I was actually down 6 pounds, but then I ate and ate and now I am up 6 pounds. I am having a really hard time finding any kind of motivation for loosing these 16 pounds. I mean, everyone says I look fine. I dont have to worry about the boyfriend saying I am fat cuz I dont have one! I had my blood checked and all is well . . . so what will get me going and loose the flab? Do I try weight loss pills? E2L again? WW again? I have tried it all. What I need is a goal; something to strive for . . . . eGads. Austria in 2012, France in 2013 . . . but that is like SO far away !

I love taking a quick snooze in the middle of the day; 30 minutes or so is all I really need. I just get so dang tired after working all day I need a quick break.
Every day when I get home, the first thing I do is take the Cats outside. It seems they like short breaks too!
I do believe that being outside is good for us. It clears my mind, the air is nice and the sun (in moderation) helps me remove acne scars buy getting a nice glowing tan. I have not been to the pool yet this year as I am too fat and embarressed to show myself, but I do love the Sun and if dont get a nap and Vitamin D from the Sun each day – talk about a grumpy Mom!

Here I am; Monday Morning, Almost 47 Years Old, and FAT. *heavy sigh*
I am really having a heck-of-a-time with my weight these days. Which makes me very grumpy, which makes me eat more, which makes me gain weight, which makes me grumpy, which makes me eat more, which makes me gain weight . . . do you see the cycle ?!
If I don’t get my stupid brain back working like it is supposed to work, I might get more age spots and for heavens sake I don’t want those!
SO today its going to STOP. I re-set my Weight Watchers OnLine w/new stats and I am going to be happy again, be slim again, and be healthy.
Here are my Stats. I figure if I post them online I will be SO embaressed I will have no choice but to loose the flab:
Age: 47 in a few days
Weight: 162.00
Height 5′ 8.5″
So there ya go. From now on it will go down down down down. I am tired of putting my life on hold cuz I am too fat. I can’t even go to the pool for god’s sake !!!!!! But No More. Today it Stops.

So I take a few days off work last week so that I can work around the house, and do some yardwork as well since the weather has been beautiful, but noooooo. I come down with some wierd symptoms and pretty much spent the weekend laying down.
I have been so dang dizzy! The world just spins around me and I sit still trying not to get sick to my stomach! So today I see the Nurse and she says I have something called Peripheral Vertigo. I guess its common for women my age, sheesh. Anyways, it is a strong sensation of spinning or hurtling towards the ground; worsened by rapid movement, or in my case, any stinkin’ movement at all!. She said it could last up to 6 weeks. OMG.
But I guess the good news is that I know what it is now, and I can plow right thru it (like I do everything else) and hope I dont fall over and kill myself.
The nurse did also give me a presciption that will help quence the nausea, so I guess as long as I dont spew everywhere I will be okay just spinning around all day long . . . . . total bummer.

This past week was not a good one for sure. I gained Four Pounds. Sorry to say, this was not shock tho. Easter Dinner was sooo good I could not pass up on seconds, plus we hit a burger joint last week, so right there that adds up.
And I think my body is getting used to the Treadmill. I need to search the web directory to see what other kinds of stuff I can do on the Treadmill other than walking (if this is even possible!). I really like the Treadmill, so I want to keep at it. I just hope I can loose those four pounds this week and break even. sheesh, sometimes I really hate holiday foods.

I have noticed that this past week I have not been as healthy as I normally am. My Eyes are dry and itchy, my hair not as shiny and my skin is rather dull and could use some acne serum.
Its no wonder tho, as my diet has been terrible with all this moving furniture, cleaning, and lack of sleeping.
I am really looking forward to this weekend. Even tho I only get the usual 2 days off, I am planning on sleeping in both days so that I can get my health back. Mind you, I am not sick, just kinda out-of-it.
I cant wait to sleep in!

Yesterday I once again, went on the Treadmill. This time I tried to Run. OMG. I cannot Run. Nope, Nada, No Way.
I think I lasted perhaps 2 minutes running.
Running hurts. It hurts my joints, my head and just about everything. Mind you, I still have 10 lbs to loose, but I am not really That overweight. Well I am, but only sorta. Its complicated. I really want to get back in shape and perhaps get an insurance quote so that I know I am heathy and its on paper.
But after yesterday, uh – dont think so! There is no way I am running ever again. I will stick to Walking thatyouverymuch!

Well I hit my Mid mark yesterday. I want to loose 20 pounds and yesterday I weighed in as loosing 10 pounds! I am happy. However, this has taken me since January to do this ! a whole two and a half months. yuck. too long. I did rather blow in February, but March is coming along nicely.
And today, I did my usual Tread Mill thing; 45 minutes, burning 300 calories at 6 % grade and 3.4 mph. I think I am actually liking this too! It gets me out of my desk for almost an hour and it works like natural sleeping pills for me at night; I am out like a light each night!
I just hope my stamina and willpower holds up. I cannot afford to buy new summer shorts so I have to fit into my old ones!
The weekend is just about here so as long as I can resist junk food this weekend I will be fine and Monday will be here sooner that I can imagine anyways. ugh.

I am still going down to the Fitness Center here at work four times a week. This week I have raised my incline on the treadmill to 6% and my speed to 3.3 mph. Just cruizin’, eh? hardy har har. But really, thats all I can take! I hate running as it hurts everthing in my body and I will not take those best weight loss pills I have been hearing about. I am going to loose the flab my way! so there!
Unfortunatly-its going slow. So far this week; only .4 of a pound. ugh.
Plus, they brought doughnuts to work today. I am doing good eating my carrots, apple, banana and pretzels, but I could not resist – I had One Bite. I figure thats about 50 calories (shhh, it was a big bite okay?!)
Thats it. No More Bites! No More!!!

I am continuing on my journey to loose those dreaded pounds of fat from my skinny body underneath. As of yesterday, I still have 12 lbs to loose. Better I admit, but its is slow going. I dont like slow going anythings, but I have come to accept this slow weight loss program – I just cannot loose more than 2 lbs a week!. I do research on line, read as many articles as I can; have not read any colon cleanse reviews as of yet, but that is my next step.
I gotta get healthier. My son needs to get healthier. Our fat Cats need to get healthier.
Oh, we have to move the Piano today – that should burn Some extra Calories for sure, heeheehee. The thing weighs a ton!
