I went for a check up with my family doctor on Tuesday and was expecting to get on the scale and I figured I might have gained about 20 lbs but my surprise was waiting 30 LBS!!! That means I am only 10 lbs from being 300 lbs again........I am so upset about this! I knew I would gain but this is so not acceptable! All of my friends are saying it will be ok you will do better when you can get

Yesterday I went for my monthly check up with the Doctor and he says I am doing well but I do need to have 6 more weeks of PT. I am happy but sad also I was so hoping to be able to drive and be able to get back to my life. But it could be worse I am just glad I am getting there and soon it will be all worth it. I will be working in the pool at the gym (PT says it will help the healing process)

Tuesday at PT I got to put on shoes on both feet and now that means I am well on my way! I have to use crutches for the next few weeks and then hopefully fingers crossed sometime in January I am on the go. I was asked to work on my PT in the pool at the gym so off to the gym I go next week I actually missed it funny :)! I cannot wait to get back to my regular routine and get back to my goals.

Yesterday I went for my pre op at the hospital for surgery on Monday and I had to weigh! I was nervous because I can feel that I have gained some weight so I was so ready for the outcome to be very bad. But I still am surprised when my body does this to me I only gained 5 lbs! How that is possible I cannot say I would have guessed 10 to 15...so in light of everything there is a silver lining and

Happy Tuesday everyone hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day! I did worked on some stuff that needed to be done for a while but no relief on my foot pain still having trouble but actually still trying to work it out. Hoping this week goes better suppose to go to the beach this weekend I am really looking forward to it.

Yesterday I went to the Doc for my ankle and he told me that I have to have surgery to correct my problems. I am actually relieved about this even though he told me it will take up to 6 months to recover. I know that sounds like a lot of time but for me it just means one day closer to being better. The pain can be so bad sometimes I cannot stand or just even walk from one point to the other.

Sorry guys I have been out of touch but Friday I was so sick I did not even to to work. I ate at Applebees the night before and I knew the meal looked and smelled funny but I ate it anyway and I paid the price later ewww! And even at the end of the meal I told them I was not satisfied and they charged me anyway!!! So Applebees is off of my list of places to eat.I am feeling better today finally

Well this week is not going any better my ankle is so not working with me and I am so tired of talking about it and not being able to move. I go to the Doctor next Tuesday and I am hoping (fingers crossed) that he will see how much pain I am in and fix it! No medicating, no physical therapy or anything else that he thinks will work that does not involve 100% relief for me! I know I know I am

Happy Monday everyone! Well my plans for the beach got cancelled due to the weather but I did spend a nice weekend with friends and I was reminded just how nice it is just to relax. My ankle is acting up so badly that it is getting to the point of not being able to walk a straight line or just being able to stand. I am going to the Doctor on the 2nd and hoping we can come up with something that

Happy Friday everyone. Well I have been keeping to my word and having salad everyday but......of course there is a but.....I have been trying to keep myself from all the extra stuff I love. I have gotten back into the routine of having ice cream everyday (I know it is wrong) and I am finding it hard to break the cycle. I am going back to the beach tomorrow and I hope to clear my head again (it is

Yesterday was a pretty good day (my ankle is still not working right ) but I am refocusing on my eating habits. As I have said many times in the past few months I have neglected it as well as they gym. I am a salad person I LOVE IT!!! So each day for lunch my goal is to eat a salad with some protein and keep it on course for the rest of the month. I was once told to keep a habit you have to be

I had a great time this weekend at the beach but there were some reminders that I am so off track on my routine. We went out on Friday night and I wore my jeans and let me just say WOW ! That 10 lbs I gained really shows in those jeans - besides not being able to breath I was so uncomfortable the whole night I could not enjoy myself. So I am going to TRY and re motivate myself this week (if ankle

Happy Friday everyone!!!! I am off to the beach this weekend and I am actually looking forward to it. It has been a slow week ankle still giving me fits and not much of anything else. I am keeping my sights on my goal but with no luck but I am trying to keep my head high and just be who I am! Have a great weekend!!!!

This weekend I spend some time with some friends I have not seen in a while and it was good but confusing???I have talked before about how words hurt a person and that people don't seem to care what they say or do. My friends and I were just hanging out and you know conversations go from silly to very weird lol! Something came up about one of their friends and they went on about how she was

Well today is another day full of pain and getting no where fast. I have been working on my physical therapy for my ankle and there is some progress just not a lot. I am hoping by this time next week that it will be a lot better and I can at least walk a straight line. Keep your fingers crossed for me everyone I am going to need it. Have a great weekend!!!

I am still hanging but not doing any better. My ankle is keeping me down and I am just so not happy. I want to get right back up and start again and let this depress me. Boy I am such a whiner!!!!!! But I will get better soon I hope and back on track.

