Life is getting better

I have been eating right and exercising alot.  I am proud to say I am under 200.  Yes I am 198 and still going.  I am so proud that I have accomplished this goal and I am not stopping and the 200's will be gone forever.  Life is still a struggle at times but I am pushing on and working through the struggles of life.  God is showing me things in my life that need to be worked through and weeding friends that are not so healthy for me.

Getting back on track

I have been going through some very rough patches in my life.  I have not been following my journey.  I am happy to say I am back.  I still have alot going on but I have God by my side and i am gonna get through it with him.  I want to say Happy Mothers Day to every one.  Hope you have had a good day.  I am getting back to the right foods and doing my exercises again.  Tomorrow is my last day of college for the semester.  I am excited about that and about God really working on my heart and body right now.  With him by my side I will get through it

Very Busy

Wow it has been awhile I have been so busy but staying on task I will be weighing myself this weekend I am very busy the end of the semester is here and busy with projects and life in general I am having lots of cravings but staying away except I did have a cadbury creme egg oh yeah that was yummy well gotta go exercise and do other stuff will be back real soon

Rough Times

Sorry it has taken me so long to blog.  This week has been very trying for me.  I have not weighed myself for the fear I have gained weight due to the stress I have been under.  My Grandma is in the hospital and they say it is a matter of time before she passes.  I know she will be in a better place but I don't wanna lose her.  She is supposed to go back to the nursing home tomorrow with hospice.  I am not eating my six meals a day.  I am probabky eating two but I am eating healthy and still exercising.  I walk all the time and try to do other exercises.  i have ran with my dog so I would not eat.  I will be going back to work tomorrow so hopefully I can get back on track.

Enjoying vacation

So tonight was the first time we have gone to a buffet.  I did very well and only ate a little.  I am getting used to the foods and not eating as much.  i am on vacation for a week and loving it.  Today i cleaned the house then we went out to dinner then bowling.  That was so much fun.  Tomorrow I am hoping the rain holds off so we can go walk and maybe even go to the park.

People noticing

I have been exercising and watching what I eat and how much I eat.  I weighed myself and I weigh 202.  Yeah I have lost a total of 25 pounds now.  I feel great.  It is not easy.  You have to learn to say no and walk away.  I still have a hard time but I keep praying and reminding myself I need to do this to be healthier.  Well this morning I went to the store to get some Tea and the cashier asked me how much I have lost.  I told her and she said she noticed it in my face.  So I talked to her and shared with her how I was doing it and she said she is gonna try it.  I told her if she needed to talk to get ahold of me.  I felt so good after this because someone other than family and friends noticed it and I also shared with someone who is very interested in getting healthier.  Then my sister in law was asking lots of questions today and I shared with her too and my mother in law.  I am so excited about myself and more of my family members getting healthy.

Here we go again

I am loving my new outlook on life.  I love the food and my family is also adjusting.  my new theory is to live one day at a time.  There has been plenty of challenges in my life the last week.  First I got sick then my daughter got pneumonia.  They thought she had mono but PTL it was not.  I feel like all I have been doing is praying.  Everything is starting to get back to normal and we are getting more snow.  UUUGGGHHHH It is pretty good cause I get to work out more but I am ready for spring and to start running. 

Not feeling so hot

I am in Syracuse with my family.  We went to the carousel mall yesterday.  We walked the mall for 4 hours.  I am starting to get sick.  I hope I can get rid of it without medicine.  I am still running alot and watching what I eat.  I treat every day as a new day.  You never know what God is gonna throw at you.  my new theory is to take it one day at a time.  Still waiting for spring to arrive so I can get my bike out and start riding.

Snow needs to go away

I have been doing alot of exercising due to all the snow we have had.  I am getting better at Zumba.  My husband I went to the mall yesterday and instead of using the esculator we walked up and down the steps.  I am not as lazy as I used to be.  I am starting to feel better about myself again.  I am loving all the new foods and how they taste with no added salt or sugar.  oh I weighed myself on Thursday and I weighed 208.  I lost another 4 pounds.  I am so happy.  My goal is 155.  I am hoping by this summer I can get new clothes.  My husband told me if I can get to size 8 to 10 again he would buy me a whole new wardrobe.  Yes then I can shop something to look forward to.

Temptations

The last week has been filled with temptations.  We had our daughters birthday party and there were alot of temptations.  Yes I did eat a piece of pizza and a piece of cake.  I did pay for it after.  I was sick to my stomach.  I know now that my stomach is changing.  Zumba kicks my butt when I do it.  My hips have been so sore but I need to change my life for the better.

Ready for Spring

I love winter but you know enough is enough.  I am so ready for spring and warmer weather so I can get the kids out and go to the playground.  yes i am getting lots of exercise shoveling.  I am loving my life more and more as the days go on.  I am loving the healthier food and exercising more.  I did my zumba workout this morning and the kids were laughing at me and I told them thats ok you won't be laughing when I can out run you.  Yeah I can not wait for the day that I can keep up with them and not be so tired.

Very excited about my new life journey

I have been sick for a week.  On Thursday I was told I had a sinus infection.  Well the medicine did not work, so I went back to the doctor today.  I started this new journey a week ago.  I weighed 227 when I started the journey.  When I went today I weighed in at 212. I was like there is no way.  So I texted Carolyn and she asked me to see if I could be weighed in on the same one as last week.  So i was amd yes I am 212 now. Wow I am so excited and I can't wait to get healthier.  Yes it is very hard but I just keep thinking of the positive side of things.  My family is also liking the new food and are very excited about getting healthier too.
