Still motivated
Wednesday, November 29th 2006
When you start to lose weight, it is so easy to be motivated. . . you want to keep exercising and chosing the right kinds of food. Today, I woke up and was happy to shovel the driveway because I knew that would burn calories. I remembered to grab my yogurt and snacks for the day. And when I stepped on the scale this morning, I can see that my weight is coming off. When I get dressed, the clothes are fitting better.

On the Right Road
Tuesday, November 28th 2006
I'm feeling better about myself today. Yesterday, I ate well and exercised. This morning, I remembered to grab my yogurt and snacks. If I just take it one day at a time, I have a good chance of losing this weight and being healthy.Yesterday, I made my 6 month appointment for my diabetes check. I'm a little nervous about it. I am hoping my AC1 is under 7. Last time is was 7.1. My cholesterol was good - 129, but my triglycerides were 153 - just a smidge high. Hopefully, all my exerci...

Being Thankful

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for. My marriage is good, the kids are healthy and live near by, my career is good. And even though I'm overwieght, I can be thankful that I had a lot of fun getting there. The next 4 days ahead will be hard, but I'm going to keep reminding myself that on Monday, I'll be weighing in. I'm going to focus on family and not food. I'm going to focus on having fun (like going bowling or letting the dog take me for a walk).Gearing up for the Holiday

On Thanksgiving, I plan to eat only 1/2 cup of the things that are my danger foods . . . I plan to put a lot of green stuff (and n...
