everything turns out okay. I have to say the nurse practitioner that I go to didn't even touch me during my visit! Can you imagine, she just talked and asked questions..... the nurse took my blood pressure and it was high 140 over 90 (she wants me to keep checking it at Publix).
I pray that I can get my energy back!!

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Sat. - What To Do?

I have the day all to myself! I am finding that I really love not having anything do or have anyone around (my daughter is sleeping and my husband is off to work).
Of course I could be cleaning, which I should be but.... I have other ideas at this time.
I have been fooling around on facebook again finding other friends from my past - I am really liking touching base with them I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. I am still hoping it will be a motivator in my weight loss. I found one friend of mine from many years ago who looks amazing! She could be an older aged model for sure, I hope to get some skin care tips from her : ) I also found one friend I went to school with and she was my best friend for years, I sent a friend request haven't heard back yet. Her pictures show that we had our first babies around the same time, it looks like her daughter has some major health issues - It made me really think how I so seldom give thanks for things like the health of my children and grand daughter!
As for the weight: 150.6 this morning at around 9:30am! Yikes! My plan is to NOT buy any more chocolate chips or the Coca-Cola life soda (90 calories a can) I have been getting. I just have to STOP!
I was hoping for a nice sunny warm day out so I could sit in the sun and read but right now not looking so sunny : (
Hope you all enjoy your day!

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Looking Chubby!!

Do you ever have a debate with yourself while you are at the grocery store about what to buy? That was me today, even before I got out of my car I was going back and forth with myself about not buying the chocolate chips for my oatmeal. I know the oatmeal is good for me (now that I have stopped using the milk and switched to either unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk). I think I only eat it because of the chocolate chips : (  I bought bananas and am going to try to add them to it and see if I will like that instead BUT I did also buy the chocolate chips! Yes, I have already had two big bowls of it! I obviously can not control myself with it so why do I buy it!! I just need to stop buying it and MAKE myself eat something else! Now I just have to talk myself in to doing that.
Did I mention that yesterday my husband had his arm around my waist and he said, now I am quoting "You are getting chunky again"! Yes, he did! It the truth but DAM! It made me so sad. I worked so hard to get thin and feel great and now it is all gone. I have lost the umph I need to get back in shape. It's funny how right after I eat something bad for me, I'm am always like "Yep I am getting back on track and am going to lose the weight" but than time passes and I get hungry and start looking for a snack : (
I have been actively looking for friends and family on facebook, It has been like doing genealogy. I have found a couple of really wonderful people I have missed. I really is so strange to see people you haven't seen in years and see that they have aged. I look at them and think gosh they got older.... not thinking I got older too. Anyway, like I said I am trying to use it as a weight loss tool.
Weighed in today at 3:00 in the afternoon at 151.2 pounds - Good God!!

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Stop The Madness!

Had another terrible eating day! It's crazy too because I have grapes in the fridge and nuts - that was what helped me last time. I ate chips, potato wedges, ect. I just don't have it under control yet : ( As I read "It is all fun and games until you can't zip up your pants any more", that's where I am at right now. I fooled around with food and I lost!
I have figured out one thing, I don't want to buy the THM cookbook. I think it will just overwhelm me with not being able to buy all the extra ingredients.
I am really enjoying reading "The Best of Everything After 50", it has had a lot of good tips. I look forward to reading the rest of the book and I'll give you a review of it when I finish it.

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Excuses, Excuses, I Got A Bunch

I think facebook is trying to help me lose weight, they showed me a post from two years ago. It happened to be New Years Eve when we went out to dinner and I look good in the picture. I was so much thinner and happier looking than I go now which makes me so sad.
I weighed in this afternoon at 149.2, but the really scary thing is I ate a large kit kat candy bar on the way home from work, than I had potato chips and a pot pie when I got home! What the HELL right? How the hell do I think I can lose weight if I keep eating like that?
I always have excuses for everything and the excuse I have this week it has been so cold here I just can't get warm. The other excuse is that work is like riding a roller coaster from one day to the next I never know if it will be a good day or stress filled one. That is one thing I did not deal with when I lost the 50 pounds previously. I NEED to stop making excuses and get with it!!

Until Next Time - God Bless!!

It's Only Monday?

I can't believe it is only Monday! My day started off great, I actually wasn't asking myself "How soon can I take a nap"? I felt a change today I had energy. I got to work and my day came crashing down! My boss asked me into her office which is never a good thing. Sure enough the kittens at our shop got an eye infections which of course she feels is my fault. I do everything I can every day to keep those kittens and cats healthy, so I don't know what else I could have done.... The day just went on and on, it is a shame.
I got home and I didn't need a nap! That is really a big deal for me. I sat outside (it was chilly) and read so I could get my vitamin D. I decided to get my daughter up and we took Chance our horse out for a ride. Since we now only have one horse we take turns riding and one of us walks which is great exercise.
I weighed in today at about 5pm (too cold to take a shower in the am.) and the scale said - 150.2 pounds! Good God!!! I keep gaining : (
I really have to start a food journal to help me keep track of what I have been eating.

Until Next Time - God Bless!!
