Been a while since I wrote it looks like.  Not a lot has been happening.   I did lose another 1/2 lb.  So slow but for all that has been going on .....busy busy busy, pain , pain, pain....I don't feel that is too bad.  
I have been struggling physically.    PT sent my whole body into spasms so bad that I could barely walk...had to use a cane.  I actually felt like I was walking on two stumps.   Left knee was swollen so bad.   I kept moving though...doing yard work and then went to the Chiropractor and he helped some....wasn't my knees that were out of place.  Turned out to be my pelvis that was goofy.  

In spite of everything, I am still keeping a better attitude.  I wish it was faster but considering all the circumstances I am working through...feel good about things.

Happy Tuesday

It seems life just keeps rolling along...not sure where the time goes.    It has been a crazy 2 weeks with too much eating out and too many parties, etc.    I appreciate all the advice that is given and I am keeping it in my mind as I try to make wise decisions, etc.   In spite of all of the upheaval these past weeks.  I got on the scale this morning and it shows that I have lost exactly 12 lbs. now.    Which makes me very happy.  
I guess I have to keep in mind that even though this is a lot slower than last time...that this is a life time thing and not just a quick fix and then go back to my old ways.   Keep the advice coming and I will keep working at getting healthy.

Rainy Thursday

Sorry I have not posted for awhile.   It has been hard to find time to post much.  Another weird week in the making.  Lots of celebrations, Mother's day, Birthdays, Engagements, Births, Jewelry Party and Anniversary party.  Not good for the diet .  It is hard to keep track with all the extra food around.  Still feeling good about things because my weight is steady at least.   I don't want to get down on myself for not doing as well as I feel I should....so I won't.   My hip and knee feels a bit better which is good.  Got up and exercised for 35 minutes this morning.  So I can at least feel like I did something today right.

Happy Sunday

It is a Happy Sunday..1.  because it is Mother's day...2)  I didn't lose any weight this week but still feel ok about it in my mind.   It has been a weird week of eating healthy food ...not eating healthy food, exercising...not exercising because of major pain again.   But I did not gain weight and I feel OK about myself...not down on me as I usually am.    So that is why it is a Happy Sunday.

Thursday 5-6-10

Interesting week.   Have not had time to post or much to post about.   I got up this morning and did 45 minutes of weights and resistance bands this morning so this made me feel good.   The night before I  mowed and that increased my calorie burn by over 300 calories.   Not sure if that is the reason or not but the next day (yesterday) my glutes hurt so bad.   I not only was mowing but mowing against a very strong wind...strong enough that it kept almost blowing my shirt up over my head...so I was really pushing plus most of my mowing is on an incline around the house....!    I have upped my calcium and fiber quite a bit with my eating and also have found a calcium and fiber supplement to my liking.    Not sure how good that is...Target carries Calcium gummie suppliments and Gummie fiber supplements !  Aren't I horrible...it has to taste like candy to make me like it.    I just have to remember that they are supplements and you only take 2 a day...they are NOT candy.   They also made gummie vitamins but I think they have iron in them and supposidly you should not take iron at my age.
