Tempted by the snacks in the canteen....

I actually had a few different ones in my hand.. Even considered cutting off a piece of a donut.. just for a taste..... I managed to not go ahead with my plans...

I am hungry again... Had a good lunch... Just wasn't enough of it. I've lost one more lb, so I'll take my victories where I can......

I haven't been walking like I should be.. Just tired of that too.. Disheartened from not losing any more weight.. So yesterday, after I got home, I worked in the yard raking and bagging leaves for an hour and a half. Everything from the waist down is sore today.. Good gracious!! But, I got the workout in, and it was good exercise. When I carried those HUGE trash bags full of leaves to the curb, I clung the bag over my shoulder, and then did tri-cep overhead presses... I'm sure I looked funny, but I made it work.. :-)

Not feeling well tongiht....

I am still trying to figure out the day-to-day of my journey... All these new rules for what I can and cannot eat, what I'm supposed to do in between.

So far I've not done what I was supposed to 3 times, and paid for it.... got to remember to eat when I am supposed to. And to not eat when I am not supposed to... I've kept at it. I have lost no more weight, though I've just about killed the treadmill. That's very disheartening. I know--I may be building muscle which is good.. I don't want muscle, I want to lose POUNDAGE......

Today my friend and I went to a mexican restuarant.. I only had maybe 5 chips and 1 tortilla, but ended up getting sick at our next stop.. I'm hoping it was from the salad yesterday, and not the carbs I had.. that was not fun.. definitely put a damper on our big plans for the day.....

Another week.....

So.. it's the start of another week.... My mom was in the hospital this past week. My sister had to call an ambulance Thursday b/c she couldn't breathe. The doc's think it's pneumonia, and after 2 days in the hospital and much antibiotics, she's now home and on the mend. They said it would take 6-8wks for the pneumonia to go away.. Dang.

I have managed to stay on track. The 5 lbs I lost, then gained, I have fought to re-lose. I've managed that and two lbs more. I got my monthly friend, so now that I've calmed down (no PMS jokes), I realize that's where the 5 lbs came from. Still hitting the treadmill hard--though I didn't do anything yesterday.. I felt like a complete and total slug. Just finished my daily 30+ minute torture.

Other than my ma, nothing major going on in life right now--which I'll take. The last couple of years have been filled with other peoples' drama... It's out of my life now, for the most part, and I am thankful......

Church today was good. The messages there inspires me... but it can't be enough to just feel inspired on Sunday, I've got to walk it out the rest of the week...... That's the hard part.... I guess it is for all of us...

This whole thing is just a rambling.. I apologize for that.... Haven't posted in a while, so whatever flows across my head is flying out of my finger tips.......
