New Day, New Start

Hi everyone,

I know it has been a LONG time since I posted, but I am back on track. I will try to post daily I have started Weight Watchers and tonight is my second weigh in. I started at 257.6 and last Monday I was at 253.6. I lost 4 pounds!!!

So what I have decided to do is post my menu on here for the day and comment if they made me feel full or left me empty and also what that weight loss is for the week. Between that and daily exercise, I will be able to see where my good weeks vs bad weeks are and eventually eliminate the bad weeks.

Sound good? So look for my menu and daily activity to post soon and hopefully this blog will become big and inspire others to follow with me.

Lots of Love,
Angie =)

Blog on hold for now

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to let you know that I am going to put my blog on hold till after the new year. I am just so busy working that I don't have a lot of computer time till late at night and then I am super tired and can't focus to write.

So after the 1st of the new year, expect to see a lot of changes on here.

Thanks for understanding.

Sorry for not posting.

Just so you know. I was in the hospital over the weekend with chest pains. Wonder why .

Anyway, Dale is also sick with the H1N1 and Hunter has a sinus infection and probably the H1N1 also.

We are all taking Tamiflu to try and get ahead. For me, it is as a precaution.

Our water heater is also out. So no hot water. We bought a new one, but can't install it until Sunday.

So on Monday I will be back to daily blogging. I figure since that is the day we are all off quarantine basically and can go back to the gym, that is when I will start.

Thanks for understanding.

Oh what a couple of days!!

Sorry about yesterday. We had a HUGE storm blow through here. Basically what it boiled down to was that yesterday it was warm, and raining all day. Then the big storms rolled in, and it went from 81 degrees to about 55 to 60 degrees within an hour or two.

PLUS..............I went to Hunter's football game and sat in the cold, wet rain for over an hour. I was soaked. Luckily, I didn't get sick!! They finally called the game for postponement and we are gonna finish it next week.

Back to regular stuff. Been having a heavy feeling in my chest, and now I have had pain running down my left arm from basically shoulder to elbow. Not sure what that is all about. I am not thinking heart attack here, more like, sore muscles from working out maybe?

Well, our water heater went out, so I am gonna go and check prices online.

Btw.........if anyone is wondering why I am talking about personal stuff on a weight loss blog, I am hoping that maybe depending on the type of day I have, I can see a pattern in my eating and maybe find out where my food weakness versus food strength fall. If that made sense at all =)

Day 2

Not sure how I should post this.
Do I put down my feelings here and post my food journal on the side? Maybe that is best.

I am not hungry this morning and know that is bad, because I am suppose to eat breakfast. I guess I will go downstairs and have some dry oat cereal or something.

They say to eat six small meals a day. That doesn't seem like much, but in reality, it is so much harder to do.

I am also going to try and find a kickboxing class. I hear they are fun.

I am just rambling. Maybe I will have more to say later. I am sure over time, this is going to become very interesting. We will see!!

More Encouraging

I took a chance and told only the women in my life who I value as sisters and friends. I gave them the link to this blog. So far, the support has been wonderful!

I am so lucky to have found so many of my friends I grew up with on Facebook. I love them all dearly and the support and trust shows why all the ladies in my life are so special.

Thanks Ladies..........I LOVE YOU ALL!!
