AnnaGail's Weight Loss Diary

Today 3/11
3 blueberry pancakes with light syrup, 4 slices low sodium bacon (primrose). 1 cup of bean salad, 1 hot dog with 1 helping of onion rings. Slices of cucumber. 40 oz of water. I know I am not there yet, but much better, then the last few days.
 
March 12 (I weigh 148.6) Slowly but, surely!

Today I had pancakes again with two slices of low sodium bacon. I have 12 points left. I am going to try and walk a mile with the walk at home DVD.

Today is a sad day, one of my nephews is burring his little baby Reese today. His wife was suppose to give birth to twin baby girls in May. They had named both babies already. Baby Reese was a little over 2lb and was dead before she was born on Wednesday of this week. Her baby sister lived and weighed 3lb and 4oz. They were suppose to bring her home yesterday if everything went ok. Baby Reese will be buried today at 12:00. So sad! They had pictures of baby Reagan Victoria and she looked so weak, but beautiful, and she is a little over 17inch long. I am crocheting a baby blanket for baby Reagan. I hope to have it finished by next week end, so I can give it to them. I am fixing it more like a baby afghan, so she can use it when she is a little older too.

On Saturday I had a had pancakes again, beansalad and in the even checken potato salad and a little mac. salad and watermelon.

Right now I am just cutting down on my eating and getting back in to counting points. To lose weight at this point I can only have 20 points a day. I didn't want breakfast this morning just has a banana and coffee. I wanted something salty so I had a few Cheezit and some jerky and then I had a sweet and salty nut Granola bar. Around three o'clock I had a sloppy Jo and a helping of potato salad and mac. salad, and some seedless watermelon, later I ate another banana. Right now pretty hungry, I may pop some popcorn and have a diet pepsi and start over tomorrow.
 
Hi Anna,

So sorry to hear about your nephew's baby. That is so small. I'm glad to hear the other one is OK. It has to be hard for the parents. Sorrow for losing one child but joy that the other lived.

Glad to see your back on tract with your weight loss.

Hi glad to see you! Baby Reagan gained 5oz since shes been home.

I am not really back with it yet, but trying hard not to gain it back. I weighed 150 today. I also walked almost a mile yesterday. My Dh came and picked me up because he saw a big dog running around. lol.
 
I'm glad to hear baby Reagan has gained some weight. My niece was born 3 1/2 months pre-mature and only weighed a couple of once's over 2 lbs and she made it. She's almost 8 now. It took her a while to catch up but she's fine and very smart now.

At least your doing some walking. Doesn't it seem like the last bit of weight is always so hard to get off. It's like that last bit of fat is clinging to us and just don't want to budge!
 
Hi Biglyn

Yes I have been walking a little. I have walked three miles since I started back. Yes the last bit of weight is hard to get off. I think with me, after I watch what I eat for so long. I want some of the foods I have been depriving myself from. I never was much for a lot of junk food, but I would eat some every once and a while. But I miss the fried potatoes and fried cornbread, which I could eat everyday.

Our refrigerator is sitting on the out side now, lol. So maybe I will start losing again. We bought a new refrigerator and stove, I let them set my old refrigerator on the outside. I gave it to my brother, but just so happen that he hasn't came to get it yet. I sent the new stove back, because it had dents on the side and I wouldn't let them bring it in. So they brought the refrigerador in and turned it on for me and like a dummy I put my food in the refrigerador with out reading the book. The refrigerator is computerized and you have to wait 24 hours before you put food in it, lol. Well after I put all the food in and even defrosted my freezer, then I read the instructions. I had to dragged my old refrigerator out back and hook it up on the out side and put my food in it, lol. The new refrigerator is not working. I have to weight until Thursday for them to bring my new refrigerator and stove that they had to order.

This will have to make you roll over and laugh! I have a new computerized refrigerator that I had to cut some of my cabinets out to fix it in, which doesn't work. A freezer in the washroom waiting for me to clean. An old refrigerator sitting on the outside with some of the frames broken that the drawers fits in, but at least it does work. Next they will want to computerize my commode! LOL.
 
LOL Just think of all the calories and extra walking time you'll get just trying to find your food! You might just end up too tired to eat!
That really is bad that you have to send both the stove and refrigerator back. They sure don't make things like they used to.
 
Actually we are not eating as often. I fixed some breakfast for the three of us and we all ate at the same time for a change. Then I cooked in the even (not much), but I did fix cornbread fritters and bean salad, and hamburger helper. I think I just need to get back to drinking water. I trimmed two apple trees today, before the storm started and I walked around the yard a little. My grass is getting big! I also put out one hummingbird feeder, I am hoping the hummingbirds will show up earlier this year.
 
Hi Anna!!

