nataliejo's diary: Moving, flowing, grooving forward... change is coming...

How do you like my new Avatar? Lemme know peeps! :)

Hey Frankie!
Its nice to see you! I shall visit your diary once I am done writing a journal entry! :)

Ok Everyone,
Well the guy from Gray ME, I am not interested in, because he is only interested in one thing and I am not... one night stands are not my thing!
A girl has to have her standards!

Anyway there is one guy... His full name is Gerald. What a great name, huh? I thought so. And his nic is Jerry. He is extremely nice. I told him I was keeping my short hair and he is cool with that. For once, a man who thinks of what a woman wants instead of being selfish. lol AND My hair cut with me of course! .lol ...is in my avatar, tell me what you think. I chose a green shirt to where in the pic, because its a festive green. Yea! I have another, even better, pic of me with the new hair cut and a new shirt I bought for the holidays ... I look pretty good for my weight! I am very happy. Alex and I are still friends, but I saw why I didn't stay with him last night. He came over to give me some medication I was missing, he had a store of it too. Klonopin, for anxiety. ITs an older bottle, but my doc never answered his page. and I have such anxiety with out it ... Sometimes I get snappy out of stress and anxiety...and I get fearful easily and paranoid from fear of being outside with people and my weight. So he brought it over, his store and I feel better about the holidays, because I don't have to go through withdrawals, which is the most horrible feeling with Klonopin or Geodon. The other meds aren't that bad, but these are hard core meds for my conditions. I do see a difference with out my diabetic meds ... so those are important too ... I am having a sugar problem today, but could it because I ate too much cake? YES!
I have gained two pounds back, but tomorrow I shall be good ...especially from now on ..not going to let the holiday make me wander off my goals and the treck and journey I am on, and resisting temptation is apart of the journey ...as well as enjoying walks, which I have not been doing ...
I AM DONE MY FINALS!!
I earned a B IN MACROECONOMICS!
AND I THINK I EARNED A ....B IN LITERATURE OR AN ...A! I AM SO THRILLED PEEPS ...

I SHALL HAVE TO MAKE IT ROUND TO EVERYONE'S JOURNALS!~

MY DARLINGS, AS MY GRAMMY WOULD HAVE SAID ..I AM SO EXCITED. I AM RETYPING MY BOOK I AM WRITING ...I AM ADDING CHAPTERS AND PLAYING WITH IDEAS TO ADD TO THE BOOK TO MAKE IT BETTER ...

MY HERO IS JRR TOKIEN, HAD A LORD OF THE RINGS, TWO TOWERS, AND RETURN OF THE KING... NIGHT BEFORE THE FINALS ...BAD ME! DID BUMP INTO TIME FOR FINALS ...BUT THEY ARE OVER AND I DID WELL ..

SO EXCITED ..PARTY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :party::party:

SO I HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING AS GOOD OR BETTER AS I AM!!
I LOVE YOU ALL

AND I HOPE MAL YOU VISIT ONCE AGAIN! I ALWAYS LOVE HEARING FROM EVERYBODY!!

Hello Nataliejo! I haven't posted in your diary before, but it's been very interesting reading your posts. You've done really well getting into a walking routine and working so hard on your weight-loss project at the same time as studying. Well done, and thanks for sharing your experiences :hurray:
 
:seeya: Hi NJ
WELL DONE on your exams, my friend! Sounds like your dedication is paying off with your studies. I think it is terribly exciting that you are writing a book, too! You ARE a busy gal with a bright future:coolgleamA:

Don't beat yourself up if your eating isn't the greatest these next couple of weeks. What can I say, other than this is not the best time of year to be trying to watch your weight! OMGosh, it is soooooooooo hard! Try and keep up with your walks, and do be aware of what you eat. AND ENJOY EVERY BITE!!! ;)

Well, I have to finish all of the packing for our big trip through the mountains tomorrow. We'll be gone for a few days, back after Christmas.

Have a great Christmas, and I pray that the New Year brings you every good thing!

Blessings,
Janice:hurray:
 
Hey hun,

I am glad to see that you're doing well in school! As for myself, Christmas Eve, and I find myself at the office- the only one here right now, but boy is it peaceful.

Happy holidays, lots of love to you, and remember not to pig out on too many of the goodies!! :D

Love,

Misty

Hey all,

So over the past three weeks I gained six pounds. But now have lost three, or almost three pounds.

So now I am at 292.2 pounds ..
so its 2 oz from three pounds, but gee I haven't been that low for a while ..like since before finals!

but My goal right now is 280 by April!
I think that is reasonable, as long as I give it as much as I can...
really do it!
and I am going to really try, instead of half-assing it ...

oh ..isn't that picture of me awful on Ringo ... I have a better one. I noticed when I smile, my cheeks are so bubbly ...or are bubbles ..and my chin pokes out a little .. I look like a chipmunk eating ... ugh :piggy:

bad holidays pic ..but I will put them up as documentation ..u know ..of the journey to a healthier me ..

ttylater all
love yas :party:

always
Natalie jo

btw .. I will get to all your diaries today and will go walking!

**hugs**
 
Once again!+

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas ..
and

I hope we all have a Happy New Year!

I made dinner tonight ...

Ham was cooked last night ..
had three slices...

I cooked sweet potato:
A large dopple, but half as much as I usually eat white potato..and I placed or mixed cinnamon in the sweet potato, because it helps lower blood sugar and it gives good flavor! It was good.

and I made two bags of frozen veggies. Which included: Asparagus, carrots, and corn. Its very good!

So I had tons of veggies... some potato ...well a little more than some, but half what I usually eat of white potato...and three small slices of ham ...

good stuff
did bad today however ..horribly actually! :iamwithstupid:My sister ..jk ...called me the pillsbury dough boy! icks! and than she poked my tummy and it jiggled ..
I called him minnie me... lol

Well it hurt at first ..but than I was like. ."u know ..what .. I do look like the pillsbury dough boy! I need to do something!"

So tomorrow, I will be eating well ..and cooking the same thing as tonight ...

but .. I shall do good!

love yas :driving:

Hi Natalie Jo

I just called by to wish you a happy new year.

Lots of vegetables was a good idea. I find that I often do not have any potatoes these days in roast meat dinners. I just pile the plate high in other vegetables and know that I am getting all sorts of nutrients for my calories - and all those nutrients seem to help me stay full of energy.

Dont worry too much about the pillsbury dough boy comment. We have all recieved hurtful comments and it is not nice. We know when we have issues and sometimes we are able to address them and sometimes we are not. I am pretty sure that we are both in the right frame of mind to address our issues and resolve our problems. It will take hard work but we are up to the task. 2008 will be the year that we will make some major changes.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
HIYA NJ

Pillsbury dough boy was a bit harsh but at least you can say not for long and your doing something about it! :)

Have a great new year
and i hope you contine to do well with your studies your book and your weight loss you have so much going on!!!

I haven't been walking much lately, been slacking. But picking it up tomorrow, when the snow plow clears off the side walk. We are getting eight inches or more all day and night and yesterday is snowed too ...we are getting so much snow.. it will be a joy to walk in the Winter Wonder land ..

Always
Natalie jo
Thanks for stopping in!!:party:
