Good Saturday evening! 

I think I finally figured out why people like to write Blogs...the reason I want to write now is that I have found there are things that I would like to talk about but I don't know other people who want to talk about the same thing.

Let me give you an example:

Over the course of the past 5 years, I have lost 73 pounds.  From January 2013 till about August, I lost around 60 pounds. I kept that off until early 2015.  I started working an office job, which I never did before, and I gained about 20 pounds back.  In the summer of 2017, I got partly back on track and lost 5 pounds, but just couldn't get the rest off. My goal weight at that time was 160...and I was hovering around 175 - 178.  Finally sometime late last Fall, with some encouragement from my DH, I started losing again and since then have reached my 160 pound goal...reset my goal to 155, reached that goal...reset my goal to 150...and I reached that goal last week!  Now my goal is what ultimate goal is.. 147 pounds!  I don't know if I will ever get there, but if I can stay at 150, I will be thrilled...I was thinking I wouldn't even make it to 160...and here I am...10 pounds less than that! 

This is the problem with talking about this.  The only people I know, with the exception of my DH, either don't have and never have had as serious a weight problem as I have, or they still have a weight problem and they really don't seem to like to hear about my success.  Perhaps it is the way that I approach it, but at least I finally remembered that I have a place to come and share my thoughts.

Have a blessed evening!

Getting ready for P90X

One of my goals is that when I have lost 28 pounds, I will start doing the P90X workouts. I bought the set of DVD's two years ago and was just too heavy and out of shape to do them. I tried, but it was too much for me to sustain. Now I am 6 pounds away from meeting my goal so I started looking at the program last night...specifically the eating plan. I did all the figuring and it came out that I should eat 2400 calories a day when doing the workout. I can't imagine that is correct, I am sure that with the job that I have...spending much of my time in a car or sitting in meetings, that will be too much. Right now I eat between 1300 and 1500 calories a day, burn around 1100 calories in my workouts and I lose 1-2 pounds a week. I wonder if that calculation is based on maintaining weight and building endurance and muscle....who knows? I will have to research it further. The other thing is that I don't know if I will do the P90X every day, or if I will do other workouts, li...

walk on a chilly morning

My DH called me at 8am to ask if I wanted to go for a walk when he got home from work. Sure, I said, trying to be cheery, even though he had awakened me from a strange dream. My plan was to get back on track with diet and exercise today, so that was great timing. I put on some jeans that were less than clean, pulled my hair back in a pony tail, slipped on a t-shirt and sweatshirt and waited for his arrival. Shortly after he got home, I was checking out Yoville (almost have enough coin to buy my Cape Cod) when DH made a disgusted noise...he was trying to put my shoes on. You see, my feet are big and so we get our shoes mixed up easily. Anyway, we got our walking shoes on and away we went. It was cold...32 degrees! It was good to get out and walk...I have had so many things going on the last couple weeks that I have really ignored good eating habits and exercise has only been hit or miss. We were walking under the railroad underpass (highline as they call it here) and spotted a tin...

Tuesday evening

Getting ready to go out to dinner. It is not too bad here temperature wise, but it is supposed to get really windy. I am excited, I found out today that we will have the MLB network starting at 6pm on New Year's Day. All baseball, 24 hours a day, all year! It is only 107 days till the new Yankee Stadium opens, and less than two months till pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training!!! I love baseball and baseball season can't come quickly enough to suit me. Good day working from home today, got a lot of things done that I had been putting off.
