The Beast Did Well!

I had a good day yesterday! Toast for breakfast as I was out of milk so didn't have cereal or anything else interesting in the fridge for breakfast! Thankfully I got to the grocery store yesterday afternoon! I had a salad and parfait for lunch and enjoyed a roast with carrots, onions & potatoes for dinner. Also had to have some corn bread! But all in all a good busy day. Between cleaning and chocolate making I got in lots of excercise.

Now to keep going and hope for a decent weight loss by Wednesday!

Feeling like beast mode today!

I weighed in today and was down a 1/2 a pound from yesterday. I'm determine to start doing better.

I need to start focusing on why I want to lose weight and remember those reasons whenever I want to snack on something that is not good for me.  Here is a list of reasons I would like to lose weight.

Sick of the aches and pains that seem to be getting worse!
Sick of my clothes getting too tight!
Sick of being tired and feeling run down!
Sick of feeling guilty for not getting healthy!

So I am in beast mode today! I want to work hard and do my best and see some good results by Wednesday morning!!

Wish me luck!

If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again!

My mom had a rough time since Spring of 2016. She started with hallucinations then was diagnosed with dementia. She passed away July 31, 2017. To say it has been a very tough year and a half would be an understatement. It has been one of the worst times of my life witnessing my mom's struggle, then decline and then her passing.

We have always been very close. Best friends. And to lose her was like losing a part of me. I miss her everyday but I know she would want me to get back on track and get healthy again. I let everything going on get in the way of staying healthy.

I am now up over 60 pounds from my lowest weight in spring of 2014. So dissappointing but I also know what I've been going through so I try not to beat myself up over it. But if I can't get myself back on track now, it's just going to get worse.

I am closing on a new property for my business this month and that has been quite stressful as well. We've been trying to buy this property since May! I won't go into it, but it's been another thing that has kept me very busy!

But now it's time for me to regain my focus! I am at 244.9 pounds as of this past Friday. My weight just seems to slowly climb up and up and up. I have GOT TO stop this pattern and get headed in the other direction.

Today marks my new beginning and getting back to healthier habbits! I will certainly try to post more often. I know I've struggled off and on to keep this up the last couple of years but I am hopeful that I can start my journal for the long haul again!

Wish me luck!
