May 2, 2014 Hanging In There
Did well until late tonight.... then hit the pretzels, peanuts, and ice cream. Hope that didn't undo all the good I did with the rest of my food choices. Felt really good today about getting things done and made it all over the yard telling the yard helper what I wanted done out there. Did end up falling deeply asleep in the chair in the afternoon, and that made me want to stay up later. Had a wonderful night's sleep last night and hope it happens again tonight. Makes a world of difference in the next day.

May 1, 2014 Day 4 of the 17 Day Eating Plan
Wt: 263.4
Day 4 ~ The above is what I am re-labeling "The 17 Day Diet" because of the connotation the word diet now has for me.
So far this is working for me. Hope to show more progress on the scale tomorrow. I have been feeling full so far, which turns off the constant thinking about food. That may be the secret to being successful.
Changed the bed yesterday and did a few other things on my list that have been there a while. Feel good about that. Am feeling guilty about not being in a hurry to get this house sold. I think part of it is I KNOW what I have here and know I can afford it. Also I can handle the weather and am not absolutely locked inside with eating on my brain all winter. The traveling for the coldest months to spend in FL may not be affordable when freezing in MKE. So far having my own place to go to in MKE is affordable as long as I am still in charge of it. We'll see how that goes. It will be one year this August. That will tell a lot. Must quit talking to everyone about selling FL even though that is on my mind. Removing some stress from everyday living is the answer for me to have all around success. I will work toward that end.

April 30, 2914 Day 3 of the 17 Day Diet
Wt: 263.6
Had a good day yesterday - felt full and didn't have a struggle with wanting to snack. Was surprised by the scale as I didn't "feel" I lost any weight. I usually am very aware of even losing water weight. Am pleasantly surprised. The emphasis on green tea and yogurt (probiotic foods too) is a good thing. Have been a little gassy but I suppose the body is getting used to a new (better) group of foods.
Need to be more active and will see if I can't work that into my day, making it a priority along with this journaling. Little by little this better get me to a spot where this excess is coming off for the last time.
NO MORE YO-YO ing !!!!!!!

April 29, 2014 BACK ON THE JOURNEY TO A HEALTHY WEIGHT
April 28: 267 Day 1
29: 266.6 Day 2
Started the 17 Day Diet with the "shake cleanse day" to start. My body was not happy with it and my stomach felt queesy. Decided to have a boiled egg, 1/2 100 cal. bun, and a tangello. That took care of it for the rest of the night but slept restlessly. Don't know if that was due to what I ate or not.
Today (Day 2) so far is great - had a boiled egg and 1/2 100 cal. bun for BR. and a 2 egg white Gillette w/salsa. Actually the rules of the 17 Day Diet are the way I've been eating when not diving into junk food. If this brings me down 10 pounds, that would be wonderful.
Will have chicken and vegetables for dinner and a small yogurt for a snack.
Will stay strong!

July 8, 2013 Maintenance too Soon!
July 8, 2013 Have Maintenance Going Long Before Needed!
Weight 282 Have been struggling again. Seems that I think nothing of sabotaging my weight loss work. Have had days of this now and it is ENOUGH! Seems I have decided someplace inside me to keep my body right where it is. Wherever that little controlling area is I intend to do a bit of surgery and get it removed!!! Years and years of struggling and then undoing all the hard work. Enough already. Need to make today a good day. Will do that. Intend to keep my calories between 1200-1500 for today. I know how to do that. If I find myself slipping I will be back on here - catching the mis-move in it's tracks.

July 2, 2013 ANOTHER DAY OF OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESS
JULY 2, 2013 ANOTHER DAY OF OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESS
Will make the best choices I can with having a super busy day ahead. Will not let the "busy-ness" stress me out to the point of reaching for junk food. Awareness is a necessity to beat the old process I have set up to handle everyday life, and replace it with a healthy one.

JULY 1, 2013 ~ THE JOURNEY GOES ON
Wt: 278 The struggle goes on. Have learned a LOT since the last blogging sessions. Am expecting THEY were practice and THIS time is permanent. Hope is eternal. Have started using my iPhone to record not only my weight but my daily food intake. This blog is going to be a daily thing - and will hold me responsible. My weight reporting will be on Thursdays and I expect you and I will see the numbers decrease. Am not setting a deadline or a bottom number as that has defeated my thinking before. I will be taking each day having good food choices and getting some moving in. Intend do start with walking. Have also purchased the Jane Fonda Old Timers CD's and think they will be helpful. Stay tuned and watch the transformation!
