quit playin

ok readers,
   If it hasn't been blatantly obvious, I have definitely been slacking on my dieting. I have been cramming junk and more junk in to my stomach. I have no excuses. I have allowed the stress in my life to overpower my ability to think straight in front of a pan of rice krispie treats (and many other delicious and disgusting foods). I have to make a change in my life. My asthma is getting worse; I would love to blame that on allergies alone...but who am I kidding. Walking up the stairs should not require a 10 minutes cool down. I shouldn't feel like I am on the verge of a heart attack when I walk my dog....Who is still chunky. I shouldn't have nightmares about getting diabetes because I like snacking. I have a wonderful husband and high hopes of having children in the coming year or so....I also have at least 2 weddings to be in within the next 7 months.

As I have stated before "nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels" -Bob Harper. I have tried it on my own and failed...again. So here is my plan. I will make a post every day that reads like this:

Breakfast:

    Stress level (1-10)

Snack:
    Stress level (1-10)

Mood Morning:


Lunch:

    Stress level (1-10)


Snack:
    Stress level (1-10)


Mood Afternoon:
 




Dinner:
    Stress level (1-10)




Mood Night:


Exercise for the day:


 I am asking for my readers to please take part in my weight loss journey. I would love feed back on my postings; encouragement, tips, prayer etc.

For those of you in town, I would love a partner to exercise with. My schedule permits exercise after 4pm most days. I prefer to exercise before 7pm, but I open to other times. I love to walk, swim, weight lift, and Zumba. I can show you how to weight lift or do Zumba, if you are interested in learning. The weight lifting I know how to do is for toning (not building I would like to run, however I have pretty bad asthma, so I am VERY slow and would require a patient running buddy. Again, I am open to different forms of exercise.




For those of you out of town, I would love info on different types of exercises you are trying, fun/healthy recipes, how your weight loss journey is going (if you have one), etc.




thank you all for sticking with me!

oh happy day!

Hello readers!
     I am pleased to announce that we are getting a house! yay! We put in an offer on Saturday and it was approved that same day. Pending an inspection and appraisal, we will have a house. The crazy part is...ALL THE PAPER WORK. There are so many things that I didn't think would matter...that do. For example, Alex sold his car in Puerto Rico through a cash transaction. there is no true paper trail, so we had to back track and get the guy who bought it to sign a bunch of papers...I'm sure he thinks we're shady. Also, when I asked about the garage sale we plan on doing Saturday, I was told that I needed to make sure that I documented everything. *sigh*....and that's the easy stuff. The good news is that we are actually ahead of the game; so even though we are young, we are at least on top of things.

On another note, my mom had some health problems this last week and failed to inform us that she was in the hospital for 7 days until after she was discharged...that was really stressful. I have definitely been indulging. Lord save me!

Tonight, Alex and I rented Just Go With It and The Dilemma. We are going to relax and watch movies. I need to calm my nerves. I feel like I may emotionally eat all the chocolate in this small town if I don't...And I am not a big fan of chocolate, so something is truly wrong.
