It's been a week since I've posted on my blog, I feel bad for that, I've found it's a great source of stress relief from me and really should do it everyday.

 

My friend John who retired (at the age of 42) last year from being an air traffic controller came in for a visit on Monday. It was an unexpected visit and I had to work which was a bummer. I did take off Tuesday with him and we went to the gym together. That was fun. He's addicted to my rockband game! We had a blast just jammin.

 

My friend Dalena moved in last Friday with her ten year old son. It's been a lot better than I thought it would be. Mikey her son is going to have some serious food issues if she doesn't change his eating habits I can already see that. He doesn't want to eat what is on the table and then goes to the cabinet that is now loaded (ugh ugh ugh) with JUNK food and gets whatever he wants.

 

Dalena has never once read a food label doesn't know the difference between fat, carbs and protein and no clue what a serving size is. I'm working on teaching her. I think that I will take her to the nut with me on Thursday when I go for my first fill.

 

I am SOOOOOOO ready for my first fill. It's so hard sticking to just what I am supposed to be eating. I've been cooking a lot more since Dalena has been here which is rough for me. I'm going to back off on that. It's better not to have the temptation of tasting while I cook. I'm getting burnt out on cottage cheese and yogurt. I do great during the day when I am at work and want to eat the house at night.

 

Dang scale must be broken it's not moving:cursing:

 

I am exercising at least an hour of cardio every day and have noticed a difference in the size of my clothing. I was SHOCKED:w00t: last night when I bought a pair of inspiration workout pants from old navy in a size medium and they FIT!!!:thumbup::thumbup::cursing: Doing the happy dance!

 

Today my cardio will be spent in the garden, my Weed, oh I mean flower beds have been overtaken and i must find them.

 

With that I'm going to sign off and get to work. Hope everyone one is doing well with their band, I hope mine starts working soon, it's been a slacker!

Keep up the Great Job!! Focus on yourself and others will notice and ask how to be healthy as well. I am also a care giver and this is the time I learn to give to myself LB is hard enough.

Get the cupboards empty with (ugh ugh ugh) do not let it back in once it is gone or it may creep as it did into my mouth. I have only had one fill so far and I am going on the 26 th for my second. My life has changed so much because I have made better choices. Other around me are healthier as well now. Only allow those better choices into your HOME!!!! Lets be friends together in this journey. Best wishes and keep up the good job. imaluckydog

So glad to hear you are okay, I was worried about you! And, yes, get the junk food OUT of the house!...maybe if Dalena's son has to walk to the market to get his chips, he will think twice about what is on the table!!! I know it is hard to enforce a rule that you really deep down would like to not partipate in. Yikes! I want junk too :sad:

Be firm!

love ya
