Gracious, where do I begin??  It has been awhile, but I am ready to get back to where I was.  Things have been so crazy and hectic here at my house.  My daughter Amanda's water broke at 31 week and she stayed in the hospital for 1 week till Chloe arrived at 32 weeks.   I was living at the hospital with her that week and when she had to leave without Chloe, we were going 2-3 times a day to see Chloe.  I am so exhausted.  Chloe came home late Tuesday evening, she is now 3 weeks old and weighs just over 5 lbs.  She is so tiny!  So now I have 2 grandbabies here at home with us.  Milana, who is 3 months and Chloe.  My beautiful office has now become a beautiful nursery!! 

As for my weightloss plan to be 160 by Thanksgiving...not gonna happen.  My weight today is 171.  With Thanksgiving only 3 weeks away, I hope to maybe be 165??  Going to start my walking again by Monday.  With the time change, it will be lighter outside at 5:30 am.  Oh, but it is so much colder....gonna hate that...Guess I wil need to bundle up.  I have been so tired lately, and I know it is because of how hectic everything is around here and not walking everyday and  my diet.  I still  have been keeping to better choices, but I have not been good with the water and have had a few diet sodas.  Still no burgers....

So the Plan??  Get back to walking 2.5 miles at least 5 days a week. That seems to work the best for me...the biggest issue will be the cooler temps.  I hate cold weather!!   Get back to drinking tons of water, avoid fast food and eat small meals during the day.  Keep my calorie intake to under 1200 a day and avoid fattening foods--gonna be tough during the holidays.  Set my goal of 165 by Thanksgiving and 160 by the end of the year.  I feel that would be attainable.  Also, get back to posting and keeping track.

My life has been so crazy these last few weeks, I am so ready to get back into a routine!!  Wish me luck and I will be encouraging all my buddies the same successes on their journey!!

Rock on People!  Lisa
