I have been meaning to post more but it always seems like one thing after another pops up and I get distracted and don't post - Sorry about that!
It has been HOT as hell here in my part of Florida! The humidity is beyond crazy, you go out side and your clothes are literally soaking wet in minutes. So needless to say I have been not walking at night with my daughter as I had pledged to do. I find it funny how even when I TRY to be good outside forces come into play and send me back on my old ways of eating junk & no exercise : ( I have 39 more days until we go to Disney World, and I had wanted to lose some weight, but most of all I want to get back into shape so I can walk the countless miles around the park without "wilting". Since going outside seems to be pretty much out, I still have my exercise bike I can use, it's just that it is stuck in a very low gear and is very hard to peddle which wears me out after only about 5 minutes on the dam thing..... but at least it will be some exercise.
I have also been reading two really great books by Valerie Bertinelli - Losing It & Finding It if you get a chance to read them please do you will really enjoy them. What I really liked is how she is exactly like me, she understands the emotional eating how things trigger it and sometimes you just can't get it under control. She said in the book that she turns to exercise now when things are stressing her out like a good walk or hike. It must be really tough to be an actress who is a face for a weight loss program, she can never get away from thinking about weight. She has a new cooking show on tv and one of the articles I read about it said she has gained about 15 pounds since losing the 40 pounds using Jenny Craig 5 or 6 years ago, that's the same as me! She says at 5 ft. 5 (same as me) she feels best at about 132lbs. so if she gained 15 pounds she might be around 147 lbs now (I weigh 144lbs.). In the story she said she has ditched the scale and goes more with how she is feeling than what the scale says. I agree with her there but really I FEEL much better when I am in the 135lbs. area. If I could only lose 9 pounds before my trip the Disney I would be very happy! She posted a saying on face book this morning which really hit home for me: "Yes, you can wish all you want, but wishes don't come true without work" isn't that the truth!! I can sit here and wish all I want to lose more weight but if I keep eating these weight watcher ice cream bars and eating chocolate chips with my oatmeal I will NEVER lose those 9 pounds I am wishing for! I need to put some work into it!!
I'll keep you posted!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!
