Day 5
Easy day. Too easy. Every thing went smooth. Didn't eat too many calories during the early part so I was able to enjoy the food at the Club cookout tonight. Sadly though.... it was a bit of a disappointment. Wasn't as much yummy food as usual. I added my dinner menu as closely as I could match it up. There was the typical hamburgers and hot dogs, a couple different macaroni salads, baked beans, a pecan pie and a couple apple pies. Usually our group puts on a feast you'd see on the tables of Royalty. However I must tell you.... there was a chocolate cake I tried to ignore it's existence at all. It looked like it belonged on the cover of a Woman's Day magazine. OMG it was beautiful! Ellie, one of the girls from the club was a caterer and that girl brings some of the most decadent cakes and pastries. I cleaned up the last couple bites off Pete's plate and.... my eyes rolled back into my head, my mouth was in heaven and I moaned! When I floated back down to earth.... all I could say was, "SINFUL... she loaded that cake with pure delicious SIN. And she has no shamed about it either. SINFUL!" When I complemented her on her desert she replies so easily, (get this) "It's sugar free." My tongue was so totally deceived. So I packaged up a lovely helping of SINFUL Cake. I have no idea how many calories are in it. Sugar free does not mean no calories, but .... but .... but it's sugar free. I've got to get the recipe!
As for my goal for today.... yes I worked out my arms! Bench Presses and Arm Curls.
Tomorrow's Goal
Walk the treadmill :o)

Day 4
Today was a good day. I accomplished my goal! Yeaaaaa! I feel so much better. The muscles along my shins were hurting so bad until I learned how to stretch them correctly. When I was shopping I talked with a friend, Mike, he's in training for UFC. I mentioned the pain in my shins and he told me to walk backwards on my tippy toes. He was a God send! I think my legs and I can live with each other tonight. If I shaved it would be even better. LOL
Pete showed me some things on the Bowflex. I did
4 sets of 15 Leg Presses
4 sets of 15 Crunches
I wanted to do more but our new neighbors came over.
I wrote my lil' sister and told her what I'm doing. She's 6 years younger than me, never had kids (so no stretch marks), is gorgeous and has never been fat a day in her life. BITCH! LOL Nah.... I love her and am so proud of her. She lives in Cali, where we were born and raised. Has a great boyfriend and tries to be the best step-mom to his 2 kids. She was a personal trainer for years. Now she's working at a swanky medical-spa (Dermatology) in Beverly Hills. A place where the rich and famous go for their Botox, chemical peels, dermabrasions and follow-up treatment for face lifts and nose jobs. She's a license medical massage therapist. This week she saw Kate Beckinsale without make-up... says she's flawless. (I don't know what she was there for) She's seen countless of the "who's who" Any how... now that she knows I'm trying to loose weight, she'll give me some tips and I know she'll support me. So now there is one person in my family that knows what I'm doing.
Tomorrow we have a cookout with the U.S. Military Vets Motorcycle Club. We meet up every Friday for food and to hang out. AND.... Cole is going to spend the night. I'm looking forward to that. He hasn't spent the night since he started school.
Tomorrow's Goal
I want to work out my arms :o)

Day 3
MIGRAINE.... need I say more? My day started with a F#@%ing migraine. Unfortunately this is not a rare thing for me. I suffer from migraines frequently. Have since I was a child. And with my body sore from needing to stretch and workout made for a miserable morning. The thought of walking on the treadmill with my head pounding with every heartbeat made me want to cry. So needless to say my goal of walking was a flop.
Food didn't touch my lips until noon. I can't eat with them things. So noon is really when my day started. My headache had calmed to a dull ache by then. I had to become alive because I had already committed to watching my grandbabies a few hours for Malori.
Malori is my second daughter. She's 24, has an awesome firefighter husband, Tommie, and my two grandsons. Cole is 5 yrs and in kindergarten. And Brady is 21 months. She went to the Ocala Oncology Center to donate her time and skill of hair design by putting PINK hair extensions on anyone that wanted to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For a donation of $10 which she gives to the Cancer Fund at the center. I'm really proud of her. She had 20 women want the pink ribbon of hair to show their support. She plans on going back next Monday to do more. I'm getting mine tomorrow or Friday. Just didn't feel up to it today.
So.... thankfully my head felt better when Brady and Hayden (my 2 year old granddaughter by my oldest daughter Linnea, which Malori has been babysitting. I'll share my family in my bio later when I have time to add it) Having a 2 year old and a 21 month old in a room is sort of like opening the windows during a hurricane! These two are only 6 months apart so they are much like having twins and I don't know how people with twins cope. I love them so much words can't describe, but I prefer to have them one at a time! LOL
1 is a delight. 2 is a fright!
They are a two man'd wrecking crew! What one doesn't think to do the other does and it's all about curiosity! After having them for half the day yesterday and the morning I had.... well Nonni wasn't my usual playful self. So we sat in Nonni's Big chair, read, watched tv and played "What's That?" (or at least I sat) for the couple hours I had them.
This evening I felt much better in the head, but my body is screaming sore! I have to workout tomorrow! I have to! I have to stretch and walk and Pete really wants to show me a couple things on the Bowflex. So I'm going to let him, which will make him so happy. Even though I haven't told him about this site, about my calorie counting or anything about my commitment to loosing this weight and getting healthier, he always wants me to workout with him. Or at least sit out there and watch him. He is happy with me just the way I am. If I even mention that I want to loose weight he spouts out, "Hunny you don't need to. I love you just the way you are. Don't go planning on getting skinny, you know I don't like skinny girls." Well.... there is a long way between me now and me skinny.... LOL He'll adjust over time since this isn't gonna happen over night. (Damn it!) I love that he loves me the way I am, but I'm not happy with the way I am. I want to be able to share clothes with my daughters again!!
:o)
Tomorrow's Goal
STRETCH and WALK!

