Only Two Cookies?!

-
My treat of the day was 2 chocolate chip Mother's cookies. They were pretty good. I was surprised that 2 cookies were enough. I don't know if they were really enough, or maybe I'm finally really making my weight loss a subconscious priority.

One day at time.

Pushing Thru A Chaotic Day

Today was a CRAZY day. The intentions were good but things kept happening to discourage my focus. In the end, I am moving through my journey a little slower, but still moving in the right direction. The morning skies looked cool and offered the promise of a sprinkle or two Little did I know they would yield a large  amount of rain suddenly and in a relatively  short  period  of time. The rest of the day was on and off  sprinkles and rain. Then the fun began. I took my cat to a heart specialist to find out if his heart is strong enough to be put under to remove a mass/growth from his gumline. While at the specialist, I get a phone call from a number I did not recognize. I let it go to voicemail. There is a moment when I have some downtime waiting in the vet's lobby, so I check my voicemail. It was my bank? The Fraud Department? *sigh* Apparently someone has decided to use my account in Brazil, Massachusetts, and Virginia and rack up A LOT of expenses. No. No. No....

2025 New Chapter: Soft Start

-
Hello World! Looks like I have been gone for nearly two years! I’m back to continue my journey to losing weight and better health all around. That is not to say I have not been making progress. I did slow down while I made other things in my life a higher priority. But, let me toot my own horn for a second. From. August 2024 to September 2025 I managed to shed 40 lbs., 2 pant sizes and finished up my college degree. Yay me. There is still a lot going on in my world but my health is important. The more weight I shed, the easier it is for me to move around. It keeps getting easier and easier to sit on the floor and get back up. I’m not jumping up off the ground, but I can get up with no assistance. I am seeing and feeling improvement.  Why start blogging and tweeting again now? What works for me to help me focused, stay motivated, and make progress is blogging and tweeting. Blogging is a way to talk to myself, document my journey, reflect on my choices (both good and bad ones), and s...

Break The Rollercoaster Scale

Time has been flying by this year. Although I do keep in mind trying to loose weight, I have not been focusing on it. I have started and restarted walking, eating better, getting more sleep, logging my food, and so on. Each time with renewed energy. I begin to see a hint of progress and I allow something to derail me. Perhaps it is because I know I can come back to it later, no one will condem me, and I really do know how to shed those 5 lbs I have regained. That right there is my problem at the moment. I keep loosing and gaining the same 5 lbs.  I need to break this cycle.I have excuses, better known as reasons, why this keeps happening. These past 2 weeks have been busy with 2 birthdays, an anniversary, and eating out for sheer convenience and lack of time to prep meals. Here are some samples of what my meals have been like: Banzai Buurger. Taco, tamale, enchilada, beans and rice. Bacon Cowboy BBQ Burger Shrimp, rice pilaf and asparagus. Key lime pie. And then there is cookies, m...
