Feeling Hopeful
Hanging in there Thank you
Hi everyone , I know it has been a long time since I have made an entry but there has been a lot going on and it has seemed like when we thought we hit bottom and couldn't go no further life decided to prove us wrong and kick us a little bit harder and deeper down...But we have survived and I think that we are going to be ok as long as we get up every morning and put one foot in front of the other and keep on trucking along.. no sense in looking back because there is nothing we can do about the past and there is so much we need to work on in the future...
I have gained some weight back but I am not to upset about it because the doctor's assure me that it is fluid , yeah right that box of cookies filled up some empty fat cells tooo lol but hey stress and cookies are a great combo right! wrong I know I shouldn't of but that just goes to show that no matter how skinny this body gets there is a fat girl who lives inside waiting to get out ... so I have to beware...
the good thing I learned from all this is I still have control and I am able to realize where I am doing wrong before it gets to out of hand and stop my self .. the lack of exercise and the eating badly has me back in the 270's the fluid doesn't help I can drop 10 lbs in a day if I take fluid pills and walk around or stay in bed with my feet up ... yeah they proved it too me but I don't have to have the fluid pills so I am not taking them because of the lack of exercise .. I will get it back off once I can walk and clean house the right way again ...
Thou I haven't been able to do much but send a email occassionally my friend Lindapooh Sharon, Emmi from my group have been so great sending me get well cards and flowers I so appreciate you girls so much there were days that I felt so alone and depressed and I would get those cards and start to feel so much better because I knew that online I have a family that loves me and are there for me no matter what ....
It is Springtime here and it is so nice , the birds are chirping and the grass is green , the weather is nice and breezy today and it just made me want to open all the windows and let the wind blow thru the house and that is what we did the kids are on break and we cleaned dad's house and opened it up and now we have our house airing out as my momma used to say ... it is so beautiful I wish I could take one of my long walks in the pasture ... these are the days that make life so great .... oh well I will be doing it soon...
WEIGHT LOSS TIP OF THE DAY....
Yard work is a great form of exercising and you get so much done ... raking leaves, mowing and picking up rocks and sticks are a great form of cardio....and it makes your home look so much nicer ... so go do some yard work on this beautiful spring day..
I hope you all are doing well and I will be around to journals soon , remember you can do it just take it

Can you send some of the Spring weather down south?
Actually, this morning was a little cold, but decided to work on my yard, and before long I was sweaty-hot, with all the bending, tugging, pulling tree/bushes off the ground, handling heavy bag of potting soil, ypa! I got my exercise right there.
It got warmer during midday and now it's cold again.
I say don't lose hope about your weight loss journey, you can always start the very next day. I'm working on it slowly.
you go girl! you CAN do it!
