Cold in Texas

I guess some people think it doesn't get cold in Texas, but it is cold this weekend at my house. It is around freezing now at 7 pm and has been a cold weekend. I drove to Houston this weekend to see some family and toddler sat with two of my grandchildren for awhile Saturday evening. Life doesn't get any better than being loved by a three year old. See they don't have to love you, they just do it because you are you.

I haven't stayed on my eating routine this weekend too well, by weigh in day is tomorrow so I will how my week totals up after I do my ellipical exercise tomorrow morning around 5:45 am. I will get back with you then and I promise to tell the truth about how many pounds I lost this weekend.

I do regret that I didn't name my blog "life is difficult - believe" though and I may change it. I guess it wouldn't matter too much if I changed the name because I don't have very many followers yet anyway. I will keep you posted. Good night!! Blessings.....

Still rolling along

I am still rolling along with my program to change my life one pound at a time. But, I think I should have called my blog life is difficult - believe. I wonder if I can change the name? I know nothing about blogging and I guess you can see that by the number of followers I have so far.

But, that is OK. This week I am not really hungry and so I have to make myself eat those between meal mini meals I need to eat to keep my metabolim up. Also, this week I find myself thinking during the day about some foods that would sure taste good. But, I haven't cheated this week.

It is just an amazing thing no matter how bad you have let your body get out of shape and twice the size it should be to experience how quickly it will jump into high gear with some serious exercise. If you can't do but five minutes of something then just start there and your body will get a little stronger every day that you really use it.

Later from the lady bestowed with blessings. KL

Being Thankful

I am so very thankful for the Lord blessed me with a phenomenal 10 pound loss last week!!!!!! Is that unbelievable or what?

I think that He figured that if I didn't lose much I might quit and so He would bless me with a great loss of weight the first week as a message to keep going. So I am, and I was anyway even if I had lost only 2 pounds, going to keep going on this trip to my goal weight.

Thank you Lord.

Believing for a Great Week

Hey, I have my first follower! Wow, that is great, thanks. The weekend was good and not so good. I stayed on my plan farely well for the ultimate goal of weight loss. Sunday I exercised and then went to buy groceries and was weak at the grocery store and bought good stuff like fruit, but also bought some sugar and ate that as soon as I got home. So to compensate I ate real light in the evening. So I am not real upset because I had a good week all in all with my eating and exercise.

I am planning an getting on that elliptical in just about fifteen minutes and start up my day. Then work all week. I eat better at work because all I have is what I brought to eat. I refuse to do any more fast food. I didn't do that too much anyway, but even one day a week is just a pile of junk going into the system and most of the time with more calories you need for an entire day or maybe two.

I slept well the last two nights and for that I am grateful because Monday through Friday of last week I didn't sleep well at all. I think my system thought it had been cheated of enough food and tried to stay awake so I would get up and go eat something in the middle of the night. I didn't give in.

I am thinking of starting flower seeds to plant in my little garden spots in my yard for the spring now and hope to start that project soon.

Never forget to make prayer part of your weight lose system. When a bad time comes and you think that you will just be hugh the rest of your life go walk or just go outside and pray for support. It is a diffuclt undertaking to change a lifestyle, I know since I am just starting, but I am here for you and hope you are here for me.

Have a wonderful week and if you would like me to put you on my weight lose prayer list then just let me know.

Blessing.......

Setting out to loss extra weight

I am going to post to the world, I doubt that anyone will read my post, that I am setting out to lose a lot of weight. I started on 1/18/10. I am really following my brother's successful weight loss lead. But, unforturately today I have gotten up too late to do my scheduled morning ellictical exercise. Ugh, not good, huh? This will not be the beginning of the end. I vow to get out in the yard after work today and haul some rocks to make it up. Yes, I said haul some rocks.

I have 3/4 of a load of concrete rocks behind my storage shed and I shovel the into a little trailer about 40 scoops at a time into the trailer which is attached to my John Deere riding mower. I drive them around to the gravel driveway or some other place I need to fill in with rocks and shovel and dump them out. It is hard for a old lady like me. But, a very fast work out. Last time I did it I made four trailer loads before I wore out and had to put the mower up.

Maybe I will cut down some weeds too. It is warm compared to what it has been and already weeds at starting to grow.

Well, if anybody reads this, then I say hello and welcome. I hope for support for my weight loss trip. It will be a trip!
