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.

This weekend I have been spending time researching friends & family on facebook. It really is an eye opener! It is amazing when looking at kids you went to school with and you see them as much older adults some even looking "Old". I hooked up with some family I haven't seen in years which made me feel good : ) I even sent a friend request to my sister-in-law who I have had negative feelings towards. Time is too short to wait around and hold on to negativity!! It is so fun to read about what my extended family is up to and see their children grow. Of course facebook can make you envious of what you don't have or the place you haven't gone to ect. but I think it is worth it to put yourself out there and just stay in touch with those who you are connected to.
Now, Let me just say I think it may be also a weight loss helper! Who wanted to look like crap in front of those who haven't see you? Right? I am so hoping this helps me get back on the weight loss horse.
I weighed in this morning at 147.6lbs. down a pound..... not great but hey, it's something.
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Power Ball Dreaming!
Well I am still Power Ball dreaming for Wed. drawing!! It has been so fun to dream of what we would do with all that money. I know everyone is hoping it is going to be them to win but I really pray that we will win a chunk (I don't need the whole billion). I know the chances of winning are not good but it sure has made people crazy hasn't it. My daughter-in-law who works at Publix food store said one guy came in and spent $1,000 on tickets. I will be buying our three tickets tomorrow - sure hope they are winners : )
I weighed in again this morning and am still at 147.8lbs (not very good at all). I just have not been able to get organized with my choices of what I should be eating. Like tonight I got home from a mega thrift store shopping trip with my daughter-in-law & grand daughter and ate 2 pot pies because I was starving! Than I ate potatoes chips & had handfuls of chocolate chips too! Just terrible choices, what was I thinking!! Here I had done a lot of walking today to burn some calories and nope I blew it by eating junk.
I have been really trying to remember what I ate when I lost the 50 lbs. and it all comes back to having the grapes & nuts for snacks, eggs for breakfast, lunch - was a "morning star farm chicken patty on bread with grapes, dinner - "chicken patty" with veg., applesauce and that is it. I have been having the hardest time finding grapes that are worth buying (they are pretty expensive here) so that has been throwing me off my game.
Well tomorrow is another day!

Praying for good things to happen
Wow, What an incredibly hard time I am having getting on the Tim Healthy Mama plan! I just can't seem to get with it! I know I said I wanted to be more positive in my posts but gosh dam I just can't get going with this weight loss thing. Today, I ate a Kit Cat candy bar!! I just can't seem to stop myself, when I get the urge to eat junk food I just go for it. I weighed in today at 147.2 pounds, all of my pants are tight as hell. I pray I can get control of this. I was so much happier when I was thinner.
On a hopeful note, I bought a power ball lottery ticket - I pray to God that we win!

Hello New Year!
It is always refreshing to start a New Year! I love the potential that it brings, you just never know what might happen!
I of course started my New Year with the intent on losing these dam 20 pounds that I have gained. I bought a couple of items from the Trim Healthy Mama book to get started (I spent $20.00 that really should have been directed to other areas). I always have high hopes and jump into things gung ho and then falter so quickly. As you know I lost the 50 pounds using the Trim Healthy Mama program loosely, kinda doing my own thing but using their principles. I was so easy for me back then that I am SHOCKED at how poorly I am able to get it back going. Yesterday I was okay, I did have a ton of cheats but I was a bit more in control. Today is a different story and I really don't know why! I went shopping down to Target to get just a few things and I blew it!! I bought the Milano cookies AGAIN. I was almost out the door and they had them by the cash register and I had this overwhelming need for them. The scary part it I ate the WHOLE bag in the car even before I got home. Now what is that all about?????? I think maybe I should just stay the hell out of the stores!
I did get a good book that I am reading called: "The Best of Everything After 50" by Barbara Hannah Grufferman. I haven't gotten very far into it yet but I will let you know what I thought of it as soon as I complete it. I am also in the process of reading: "Trim Healthy Mama Plan" by Pearl Barrett & Serene Allison, "1 Year 100 Pounds" by Whitney Holcombe, "The Body Book" by Cameron Diaz, and "Wildflower" by Drew Barrymore - Whew, I sure have a lot of books going at the same time! I LOVE to read, especially self help books! Having said that though they sure can send you in a dozen different directions on how to improve yourself!
Hope the New Year is treating you well!!
