Day #1…..why is the first day so easy?…..we had chicken tenders cut in small pieces fried in 2 tsp. of olive oil….I had mine on a tossed salad with green peas and light dressing….John had his with some leftover boiled potatoes roasted crispy in the oven….

Today is THE day….will check in later!

Yikes!….my numbers are currently scaring me to death!….I am promising myself to “ come clean” and post them next week….I need to make myself accountable…..sorry to say, I am back in pretty sad shape…..my ankles, knees and hips are hurting….the extra pounds are literally killing me….I am wearing a night gown most of the day…

Thank you!….I have been reading posts but haven’t been actually on track for a while…hope to get to know you better soon….I had lost 110 lbs but the last 10 months I have gained so much back it sickens me….but I am determined to do it again!….keep up the hard work!

This is the first time I have had internet today….cable TV has also been on and off….we are getting some things cleaned up but it is a slow go…hopefully everything will be almost normal here soon….I intend for Monday to be my “D” day!

Hello from down under, literally!….yes, we are on the west coast of Florida about 40 miles north of where the direct hit of the hurricane came in….no power for a week….no hot water, etc….we did have water….we lost some beautiful big old live oak trees, some shingles on roof, an entire fence, a leak in roof, etc but we are…

I had a chef salad followed by a fruit salad for dinner….I was hot, sweaty, and tired!

I am anticipating no power sometime in the next week with the hurricane approaching our coast….it did make a slight turn west today which is good for us!

You are doing great!

This was a great compliment!

Fire roasted crushed tomatoes with rice and ground sirloin….mixed in some chili beans, peppers, and onion….for good measure I added three mini mozzerella balls….huge potion and filled me up not out!

We have two air units ( central heat and air )…we had to replace the one on the kids end of the house…the one on our end keeps getting repaired but the cold air works….we never had the heat element replaced but haven’t missed it yet for two winters!….no basements here either, cement slabs mostly to prevent termites….good…

Good start going here….down 5 pounds already….mostly from fluid retention but I will take it!

I ordered broccoli instead of fries with my lunch!

Another good busy day….getting into the groove!

When I eat healthy and lose weight, it is what I do….if I am not eating healthy or dieting, I don’t….it doesn’t matter if the good stuff is here or not SMH!

Salad and corn, that’s it folks!

Bbq chicken tenders, mexi corn, and baked beans….yum yum

Day #3 was a success!….feeling more like myself and motivated to keep it going!…. 7 people using our fridge so it does get full and messy!…we do have a freezer and everyone has a mini fridge in their bedrooms for drinks, string cheese, pudding, etc….that helps a lot…..

Salad, linguine and sauce for dinner followed by a Yasso yogurt bar…..I had planned on using zucchini instead of real pasta but my grandaughter screwed up my timing by having to do something after school while I fumed in the car for 45 minutes….

Not bragging but I have been “ dieting” for 22 1/2 hours!….the “ sugar fog “ has already started to leave my mind!….today has been a good day and I am looking forward to tomorrow….I have let a lot of time waste away the past few months….

I really am ready to rejoin the living again….

Ah!…share my numbers?….nope, not today….maybe in the next few weeks I will be ready to do that….I have continued to gain weight the past few months….it stops today and I am here!

I am here but I’m not….sending warm thoughts to you Bella and thinking of you…. Happy Anniversary Yooly….we will celebrate 47 in Nov. Hello Alex, Pav, and Laurie and everyone else…. My leg is still swollen and sore….have not gotten out much and I am very bored= eating too much!…I have read a lot! My grandson will be 17…

Happy Birthday!

You are a great role model for how it is done!….

Florida has an abundance of produce currently!…last week huge blackberries were only 99 cents a container and I should have bought many more but because of my blood clots I didn’t get around much….my grandson is eating Dragon fruit like they are free!…his girlfriend is a wonderful cook and baker….omg the things she has…

You know we can because we have before!….I have missed swimming so much this summer….life happens and it has been a difficult year for many of us for different reasons…I am trying to give myself more calories to keep from binging and still be able to lose weight….hugs!

We can do this!…I, too am taking a different approach….being laid up has made me appreciate how much better I felt at a healthier weight….I swore I would never gain all of the weight back I had worked so hard to lose but I have managed to pack 69 lbs back on in a very short time….ugh

Welcome back!….I remember you!….
