Okay, well, let's start over! 2007!

About a year ago I recall stepping on my home scale (which is about 5 pounds less than the LA Weightloss scale with clothes on, etc.) and it kept hovering around 159, but by grace, I didn't hit the 160. I looked at my rear end, and knew that it was getting bigger than my liking, and knew and decided to reinstitute a dieting program.

Anyway, I am about ten pounds less, all things considered, a year later, but it has been hard. I have been as far as around seventeen pounds lighter (more than that transiently), but currently, I am about 8-10 pounds lighter than a year ago.

It is time to step it up. This is my new goal/plan for 2007. (I'm in California and it is still 2006, though through most of the world it is now 2007.)

By 2008 I want to not be heavier than what I am now, which is probably 152, give or take a couple pounds. If I can maintain this weight, and bring it down about 5 pounds on average, that will be great!! I hope that I have the emotional acceptance of this, that God could want this for me, for His glory and purpose in my life. I want to eat well and take healthy supplements.

I want to change my exercise program, regrettably, because I want to/have decided to work more. So I want to work out 4-6 hours per week, likely in evenings (ugh). I want to maintain the current beauty programs that I am currently involved. That's it for now.

trying to hang in there

I keep thinking I just gained lots of weight. Maybe a couple pounds. I'm going to talk in front of 85 friends in about 8 days.

Someday I'd like to have lipo-suction on my thighs and have them de-veined, but I do not have time or money or current inclination.

Okay, so I sound very self-focused....but have you looked at 45 year-old women lately? Someone's gotta pay attention because gravity and atophy are taking over, but I am fighting back, and it is fun.

Oh well. Call me vain. But I'm not really, cause I can't wait to go to heaven (when God calls and has planned) and turn in this body!!!!

Another Milestone!

I'm at LA Weightloss right now and weighed in at exactly 150.00! I'm back on track!

Couple of good days, one not so good, but the food was worth it.

Exercise class is hard! My how quickly my body atrophies! I guess that is because I am 44 and a half. I'll keep plugging, by the grace of God.

I guess I'm not over that

A couple of weeks ago I was reflecting how nice it is to be "so over that." So over the bondage of over-eating. The need to have to run into my Stronghold, the Lord Jesus Christ for help with eating and exercise.

Well. Not so fast. The scale is creeping up, up and up and the blubber is building and the exercise appointments are being missed.

I think the least expensive way that I think I am going to try to get back on track is to go back to the tried and true which is the following:

Daily log of eating
Following the LA Weightloss regimen that actually lets me lose weight, which is following completely to the rules and having less starch than is allowed in the plan
Exercise 4-6 hours per week

I am planning on calling the LA Weightloss place Monday and letting them know I'd like two weekes excused for vacation. This will give me time to get to the correct weight. Otherwise I think that they are going to make me pay more money, and if I just come back in a couple or three weeks, I can stay on the "maintanence" program.

(I missed my appointment last week due to being too over my weight goal to dare to go.)

Well, the excitment of life in the slow lane.

(Oh, I had Restilyn at my dermatologist Thursday. The acne meds are doing well too.)

Okay ladies, when you get older, fight the inevitable! Try to stay looking young on the inside and outside. Remember, love and show kindness. Don't be bitter. That makes you look old.
