Actually its against the law to pick anything up in the mtns, including wild flowers ... your not allowed to take anything of it ...

My mom use to steal flowers ...and now we have a garden of beautiful wild flowers in the front and they come up every single year ..she doesnt even water them ..they just do good on themselves ...lol its funny as hell ... but that was before the ban ...but she knows every flower there is to know ..including wild flowers ..and birds ..she knows every kind of bird ... we had a hawk in the neighborhood a couple years ..including winter ...he tried to feed on the squirells and little birds ..but mom was very protecting of the animals in the back yard ... we had a humming bird in the yard today ...taking sips of his juice while we were standing and sitting there ...a robin just walks around the yard with us in the yard ..they are so used to us ..lmao

the squirells were fighting over the bird feeder one day ..and sometimes the birds fight with the squirells ..we have two cats and one beagle .. nine weeks old that live next door and the cats have given up just about on catching the animals ..lol too funny ..they climb the fence and sit uncomfortably on the fence ..just waiting ...but the animals are too damn smart! lol than the cat will fall off the fence .. lol

but anyway ... my friend ..lol did pick the blueberries ...but I didn't let him pick the other berries, which might have been poisness ... but he did pick ..and made me eat a couple ... they were good ..damn good ..
and than he had a unripe black berry ...lol ... he didn't like it too much! lol
but it was loads of fun, but my arthritis is acting up really bad ... I wasn't able to bend my leg very easily ...my knee is killing me ..it is so hard walking up stairs .. I can't even press on it with out pain ..and if I squeeze it ... ouch!

but I have to keep the fan off during the night hours , it is so cold up here at night ..in the sixties or lower seventies ... cool summer ...but going to be in the nineties wed .. I don't know what I am going to do for exercise .. I wouldn't dare go outside ...but I might anyway for a twenty minute walk ..at least its something ..and my small shorts don't ride up when I walk! and I am down to a size 24 ... instead of the size 26 I was in ...and four months ago I was pushing to a 28 ...but now I am a good 24 .. so I bought two new jean capris ..for sept and part of october and I bought a skirt ..cute jean skirt with fabric lining on it ...go well with the blue shirt I bought with butterflies and mettalic painting on it ... not one of those awful shirts that are kind of messy and nice top with a cut in the neck area down to ..well the ladies on my chest! I think I will wear it on my first date with this guy ... if he ever talks with me again! lol he hasn't said a word to me all day, inbetween me cleaning the house ..finally have my room getting tidy ..carried things down to the bins in the basement ..they are collectibles ...

but anyway ttylater folks

going for a walk tomorrow following being at the library ..should be nice ... wed will be and ugh day!

I hiked once in New Mexico...but got altitude sickness and passed out...not exactly pleasant! I stay on flat ground now...but I am glad your hike was awesome!!
 
Hola Nat,

So nice to hear from you. Sounds like you've been quite the adventurer. I hiked in Fiji once and the experience was soooo empowering- I never sweat so much in all my life but it was totally worth it. I can imagine you felt like I did!

Yayyy, new clothes, doesn't it feel great to be buying a size 24 now? I've been going to the gym, been about 4 days straight now- hopefully I'll see results soon.

Btw, hope your artheritis doesn't get too bad!

Hugs and kisses,
Misty
 
Too bad it's illegal to pick the berries. Personally, I don't like picking berries, but the rest of my family love it. And I enjoy the product of their hard work. :p
New clothes in a new size! Sweet! It's comforting to see those kind of results.

Wow Nat, you're doin' great! I'm sorry I haven't checked in to see how you're doing. Sounds like all is well and I'm really glad to hear it.

Hi Natalie,

I just wanted to stop by and say hi!
I'm glad to see that your doing well.. hiking with your friend, eating well, and getting walks in...

Joining the gym before the winter is a great idea:)

I've been played by a player, on yahoo personals. At first I just wanted to do it to see if people would look at my profile and be interested in chatting. Than what I thought was a nice guy writes me and gives me his email address and his yahoo ID ..
I feel like such an idiot. We made a tentative date for tomorrow night, but I have gotten no response from him whether he is interested ..and get this
it shows him to be online, but he is invisible in the screen, but it says on yahoo personals he is there everyday ..every twenty-four hours and he is online right now. But in the page where you can message he is offline ...so he is on invisible.
I feel like such a dufus. And I haven't been exercising, other than the hike. I walked for forty-five minutes today and I can't seem to get it out of my head I will never be good enough for anyone. Or no one will ever meet up to what I want in a guy. Why do I even bother? Now thats a stupid question. ugh
but I have gained almost five pounds back, that is a big gain. I have to change my ticker now ... ugh ... I am in such shambles ... MEN ugh!

ttylater folks ..

