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!

Back From Vacation

Back From Vacation Jan.25, 2012

Am happy to report the scale saying the same numbers it did BEFORE vacation! Must have learned something along the way here about healthy food choices.

Read a few pages in "Women, Food and God" which triggered an AHA moment that work I need to do by solving how to handle others jealousy. That has been a major problem for me since childhood. How do YOU handle it?

On the Verge of Another Year

THIS is going to be the year to have control over our lives, friends!  It has been a lot of time of learning and practicing.... now is the time to reach the success of being on the top of the mountain, at our goal.  Let's remember that being interested in losing weight and making a commitment to do it.
BYE FOR NOW.....

Thanksgiving 2010

The first holiday of the season is behind us and I have to admit I feel pretty good about my food choices.  Didn't overeat and I don't expect the scale will upset me.

Am reading the book "Overcoming Emotional Overeating" by Geneen Roth and am finding helpful advice there even after all the years of reading Weight books and articles.

Happy Holidays to us all - where we stay in control.
