Off to a great start!

Today, so far I have walked 2 1/2 miles, read my daily meditation, called my sponsor and made cranberry walnut oatmeal for breakfast and planned out my food for the day.(SERF) It is 79 degrees now, so I wanted to get my exercise in before it was too hot for me.

I do hope to get a little housework done today.(We'll see!!)

Yesterday was a pretty good day also, I walked 3.3 miles, went to Barnes and Nobles with hubby and went to my OA meeting.

At night we watched two movies - "Get Out Your Handkerchief" and "Burn After Reading". The first was a French film which has totally different sensibilities -- although it did make me laugh. The second was a rather dark comedy - I am always on the fence about that type of comedy.

Still losing weight!

Image
 Well, I can't believe it is almost August 2019.  My weight loss is continuing and I am still pretty active.  I walk daily, ride a stationary bike several times a week, and use the gym and heated pool at Therafit twice a week.  I eat 3 weighed and measured meals a day containing no flour, sugar, wheat, or artificial sweeteners of any kind.  I drink water, or decaf coffee and tea inbetween. I also work part-time and enjoy visiting family in Florida and California. The reason I don't blog much is because I am so busy.  Also, because I don't get any feedback, I figure no one pays attention.  With all the emphasis on diets and healthy eating I am surprised that no one makes comments. I just looked at my first blog.  I said that I had lost 62 lbs.  As of today, I have lost another 45 lbs, bringing my total weight loss up to 107 lbs!!! Now, I just read another of my previous posts.   I walk 3 miles most days (yesterday on walked...

Advice not wanted

I am spending the morning somewhat frustrated. I read a question at ObesityHelp where the person was wondering why they were not losing weight faster. They had read about another person who was exercising excessively and eating about 400 calories per day which seemed to be dangerous. This person was walking every day. These questions don't seem to be any different than those I ask myself. I used to weight 280 lbs. When I first went on a lower calories/ healthier diet I lost about 50 lbs pretty quickly. Since then I have been slowly losing, with some bumps of regaining a little weight. The problem with people following other people is that the information just isn't accurate enough. We don't take into consideration age, activity level, medications, height, body type, etc. I know that I bristle every time someone tells me that I am eating more than I think I do, because I am pretty fastidious about weighing, measuring and keeping track of what I eat, but I am still not...

The First Day

Blogging seems like a fun thing to do, so I thought I would try it. I never seem to have time to contact all the friends I would like to, so maybe they will look at my blog. Who knows? I am always struggling with my weight, so maybe my journey of weight loss will be of interest to someone else. As of today I have lost 62 lbs and want to keep going. I have also changed careers a couple of times -- maybe that is interesting?? Over the years I raised a family, sold Avon Products, developed software and most recently started a career as a high school math teacher. I have several hobbies -- computer games, genealogy, drawing, painting, sewing, and crocheting to name a few.
