Here we go again....

with another goal to meet. Well actually, it is still the original goal that I never met. If I remember right -my lowest weight was 149lbs. And I have officially left that in the past. I weighed this weekend after several months of emotional eating and the past month I have given in to horrible, horrible emotional overeating! I weighed in at a whopping 162lbs. What the crap??? How did I let this happen? So much hard work down the stinking drain. Atleast I am not back at my original weight so that is good.

OK, there it is. All out in the open. Now I can move on and do something about it. I think I finally have my head on straight about eating! You know when you have to sit yourself down and make yourself understand that you must think about what you are putting in your mouth *before* you put it in your mouth!! That is one of the best strategies I learned in the past.

Today, in spite of the drizzling rain and dropping temperature I went to the school and walked around the track two times. I know, I know....doesn't sound like much but believe me for my chubby hiney it is a GREAT START!

Also today I ate much less. Maybe not the best eating in the world but much better and not near as much as I have been eating. Tomorrow is a new day and I plan to take a few more baby steps in the right direction!

Good luck to me.....again! I also hope that I can build a few more readers here at the blog everyone experienced me disappearing from for a while:(

Better than it was

My eating is much better than it was. While it could still be better, I am getitng there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trying very hard to get back on track and think about what I am eating and putting into my mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Drinking more tea and water.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I still feel very bloated in my stomach area.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eating a lot more veggies and fruits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Off to work and I have so much to get done there today. We then have a surprise something for Brittany's graduation tonight. I will share later what it is in case she happens to hop over here and read. I am sure my blog is the least of her worries but just in case.

I worked in my front flower bed last night. Also, Kenny got my garden tilled and I planted some bell pepper and pineapple sage. I am going to work on it this weekend.

Have a great Friday and eat some fruit and veggies today:)

Just a thought: Have you thanked God for all of your life lessons? Each life experience you have had down the high road and the low road? Take time today to thank him.....

Two Days of Bad Eating

As I mentioned in my post below I had two bad days of eating. I did really well in my opinion on Thanksgiving Day. I had pickles, olives, green onions, cranbery sauce, white turkey, 1 helping of dressing, one helping of baked beans. For dessert I had two pieces of pumpkin pie made from can pumpkin, and fat fee Eagle Brand. I had water all day and two cups of coffee. For supper I had a little turkey and another helping of baked beans. Now considering all of the options I had that I could have eaten, I felt I did ok.

Then Friday came. It started raining a little here with cold temps and I worked off an on at home. I finished up around 3pm and it hit me. I was just so stinking hungry. I don't even really remember what all I had to eat, but it definately was not the greatest choices I could have made.

Then Saturday. It was raining really bad all day and was pretty cold for East Texas. I know I ate way to much peanut butter and other crap. Just crap. We went to eat dinner with Brittany's boyfriend family. That's right we went to visit Big Momma again...(update on Big Momma -she sent 13 days in the hospital and then went home. She is looking so much better and is doing well!). Big Momma's husband cooked supper and boy did he cook some wonderful food!! One of my fave's meatloaf!! And the others I eat -green beans, mushrooms, and peas. Not to bad unti I had seconds of the delicious meatloaf and them pound cake with cool whip and berries for dessert.

I am not even going to depress you with Sunday. Let's just say it was no better and I am thinking I should be glad I gained 2 pounds. I guess I am just glad this binge eating is over with. I do think that it is a good thing that I can now recognize it as what it is -binge eating. That was my normal eating pattern (even worse) before I started my weight los journey July 23.

There. That's the two days of bad eating story. That's it. Not to be mentioned again. In the past. OVER!!!

By the way I have found homes for two of my baby puppies. One to my inlaws (could not ask for a better home) and that other is to a family friend (another great home). I will be able to continue seeing both puppies and that makes me so happy!!! Those two cuties are now names Teddy (my inlaws chaned his name to this) and Gizmo (we had named him this and the new owner likes the name). We kept the black puppy and a doll she is. We named her Darla. What a precious baby. Just precious!

To each of you thanks for listening and hey, stay tuned!!!!
