Hello All!

A little about myself. I lost about 100 over a long period of time in about 6 years ago. Recently I had some devastating events happen in my life, (at least devastating to me!) and in about a years time, I gained 30 lbs. in total.

I am ready to try to lose it again. But I have to do it my way and I have to fight. This time the weight loss has a different meaning to me because I am older now and life has changed a lot. So, for my OWN satisfaction I will lose it. So.... I am on my way.

I'm going to try to post daily so that I can focus on this project.

My goal is to lose 30 lbs not only for vanity reasons but because of other health factors that make it increasingly harder to walk.

Here is my plan:

1 vegetable drink in the morning

A light mid morning snack

Lunch

1 vegetable drink in the evening or light dinner.

My biggest meal will be at lunch time.


My goal is to stop eating by five pm. This worked wonders for me in the past and I am counting on it working again.

Exercise will be at least 30 min per day 4 to 5 times per week


Today, started doing 4 glasses of water in morning 4 glasses in evening 2 in between. This is a challenge for me because I don't like drinking water because I feel like I have to use the bathroom ALL day. Sometimes it can be so disruptive but of course it is very necessary.
My first weigh in will be posted TOMORROW. I should have weighed in earlier because I just came back from VACATION! OH OH:eek:
 
Weigh in was 161.5

I guess going on vacation gave me a few more lbs to play with. NO EXCUSES THAT IS WHERE I AM.

Went to gym yesterday and today and walked back home.
both days did treadmill and yesterday did weights.

ok on my way.....
:hurray:
 
Still fighting!! Yesterday went to gym did my work out and walked back. Nothing major. Today I did my walk around the community two times since I woke up late and could not get to the gym. I like the very brisk walks but seems to not be as effective as a good workout at the gym. AND YES THE WALKS ARE BRISK! I am losing focus on the green juices in the morning. I really have to focus on that much more. I am confident a change will come soon.:party:
 
Today's weigh in leaves me at 157.5lbs
Its not bad especially since it was TTOTM.
Ok, I'm looking forward to next Monday.
EVERYTIME I reach my goal. I'm going to reward myself with a little gift.
My first gift for myself will be to try to fit in the item at the store that I tried on before that did not fit right. Ill buy it or, just feel great that I am closer to fitting into it.
I have been eyeing this absolutely beautiful blouse. Its yellow, flowing and summery. Can't wait.


 
Went to gym this morning and the walk home was outstanding, not too hot not too cold got a chance to see the sun rise high which is an awesome thing that I usually miss out on because I'm always rushing to get ready for work. Its amazing what time and standing still can do!!! LOVED IT. Working hard on my green drinks. They really work wonders.
 
Early start today. Gym and normal routine. Working on drinking enough water for the day.
Green drinks are coming along better. Once TTOTM is gone, I'll be delighted. check in again soon.
 
Hey everybody, I am new to this forum- I would like to say a big thanks to every member of this great forum for being here.....
 
OH NO!!! Went to a few outings and got way off track. Determination is still high ready to start anew. NEVER GIVING UP.
 
That's ok :) Try to write in your diary regularly as it helps you to get on track. I often think of my WLF friends when I think about eating something I shouldn't. Determination is very important. You can do this :)
 
Ok.
Today starts off well. Eating what I am suppose to eat on this warm cloudy day. Going out for a brisk walk in a few minutes and off to work! One thing that reminds me to get on track is the many people my age who are walking up and down the street with so much pain. They struggle to walk and... just moving seems to be a chore. My heart bleeds for them but that can be me and just because of growing older I have my OWN growing pains. Carrying extra pounds does not help. OK so.... MOVING ON .....
 
Went to the gym early yesterday and today. This week I have a goal of at least burning 400 calories and doing my weight training various parts of the body. I'm working on the water though.....:willy_nilly:
