Happy Thanksgiving!

I have not fallen off the earth, I am still here lol. I have been scanning pictures and haven't made time for blogging. I am almost done with this project and then I will be more diligent about writing on a daily basis!

I haven't been doing horrible, but I haven't been doing well enough to lose weight. I will have a weigh in on Monday and start fresh to see if I either lose weight in December or at least maintain.

This is such a difficult time of the year. There is so much socializing and eating. I try to taste most of the stuff and not eat too much of it!

I count my blessings and one of them is that I was strong enough to lose some weight this year. I have gotten rid of 25 pounds and I NEVER WANT TO SEE THEM AGAIN!!!

I hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving Day and a wonderful long weekend!!

Sea ya on Monday!!

Starting Weight: 170 lbs

Last Weigh In: 144 lbs

Total Weight Loss: 24 lbs

yeah, it's another gain. sucks! I am not in the zone and I need to get there again. Gain, lose, lose, gain......not the best way to lose weight lol I haven't been able to walk every single day either. I think stress is having a toll on me. I have to find the way to beat it and continue on my path to goal weight. There are 6 weeks left in this year and I want to make them count!!!

I won't give up, that is for sure!!!

Sea ya!!

January 1, 2011?

Where will you be on the scale, come January 2011?

I guess it is time to seriously decide where we want to be. Do we maintain, gain or continue losing?

I really want to lose. I know it is hard, but I have to aim at losing. I want to be at goal weight and then decide I want to lose some more. Tough decision, but I really have to do this!!!

It is our choice...what will you be choosing?

Have a great weekend!

Sea ya!!

Falling off the Wagon??

Falling off the wagon is NOT a good thing. It seems like saying no to goodies is getting harder and harder. It sucks. The good thing is that it is only November 11th, so if I were to start being disciplined, I could still reach goal by the end of the year!

I gotta find a way to stay focused!!! ayyyyy On Friday is the Key Largo Bridge Run and I will be walking 10K.....the bad part is that I will be going out with friends in the evening for "all you can eat stone crabs" hahahaha sooooo is that a balanced day? I'll have to make up for it on Sunday!!

It ain't easy, but I won't give up!!!

Sea ya!

The time has changed and now it is dark by the time I am ready to walk. Even though I do not like that, I will force myself to continue walking or maybe it is time to hit the gym during my lunch hour again. I WILL BE UNDER 140 before the end of this year hahahaha.

I didn't get to blog yesterday, because I was so busy! I was going to do it last night, but I started organizing some pictures and seeing some of Sharrie's wedding pictures and before you know it, it was past 11pm.

I did GREAT yesterday in the eating department. The entire day was perfect. I did my exercise and yes, I was hungry, but I kept drinking water until it was bedtime. I was happy when I went to bed and realized that I finally did one perfect day. I plan to make today another perfect day also! I have to drop some weight, so that I can enjoy the Thanksgiving feast that is just around the corner!

So the no way ins, really didn't do me any good and neither did the Halloween candy. I am also hoping that some of this is water weight. So it is time to buckle down and do this right this week.

I do not have any events coming up, so I have no excuse not to do this right!!!

I will do my grocery tonight and do my exercise and get back on the right track!!! I hate it when I can't stick to what I really want to do!!!! shit!

Sea ya!!
