It has been a time of "lots of company"! You know what that means? Eating out and snacks in the house!! I had Cheetos in my house this summer!! Yikes! Ha Ha!! No it wasn't that bad, but it did not make for record weight loss either. The past month I have had a few weeks of gains and some good losses too. One week in July I lost almost 9 lbs. Then I gained almost 3, gained a couple ozs. and then last week lost almost 3 lbs. We are going on a family vacation in early November, well a long weekend at least, to Disney World. I want to be able to walk all day and maybe even "fit" on some rides!! Not the roller coasters! But some of those fun ones in Fantasy Land. We have not been in over 10 years! They may have all new rides! I had to stop walking outside this summer, just got too HOT! Even at night, I was walking at 10:30 PM hoping for a little coolness, didn't happen. So I started taking my grandson to the Mall at least 5 days a week to walk. It has been fun! Never have been much of a shopper, so I feel so informed now that I know which stores are having the best sales. Oh yes! I walk every where, not just in the main mall. I have to say that the smell of "hot pretzels" is not a good motivator! I can't wait for the nice weather to come back so that I can once again walk outside where the temptations are not an issue. But I would really like to buy some clothes from Coldwater Creek! So two big desires to keep me motivated! Clothes and a trip to Disney!

I don't like them!! At least this first week I don't. I have not had as much energy, although the good part is that I am sleeping better. I have also noticed that I am not getting that "I am full" feeling. But the sleeping part is so much better, that it may be worth it! I have had some good losses this month and then I gained a few too. Last week I lost a little over 6 lbs and two weeks ago, I lost almost 8 lbs. The bad news is that I gained in the middle... makes me so mad!! With the heat just too much for me, I have been walking at the mall. My little grandson and I try to go everyday. Pushing him in the stroller helps me with my posture. I hurt my foot AGAIN!! I came rushing in the house after being on the wet porch, carrying the baby. Slipped on the tile!! Why is it always the same left foot that gets hurt? So that put a halt to my walking over the weekend. By Tuesday, it was well enough that I could resume walking. Sure hope it does not effect my weigh in tomorrow! How is everyone doing on the new Meds.? I don’t like them!! At least this first week I don’t.

I picked up 3# and last week i lost them again. I am excited to weigh in this week. I've been running 3days a week 2 miles and boot camp 3 days also. Also paying close....close attention to my food. There is a test Dr.L wants me to do. about testing my cortizone lvl. If it's out of whack, that may explain up and down. If I produce to much, it would influence my weight. I'll keep you informed. sorry I missed a post, summer, it’s been crazy. I picked up 3# and last week i lost them again. I am excited to weigh in this week.

I have come to the conclusion that I am not like "normal people"!! I can't eat a "carb" one day and think it doesn't effect my whole week. That is so sad! "C" in the Clearwater office, (ha ha! they are all C's") said I should look at it like I am Allergic to carbs!!! Yuck!! I lost a few and gained a few and it is very discouraging. I did try for the first time, the "Egg in a Mug" breakfast. Wow, I have been missing a convenience! I used the turkey sausage, laughing cow Swiss cheese, and egg beaters. Very good!! I like my eggs a little on the dry side, no "liguid", so I cooked it a little longer than the recipe states. Tonight I am going to try the Chocolate Ricotta. Sounds Good, I hope it is!

I lost 3 pounds last week. This week end was a struggle! For me, family gatherings are probably my biggest area of weakness. Our family does not get together without it being a meal of some sort. I also have a hard time eating out and knowing what is the best thing to order. I am learning the tricks of special ordering my food and making the right choices, but it does not mean that I like it!! Ha ha!! This is a lifetime and lifestyle change! I guess I also better learn to like it!! Working toward another good weight loss this week..... I had a pretty good weigh in on Friday. I lost 3 pounds last week. This week end was a struggle!

I have had two bad weeks for weight loss. Dr. Lara and I talked this week and he reminded me of the great opportunity I have to participate in this program. I can choose to take advantage of it or choose to just be happy with my weight loss so far. I am choosing to take advantage of this gift and get my mind and my heart back into some serious discipline. One thing he said that really "hit home" with me; When things in our life are out of control, could be anything, finances, relationships, stress of any kind, I can choose to say, this one area I have control over!! I will choose to have peace and self control in this area in my life. I can choose to have better health!! I can choose to do something good for me! I deserve to have a body that will let me walk without pain! Some of my short term goals; to be able to walk the new beach walk at Clearwater Beach, I can do that now, play outside with my grandson, I can do that now, get off of my expensive meds, I am off one already, clean my house with out "huffing and puffing", I can do that now too. But now it is time for some long term goals! I don't want to be that complacent person who gains back the weight. I want to be the person who takes it off, lives life to the fullest, and keeps it off because I am just too happy to ever go back to the way I was at the beginning.

Last week I was down 4# yea, but I was worried about Easter. Ham, salty and I retain water, and Candy, which I just like, and the tradition of resurrection rolls, great story and just plain yummy. So I did the ham, and scalloped potoatoes is a tradition that my family enjoys, but I cannot have. So as Dr.L says "what ever you do with a potato you can do with a turnup. So I did, sliced turnups thin used egg beaters, light cheese, skim milk, and konjak flour. I have to say that was better than the potato version and dare I say better than the ham. So I weighed in this week, down another 4#. wow, I was happy. So I am at 251, only 50# away from my husband,lol. I am sorry I haven’t checked in in a couple of weeks.
