My husband and I weighed in this morning. We both have been bad over these past five and half months with a weight gain of eight or more pounds. Today I will start up my exercise program again. After I finish logging and blogging, I will head off to the gym for my first appointment to the gym. I will then report here what I do every day exercise wise for accountability. Dog walks will only count for time but not really exercise. I will count then time wise because my PT told me I have to because of the wear and tear on my joints.


I think the stress of my situation got to my husband and I, but we have to not let the our situation bogs us down. A friend of mine really got on to Thursday. She reminded me that I will always have temptations to feast my eyes on here in America. Americans don't eat right to begin right here the land of the plentiful. The land of the junk food I would like to add. She added I will have to learn that it is my duty to that my body right and chose to eat right no matter what everyone else is saying and doing. You see I was letting it get to me that so many people were admitting they have a food addiction and not doing anything about it.

It was bugging the heck out of me to the point that I would be good in the meetings then go home and be just like the people I saw in the meetings. I would say to myself, " why bother if they don't care !" Now isn't that stupid ! It is my body not theirs that I need to be concerned about not to mention the Lord tells us to not to judge someone else's but to look at ourself !!!!! I was using their problem to justify my own problem. How hypocritical ! My friend reminded me that I had made a pledge to myself a while back that I was not going to look at what others would say to me or do when I started down this path. That's just what I did, and look where it started to get me.

So, I asked the good Lord for forgiveness and here we go again. This time I'm serious about logging and exercising and paying attention to the job I have on hand. NO more coasting at or above goal weight. 135 is the goal I chose, so we won't stop till we get there now. I have a job to complete now.

This morning I are my cereal, fruit, soymilk, egg beaters, had my coffee.
lunch will be a sandwich, salad, veggies
Dinner, veggie meatballs with a mushroom sauce on noodles
