Weigh In

After my birthday weekend I registered a 1/2 pound loss. Yippee! I have gone up and down so many times over the last month. ..I need to get focused again.My other good news is that Tom was here for several hours yesterday and we finished correcting our manuscript( for the third time), and we are almost ready to submit it to a publisher. We know how hard it is to get published but we are excited

Positive thinking, birthdays, and weight loss...

Happy Birthday to ME! Today is my birthday. I turned 44 and overall, in the whole sense of things, I feel great. I feel young and I feel like I'm at the best time in my life. Do I wish I weighed less? Sure, but it's a process and I'm just not there yet. I had a rough couple of weeks because of allergy problems and too much stress at work, but I feel like I can see the light at the end of

Weight Loss Motivation

Please let me know what you think...

Thanks to all who left a comment on my blog over the past few days. I appreciate the encouragement. The following however, was bit of a downer in my opinion..."Hey Candee, don't be so hard on yourself. The main thing is that you are back on track. A little discipline is all one needs."What do you all think of the statement, "a little discipline is all one needs," in regards to weight loss? I

Thoughts about weight loss

Have you ever felt like a hamster on an exercise wheel? That's how I feel minus the exercise wheel. I feel like I am going around and around, and not getting anywhere. My work schedule is still crazy but my allergies ARE improving. I ate well today but I have totally stopped writing down my food intake. When I look back at my blog to when I was having weight loss success...guess what? I

Weigh In

I weighed in today...I gained. I weighed in at 205...grrr. I have nobody to blame but myself.That's the bad news...the good news is that today I ate well and drank plenty of water. I am not going to beat myself up for gaining weight. I've been sick and stressed...those are the facts, however, I need to make sure that I don't keep slipping. I hope all is going well in your world of weight

Not Focused on Weight Loss...

Still sick... still overwhelmed at work.... and not focused on my weight loss. This has to stop. I worked too hard this summer to gain it all back. Starting tomorrow morning, I WILL focus on my own needs again. On a more positive note, my son came home from college on Friday night for a weekend visit. It was so wonderful to see him...I really miss him!

My weight loss statement for the day...

I want to lose weight so I can look and feel great in my clothing.

Still Sick...

Life is getting in the way...again...but I'm fighting back!This is the same allergy/ sinus stuff I had at the exact time last year. Last year's bout lasted on and off for about 5 months...it was ugly! I lost my voice several times, for a week each...I ran fevers, couldn't sleep, and I missed a lot of work. I'm so hoping the medication I'm on now will keep those symptoms at bay this time.

I'm sick~ugh!

Well speaking of "life getting in the way", I have been sick for a week now. I'm having severe problems with my sinus/allergies. I went to bed last night at 10:30, and if you can believe it, I slept straight through to 4:00 this afternoon! I guess I needed the sleep! I haven't really focused on my food intake the last few days (meaning, I'm not writing things down), but I am trying to make

Have You Noticed...

I'm sure you're like me and have read countless other weight loss blogs. Have you noticed, that many of these blogs tend to be extremely negative? Why do we become negative? I think the main reason is that sometime life gets in the way of our weight loss. When this starts to happen, we tend to lose focus and then things begin to feel hopeless, and hopelessness tends to lead to failure....does

Weigh In

I'm not going to win any prizes for the speed of my weight loss but I'll take it...every little bit lost is heading in the right direction!This week I lost another 1/2 pound...for a grand total of -19 1/2 lbs.I stayed after school today but the rest of the week is looking good! Yeah! I'm starting to see the "light at the end of the tunnel", and can see that my over time is just about over! Not
