hungry days and not so hungry days

I wonder why I am so much hungrier some days than I am on others.  I would think that it has to do with how much exercise I get and what I am eating.  The thing is that I eat about the same thing every day up until supper.  My evening meal varies, but the rest of the day is usually the same.  Today, I was really hungry at suppertime, but was satisfied with my frozen dinner and a bowl of cereal for dessert.  I know, I have an odd diet, but it works for me.  My DH works overnight, so he was asleep when I got home from work - I don't cook when it is just for me so the frozen dinners are great.  Having an apple for a snack now.  I have been thinking about how easy it has become for me to eat healthy.  There are days that I look at the brownies in the display case at Starbucks and almost order one, but I don't. I know that one slip during the week will lead to all the bad habits coming back.  Better to wait till Sunday when I can treat myself without guilt.

I am between sizes right now.  I was wearing a 20 in pants...they are way too big for me now!!! For a while, I could belt them and go without tucking my shirt in, but now they look awful...which is so great!!!  I have some 18's that fit, but some of them are too big and the 16's are zippable, but too tight to wear.  I have some good pants that don't fit, thinking about having them altered.

As you can tell, I am very happy about my clothing situation right now.  There is some other family stress going on so I really need the good news of pants that are too big!!

Almost time for bed...I hope tomorrow is as nice as today...I am off and I can't wait to get out for a walk!!

Stay Healthy!!

Flowers...springtime...sunshine!!!

I got up this morning and took a walk. We went out for a light breakfast before heading home.  I have been doing my flower gardening in stages.  I love having flowers, but I am too lazy to do a lot of gardening so I did it in steps: Cut back dead growth from last year Attacked the weed-vine that invades everything in our small back yard. Attacked the weed - vine again...and again...finally found some of its roots and dug them out...that was no small task Put down some bags of garden soil...more exercise...they were heavy Put up a wooden border to keep the dirt away from the grass Today I finally planted my Iris', lilies, and  Aquilegia Took a break to write my blog I want my flower garden to be all Perennials so each year I will have a beautiful display without much work.  The hardest part will be keeping the invading weeds out!! Time for a shower!! Stay healthy and enjoy the weather!!

13 Weeks!!

It has been 13 weeks since I started this challenge to myself...here I am down 20 pounds...that is better than a pound a week!!! I started losing even before New Years Day!! I feel so much better...today had two bonuses 1. I hit the 20 pound lost mark 2. SOMEONE NOTICED THAT I HAVE LOST WEIGHT!!!! Wow, what a feeling. I was at work, spent some time talking to a woman who I don't see very often and when there was no one else around she said "you're doing good losing weight...I was checking it out.. you look good" I thanked her and told her how much it meant to me to have her say it. She is heavy, also and I think that those of us in that club really want to make sure that we recognize each other for our successes. It made my day! I have a meeting on Thursday and I am hoping that I can find one of my smaller skirts that fits so I can wear it...what a great feeling that will be! I am already fitting into some of my smaller clothes. My big pants are fairly new so I am ...

Let's Recap...

Now seems like a good time to go back and look at my goals to see how I am doing. The last set of short term goals I set were these: 1. Eat a more balanced diet (less carbs, more protein and...silly as it sounds...more fat) 2. Stick to between 1300 and 1400 calories a day 3. No Lattes for a week... put $2.00 in my goal jar for every day I don't drink a Latte How have I done? 1. I really make an effort to eat protein with each meal...sometimes that is a handfull of nuts...I added them to a salad the other day and it was very good 2. Doing well here, I seldom go below 1300 and although I do go over 1400 some days, I rarly go above 1500, my top end goal is 1560 so I am eating a good amount of food 3. I have had one or two non-fat lattes since I started this goal...just like diet soda, the less I have them, the less I want them. I will review my other goals tomorrow!
