Have you been having any luck with your weight loss yet?
I am really struggling!!!! I buy those weight watcher ice cream bars and eat the entire box in one day. The sad part is I do that about EVERY day! At $3.99 a box it is an expensive habit beyond the weight gain. I promised myself today when I went to Target that I would NOT buy another box, which I did not so I guess that's a victory of sorts. I bought carrots already cut into strips which I had with my low calorie ranch dressing. I have also had some issues with potato chips. These are the things I have to work on big time! Like just a few minutes ago I had my lunch and then I went and ate 2 large handfuls of chocolate chips!! So I blew the health lunch I had : ( These are the kinda thing that is driving me CRAZY! Why can I not just keep eating what I used to eat that I had such success with in losing the weight. I keep ruining it with bad snacks, chips or chocolate!
I weighed in this morning at 141.2 by evening I seem to gain 2 pounds thru out the day. This weight is just to heavy for me. I have a giggly belly and my hips & upper thighs are huge. I do try and bike ride every evening which I doesn't seem to be helping any......
I really thought when I started by to work I would lose a few pounds from all the moving around and lifting but No! Being at this weight is so uncomfortable when working, bending it starting to get harder to do. Also, I have been having terrible back pain at night when I try and sleep. Good Grief I need to pull up the boot straps and get back down to my fighting weight!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Weight Loss Tips - Reading!
My next tip that helped me lose 50 pounds was to read!
Yes, I want you to go to your local library and take out a couple of books you have been meaning to read that you just haven't had the time to and make it a priority!
Now it can be any topic you like but my books of choice are erotic romances, it kills two birds with one stone for me. It gives me something to do other than eating and it also gives me possible new ideas to try with my man : )
Try and steer clear of project books or homeschooling ideas ect. this is for you not the family or kids, this is YOUR time. You remember that commercial that stated "Calgon Take Me Away" well this is your calgon - books! Let it take you away from your problems. Let your mind escape for a bit, it can be FUN if you let it.
Some suggestions if you are wanting to go the erotic romance route:
Fifty Shades of Grey
The Crossfire novels by Sylvia Day
Wallbanger by Alice Clayton
If you need more suggestions just let me know I have read ALOT if them : )

Feeling Great & Weight Loss
If you have been reading my blog you all know I had lost 50 pounds. Now this was a HUGE accomplishment for me to say the least. I have wanted to loss weight for YEARS and it just didn't happen. I felt terrible about myself in so many ways that it was pathetic that I kept going without losing some weight. I kept waiting for that light bulb to go off telling me now is the time do it, but is never came. Then when I got to 50 years old everything changed for me. You wake up one morning and you can see things more clearly than you ever have. That's when I told myself lets get it done Donna and I did! I will share my weight loss tips with you over the next couple of blog posts, see if any of them help you.
First off, If you wake up each morning feeling like crap it is going to be harder than ever to lose weight. Try and get yourself feeling up beat and not dragging, now how to do that you may ask? Well let me tell you when I lost the weight things in my life where going great. We had no money problems, I was feeling good, I was happy each day. It really helps to try and lessen your stress load when trying to lose weight. I know I am a MAJOR stress eater and the minute things start to stress me out I run for a quick pick me up - usually chocolate. You can not feel your best no matter what weight you are if you are always stressed! It just weighs you down something terrible in so many ways. So my first tip is: Right now grab a note book and write down the things that are stressing you out, it might be money problems, the kids are testing your last nerve, your husband is always picking at you about one thing or another, ect. write it all down. After your done take a good look at what you wrote and see what you can do about them to make YOU feel better about it. Seeing the issue on paper & thinking of ways to work on it may just make the issue seem not so bad. Of course don't be snacking while writing your list! Have a big glass of ice cold water while your working, that will help hydrate you.
There is no better feeling in this world than feeling great!
This was me when I was feeling the best in my entire life! I had lost 50 pounds and finally felt fantastic inside and out. You would think that once you get to that point in your life that you would do anything & everything to stay there but as you know from reading my blog I have fallen of the feel good wagon and I feel like I have let myself down big time!
So join me and we will get to the feel good point in our lives!!
We just need to remember that we are important and we need to take care of ourselves. Sometimes we just need to put ourselves first, Life is too short to not be our best!!!!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Good News!!
Well I have a bit of good news to share with you!
My husband may have found a JOB!! I am crossing my fingers & toes it works out.
It is a big company and they have just one job in our area so it might not be long tern but who knows what it may lead too. I hope he has rave reviews of it when he get's home tonight. It would be such a relief to have a pay check coming in again. It was funny but we ran into a gal we know at Walmart and she mentioned that the fire works maker which is right in our area is hiring (she had got a job there and is very happy with it). She told my husband to stop by her house and get an application, which he put off then this job came up. You got to wonder which job God was directing him to this one or the fire works company????? The guy hired him over the internet and he was supposta start work on Monday but of course it rained..... We are going to have rain all this week so I pray he can get some work hours in so we can get a nice pay check - all of our bills are due and my pay check just doesn't cover them : (
Send prayers that this job works out please!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

New Set Of Wheels!!
Where to start..... It's been awhile since I posted.
I got a new set of wheels.
I LOVE it!!!! I call her "Anastasia" after the gal in Fifty Shades of Grey. I always wanted a convertible and now I can mark it off my bucket list! It is so cool driving with the top down. I'm so glad I got her, she makes driving to work fun : )
Now on to another topic I need to address:
My weight! I am out of control!!!!!! I can't stop eating junk food!!!!
I am now up to 144.6 lbs.!!! The worst part is all of the cool clothes I have bought are now to tight for me to wear which bums me out something awful!
I just can not get control of it. I keep telling myself I will start getting on track but then I go and buy those weight watcher ice creams which I can not stop eating until the box is empty. I also keep buying those delicious dark chocolate chips and add them to my oatmeal, making a healthy meal into a calorie fest.
I am so disappointed in myself!!!!!
