I have reached another mini goal! I have now lost over half of what I want to lose totaly! I lost 2.5 this week, but of course we can only put in whole pounds. I have set a new goal of 199! I did this because I will then be in onederland! This will be the ultimate for me, because I have not been in onederland in over 27 years!

Thank you so much buddies for all of your support, inspiration, and motivation!

Have a great day buddies!

I have been really good these past few days, journaling every bite of food I eat! For the most part I love the food journal on here. I like that I can find somethings and not have to add everything, it can be a time saver not having to type everything in, but I did not know how to convert grams to ounces. I found a wonderful site that will do it for you. I figured I would share it in case anyone else is as challenged as I am!

I am having a pretty good weekend! I have my oldest grandaughter again, but what is new with that! Natasha is great company for me because hubby is working both days this weekend!

I am trying to stay off the scales, but I just can’t seem to do it. I may have to get hubby to hide them on me! When I don’t see them move it can really set me off, and I don’t want that to happen again!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hugs to all my buddies!!

Okay so things weren’t going so hot! I haven’t lost anything in 2 weeks. I binged and what did I think that was going to do! It surely wasn’t going to help me lose anything! It just made me feel like crap! Just like Marge told me I know the path to take! Something else got me to thinking (thank you Jane!) my grandkids! My daughter in law told me yesterday something my 4 year old grandaughter told her. She told her that she didn’t want to eat junk food anymore because her NaNa didn’t eat junk food!! I am setting a good example for my grandaughter(even more than I realized)! Last night I went into base and the boss asked me how much weight I have lost and when I told him he told me that was amazing! I told him I was getting a little discouraged because I had hit a plateu two weeks in a row, and he told me don’t give up he had done that before and his plateu lasted 6 weeks! I hope that does not happen to me, but if it does I will not give up and I will stop sabatoging myself! I am so thankful for my awesome buddies that stick with me even when I get on a pitty party kick!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day!!

Right now I am not sure where I am going with my diet. I am not quite sure what is happening! I have maintained 2 weeks in a row, and have some peronal family issues that are eating away at me. My self talk is just not working when it comes to comfort eating. I do it and then I feel sick for doing it! It makes me feel so low for doing it and when I do it I know how I am going to feel yet I do it anyways! I am proud of what I have accomplished! I have made it almost half way to my main goal! Is it self-sabatoge? Is it a fear of the unknown! I have been overweight most of my life, am I afraid of not having the fat me to  hide behind, and use for an excuse, (I can’t do that because of my weight!)? I sent a message to Kim, the head of the Hot Rods and told her I needed to leave the Hot Rods! I feel I am not doing my part as a member of the Hot Rods! It is unfair to the others that are working hard when I am not! I need to get my s#%t together and right now I am not sure how I am going to do it or when! I will not give up! I am determined to continue my journey. Maybe I am giving myself a pity party or maybe it is just something else new for me to deal with! I am so thankful for my buddies that helped me come this far! I would be so thankful to anyone who has any ideas on what to do when you hit a cross road like this.

I hope you are all having a great week!

Yeah it really stinks, and I was feeling kind of down about it. I started thinking, at least I did not gain. I have been on this journey for a little over a year and I have lost almost 80 lbs. I feel better, I look better and I am becoming healthier! I knew this journey would not be easy, I knew there would be good days and bad days! I knew there would be weeks like this, yet I am so disapointed when it happens. Then I think about my accomplishments, I can get out of bed almost every day without so much pain that I have to find the Advil before I can do anything. I can get up from a lawn chair without having hubby pull me up! I can get down on the floor and play with my grandkids and get back up without crawling to the couch to pull myself back up!! When I add up all of these little accomplishments they add up to a big accomplishment and I know I will continue this journey even when I stumble upon road blocks along the way!!

My buddies are wonderful and give me support and a push when I need it, they inspire and motivate me to continue this journey! It is a wonderful feeling to know that I have so many buddies rooting for me to succeed as I root for their success too!!

