It is hard to believe that the cold season is here, and the holidays are right around the corner. I have done a little shopping, but still have more to do. As for my weight, I think this past month has been particularly challenging for me. I sometimes have no willpower. I suppose I often reflect on my life, taking my age into account, and remind myself that I don't have much time left, so I want to enjoy certain things. I also think I would like to reach my weight goal I set for myself. This past year, I have maintained the 200 lbs, going over one or two pounds, but this month has just been really bad, and the holidays are coming, which will make it worse. In my last weigh-in, I gained 7 lbs, although 2 lbs of those are from the week before, so really it's 5 lbs. I am bummed out, and I do feel those 7 lbs already. I often pray to my good Continue Reading
Weigh-in #17 – I’ve Been So Busy!
I have literally been so busy, I didn't get a chance to write in my journal this week!! Let alone blog a post. Wow, I need to manage my time better, the older I get the less time I have in a day, what is going on with that? Do you feel that way too? Do tell! Tomorrow I will be weighing in again, so I will post again on Monday. Sunday, April 30, 2023, was a great weigh-in, I lost 3.3 lbs, which is so exciting, I am down to 285 lbs, and little by little it is going down. Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, I hope you all had a nice one. Ours was excellent, we made soft tacos with Mr. Tortilla, multigrain tortillas with 2 net carbs and 35 calories each, and quite delicious, check them out if interested. We used ground turkey and the usual things such as tomatoes, onions, sour cream, romaine lettuce, and shredded mozzarella cheese, and I had 1 Continue Reading
Weigh-in #13 – Hopping Along Nicely!
I just had to add the word hopping like an Easter thing. Anyway, this will probably not be long. But I am very pleased with my results this past Sunday. It is what I would like to achieve each weigh-in. Hopefully, I can keep that up. I was looking at my pictures and I seem to wear almost the same thing each morning. I just happen to have the nightgowns I wear. I don't do anything but brush my teeth, and grab the scale to weigh myself, my husband weighs in too, as he is losing a little bit of weight. He is looking great. I wish I could be where he is. I would almost be at my goal weight lol. Eventually, I will get there. On to the photo. I lost 2.3 lbs yay, way to go me! I am really proud of myself. I am feeling that weight difference now. My clothing, they are becoming loose, which is a good sign. I wanted to quickly say a Happy Continue Reading
Weigh-in #10 – Still Going Good, So Happy!
Alright, so I can't seem to keep a schedule. There are so many distractions, it just makes it impossible *sigh*. I'm sorry, not that anyone reads this, but if you do, I apologize. Tomorrow I weigh in again, but today I will give you my results. There we go, I finally hit below 300 lbs, wow, finally. I am officially in the 200s lol. I hope and I am praying I am below that tomorrow when I weigh in. I lost 1.7 lbs, it is not the 2 lbs I would like, but I am not going to complain, it is better than not losing anything, and way better than gaining. Slow and steady wins the race, right? Have I said that before? If I have it is worth saying it again. I am keeping up with logging my food. Although I have to admit that there have been times, I may have forgotten something, and when that happens, at least I know I have at the very Continue Reading
Weigh-in #6 – Keeping On Track
Life is so busy, I forget to post my weigh-in progress in a timely manner. Some things are unavoidable. But as you see by the title, it has been another successful weigh-in. Sometimes I don't know how I can manage my time better. I have a lot of distractions that cannot be helped. Moving on to the weigh-in, here is my latest weigh-in photo. This photo made my legs look weird lol. Those are the kitty slippers I was talking about in another post. I have my eyes on a pair of Hello Kitty slippers similar to these. These are very comfy by the way :) I lost 2.7 lbs, I am happy with that. I have to admit I am a little worried about Sunday's weigh-in. I say this because we had rice a few times this week, not a lot, like 1/2 cup. We haven't eaten rice in about 2 years, just has a lot of carbs. But we have to rotate our stash so that it Continue Reading
