September 2010 Blog Posts

Don't you just love Autumn?  I sure do.  I think it is my most favorite season.  However, where I live, we have no fall colors.  I am originally from Ohio where we had the most beautiful fall foliage.  Here in the Florida panhandle...nothing except maybe a few bradford pears that have some color and the oaks we have turn brown-in December!!  At least you can feel it in the air in the mornings, and of course, tis the season for football!  Love going to the high school games on Friday nights-not just to watch the games, but to see my children play in...

Out of sight does not necessarily mean out of mind.  I may have been laying low the last few days, but I have been "workin it".  I still check in several times a day to see how everyone is doing.  I love to read the current blogs, and catch up on all team news... I got my walk in this morning (2.5 miles) and have done so for the last 4 days.  Still watching my diet.  This morning, the scale was kind...I was at 172.2!!  18 lbs gone since I started this journey!!  I set my first mini goal to be 170 lbs.  ...

I was able to walk for the last 3 days.  It felt good.  Did about 2.5 miles each day, but I know that I need to increase the distance or go faster...Time is what keeps me from walking longer...Pain keeps me from going faster!! LOL...  It was so very humid this morning, and the temps have not really cooled down much. Still getting into the low 90's during the day.  Got on the scale this morning.  174.6.  I think that I maybe be under that 175.  I was 175 yesterday.  Still need to work on the water thing, but still...

Gracious, I can hardly believe that it has been almost a week.  I have been so busy and overwhelmed lately.  Not to mention sick.  I walked about 4 times this last week, but got sidelined over the weekend and yesterday with illness.  Am better now, but need to take better care of myself and pay attention.  Since my last post, we lost all the kittens, which was sad, but gained 4 mini dachshunds!!  They are so adorable!!  My granddaughter is now 6 weeks old and we finally got everyone settled in the house.  My Amanda who is preggo has had...

OK, I am not going to get my hopes up too much, but the scale this morning said 174.4 lbs. !!  I will wait and see if that holds true for a couple of days, but it is so very cool!!   Did not get my walk in this morning.  I did not get to bed until nearly 3 am. this morning.  I was writing a letter and wanted to get it right.  I probably wrote it over and over 5 times.  It was one of those tough letters that is hard to write, very emotional, but needed to be done.  So I...

Had a great day yesterday, however did not walk yesterday-was playing with my new grandbaby!!  I was able to get the walking in today, 2.5 miles.  The weather is getting so much nicer-was 70 this morning.  What a difference a few degrees make, plus humidity was not too bad.  I am still struggling with water intake, but was careful with the diet.  175.6 on the scale this morning!!  I am so looking forward to watching the scale keep on dropping down!!  What a rush!! One the benefits that I have noticed in this journey is the extra energy.  And, when you...

New Week!!  Did not make my goal of 175 by the 6th, was at 176lbs, but it is understandable...My daughter and new granddaughter moved back home on Friday and it is wonderful!  We spent the weekend getting them situated and I did not get walks in because I was helping her with Milana.  It is going to be so hard going to work when all I want to do is play with the baby.  This morning, I was able to walk my 2.5 miles and plan on trying to get out there everyday.  Gotta get back into the plan of...

Good Morning!!  Today is a beautiful day!  Jumped up this morning at 5am and got my walk in!!  Feels like it has been forever!!  Love these sketcher shoes!  It looks like we are in a stretch of great weather, so I will be hitting the roads every morning.  I sure am hoping my September is alot better than my August was for walking and weightloss.  I was just way to busy and overwhelmed with the J O B.  The scale is not my friend this morning...176.4...grrr...  I have only myself to blame for that.  Not walking, drinking enough water and maybe,...
