ranchwoman

Start Weight:(02 Jan 08) 227.0 lb
Current Weight:(25 Aug 08) 216.0 lb
Goal Weight:175.0 lb
following: ranchwoman's own diet
performance: gaining 2.0 lb a week

I am a retired Naval Officer living on a small ranch in Montana. My children are grown and married. We have some livestock and my husband works for local ranchers. I have chickens and sell eggs and vegetables. I do a lot of crafts and volunteer work. We live 11 miles outside of a town with a population of 126. We love Montana. Losing weight is a problem because I do all the baking at home-nearest grocery store is 45 miles, nearest Walmart is 90 miles. There is not a public gym to go work out at. I try to walk not just for weight but for my asthma. I use a pedometer and really enjoy looking at how much I walk each day. My will power is terrible. I am 56 years old and need to lose weight because of high cholesterol and asthma. I am down 10 pounds since I started here. Have much more to go.

I SPENT MOST OF THE WEEK GROOMING MY DOG WITH TERRIBLE MATS. GOT THAT FINISHED. HEADING OUT TO THE GARDEN. I DIDN'T GET MUCH EXERCISE THIS PAST WEEK. I MUST GET RE-FOCUSED IF I AM GOING TO MEET MY GOAL. JUST RECEIVED THE SWEATER AND SKIRT I ORDERED FOR THE TRIP. LOOKS LOVELY ON. I NEED A VACATION.

Last nights meal probably put a pound back on but thats okay. Having fun is part of the mental health that keeps us going. I have posted my blueberry dessert in the kitchen It tastes a whole lot ritcher than the 282 calories per serving. And if made with fat free sour cream and splenda would be less calories. I can't participate in the stair challenge because there are no stairs around here that large. So I will try to do something else. 1/2 way there already. Wow. I have a long way to go but it is all in the trying.

A quote for the day:
Strength is the ability to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of those pieces.
