Happy Easter to all my friends…

This week has been a good week. I have watched what I ate somewhat.. but I didnt  journal it and I HAVE to do that this week coming up. I have to pay more careful attention to my eating if I really wanna lose. Besides I am running out of my moody medicine and if I get anymore I have to go back to the nutrionist/ dr. She is very much into and expects the journal so that will be my goal this week.  I went grocery shopping and think I did pretty good. I got strawberries, bananas ( do you know that the not so ripe bananas has less carbohydrates in them then the ripe ones)..oranges, apples, some lettuce for salads.  I am so happy that I have gotten to where I can eat salads without dressing but here is a tip if you must have that creamy salad dressing.. dip the back of the fork into the dressing and then get your lettuce it tricks your taste buds cause the back of the fork touches your tounge first and makes you think you have your salad drenched in dressing.

I also got some wasa crackers, and melba toast someone told me to put a little salsa on the melba toast and cottage cheese then bake them for a bit makes them taste like tacos who knows I will let ya’ll know how they turn out.

I want to lose 20lbs before my trip in 3 weeks dont know if i can do it or not but ya know how when you havent dieted in awhile and start exercising and drinking water it knows off several pounds I hope that is what happens who knows we will see

I weighed this week and have lost i think it was 6lbs so happy with that I will take that but am sure it was pretty much water due to that little aunt flo visit..

Okie I have rattled on enough. Hopeeveryone has a great Easter

HUGS to ALL

I think I am finally on the right track even though I didn’t exercise  yesterday. I did walk with Fawnda hmm 4 days i think with Leslie Sansone. We were huffn and puffin a couple of days.

I read an article about a lady loosing several hundred pounds by just eating what is healthy for her and walking to leslie sansone.  So i thought that I would  start doing that.

So yesterday I had a bacon egg and cheese burrito for breakfast a chef salad with no dressing for lunch  and a sloppy joe for supper on wheat bread with some baked chips.

I had a wonderful time with my Sisters In Christ group and had some wheat crackers, chicken salad, and some grapes there. I had around 64oz water  during the day.

I know I can do it I just gotta get in the right mind frame. I know tis is crazy but seems like if I start a diet during that time of the month when I am craving everything then I do good from there on CRAZY or what???

Hugs to all

O my that measuring tape doesn’t lie I guess… and I finally exercised today but didnt eat the best food… Ugh will it ever come together?? Sure it will.. I just have to choose to put it together and and it will work.

Fawnda came over and we walked  2 miles today.. The only thing that was good about the measuring tape was my thighs were the same size as Fawndas.. Ohh I actually felt skinny giggles…   I have so far to go BUT I WILL GET THERE!!!!!!!!!

Gosh what a dream I had  last night giggles!!.. I drempt i went to my moms to weigh her scale is one i have weighed on since i was in highschool gee wonder if it is still correct lol.. anyways I drempt that I went and weighed on her scales and weighed 134 that is a dream i dont think i have ever weighed that. But then I would hop on my scales and weigh what I really weighed lol oh gee ya have to love dreams.

I am soooo happy to see the sun shining today!! It has been a good week not dieting wise but other ways. Surelyyyyyyy I have lost some weight with all the work I have done at the new church this week!!  I proably wore Fawnda’s ears out yesterday complaining how sore I was from painting.  (( If you wanna know about the new church read Fawndas Blog!) But I slept from 8 last night till 8 this am when Fawnda called. I feel awesome! I think lol.

Fawnda is coming over this am and we are going to rehaul one of my spair bedrooms and make it into a exercise room. I have a air walker, exercise ball and a ab roller along with many exercise dvd’s.

shewwww its the afternoon and gosh  poor Fawnda Thank You GOD for friends like her!!Our little exercise room is coming together. I told her that I would like to paint it a bright fun  color and put some motivational sayings on the wall.

I have been so bad since we have had snow and ice.   I dont know why it bothers me to be in the house and when I lose my way dieting then but after i slept till 2:30 this afternoon I got my butt out of bed and went shopping.  I went looking for some new clothes and grr couldnt find any. I soooo loveeeeeeee this job that God sent me its AWESOME but i do need to find some dressier clothes to wear when I work at the office,  I would like to lose some more weight for this job as well cause YEAH!!! I get to go to Fort Wayne Indiana for some classes for work I would like to loose 20lbs before then and I know I can if I put my mind to it. 

I did go grocery shopping today and bought some things such as grapes, wheat pita pockets and wheat bagels, bananas, some cheese cubes, triscuits and some other “better” snack items.

I am so blessed having some encouraging friends that help me thru this that are wonderful encouragement!!!! I am so thankful for them

DIET DEVOTION

Sometimes it is difficult to stick with a diet once it has begun. If we are dieting for ourselves, we often lose heart, but if we feel we’re dieting for someone else, it can be the motivation we need to stick with it. Every day we make promises to God, and those promises we do everything in our power to keep. God calls us to be the best we can be, physically as well as spiritually. We should commit our diets to God. If we see dieting as a sacrifice we make to God, then we can find a deeper power to remain committed to our efforts to lose weight. Let everything we do honor and glorify God, for that is what truly pleases Him.

Today’s thought: We are not alone in our attempt to lose weight!