*hugs*

Glad to hear you're back walking!It's been awhile since I checked in, but it seems like you're doing great :)

Let me know if you saw some hummingbirds!! I need to know there are signs of spring somewhere ;)

No, I haven't seen any hummingbirds yet! It has been cold and we had a little wet snow last Sunday. I went Thursday to get my hair cut and it was pouring the snow. I think it is suppose to be back in the 70's one day this coming week. Last year I started seeing the hummingbirds on April 10, I thought I seen them earlier then that, but wasn't sure. I did put a feeder out when it first warmed up. Because I read on the Internet someone seen them as early as March 21. I have never seen them in my area of Kentucky that early.

I don't have much will power right now to continue to lose more weight, but I want to get back to eating healthy. I eat healthy, but eating a little junk food too. I started buying watermelon to snack on and that solves my hunger for sweets. How you been doing?
 
Hi Anna,
Maybe you just need a break for a while. Stopped by to say hi and see how you're doing. Sometimes it's hard to keep losing weight. Watermelon sounds good. Lately I've been wanting some good Bar-B-Q ribs! I know they are about the worst think I can eat. I keep saying to myself just lose a little more weight then go out and have some.

How's baby Reagan doing? Hope everything is going well.

Hi Biglyn, glad you stopped by. I think when it starts staying warm I will be back to my old self again. I made a meat loaf a couple of days ago. It was very good! I love the Bar-B-Q ribs from Apple B's Its the junk food that I am starting to eat that worries me. I sure don't want to gain the weight back, it is just too hard to get back off. I walked a mile today. I am thinking about joining the gym tomorrow, that always helps me. Then in June the pool will be open, so that will help me a lot.

Baby Regan is doing good, she has gained a pound.
 
Hi Anna!

Oo a haircut! That's so exciting! I always love getting a new 'do'!! Turns me right up! :)

I agree, perhaps you need a little break! You were always working so hard, and it's ok to scale back and take it easy! It's great that you got some fruit to help you with the snacking! It's just those little daily things that can do it!! Every time I want something sweet, I stop, think about it, and then go to the fridge and do what you do! -pick up fruit :)

You're doing great Anna! Once the weather warms up (and clears up!), it'll be easy to get out there and do all your fabulous walking :)

my Weight 150
 
Well haven't done much this morning, phone rung at 1:00am this morning and woke me up from a wonderful sound sleep. I was awake until 5:00am this morning. I got up a little after 8:00am and been awake since. Fed the dog, cat, and bird. I fixed my Dh and myself an egg sandwich and poured us a cup of coffee. I took a shower and did my measurements for April and post them to the beginning post. Not too bad, but need to do some major crunches for my lower abs, lol. I picked up trash from both bathrooms and took trash down to the trashcan (today is trash day). I need to do some Bible reading to feed my spirit. And then vac. the living room, after that I will dry my hair and go out side for a while and get some sun. I weighed myself again when taking a shower I was 149.2 after eating breakfast.

So far I haven't seen any hummingbirds, but I haven't spent a lot of time on the front porch either.

Have a wonderful day!!
 
Hi Anna,
Dropping in to say hi and see what your up to. Glad to see your getting around and doing some walking. Also glad to hear baby Regan is gaining weight. We had some clouds for a change and a little rain in the evening. It's supposed to rain tonight. I look forward to rain here like you look forward to sunshine there!

Hi BigLyn, thanks for dropping in,I am doing much better. I slept all day yesterday and last night. I have been taking a break the last two days, but will start again Monday. Where do you live?

We are having thunderstorms today, it looked almost dark out a few minutes ago. Baby Reagan is a month old today, I am going to try to download a picture of her as my avatar. I was spelling her name Reagan and then I noticed her dad spelled it Regan and now they are spelling it Reagan, don't know lol.

I hope everyone is doing well!
 
Hi Anna,
Baby Reagan is very cute and looks pretty good for as small as she was.

I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Yesterday I stayed in my pj's all day because it was raining and cold! Nothing wrong with me I was just being lazy.

I live in Arizona. North of Phoenix in the foothills. The area I'm in is surrounded by hills and to the north mountains. 2 sides of this area are next to the National forest. It's a desert forest but it's a lot more lush and green where I'm at. I have views out of all my windows of the hills and mountains. I live on 1 acre and the end of my street 1/2 mile away is where the forest begins. The other end of the street is also 1/2 mile away and that is where the mail boxes are. So each day I walk to the forest end first then on to my mail box and that gives me my 2 mile walk. This street is hilly. Although my street is paved there are no sidewalks or street lights out here. At night you can really see all the stars. I don't live directly on the paved street but down a privet drive along with 5 others houses. It's really nice here and the winters are great!