Day 2
I had a tough time getting going this morning. Was up too late. Like I am again tonight. LOL But come noon I was as a busy bee working in my yard. The sunshine was gorgeous and the breeze was a delicious treat for my sweaty face. And my flower bed is all dressed up for Autumn with delightful yellow Gerber Daisies and wine colored mums. ;o)
As for meeting my goals for today.... well....
I didn't get to the store so therefore I didn't accomplish #1 :o(
I did a great job at goal #2 :o) Kept my ass off the couch, chair, bed and kept busy with my grandbabies, the garden (like I said) and doing housework. I'm very proud of myself for this.
Now for #3 I realize now that it contradict goal #2 and so I didn't sit down to search the web. LOL What a quandary!
Tomorrow's Goal
1. I am going to hit the treadmill again. I need to because as today went on my legs muscles became more and more sore. It's a good sore, the kind that lets you know you did something right. I want to walk for a minimum of 30 minutes but shoot for 45-60 minutes.
2. To shop for veggies and lean meats. And snacks!
3. And again I'm going to try to make time for searching to find a Bowflex workout. LOL I might just let Pete show me a few exercises.
Good night :o)

Day 1
I woke up with energy and excitement to start this new journey. Ate my one of my favorite breakfast (steel cut oats w/flax seeds) a fat free mandrine orange yogurt and water. Doesn't sound like much, but I find that it's a meal that sticks with me. I was so exciting to record everything. Even more so when I see that Publix Market is already supported in here. Make recording my menu so much fun.
My excitement held all day. I got on the tread mill just as I had set my goal. Walked at a pace of 3-4 miles per hour for 40 minutes. More than I had said because I was actually singing along to the music and rockin' it out.
Then it was off to pick up Cole, my grandson from kindergarten and spend special time with him. I'll treasure his face when he saw me in the car line. He has been wanting me to pick him up since school started and this was my first time. And so on the first day of my life changing routine (not wanting to call this a diet) we headed to his favorite place. Yup yup yup.... every kids favorite place.... McDonald's! Blaaaawck! So my lunch consisted of a small cheeseburger and half of a small fry. I have had enough McD's to last me a life time and I really don't like to eat there. But.... how could I deny his sweet freckly face? :)
Afterwards we went shopping for a few things I needed to pick up at Staples and then to Walmart for some fall flowers to put in the flowerbeds tomorrow.
Dinner was hurried and I hate when it's like that, but I was running late. I try to have dinner on the table no later than 6:30. And with the day light savings time coming to an end I want to start having dinner by 6:00 at the latest. Tonight I was eating during DWTS (8pm). Which means I'm doing dishes on the commercials. That just spoils it for me! LOL I had a Breakfast Scramble for dinner. Some sliced potatoes, fresh spinach, one sausage link diced up and a small amt of cheese all scrambled up with 2 eggs and 1 piece of oatmeal bread toast with the slightest hint of butter. LOL.... I can NOT cut out the butter! That would be a sin towards my Grandma and my tongue.
I downed the water! Lots and lots of water. Drank 1 liter while walking. And filled my 16 oz bottle 6 times.
So.... I think that holds me to my goals!! I did it!! Yeeeaaah!
Tomorrow's goal
1. Spend time to really figuring out what to eat for the week.
2. Stay active and not sit around watching TV. Plant the flowers in the yard and keep my butt off the couch. I'm not going to plan to walk because I think it's best to do cardio one day and then weight workout the next and then back to cardio. However I don't know how to really workout on the Bowflex. SOooooo
3. Is to find a good informative "something" for the Bowflex on the internet tomorrow.
I'm off to bed. Tired. Satisfied. And I think I'm worthy of this sleep. See you tomorrow!