I hope you are all having a super weekend!

I am glad this week is coming to an end! I have been dealing with the stress of a teenager! I have done a lot of self talk to keep me on plan! I have done well sticking to plan and not reverting to old habits of stress eating! I am hoping when I have my weigh in for the week to lose at least that one pound that is causing me not to reach my mini goal! Of course I want more than a 1 lb. loss, but I will take that.

I hope everyone is having an awesome week!

Have a good one!

I could not use my computer today, my keyboard quit!! Grrrrrrr it worked fine yesterday and then today it wouldn’t work. Of course nobody knows anything……..I had to wait until after work and dinner to go and buy a new one!

My plan seems to be going okay! Things are in kind of a turmoil with my 18 year old son. He is being really difficult. I have lived through the 2 older ones and I am sure I will live through his problems too!! I just did not expect some of the crap he has been pulling!! It is difficult in those moments not to stress eat, but I have been sticking to plan pretty good!

I am kind of worn out tonight so I think I will hit the sack early!

Hope you are all having a great week!!

My weigh in was not what I wanted! No loss, but no gain either! I have switched plans hoping to jump start my weight loss again! I know this plan fits in better with my life and it worked before so I am hoping it works again! This past week has been difficult! Hubby just doesn’t get it or maybe he does! I am not going to cave and go back to the old me! I am going to be strong and finish my journey not matter how long or what it takes!

I hope you all are having a great weekend! Mine is going pretty good! I have my 4 year old grandaughter for the weekend (nothing new with that)! Tomorrow I go see my other grandaughter who just turned 3. I have seen her 4 times in her entire life, I am hoping to change that, but it is a difficult situation!

Have a good one!

Today I did something I have not done in forever! I called in while I was on my morning run and said I need the afternoon off! The funny thing is it is my hubby I have to say this too! He knew I really meant it! He got a sub for me which we never use to have and I took off the afternoon! I have done a little house work that I have been putting off, but I just wanted some me time. I had decided the other day I wanted to color my hair, something I have not done in a long time, so  bought some hair color, but hadn’t done it yet! So I did it today! It is a lot lighter and I really like it! It will be a big surprise to hubby tonight. He won’t be home until late, he has to go from his regular job to the weekend job. He usually does not do this, but they really needed a shuttle driver for 4 hours tonight and the money sure comes in handy.

Tomorrow is my weigh in day! I am hoping to have lost at least one pound to put me at my half way point! I will then also reach my mini goal and be able to set a new one! I also plan on posting a new after picture if I reach my mini goal!   I also think I feel good about my decision to change weight loss plans. I think returning to the one I was doing before will fit in better with my lifestyle. After all this is a lifestyle change.

Well I hope everyone is having an awesome day!

Buddies for all the inspiration and support I recieved on my last blog!!

Hubby still doesn’t get it, but I have faith he may eventually! You will not believe what he did yesterday!! Last night he stopped at the store on his way home and bought ice cream!! He bought Choco-holic Ice Cream!! He claims he did not know I couldn’t eat it!! I told him does it say fat free?? Does is say sugar freee??? NO! I think he is trying to sabagotage me!! He did make dinner last night, and clean up and put things away, but I had the dishes, which is okay, since he did the rest!!

I have decided to go back to my previous plan! I am going back on The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet!! I think maybe I need to kick things around a bit! It also fits in better with all the things I have going on!! I can eat what I want for an hour at night!! I switched to counting calories when I hit a plateu on this and I think it is now time for a switch again! The counting calories and journaling my food takes up time that I feel I don’t have right now! If this doesn’t work this time I will find something that does!! I know what works for one may not be what works for someone else or what works today may not work tomorrow!! I am going to get there no matter how long this journey takes. I will put the site address on the bottom in case anyone would like to check it out!!

Have a good one!!
