Of So Tired This Weekend

I was so tired this weekend until just a few hours ago all I could do was sleep. I noticed last week I was having a lot pain in my body and I don't really know why. I haven't slep very well at night even with sleep medication. I think that took a toll on my by the end of the week.

It is cooler out today and the wind in blowing from the North. I didn't really spend any time outside, guess I should. I did good to get my wash done.

I am not feeling any pain now though.

I am going to post up a picture of myself soon. I just have to get one ready that really looks like I look. Then I will put up one like I used to look and come here every day to look at how much I have changed.

Have a good week and update you blog. You are special.

I Like Blogs Best

I have just started up a facebook page about a week ago and I have to say that blogging is a much better outlet for saying what is on one's mind.

I am more up today than I have been in a while and didn't stuff myself with sweets yesterday. Came home from work and mowed the lawn - that takes two hours. Even if it is a riding lawn mower, I know I get some exercise because my yard is so rough and all those trees to turn around that by the time I get through I am tired.

I am going to get back my determination to eat better. I am still exercising, but now doing enough weights. And, now doing enough yard work and it sure shows it.

And, I am not a cry baby either. I just get frustrated when I can't get what I want faster. I truly though if I put out a good effort I would lose more that 30 lbs. But I lost 30 and then just stopped. I think it is because I hate cooking. And, I hate chicken. I don't think a person can lose weight without eating lots of chicken. Yuck!

Trust me though - the Blue Bell Ice Cream diet doesn't work. Love ya!

Help!!!!!!!!!!

I have lost my grip on my eating and am gaining weight back. Is there any help for me????

Down and Almost Out

I haven't written on my blog in so long I don't know if anybody ever reads it any more. Life has been busy and my eating/exercising has really taken a toll. I still so to the elliptical and use it every weekday morning at 5:30 am, but my eating habits are terrible. Sugar, sugar, sugar, I have gained back six pounds at last look. I can't stand to look any more. I think I have developed an eating disorder. It was very upsetting and I have gotten to the point that it is not even that upsetting any more. Except for my clothes - I just can't grow back to that larger size pants.

But I have been feeling my age and frustration about just how long I will have to work, not that I want to quit work, maybe change the place I work in a year. But, I just get tired of doing what I do which is less and less like a school job and more and more like a federal gvt. job.

On the upside ---- well I really can't think of an upside right now. So whoever you are keep up the good work you are doing. And, I will keep putting one foot in front of the other.

You Can Always Learn

Not too long ago I figured out why God makes people want to live so long. I realized that it is not until you are in your fifties or older that most peolpe really figure out the true meaning to their existence (some never find it though)and decide to live right. Oh, some find that younger, but for most the younger years are the struggle and the older years are the realization of many truths. If you don't "get it" give yourself more time.

Think, read, ponder a few things. "It" might come to you.

Six Month Check Up Today

On a good note I went to the doctor for my six month blood pressure/blood work check up today. My blood pressure is down lower that it ever has been and even the doctor was impressed. It is strictly from my elliptical exercise, I know that.

I my falter and I may fail with my eating but I get up and do my areobic exercise almost every day early! I am proud of that. I am trying to put some added pressure on myself by changing some of the resistence settings on the elliptical. The doctor also gave me an injection in my right shoulder hoping it will cure my pain in the shoulder and right arm. Then I can do more free weights.

I must get my sugar craving and eating under control. I think I don't eat enough good food and it makes me crave sugar. Then I don't have a bite or two I binge and skip the good food.

I can't wait to get my blood results back and see if my cholestorol is down too.

Hey, to my brother, I think I had that same teacher for the first grade and I can't read worth crap either. If I don't know a word I just can't figure out how to pronounce it and mostly I just skip over it. I read a lot of books but I haven't read much the past couple of months. I think I need new glasses.

I did buy a good book not long ago, Fight Fat After Forty by Pamela Peeke, M.D., M.P.H. This book seems to be mostly for women though.

Keep the Faith!!!

Week Off Work

My work is shut down for a week and everybody has vacation. So I will see if I can control myself for a week and eat sensibly and get exercise too. I have some traveling to do. Going to Austin to see family and fireworks. That is if the rain we have been having stops. I will go anyway. Surely the fireworks will go on. It is a big deal in Austin!

I don't like to weigh on the weekend, but I think I will when I am home. So we will see if I can do what I need to do and maybe lose a pound of two by my next post.

Happy 4th of July America!!!! God bless our troups everywhere. Freedom reigns, but seems like just barely sometimes.
