Friday, Aug. 29

Well not anything to report. So glad it's Friday and a long weekend. Work has been horrible. All they are talking about here in Louisiana is the hurricane that's coming. Of course after the horrible incident 3 years ago they have reason to be nervous. Hopefully things won't get as bad as they fear! Nite all!

Life is getting easier!

Well I have been so busy getting ready each day for my students that I haven't had time to think about much else. I'm so tired at night and have had to take home so much that all I want to do is get some sleep. But things are getting easier. The kids are getting the routines down and so am I and I'm not bringing so much home any more.
On a different note, I bought a scooter this summer and am riding it to school to save gas money. I haven't been able to ride it because it has rained so much, but finally this week has been beautiful. It's fun and relaxing to ride. Everyone at school has been looking at it and questioning me. Lots of them think they want one too. I'm lucky I only live about 15 miles from work and it's all country roads. The scooter will go about 55 most of the time so I'm there in about 20 minutes.
That's about all for the time being. I'm still staying within a couple of pounds of my LIW.

Not much to report. I'm staying pretty steady in my weight. My biggest problem with maintaining my weight is my thoughts of how I should be losing. When I'm dieting I'm sick of it but when I'm not I'm consumed with thoughts of how I could be losing weight. It's so silly because I don't lose because I'm sick and tired of it. So I am determined to give myself a long break so I won't feel so deprived when I start again. I do want to plan it so that I'm not in low cal. mode at Thanksgiving. Maybe with good planning I will feel ok about everything and pleased with my loses but not deprived on holidays.

New Picture!

Well I have been very busy and tired this week. I've had my first week back to school and have been busy getting back into the swing of things. It is also my daughters 18th birthday and today we had a party for her. During the party I got a call asking for a new picture so here's one at the party tonight. I guess you can tell that I've lost weight exspecially in the stomach area. Until later.

Had a hard time figuring out the new dashboard!

Well things are going alright. My niece graduated from college this week and we had a big eating party. I ended up gaining 2 pounds! I'm about to be done for this round and I am going to take a long break at least 6 weeks. I'm just tired of diets and this battle! I guess I'm just tired from getting back to school. I feel depressed and down! I'm also angry at the people that can eat and eat and stay the same weight or they say "I'm so fat!" Life isn't fair! I know, I know who said life is fair! Sorry to be so down and out. I know deep down inside I have so much to be thankful for, but sometimes it's hard to feel it! I'll let ya'll know how it's going later. Have a good night!

Time flies!

This time of year is so busy for me. I have been getting ready for the new school year, taking my kids to dental appointments, and on top of that my niece is graduating from college and leaving for a new job. So what I'm rambling about is that time got away from me and I didn't realize I hadn't written in 5 days. Good news I have continued to lose and I'm down about 4 pounds now. I now weigh 175.4. I'll try to do better and keep ya'll updated more often. Until later!

Evening everyone! Since my last post I have had one apple day because I had stalled. I did end up losing about 3 pounds that day and then lost a pound the next day. Hopefully I will continue to lose. I am now at 179.4! Just barely under the 180's but finally below! That has been my stopping point for a long time! Some of it was my on mental block. I do not know why but I seem to cheat and gain every time I was at the point of going under 180. So I hope now that I am under I will break that cycle. Hope everyone else is doing well. Thanks for reading!

When it rains it pours!

Yesterday my daughter tells me her ear hurts. I'm thinking swimmer ear and give her some medicine for the pain and go to bed. She wakes me during the night and is complaining of pain again. Well this daughter is really got a high pain tolerance so I know it's bad. Today we went to the doctor and she says it is a really bad ear infection! She has to get a shot and some oral medicine. Meanwhile my other daughter has to go to orientation for college and keeps calling about things they want or need. Later I decide to get me and my oldest daughter a hair cut. The lady is washing my hair and says, Are you kinda stressed, you scalp is as tight as a steel band! Yea I'm stressed! I didn't lose an thing! I guess I need to chill out and relax. Hope things get better tomorrow and the weight starts coming off again.
Later!

Monday Aug 4

Not much to tell. Lost a pound in the last couple days. I think stress is getting to me. I found out that my car needs 800 dollars of work so I don't have to be in 110 degree heat! Not going to happen right now. Someone put a puppy out here and it can to my house. I called the pound and fed it! It looks like a skeleton! I hate when people put animals out! It takes a long time to starve! At least in the pound someone might take it or it at least gets fed! Ok off my soap box! Have a good evening!

Aug. 2

I'm down 1.4pounds today so I'm at 184.6. That's great but I'm still above my LIW!
The last 24 hours has been really wild. We had a freak storm and I ended up with a hugh limb on my deck. I was so blessed that it didn't hit the house or tear up anything only dented my grill!! My dad had to get the tractor to pull it off because it was so big! I had to take my youngest daughter to the dentist and we had to go to her new college to get some paper work done. The weather is sooooo hot it got to 105 today and my cars air is out. I had a wedding to go to and it was an hour away. My daughter and I looked like wet and messy dogs by the time we got there. And now it looks like my mom has the flu! Hope next week is quieter!
Oh well at least I'm losing weight!
Have a great night!