Well this past weekend I was starting to recover from my rash and some other aliments (go I am OLD!) but on Sunday my good friend the ankle decided to give me some pain. As of this morning it is completely right back where it was a couple of months ago. Why can't I win! It seems every time I take a step forward I am stepping 3 or 4 back. I just want to feel whole again and not feel as if I am

Well I thought I was starting to feel better but over the last few days I have developed a rash near my surgery site (had surgery over a month ago) and let me just say OUCH! At first I thought something might have bitten me but nope the Doc said since I have been sweating so much it has gotten infected... What? Who knew doing something productive could harm you. Well this sets me back some more

Happy Monday everyone. Well I finally broke down and went to the Doc on Friday (yep I did a weight in) and I officially have a UTI. That explains why I have been feeling so down and tired. But the good news is I only gained 3 pounds over the last few weeks - what a relief I was terrified to step on the scale and was glad what it said.On a good note tonight is Zumba and I might go back to

Last night I was working on some paperwork for work and I was thinking about how I am trying so hard to fit everything I have to do into my life and how much is not getting done. The gym is what I noticed suffers the most (imagine) and since my ankle has been giving my fits again I so do not want to do anything. But the hardest part is just getting up and doing it and finding that niche that will

Happy Monday everyone I hope you all had a great weekend I did! The beach was such a relaxing place to go this weekend and I really got to think about what direction my life is going in and what I need to do to keep it on track. I have been a slacker the past few weeks (months) and I am hoping to make a difference this week. I am going to the gym on Tuesday and Wednesday is kickboxing. My

This whole week I have been having that old guilty feeling come across me each day every time I eat. I know this is something that is always in the back of my mind but since I have been on the down low lately it really is hitting me hard. This struggle is going to last longer than most I think since my motivation in the last few months is at the low point and just keeping myself positive is the

I have been out of it for the past few days so no gym time nothing. I feel as if I am going down that path of just not caring anymore I am just so tired and no motivation in sight. I know I am up and down everyday but I really just don't care that much right now if I go to the gym or do anything but sleep. I am falling down the same path I once lead with no stopping................I so need to

This weekend so not productive. A lot was going on so not much gym time/walking etc. I really need to just kick myself in the *ss and do it and also learn to say no when someone ask me to do something other than what is for me. That is life we just go with the flow lol!Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and got some exercise in - you all inspire me!

Yesterday I spent some time with one of my favorite people she knows me pretty well and always can make me smile. Do you have that one person in your life that can do that for you no matter what? I mentioned last month about moving to a new location for my job and what I was going to do. Well that fell through and now I am on the verge of unemployment (she did not want me to leave) so now I am

Last night I went to the kickboxing class offered on Wednesday nights at the gym. Just so it is noted I have not been to kickboxing in about a month so I was scared about how well I actually could do. We started off with the jump rope exercise (15 mins of different speeds) because of my ankle I am allowed to do what I can (told by instructor do what you can as long as you are moving that is what

Last night I was determined to go for a walk so after a few hours I finally laced up my shoes and took my sweet dog for a walk. I find if I take him with me I work so much harder. He loves the outdoors and every time he sees me getting ready for the gym he thinks we are going for a walk. I think having a furry companion is just as good as having a friend come along after all aren't our animals

I thought I was going to die in the first 5 mins. Just goes to show when you don't keep up with your program that you will pay for it later.But really I do feel good today a little sore but worth it.

Are there times you are disappointed in someone? In the last few weeks I have been promised certain things and yesterday the rug was pulled out from under me. Needless to say it is no sitting well with me. Do I expect too much from people? I know I do from myself and expressed on this blog over and over I get really disappointed in myself when I don't reach my goals. But sometimes I know I over

Friday was surgery day and I was just expecting to go in and get out and back home with little drama. I arrived early so I could check in and calm my nerves which went well. As with all surgeries you have the Doctor come by the nurses and the anesthesia tech (also a Doctor) they were all asking me questions and telling me all will be fine. All that is normal but when the Doctor (anesthesia

Over the last few weeks I have found a new passion - Shredded Wheat! I never really liked it growing up so I just never ate it but one of friends had some at her house and I gave it a second chance and now I am hooked. Now the key to this (if you eat the frosted type) is to watch just how much you eat and be careful and not over do it with the milk either. I have a been eating a bowl every

Last week I was having a conversation with one of my really close friends and we were talking about how much weight I have lost so far and how I have been struggling with my routine and she asked me where I think I have lost the most weight. Well I said I know exactly where that is and of course she asked and I told her my BOOBS! She looked at me with this face and then we started laughing and

Last week we had a meeting where I work about the new Wellness program they are introducing to the employees and how to live a better life style.The Human resource rep. approached me and was asking all these questions about how I lost most of my weight and so on. I was more than happy to answer her questions and she was telling me she wanted to do an article on me for the company newsletter. Put

