Hey there Blogland!!!!!
Yet another day has come and gone. I think today was an ok day :)
I lost my pedometer at the grocery store this morning...... I am NOT happy about this .... trying to make up my mind if I want to buy a new one or wait till Monday and ask the fitness lady at work if I can have a new one (I am cheap so I will probably wait LOL)
But walking with the pedometer for 3 days had me stoked on how much I DO walk :)
Breakfast today:
3 biscuits
2 pork sausage patties
1 tsp lite butter

Lunch today:
1/2 cup potato salad
1/2 cup coleslaw
3/4 cup pinto beans
2 1/2 x 2 1/2 piece of cornbread
1 double vanilla icecream sandwich

Snacks today:
2 ritz crackers
2 mini 3 muskateers
1 pack of nutter butter cookies (4 cookies)
2 oz mozzeralla cheese
4 servings mixed fruit in natural juice

5 -16.9oz bottles of water

Today was our Company picnic I had to work so I did not go but they fed us picnic stuff for free today ....... so that is where my lunch came from :)
I know my eating was not that good today but on the other side of it all....... I stopped at 2 mini pieces of candy instead of eating ALOT more like I usually do. I stopped at one pack of cookies (instead of 2 that I could have had) and I stopped at 1 ice cream sandwich and not a pint of icecream I could have had....... so I am stoked to know I am starting to STOP the gordge eating
Have a great day and Keep on Keepin on :)

1/28 and 1/29/09

Morning all :)
It is still a bit chilly here in Central Texas :( But alot warmed then other places in the world so I guess that is a good thing :)
Wednesday found me being lazy, cozy and warm cuddled in the house and no exercise :(
But Thursday found me being cozy and warm but getting off my bum and movin a bit :)
Did 30 minutes on the treadmill yesterday for a total of 1.40 mile walking between 2.5 to 3.0 mile/hr.
My goal is to walk 3.0 to 3.5 mile a hour for a total of 1 hour a day. I will get to that goal by extending my time as I go ...... nothing big just extending it 5 minute increments as the weeks and months go by (with a minimum of 30 minutes to start with) The exercise part of being/livin healthy is something I have to work on a bit at a time. Because if I try to do it all at once then after a week or two I throw in the towel and say forget it ...... Do you ever have that problem?? An all or nothing attitude??
Eating and water have been good :)
Work is good :) I have this weekend off ..... Sunday will be sitting in front of the tv rootin on the Steelers to win the superbowl :)) GO STEELERS :))
Have a great day and just Keep on Keepin on :))

Monday Morning Sunshine!!!

Hello there Blog land...
Life is "truly" what I make it :)
We are all in control of our own destiny. Do we walk in faith and strive for a better tomorrow?
Or do we just sit back and worry about tomorrow, live in fear if there will be enough money left when we retire, worry over tomorrows when we have yet to LIVE today.
Well for me Today is today and I "need" to show up in Today and Live in today :)
I am on my 2nd (16.9oz) bottle of water. Fixing waffles (will eat 2) for breakfast/lunch ..... I am getting a late start today....... :) And for today I will ride on my exercise bike for 15 minutes ( I know I know 15 minutes is nothing but one needs to start somewhere right?) I am making beef and brocolli for diner..... I will take a turkey sandwich and pretzels with a light yogurt and some fruit for my diner at work :)) I will show up and live in today
Have a great Sunshiney Day

Making the Choices you Choose Work

Making the Choices you Choose Work!!!!!!!!

