Wow!

Doing well so far--- just taking time for myself, not that I am being selfish but putting my needs last has landed me where I am now!

I am down another pound today. My body has really fallen back into the eating schedule again--- it knows it is time for breakfast--- I am off to make it maybe I'll do better with the omelette this AM. (See picture in gallery)

I need to get a few things that I didn't get yesterday. So cold here--- 20 degrees presently. I'm going with the curly hair today, so I have to wait until it air dries.

My son just asked me "where are we going?" I said where do you want to go? He said "Sonic". I am trying to break that habit for him as well.

If I do go it will be only for an unsweetened tea. Anyone that knows me--- knows I love my unsweetened tea.

Okay never got around to posting earlier, busy day stayed on plan except for a small bite of Austin's chicken --- big mistake--- it was like my stomach said--- " Not in Here!!!". Lesson learned!

I have no gallbladder thanks to a removal at the age of 24--- after a round of Nutri-System.

I followed that plan to the letter hit a 25 lb plateau and even got called into the office for a "heart to heart" which ended with them asking me what I was afraid of, when it comes to losing weight. I kept saying I was doing the plan as written but they did not believe me.

I showed them, I ended up having stones due to all the checmicals in their food within the month I stopped the program. Wish I would have found this plan all those years ago, instead!

So that brings me to my question of the day--- is it worth it? "What are you afraid of " still resonates in my head--- If I aim to lose 15-19 lbs a month, I am only limited by my own works.

Is this momentary nibble worth the set back in hard work? Is the reward of smaller sizes, better heath, more stamina, all around well being & improving my asthma worth a minor set back?

I say no--- tomorrow I have to go retun some clothes the Lane Bryant--- I will be so happy the day they no longer know my face in there!

I received $150.00 in gift cards from there for Christmas. I bought a pair of dress pants, and some sweaters & a shirt. I have only worn the pants & I made a promise to myself I will not buy the size I am in ever again!

I am taking the tops back & getting two more pair of pants in the next size down. I may get one in one size smaller & another in yet again another size smaller.

They can be altered while I am losing until the day I just step out of them for good.

I have a dear friend who once told me about her Mom when she was in college. She was on a date and out walking and the elastic in her underwear snapped. As her underwear was falling down she made the decision to keep her head held high & do not draw attention to it but continue walking without looking back. the date never noticed and she had a great story to pass on--- Thanks B!


I am chosing to do what my friend's Mom did--- keep my head held high and keep walking out of the garmet which no longer serves a purpose!

I even find myself browsing online at places like Ann Taylor & Banana Republic. I keep thinking I may order a reward outfit, if I find the right price & style. It helps keep you focused when you window shop the normal size clothes as you go through stores.

I did a lot of prep tonight for my veggies & sweet potatoes. I used my new Food processor I got for Christmas-- it is a ten cup monster & does it ever make my life easier. It was like I was looking around going what can I throw in here next.

I even made my homemade salsa. I am hoping it will be as good as the last batch. I still smell like cilantro-- man! I love that stuff.

Well goodnight All! I am off to fight my hubby for the covers. For some reason he thinks he & the floor on his side of the bed deserve more covers that I do!

Go figure!
