Another pound is history!!  I am really starting to notice the weigh loss in my clothes which is a fabulous feeling.  6 more to go and I will do my happy dance.  It may seem silly to some to be so excited over 1 lb., but why not?  Every little success gets you closer to your goal.  I am feeling so much better about myself and it is getting easier to ward off the sweet cravings.  But a york peppermint pattie every once in awhile (in moderation) is not a bad thing.

As I sit hear typing all of this and thinking on myself, my mind redirects itself to a good friend of mine that is battling cancer.  Unfortunately, the cancer is not the focus…he is on a ventilator and dialysis due to him developing pneumonia while going thru his cancer treatment.  I think and pray for him constantly as well as his wife and 3 children.  It saddens me to think he and his family are suffering so much and all I can do is pray and be a support for them.  Please keep this family in your prayers.  And thanks for listening. 

Have a good one. 

Today is the start of week 4 on my return to eating the right way.  I had a couple of mishaps the last 2 days.  Nothing extreme like in past situations.  I am pre-menstrual, so I have the munchies more.  I have done much better than I have in the recent past.  Munching on healthy things, but going over my calories.  I have also been fighting something in my sinuses and chest.  I hope it leaves just as quickly as it came on.  Sleeping the last to nights has been absolutely horrible!!!!!!  4-5 hours of sleep doesn’t do me much good.  I am so looking forward to a nap this afternoon and going to be early this evening.

Hope ya’ll have a good one today and/or the rest of the week.  Till later. 

Today has been good.  Did my treadmill walking for 30 min. (2 miles) again today.  I am definitely into a routine now with my daily exercise.  There are days that are altered abit - depending on what is going on that day.  I sit here typing (wrapped in a blanket) and watching snow fall outside.  I detest winter.  I am ready for spring.  I will say that I have not encountered the cabin fever bug, yet.  And I don’t plan on it…that usually sends me to muchie land…and I absolutely refuse. 

I have been very encouraged by everyone’s comments, blogs, etc.  Sounds like alot of people are having successes.  Kudos to ya’ll.

Stay strong and muscle through the tough moments.  It will all be worth it.  I have been there before and I am going back.  Who’s coming with me?  Have a great hour/day/week - whatever applies!

I am sooooooo excited.  I weighed myself today and 3lbs. have left me…so sad HAPPY!  Today is the first day of my 3rd week of getting back to my healthy lifestyle.  Eating healthy foods, exercising, regulating foods, and succeeding.  I am 1/3 of the way to my goal.  Exercising in the AM definitely helps me feel better the rest of the day.  Thank you to ya’ll for your support and encouraging comments.  Till Later and lighter.

Well, I have to say I am pretty proud of myself.  I have had one bad day since the first of the year.  I will succeed with in the next 6-18 weeks.  My husband has joined in we both are policing each other in a positive manner.  We have lost the weight before and have gotten lazy about how and how much we eat in the last year.  I look forward to giving updates in the following weeks.  Thanks to all for your past encouragement.  Keep it coming.  You can never have too many way-to-go’s.

Since my last post, beginning of June, I have been quite busy. I had something going on everyday of every week up until the first full week of August. That was the longest week ever! The summer was good one. Time with my family and out doors a lot. Since school has started I have been just as busy. I am working very hard at following my program and exercising. The exercising isn’t an issue it is the snacking in the evening! It gets me every time. I am working on setting a time limit for the snacking, like nothing after 9p. But sometimes that is hard when I don’t have my calories in for the day. I have decided if the calories aren’t eaten then they aren’t eaten. I am really driven right now to get these last pounds off. My motivation is I am just tired of it taking so long. I have done it before and I WILL do it again. It’s the FINAL COUNT DOWN.

I am going to lose my mind.  Correction!  I am pretty sure I have lost it already!  My patients level the last 2 days has been zilch!  My children are driving me crazy.  I have a ton of stuff that needs done.  This week is vacation bible school week.  My in-laws are visiting next week.   I am waiting for the call that my sister is in labor.  I need to SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!!!!!!!   I need to be just a little selfish right now.  I need about 3 hours to myself.  That isn’t going to happen for about 2-3 weeks!!! 

My exercising has been very consistent.  My eating habits have been pretty good!  No late night gorging recently.  That is one nice thing about the heat and humidity…I am not hungry so I don’t over do it. 

I hope all my buddies are doing well.  I haven’t been the most consistent person lately.  I hope to get back on track here real soon!  Stay strong!  Talk to ya soon!

    Well, I have had a great day.  I have eaten smart, walked to the library with my boys for storytime, and mowed the yard.  I definitely gotten my exercise today.  I am quite tired and looking forward to a restful night’s sleep.  Depending on the weather, I will walk again tomorrow before having to do several errands.  I hope everyone has a great day.  If not, say a prayer, and then go forward.

To all my buddies hit it hard and strong.  One day at a time.  Talk to ya’ll soon!  Have a great evening!!!!

    I have told myself (looking in the mirror) that I have had enough…I am going to get to my goal.  I am tired of giving excuses and justifying my actions.  There are no excuses and no justification for alllowing Satan to run my life.  I am stronger than that and I have been praying for strength, guidance and support.  Today was the last straw.  No more.  Tammy get it done!!!!  I hope all my buddies are doing well and getting the results they desire.  I look forward to hearing from everyone soon!!! Stay strong!