Have you ever really thought about that sentence?? Thought about what it means and what it means to make your choices really and truly work???
Well alot has been going on in my head these past few days.... am I focused..... I have said this over and over. But this time around I have been praying about it .... Asking God for guidance. I have a BIG problem in MY life...... that problem is I EAT my emoitions ........ja ja you read that right I did not get to be 350lbs or close to it again (have not been on a scale to verify it) my doing healthy things ......... I am eating a healthy breakfast and getting my water in and also have begun to be alot more attentive to my eating after work (late at night)......... But I eat when I am upset, fustrated, having problems in my personal life....... Eating is one thing I can control... I can eat when I get them feelings and no one at all can stop me........ I tell myself they dont care they dont understand what I am going through.... they dont love me...... I tell myself I am NOT worth anything better then to be belittled by them...... to take there attitude.... to let them get in my face cause their life is not right...... to let them cut me down any chance they get and I say to myself ok whatever you cant stop me from eating this ice cream or cookies so I eat the whole thing (1/2 galloon of ice cream or whole bag of cookies) and I cry inside while I eat cause eating is the one thing that always LOVES me no matter what ...... the one thing that is always there to make me feel good always...... food never cuts me down never tells me I am a piece of crude.... So I eat and eat and eat and emotionally feel better for the moment but the problems are still there the next time we (me and the person in my personal life) have words or problems again the same problems come back up and more problems on them and I eat and eat and say to myself who cares just eat and then why exercise it aint gonna help I wont stick with it..........
But last night Sept. 26th was a waking night for me........... I was looking back on my life and looking where I am in life now....... Last night was 8 years ago I divorced my first husband ..... it was the day I discovered that I was worth more then a child molesting husband... that I was worth more then wondereding if or when he was gonna molest again.... and I have never looked back to that life again..... I got with a guy that was NO good for me..... but finally 2 years after that I got away from him and seen that I was ok alone.... that I could live and LOVE myself ..... then I met a great guy (in alot of ways) and we have a little guy that is awesome.... my world he is...... but me and my dear hubby have trouble as I am sure almost every couple have...... I am in college part time (have to take classes at the school cant be done online) I work 2nd shift he works dayshift .... we have little "family" time together..... we are both unhealthy over weight....and we come from two different moral valves ways of being raised..... but we honestly love each other deep inside..... but I let things be said and let my feelings get hurt and then I eat and eat.... and I let him make me feel like I am no one..... but last night as I was thinking back on life....... I asked God to show me what I need to do at this point in my life........ in my heart I feel he is showing me to get real with my emotions that he will be there to help me through this.... that he gave me another chance at life.... afer guided the doctors to do emergancy surgery and get the cancer out of my body (even though ever test we did in the months prior to emergancy surgery came back NO cancer at all) He has given me a new lease on life and is showing me that I am worth more then to be cut down and made to feel back and like I am no good (he doesnt do this all the time but it is atleast one remark a week) ..... so......
It's time (thanks Ang for your blog and letting me see them words) to take FULL charge of MY life and to live it the way God has ment for me too live...... Not being someones verbal punching bag not to let someone make me feel so bad that I turn to food to escape..... I need food to LIVE not to HIDE behind.....
So this is a new life and a new me..... I am NOT looking back any more........ Sept.26th 2008 is my day to a new life inside and out........ digging through emotions ......dealing with emotions between hubby and I as they happen...... this is it ........ thank you God for never givin up on me and for being the ONE sted fast thing in my life...... I have a long life to live and am Going to LIVE STRONG..... with Courage, Belief, Faith and LOVE

Thank you for another awesome day

tuesday and rollin along

Good Day !!!!! I hope this day continues to shine and be awesome...... I am recording my breakfast intake this week..... Breakfast was 1 serving (24 small biscuits) shredded wheat = 190 calories..... 8oz skim milk = 45 calories and a kashi breakfast bar (ate on the way home from school) = 140 calories for a total of 375 calories which is a far cry better then yesterday..... think I need to leave them hostess dingdongs alone LOL I am on my 3rd 16.9oz bottle of water :))
School is going good we have our first test in my fundamentals class on thursday WOOHOO
I will be going back to work this afternoon after a long 3 day weekend ......
Do you ever stop and really think what life means to you really MEANS ...... how many times do we put others needs and even there wants before our own needs ??? How often do you just run through life and not take time to really enjoy it ??? Just some things to think about ...... I do believe I will be thinking deeply a bit today
Have a great day and ROCK ON