Yesterday was a great day....I went walking with my friends at a near by park and it was so beautiful. I really enjoyed being outside and just taking the time to enjoy life. I have some great friends in my life and I appreciate all they do for me. The walk was great it really cleared my head a lot and helped me come to some decisions I really need to work on. I want bore you guys with them but

As usual you guys know how to kick me in the *ss! I appreciate all of your comments and I am really trying to get back on track but I was given some news this week that I really need to think over. I work for a company that sends some of its employees to other states to work I was asked to do this and my first thought was do they have a gym I can go to? Yep that was my first thought and I was so

Yesterday I went for a check up at the heart doc and of course they have to weigh you in so I was so not looking forward to it (ice cream, pudding) low and behold I lost 4 lbs. Now I am really grateful but what is going on? The human body always surprises me - I will take it! My goal for June is to get past the 260 range and be in the 250's - I know I can do it but all the ice cream, pudding and

This weekend I really stuck to staying on track. I went to the gym on Sunday and took kick boxing again and I feel really good today. I love classes that make you work that make you see what your goal is and that is what this class does for me. I am hoping to get my momentum back up this week so next week I can get back to 30/20/10 and also feel back to normal. I have some goals I am working on

Happy Friday everyone! Last night I did not make it to the gym but I did walk a lot so I am going to count that as some form of exercise (a girl can dream can't she lol!) and this weekend is starting off with being an eat fest. My Friend invited me over for a bar-b-que on Saturday and another one invited me to some kind of fair near her house so that means a lot of food lol. I am going to try and

Last night I went to the kick boxing class (I took it before at another location back in January) and it was so nice to get up and moving. I am a little sore and my ankle is not happy but I feel good. The class was at 4:30 and I got home by 6 which I really liked because I can get the gym out of the way and get home for a good dinner and relax. I think I am going to go again on Sunday I cannot

I am a little sore this morning but I am so glad I went since I really wanted to take a nap when I got home lol!Tonight I am going back and working on the treadmill (maybe strive) and just keep going back and get myself back where I was a few months

Yesterday (May 17th) was my 1 year anniversary for this blog........I have to say when I started on this journey I really did not think I would make it past 1 month and to be here writing about being on my healthy lifestyle for this past year is a great accomplishment I cannot pass by. I have come so far and lately I have been pulling back from the goals I have set for myself and also question my

This weekend I am off to Washington to spend some time with my son and my bff! I am really excited I have never been there and I am so looking forward to all the walking we will be doing and learning a lot about our capital. The last few days I have not exercised or had any motivation to count of. I spent last night with Dee (my son adores her) and we both have been slacking and made a commitment

Friday night I went to a birthday party for one of my friends and she had invited one of her really close friends that she has known for over 10 years. I got to know her really well this Saturday when we spent the whole day together and come to find out she is a dietician! Wow I have never actually met someone who specializes in this field. So we where chatting and my friend told her I have

Yes ladies and gentlemen I finally made it back to the gym yesterday (cheers) and I have to say it was nice. I had promised a friend that I would at least go in and make an effort (being accountable does work) and I was kind of shocked by how much I really miss it. I told my Mom this feels like home lol! I walked on the treadmill for about 20 mins. and I have to say my legs where a little wobbly

I have been struggling with this for the past few weeks (mostly due to the hospital stay and some other issues in my life right now) and I am just stuck doing it.

This post will be about being honest. Over the past few weeks I have not followed through on my workout plans. Last night, as many of the last few weeks, I went to bed by 8:00 PM I know what is that. I am trying to get out of the routine of going to bed so early but I just can't break the cycle. The time I spent in the hospital really did a number on me. I have to take naps now all I want to do

Yesterday was check up day at the Doctors office and it went well but....he wants me to have some tests done on my stomach. I told him as long as he did not mention the H word (Hospital) I would do whatever he liked. Years ago I had a similar test done and they told me I was developing an ulcer so hence the new test he wants to rule out that the ulcer is active and could be part of some of the

The last few weeks I have gotten back into some old habits - eating when I am bored! I am having a tuff time trying to keep myself from eating. I have always had this problem and since I have been on a regular routine of working out I have been taking my focus somewhere else. But since being in the hospital and having to take time off I noticed last night I am right back where I was before eating

Last night I went walking for the first time in 2 weeks and it was so nice. We have been having some afternoon showers and I love how it smells after the rain - and it reminds me that spring is just around the corner and I cannot wait.This week will shape up really nicely I am going to walk each afternoon and work on some projects that I have neglected for a while. I am enjoying this down time

Been trying to keep my stress level down but as you all know life does not let us do that.

Hello everyone I am doing really well today. I am still a little sore but on the road to recovery.Yesterday at work a group of us were informed that in the next 30 days we will be laid off. I really was expected it but WOW I started thinking about what I might have to give up until the economy gets back on track and the one thing I am worried about is my membership to the gym. I cannot give that
