Why me?!?!  I don’t understand!  I am changing my weight tracker to remind myself that I must lose five pounds.  I was at 207 for such a long time, and only to regain four pounds is unacceptable.  I know I have sneaked in some Girl Scout cookies, but something else must give.  I also know that I MUST exercise, but I’m sorry…..at times the motivation is not there to exercise in the morning and being a single parent, makes it difficult to fit it into the evening hours (do you feel me?).  I am so praying that by Monday the four pound gain will be a thing of the past.  Weight gain is depressing.  I have put some thought into replacing two of my meals with homemade smoothies (this way I know the calorie intake), but don’t know if that is a good idea (maybe it is).  I tried the Special K challenge (give them two weeks and lose two inches), well that did not work.  Trying to lose weight makes me feel like such a basket-case, that I do find humor in it.  Aside from trying to lose weight, life is good.  My concentration is fixed on losing weight that it is becoming ridiculous.  Any ideas, or motivational techniques would be appreciated.  Have a great day!

Flowers make the world beautiful, just like Moms!

Enjoy your day!

He makes all things beautiful in his time…this can not be repeated enough.  God is on my side and so is time.  That is pretty much the reason I am not rushing the weight loss.  I am so proud of myself for getting rid of 27 lbs., and I am looking forward to meeting my goal weight of 150 lbs (it might take me two years).  Healthy eating and exercising is becoming a way of life for me, but there are my weaknesses.  I still indulge in the “not so healthy” foods (nothing to the extreme).  I realize that if I do not have my ice cream, I do eventually go back — and at times with full vengence.  So I have built these “not so healthy” food items into my way of life.  Instead of full-fat ice cream, I also enjoy frozen yogurt. 

Hey, this is the only life I have, so I need to enjoy it.
