On the road again.....

First off, let me say this.  I feel great.  Other than still being really run down from being sick.  I feel confident, together, and I'm going in the right direction.

I lost 3 pounds this week!!!  I'm back up to 30.4 total pounds lost!  I think those three pounds was in mucus, but I digress.  As I look back on this week, I realize that I made really good choices.  I've really stopped the no fast food thing.  I am simply making better choices at fast food places.  I'm not going to lie: fast food is just that.  Fast.  And cheap.  And my wallet needs a break sometimes too.  So at KFC, I got two pieces of grilled chicken with green beans as a side.  WOOT!  At Sonic, I got a grilled chicken wrap. DOUBLE WOOT.  I try to stay away from the Combos and drink water or tea, I'm coming back off of soda, and I feel great! 

As far as being sick, I'm over most of the coughing, sneezing, nose running part of it.  Now's the time where my body is recharging.  So I'm not doing much. Resting and relaxing mostly.  I don't have a ton of energy, but I am still nourishing myself, but am watching it since I'm not moving around at all. 

I had no inspiration for a title, but I promise the next title will be clever :)

Until next time,
:)

Wake up call

Just found this in the drafts from April 29th....figured I'd post it even though it's old...


I was just looking at pictures of me over the last few years and I have come to a realization.  I was really overweight. Like wow.  How did I not see it???  Ugh.  I guess everything happens for a reason. 

Well, I'm on the right path now.  Thank goodness. 

I just did the math.  I have been on Weight Watchers for 77 Weeks. That's kind of amazing. 

Good news is after tons more rest, and time spent in the fresh air, I feel much better.  Only a few remnants of sickness left and I'm a little tired, but other than that, I'm much better!  I look forward to getting to relax the next few days before starting back into the craziness. 

Until next time,
:)

Welcome back :)

Gosh, I cannot believe it's been over a month since my last post.  Goodness, so much to tell, so...well the space is unlimited, but I'll try to be kind to your eyes. :)

I have continued to go back and forth back and forth with the same 5 pounds.  It's still frustrating, so nothing new there.  I think I finally gave myself a kick in the seat of the pants, and I've been doing really well the last two weeks.  I lost 3 pounds last week.  This week is going to be a little funny.  I've been sick since Wednesday and so I haven't eaten a whole lot of anything.  That can go two ways: I will either lose weight because I haven't eaten, or I'll gain it because my body won't let go of what I have eaten.  About 18 hours and we'll know for sure. 

Being sick really stinks.  When I get sick, my body takes advantage of the down time and completely shuts down to recharge.  I did all of nothing today.  Then I got a shower and walked up the stairs and was exhausted.  I'm currently sitting out on the back porch because I was in such dire need of fresh air, or I would be in bed, sleeping.  My diet has consisted of lean pockets and ice cream, because that's what I have downstairs, and it's easy. 

I was thinking that there was something else about which I wanted to blog, but I just don't remember.  I'll know where to find my blog if I do.

Until next time,
:)
