Hi *blushes*

Hey guys ...

Sorry its been so long since I posted. It's been a crazy week. Anyway. Hope everyone is doing well. I would first like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN (tomorrow)!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) I am on time this year! You should have already got somethin in the mailllllll.. hee hee.

I have been doing a lot of reflecting about the gym and food and what/how I want to work it. Nothing seems to work for me. I have lost inches but not much weight. Now my inches have slowed down to losing nothing or gaining inches. I expected to gain a little bit of the inches when I started developing muscles or being more fit. It is still discouraging.

I think part of my problem is food. I have changed a lot about my food. Here are the things I have changed:

I don't sit and eat at night while on the computer. That was a major change for me. It was a habit that has been hard to break. I still get figity and start looking for something to eat. If I get that way and get too figity I have been just grabbing a handful of Cheerios and eating them and it seems to work.

I eat at work instead of going out. We may go out once a week or we may not.

I eat breakfast every morning. I was not eating before. If I did eat it was because someone brought in donuts or something. Now I eat eggs and toast or toast, peanut butter and banana or just plain toast. But I do eat something every morning.

I have not been eating out as much for supper. Although we have this week.

I have cut out sweets a BUNCH. I used to eat them all the time. Now if I have something sweet it is a mini candy bar or something healthier- like we made a "Eat Right America" recipe made with strawberrys and bananas- it was a tart. Last night I had cheesecake but that hasnt been happening. I have been skipping desert altogether.

What I haven't done that I could/should be doing concerning food:

Cut portion sizes down

Make healthier choices

Start eating different foods when eating out. Try different things that will deal with my metabolism differently

No eating after 8:00 regardless of how "figity" I get! *lol*


Well thats about it for the food issue. I have a lot to write and will do so tonight. I want to go to the doctor and get a complete physical so that I know what I am dealing with and how hard I can push myself. I want to do a week of writing everything down so I can show the dr- SO I will write more on this later.

Love and Hugs,
me
