Great week!

Hi everyone! I had a better week then I expected! 5.4lbs making a total of 10 in 6 weeks! I have only 2 lbs to go to get me back to the 75 that I originally lost and then I can move forward and really kick butt! I ate an omelet everyday for the protein and tons of veggies...I really did away with a ton of carbs...not by choice it just kind of happened that way. I always have a snack on me so if I am hungry I don't stop at Timmy ho's or a fast food joint! SO that is where I am today! It was a great day! Tonight after the meeting I was starving...I remembered that I had an apple in my bag along with a few mini rice cakes...thank God, because in the past I would have come home and eaten everything in site! So, I am changing the bad part of me! Thanks for stopping by!!!

Progress is bring made...

So I have always been a slow loser..always! So I have been doing yoga alot and I love it. It is low impact and I feel great after...I really am enjoying it! Julian has been helping me as well with all my stretches! He is such a great helper! We have been walking all weekend and it has been feeling great! I have been tracking my points so I hope this week I see a loss on the scale or you will hear me scream! It is a slow and steady journey to getting my life and body back! When I injured my back, I look back at it and it seems like I was in bed a lot...which is never good...but it helped heal my back...I would take a nap every day! I love to nap...always have...so the last few days, Julian is not being a fan of napping (ugh) so we have been more active and it is feeling great! This summer is going to be a challenge. Jeff is going to be working 12 hour days, so it is really going to be Julian and I...we will be a force to be reckon with! I know we will be swimming a lot and if the gas prices ever come down we might do some day trips just him and I...I really want him to see what is out there. So I am trying my best to be as active as I can be...I am not crippled, but I do have to know when is when...and with Jeff working so much, we will be on our own...and since we don't have help from Jeff's family, I can't put it all on my parents...so I have to be smart about it! So that is where I am right now in my journey! Would love to hear comments! Have a great night!

FEAR...

Ok...so I guess that is what is holding me back! I never thought I was one with low self esteem, but I guess I am. When you diet and make strides, then start going back to your bad habits, is that sabotage? When I was "thinner" in my 20's I guess I was looking for more then love in all the wrong places...now that I have made a committment to weight loss and a healthy lifestyle...why in the world would I go back to my bad habits? FEAR! Ok...so I am not afraid to say it! I didn't like who I was when I was thin..."thin" for me as 142 at high school graduation. I was not a nice person, I was shallow, I feel for me that is NOT who I want to be! I want to be a better ME...I all around...weight, nice person, God loving over all a good person...and most of all HEALTHY! So that being said...I was up a pound today...man did that make me mad...I knew that I was going to be up...I just feel like I can't eat enough...how many fruits and veggies can you eat...well, I am not eating enough! So tomorrow is a new day...That is how I have to look at...or I will quit...and I don't want that to happen! So once again...I have opened up to you all...who ever you are that is reading this...if you are reading it...please don't judge me! Hugs and blessings!

It was a good week!

Hi Friends...hope you are well! I lost 3 lbs this past week...which makes 6.8lbs in 3 weeks. SO I think that is a healthy pace to be on! 2lbs a week...I can handle that right? I got my yoga mat yesterday, so I am starting that...did it yesterday and today...always feels good during and after! I didn't realize that mothers day was this sunday! UGH! So now I have to plan my meal...I don't want a gain like easter! I will not be happy! So I will keep my resistance and forge ahead! Hugs and Blessings!

Monday is here and guess what...

Yes my friends it is raining! DOn't you just love it! All I want to do is crawl back into bed and watch a few movies...Julian is at nana's house...I do have some laundry to do...but I will NOT carry the baskets up and down...I feel good today, since I went to the PT...and I don't want to mess that up!!! So I had a great protein shake today and it was delish! So I hope my little post has found you well! I have added some pictures on here...It is to keep me focus on the goal...that is to get healthy!!! SO I am putting it out there! Please don't judge! Hugs and Blessings

Chinese Oolong tea

HI Ladies...I know a bunch of you have asked me about the Oolong Tea that I drink and swear by! SO this is what it looks like...you can get it at Wegmans...that is the only place I have bought it. This tea is a black tea and is strong, so what I do is put mint tea with it which is a green tea to give it flavor and cut down on the bitterness. I do put sugar in it, so I count that as one point. I hope this picture has helped you with your search for the tea! It has helped me with my first 75lbs that I lost...Once I stopped drinking it, I fell off track and put on 15 lbs...now I am down 8 of that 15, so we will see if anything this week! I can't wait to get back to the first 75 so I can start with the next 75! Have a wonderful day!!!

Holidays...all ways do me in!

So I have my weigh in tomorrow...I am not looking forward to it and not looking for a loss! I have my aunt flo, along with my father's bday party and Easter...all in the same week! Can't a girl get a break! I always gain about 3-5 lbs with my monthly friend...and why do we call it our friend anyway...it is NO friend of mine! My fingers are tight...so I am sure i and retaining water! UGH! So, when you stop by tomorrow...don't be surprised if you see a gain...I know I won't...but I am back on track as of today! See you tomorrow!!!
