I just decided over the weekend to lose 20 pounds by my birthday in Sept. EEEKK!! I worked out 4 days last week and have been trying to eat better and drink that water.

Sometimes life just gets in the way and we have to re-adjust and scale back. I have about 10 things that had to get done by last weekend. I decided that they can get/be done by the weekend and the world will not end.

Count me back in!

Sorry, I haven’t posted much.  I have been doing other things to take care of myself.  Like WALKING!  I have been walking w. a girlfriend.  This is where we have been walking.  We take the cliff walk above the ocean, it is so beautiful.  It takes us about an hour to do the loop.  OMG!  I have been so sore.  So it must be working. I will give it a few more walks and then get on the scale to see if I have lost anything.

My computer time is much less, when I take care of myself.  It seems I use the computer as a distraction….I bet lots of us do that.  Anyway, the bottom line is that I feel better!

In case you were wondering:  Chinese food and Dancing Bear cookies are not good for weight loss.

But, them cookies are so good!!!

I have been dancing around the house, that has to count.  Right?

I went home yesterday and was moody and did not want to work out.  But, I did.  I found my new Theme Song: Unwritten by Natasha Bedingford.  It is great and brought me right out of my funk and I did my workout in a flash. I posted the lyrics on my blog if you are interested.  You have probably heard the song it is all over VH-1.  This song has the perfect beat for working out.

Thanks for all the support!

I have been MIA for all of Feb.  Really, I wasn’t fit to be around.  I was in the midst of my annual Feb. Funk!

I’m coming back and need the support of you fine people.  I haven’t gained back much, but it is only a matter of time.  I need to get back to eating correctly and working out.  The weather is a little nicer, so that should help. 

There is no time like now.  If I keep waiting for something to happen that makes me happy, it will never happen. And, what makes me happy is weighing less.  One of the things anyway.  Like anything weight loss is a process, although I could be tempted w. a magic purple pill. 

I am here, kind of. The last week or so has been bad mentally.

I had to go back on an antibiotic and cannot work out. My eating has been ok and I haven;t gained any weight. But things are very stressful here and I have a lot on my mind.

I need to get myself together and get back in the game. My pants are all too big and I don;t want them to be tight again. I look forward to reading the posts and feelin’ the love.

I have made Thursday my offical weigh in day.  I was done another 1.5.  The total to date, since the surgeries, is 16.5 pounds lost.  I have 43 Pounds2Go.  My pants are loose and that is great.  The problem:  Thursday and Friday were incredibly stressful.  My eating and h20 consumption sucked.  I did not exercise.  Basically, my head was out of the game.  At least, I did it at the beginning of my week.  I am thinking I have to find a way to get rid of the stress.  Let’s face it, stress of one form or another is always going to be around.  I get overwhelmed and exhausted and any rational thought is out the window.

Today, I am tired.  I am going to do a long cardio session and then stretch/yoga for awhile.  We are having dinner at friends house.  (Note to self:  Limit alcohol, eat the seafood, no dessert.)  And, we are having friends over for dinner tomorrow (note:  Same rules apply).
