Gosh, where do I start? Let me look back to see what I wrote about last. Okay, so I talked about the internet situation, which was finally resolved and so far everything is going well. We are happy about that. I also talked about Pepper, the porch/deck kitty. Well, she is still here, hanging around as usual. I reached out to the same people that I contacted the first time, and they checked and will have an opening before winter. They asked me to take care of her until then. I really hope they aren't messing with me. I am really counting on them, or I would have gone to someone else. I guess we will see. I recently gave her a dewormer, because I noticed tapeworms, and didn't want any around, because of the other ferals. Now sure it's possible they have it as well, especially if they hunt and eat animals they catch. But I try to make it Continue Reading
Weigh-in Progress Catch Up
I am finally doing this update to catch up on my weight loss. Today is Saturday, so I thought today is a good day to catch up before another weigh-in tomorrow. I have been crazy busy, and have not had a chance to update. Although I still do my weigh-ins and I take the picture I always take them for my record. I have had ups and downs but no weight gain. As my last blog post suggested. I did reach my 6-month goal of losing 50 lbs, yay for me. Now on to the weigh-ins. We have quite a few weeks to catch up. Weigh-in #18 - I barely lost anything, but at least it was not a gain! I lost 0.3 lbs, weight is 284.7 lbs. Weigh-in #19 - This was another week, I barely lost anything. Yes, I was disappointed, but at the same time relieved I didn't gain weight. I lost 0.4 lbs. My weight was 284.3 lbs. Weigh-in #20 - I was extremely 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 #15 – What Can I Say? It Happens!
It is Friday, and I haven't lately been posting this late in the week. On Sunday when I weighed in. I thought I did well that week, but apparently, from what was staring back at me on the scale, it wasn't as good as I thought. I lost a measly .2 lbs. Was I disappointed? Absolutely! I was crushed! I expected more than that. At first, I thought I had lost 2 lbs. My husband said the expression on my face said I was not happy with the weight loss. Then, I was instantly corrected by what my husband said. He said I lost .2 lbs. I thought, What??? No way! I was thinking that in my head. I instantly just got so bummed out. My husband looks at me, and tells me "Don't let this discourage you", I said, "It's not, it just disappointed me!" That is where I am. I've been bummed all week, which is why I am just posting this today. On Tuesday I Continue Reading
Weigh-in #14 – I Lost Nothing!
I didn't lose even an ounce, wow huh? But I didn't gain either. So it is still a win for me. I was initially bummed out about it. I had hoped I lost something, but yeah I will have those days when I lose absolutely nothing, and that was this weigh-in. I was upset at first, my jaw dropped when I saw the weight on the scale, lol. But I had to come to terms with it, that it does happen. You just never know. You think you are doing good, and staying under your daily calories, and at the end of the week, you ask yourself. What did I do wrong? What didn't I put in, how did I go over and not realize it to the point of not losing any weight? I don't know, and I am not going to kick myself for it. It is over and done with, move on with the new month. So today how am I feeling about Sunday's weigh-in? I don't know anymore. I can only continue Continue Reading
