Day 1
Today started off as I expected, in a rush. I overslept & was running late for work. But I did take the time to do a two-minute video blog however something happened with the sound so I had to delete it :-( But like I said in my video this evening... food wise, I did really good today. I did feel really gross and nauseous most of the day though. I'm not sure why actually, but the past couple days on and off I've felt really bloated and yucky. I seriously thought I was going to toss my cookies just about the entire day at work. So I left about 20 minutes early and went to the doctor. I am feeling a bit better now, but still a little queasy, so I'm probably not going to be able to exercise today. Just as a reminder to myself this is not an excuse for being lazy... I really honestly am feeling sick.
I could do better w/ drinking my water though. This is always been difficult for me to get enough fluids in. I bought a water bottle with a pop top and some Crystal Light, so this should help me get that down as much as I can.
Today's Food:
Breakfast:
1 cup Cheerios
1/2 cup of blue berries
1 cup fat-free milk
Lunch:
1/2 whole-wheat pita pocket
stuffed with spinach leaves, hard-boiled egg,
tomato slices. 1/2 teaspoon of mayo and raisins
Dinner:
(due to the upset tummy doctor said a mild diet tonight)
small red baked potato, 1 teaspoon butter & sour cream
1 small whole-wheat dinner role
1/2 cup Healthy Choice soup
and water, As much as I could handle throughout the whole day.
Snacks:
2 graham crackers squares
1 cup international House coffee
1 banana
Today's Emotions:
optimistic & hopeful and happy to have gotten through Day 1, meeting all my major goals I set out for myself today... minus the exercise due to the yucky tummy.

Preparation
11:15 AM
As I suspected...my hubby is starting to get stressed out about the planning. He drives me crazy with this kind of thing. I'm just going to let him make his comments and storm around for a few minutes and I'm not going to react to it... he'll get on board, he usually does after a while anyway. After all he is the one that has to do all the cooking and physical prepping . The planning is my job the doing is his. So my overall goal today is to set out to do what I planned, meal planning and grocery shopping and most of all to just... let it ride!
Wish me luck
--------------
*Update* 9:15 PM
Today went pretty good. Hubby went along with everything and seems to be really on board now. My kids all came over and had dinner tonight and and of course brought my beautiful grandchildren... I need my dose for the week... before they came over we went to the grocery store and bought the essentials for the week. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies and healthy snacks. I planned my breakfasts and lunches for the week that are quick and easy and for dinner Art (hubby) is going to take care of that.
So tomorrow I start Day One. The last few days I've actually felt pretty yucky. I've had a headache on and off the past two days and tonight I felt nauseous... so I'm praying that I feel better tomorrow. I'm going to get to bed early so I can get up early my goal is to video blog before work. I notoriously run late, so we'll see how that works out.
I'm really looking forward to beginning this change. I need and want to be successful at losing weight more than anything in this world.
So, wish me luck and Ready Set... Go!

Going public can be kind of scary
I decided to make my blog public This is something that kind of makes me a bit nervous. But I think it's something I need to do to keep myself honest as I try to reach my goals. I really don't think I'm going to have a lot of readers, I don't even know if I'm going to have any readers at all, but I need to know the things I'm saying might be read by somebody, maybe even help someone. I've always tried to make lemonade out of lemons. And I've got myself into a situation I'm not loving certainly not proud of, but who knows it may inspire someone, or help someone who's going through a similar situation disabled or not. So here goes...
dear family and friends & total strangers who may be reading this, I do welcome your comments , encouragement & advice. However, please don't judge me because if I'm having a bad day I may say something or write something that I mean just at that moment. This is my place to vent and try to figure out why I give up on trying to lose weight. I think of it kinda like an alcoholic. They're not alcoholic simply because they drink too much. Typically they drink too much because of all the noise in their head and emotional stuff that causes them to want to numb the pain with alcohol. So for me it's not just because I'm lazy or because I'm hungry or because I just really like this food or that food. It's because of something I'm dealing with emotionally. I don't know what it is... maybe deep down I don't think I really deserve it. That's the kind of stuff I need to work out. So, I'm using this space to help me to figure it out, and work it out with myself as a kind of motivator to help keep me on track.
My goal is to blog regularly, I'm not sure really what I'll be blogging about yet... it's going to be a work in progress. I want nothing more in this entire world and to be a thinner, healthier, happier person. And I know that it's going to take a lot of work... from the inside & the outside ... wish me luck!
Ready, Set...Go!

Farmer's Market ... or maybe not
Well i started the day off right... (as you can see from the video) & got up @ 9:00 am & headed out the door @ 9:45 am w/ tons on energy to my hubby's dismay to go to the Farmer's Market ... & it was closed :-( stupid farmers j/k... so my hubby & i went & had a BIG ol' yummy unhealthy breakfast instead... kinda like our last big horrah. I plan to go next week though.
Now i'm at home on New years day w/ a monster sized headache... i took a ton of meds ... cross your fingers they kick in soon... Wish me luck :-)
Happy New Year
I'm so ready to begin again & i'm really excited & motivated but a bit nervous that i'll loose my desire to keep going, especially when it gets a bit challenging... wish me luck!
Happy New Year!
