2025

 200.5.   Starting line.  Ready. Set. Let’s go!!!!

No excuses.  No pain.  No gain.    Get my head back in the game.   Cut carbs, chips, candy, bread….add protein and water!!  Lucy girl..YOU GOT THIS!   Pictures don’t lie!

2025 right around the corner…

 Wow, 2025 is in 2 days.   Still fat but not as fat.  I’ve had weight loss surgery and got down to 180..today I am back up to 220. 40 lbs up.  I need to get it off and then some.  My family is my support system.   They want to see me healthy and so do I.  They don’t nag me about losing but I know they want it for me. I love them so much.  They are struggling g with their dad’s alcoholism.  They don’t need to worry about me too.  

So today at 220, I found this old blog.  I wanted to add to it so I know where I’ve been and how I struggle with weight loss.  But I now have the tools (my surgery in 2017) and the know how.   I just need to put it back in place and put me and my family first.   

Here’s to 2025! 

Today I begin my 365 day journey.   I found it amusing and fitting that this was today's tip!  First because I AM starting my new journey today, and secondly because I am going to see Journey on Monday with Mindy! 🎶. I can't wait!  It was my Christmas present from her!    Love their music!  Ill worry about all the stairs when I get there!

My beginning weight for this journey is 274.7.  This is the last day I will see that number!  It's all downhill from here ha.   I will start meetings next Monday.   I'd start this Monday but I will be at the concert!!   Resting up my leg for tomorrow.   Hope I am able to put pressure on my knee so I can make it to my seat!

Day one started...only 364 more days to go!

May 21, 2016. Tomorrow I begin

Back to weight watchers.  I am going to attend meetings over the summer.  I am giving myself one year.  I can do this for one year.  By then, I hope to see changes.  I am starting tomorrow.   I have the app.  I will look for a meeting and attend all through the summer.  I need the support.  I am putting my faith in myself, so hopefully I don't let myself down!  It's going to be hard to break all of my bad unhealthy habits.  I will change one thing at a time.   👍🙏

And here I go again Dec 2015

Tomorrow when I wake up, there are no more excuses.  Sure, I may not be perfect every day, but I will pull myself back up and do better the next day.   I am doing this for me now.  I want to make changes in my life beginning with my relationships...especially with God.    I have not been a good Catholic and thus haven't set a good example for my kids.  I need to make things right with Him before anything.  Once I do that, the rest will fall into place.  Goodnight and God Bless.🙏

Seriously?

I have read over my old posts.....seems like I gave jumped from one bandwagon to another.  The juicer really was a stupid idea!  Seriously?   Who can do that???  Oh, and the magic pink drink!  Righhhht.  

I have actually lost weight.   I weighed yesterday morning and was at 279.9.   Not great but better than 303!   I've been watching what I eat.  Keegan walking but something popped in my left leg and it hurts so bad that I can hardly put any pressure on it.   I went with Vanessa to Salina yesterday. Could hardly walk but I tried to push through it.   I hate letting the kids down.  When I got home I think I cried all the way from my car to the house it hurt so bad!   Today I have my leg propped and am praying I can walk tomorrow for school.  I refuse to be a fat, disabled person.   I fear the damage is already done though. I am praying for 20 more pounds by the trip in December.  That would put me at 260.  250 would be better though!   There is no magic pill......just hard work.  I got this.

Summer Break 2015

I just realized I can have a decent breakfast and not go over my calories for the day!  I have been eating instant oatmeal about every morning and was getting totally sick of it.   Well today I get 2 pieces of French toast and 1/2 cup of strawberries instead!!!  224 calories.   Not too shabby!and it only took1/2 of the summer for me to figure out! Haha oops! 😋

This picture was taken dec 7, 2013... I haven't made much progress from there but I plan to.   Once a month, I will take this exact picture..... Hopefully I will see loss after loss!!!  I cannot believe I ever weighed over 300 lbs and this wasn't even my highest!  My highest was 315!!!  I need to do this for my health.   I can do this!

Not much planned for the day, I may try to get some mowing done.   We shall see!