Awww Natalie, you don't need him! And of course you're good enough. You're wonderful and smart!
I wouldn't worry so much about the weight gain if it was sudden. Its probably just stress + water retention. Be sure to drink plenty of water.

:hug2:

If he's gonna treat you like that before you ever met up then he's not worth your time. I know that it doesn't relieve the frustration from him being a giant ASS:mad: ... but at least you know before you actually met him and wasted anymore time on him.

45 minutes for a walk today is exercise!
I hope you start to feel better soon... if theres anything I can do to help lemme know.

I am soooo overweight... 296....
I can't seem to win ... I just ... I don't know .. I feel hopeless in a way ..
I am going to get out and walk tomorrow morning, but this time with my long shorts ...
I am letting my ex come over Saturday ...sometimes he cheers me up ...when he is here anyway ..
but he can be a real cynical imp .. oh well

Hey Natalie,

Sorry to hear this new relationship went sour. Eh, stay away from online dating sites for a while. Focus on yourself for a while, because that's what's most important. You are priority. Time to get back up on the bandwagon and prove to yourself (and everyone else) that you're determined to lose the weight.

We all have our setbacks. We lose and then gain and then lose. This is just a small setback, don't worry or beat yourself up about it. We all slip, humans aren't perfect. Hell, I slipped up yesterday with my diet.


Keep up the awesome work Natalie. Take it a day at a time beautiful!

p.s. And yes, you will find the man of your dreams - perhaps when you least expect!
 
Natalie Jo, we would all miss you terribly if you were not around! And anyone else should feel that way, too. If they don't, they aren't worth your time!
 
Ok everyone,
I haven't been here much, because I have been slipping big time .. I gained five pounds back ... or something like that ...
but I have lost two ...
I took a forty five minute walk yesterday and feel better for it ..it was hard in the heat ... but I am going to wear LONG shorts so my legs don't rub together ... and I am going to take a long walk around eight to nine am in the morning .. going to get up around seven thirty to eight ..take a nice cold shower and prepare for my small hike around the city and get my water ready ..and out I am going to go ...

ate too much fruit today ..had one sandwich ..that was it ..good for me

had two cups of choco milk ..bad me!

but over all getting back on the wagon .. I have decided this is the place to be people ..
love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!
hugs
natalie jo
 
Its great that your getting back on the wagon:)

I hope you enjoy your work in the morning... I always love exercise better in the morning... makes the whole day better!

Hugs
~Jenna
 
Way to go Nat! Remember, we're all here with you.

Patience and hard work. We'll get there. We'll get there.

Hey, the chocolate milk could have been worse (like soda), so at least milk has nutritional value!!

Be well, Natalie Jo.
 
I dont know what to do guys!
I can't seem to motivate myself to move! I did nothing but sit, although a guy told me he wouldnt date me ... because we weren't communicating right ... oh well ...he has no land line phone supposedly ...women! WE all know what that means ..he must have someone at home ..who shouldnt or should know about his activites.. hmm...


Anyway back to the life change

so the diet is going ............... horrible! ..there like is virtually no diet ...
my sugar is getting out of control ..my eyes are getting caked on ..I am ..so icks...
I am not pmsing .. I swear .. I have poly cystic ovar disease ..have too much testosterone ..

so I went up in poundage ..don't know how much, because I havent checked, but I am going to start coming on here everyday recording the exercise I do and how I am feeling ..because I really need to do this and do this for me .. I need to get myself revamped ..and going ...back on the band wagon ..oy vey ..or I am going to gain all that I have lost so far ... oy vey

ok ..calming down ...
now that I am single once again ..
I will just focus on myself ... I am going to stay single until I lose all the weight ..because every time I am with someone I gain about fifty pounds ...dont ask me how ... but I DO! So no man until no weight! goal ...

goal weight 290 pounds by sept fifth ... ok

lowered my goal .. I will make my ticker reflect my goal ..maybe I felt overwhelmed when I added fifty pounds to my weight loss goal ..need to do it in little increments ..ugh ... still down a size although ...need to stay down now ...
I will!!!

thanks guys for writing in my diary even though I have been MIA ..missing in action .. :)
love yas

I wouldn't worry too much about this. I haven't had a land line in about 4 years and most of my friends don't have them either. Its just so much easier to pay 1 cell-phone bill instead of both land line and cell.

Remember, stress = weight gain (at least it does for me).

If you're having trouble being active, I think we can work out something for you. Like, match walking distance or biking distance. I'll be happy to do it! Just let me know if you need help.
