two posts in one week

Wow, two posts in one week. What's up with that? First I don't write for months, then I'm dropping in weekly, and now twice in one week. Something freaky with that. Don't get used to it, eventually I'll forget again, LOL. I just thought I'd share some news. I started walking yesterday. You would have laughed if you could have heard me talking to myself. Thank goodness for my ipod, it looked like I was singing. :) First I started with, "I can't do this, it hurts, I need to stop". Then I'd say; "shut up, you can do this, just keep going". This was just until the end of the road and it's a short road. LOL. I finally made it to the end of the road I was gonna turn around and go back home, you know start small short trips until I could walk longer and farther. Well I kept walking, and walking. I ended up going around the block which is about a half a mile. So it turned out to be a long walk. it was hot so I was sweating like a pig too. I finally got home and wanted to just die, actually felt good, from heat stroke. Well last night I started with mega leg cramps and I still have them today. I think I pushed it just a bit too much. But I don't care, I'll be doing it again on Thursday. I figure I'll walk every other day to start, then go to every day. When that becomes comfortable I'll add more distance. Eventually I'll be walking to and from exercise every day. I should then be dropping the pounds just a bit faster as well as toning up. I so am on a roll right now and even with the winter coming I'm not giving up. I'll just dress comfortable. Yesterday I was weighed and measured at Curves and I've lost 15 pounds and inches. My legs and arms are thinning out. My stomach is going down. Finally I'm starting to get a shape. Well, I had one before, round, now I'm going toward an hourglass. A big one, more like a three hourglass but eventually I will be an hour. OK, I had to add that info, will be back on Sunday.

new week and 2 more pounds

Well it's another week and 2 more pounds, and I am feeling great. This week is the week I get weighed and measured through curves. I find out exactly how much I've lost for the month and how many inches. They say the inches are the most important, but let me tell you, if you're not losing pounds, you feel like you're just stagnating. I know I did. I was exercising but not dieting and was dropping inches but no weight. I felt awful. But now, I feel great. Now if I was walking I'd feel a lot better and would be dropping more. I just don't seem to have the energy to do that. Also, I'm scared of the pain it causes. I know eventually I'll feel better, but the pain to start is just unbearable and irritating. Maybe I'll try today.

Went to the doctor found out my stupid asthma is turning into copd. Lucky, lucky me. Maybe now I should quit smoking. Got my flu shot and my pneumonia shot. So I'm all set for cold and flu season. Now if the allergy season would just end, things would be great. Well, not much to talk about, so I'm off to start some laundry and go take a walk, or at least try. That's all I can do, is try a little at a time until eventually I can walk a mile or so. Wish me good luck.

more weight loss

Well I came back. I lost another 2 lbs this week making the total so far 13. YAY, doing the happy dance. I definitley am doing something right. Oh I feel so good. I also reached another goal of mine, I got into a pair of jeans. Yup, I haven't been able to wear any of my jeans for a year. and I refused to buy new ones in bigger sizes so it was mostly sweats for pants. Needless to say we hardly ever went out. But now I fit in a pair of jeans. Soon I'll be in the 18's and I have a ton of those because I was that size forever. well no more. I am going down. No more fat nana with the soft pillows. Nope not me.

We played pool in a tournament this weekend and it sure felt great to wear my jeans and be comfortable. They weren't too tight where I couldn't sit down, but I did notice the legs are really baggy. I must be losing in my legs faster than my stomach. Oh well, who cares where as long as I lose, right. I'm gonna run now be back next week and hopefully I'll have more good news.

Let's try this again

Again it's been a while since I was here, and I think it's time I came back. So much is going on and I am so excited right now I need to share. I'm dieting through weight watchers online and exercising through curves. In 8 weeks I've lost 11 pounds. yup, 11 pounds. doing the happy dance. Now the good thing about WW online is that I track my food, my exercise and my weight. the bad thing is, no one to talk to. so when it steals a point because I'm not losing fast enough, I swear at the computer. I look like a mad woman cursing away at something that can not curse back. LOL. DH asked what the hell I was doing, but after explaining he really didn't understand. LOL. Now Curves is great. I go M - F @ 7 am. perfect for me as I'm an early riser. starts my day off perfectly. I can then do any appointments I have or cleaning that needs to be done. whatever, it's great, and I feel great. It takes all of 1 hour. Sunday is weigh myself day, so I think that will be blog day too.

I don't feel guilty if I skip a day because of late night pool. like last night we didn't get home until 1 am, so we didn't get to bed til after 2. no way did I make it to exercise. I needed my sleep. I have a main goal on what I want to lose and a few small goals so that I don't get disappointed. my main and big huge goal is 129 pounds. yup, I'm a big woman. my first goal is now 29 pounds, the next goal is 33 pounds, then 33 pounds, then 34 pounds. that should do it. I can do this, and I will. I look for no miracles just hard work. my health is fine, so I shouldn't have any worries. If things go according to my plan, I should loose the 29 lbs in about 3 to 3 1/2 months. so by the end of this year I should be looking good. I can do this. I will do this. soon as more weight comes off, I will start walking. It's just right now is really really hard.

I haven't been crocheting for a while, been babysitting all summer for the grandkidz. it was interesting to say the least. but with the seasons changing I think I will be getting back into it. there are some things I would like to make. I still need to take some pics of things I've made and download them to the computer. which now that the computer is working right, I crashed it as usual, I can.

well I'm off for the day, be returning on Sunday.
