Well our hostess, Jane has just lost 40lbs... what she couldn't have waited until after I had visited!! She does kick boxing and absolutely loves it. That could be a whole heap of fun. Bet you work out a lot of mental stuff when you are kicking the **** out of stuff.

Well, I have started the day with a bowl of cornflakes. I don't plan to have a drink (of wine) until possibly the weekend, I will see. I will also take the dog for a walk some time today, although I have tons of laundry to do.

I really need to keep focused on becoming healthier. My ankles are a bit swollen and my knees hurt like heck. I know that this is directly linked to being overweight. I also noticed how much healthier Shelley C's hair is now that she has lost weight, and I would like that too.

OK that' it for now.

boo hoo 2

What the Hay!!! stupid blog.........

I was trying to say that Dorothy - whom has lost a lot of weight, was telling me that journal ling everything she eats has been key to her success. That and lots of water. So I am going to buy myself another book to keep track of my food intake. At least buying yet another journal is cheaper than paying for yet another diet program!! Actually going back to curves is proving to be a good idea. There are lots of supportive ladies there.

My nose is blocked.

I am going to keep on track today. Exercising was good cos it unplugged my head. When I get home I am going to start trying to get the rrrv ready.

boo hoo

Well I have a cold!!! And its making me cranky!!

I went to curves this morning, where I had a chat (yes while I was working out!!) with

curves

I've signed up!! Thanks to Annie, cos if I hadn't said that I would meet her there, I wouldn't have gone.... You know what tho? it feels good to be up and about with some sort of mission for the day. I had to get on the scale and have my measurements taken - yes, the word obese was mentioned! ouch!! But, I am following my food plan today and that's that!

water skiing

Well, after trying to haul my big bum out of the water and onto the ski's.... I feel a bit more motivated to stay focused on improving my weight and overall health, especially when I discovered that I weighed more than Rob who is over 6ft and pretty solid. ugh

So when I got up this morning, I made a food plan. I have bought veggies and salad fixings, fruit and meat, which I prepackaged into the right serving sizes. I feel very good about that. I have stuck to the plan but, for a bowl of raspberries and sugar, oh and a glass or two of wine. Tad Stocking was here - what else can I say!!!! Even so, I know that I have eaten a whole lot less than usual.

Tomorrow morning I am going back to curves with Annie. I think it will be good for me (that's my very small positive voice speaking). My knees hurt quite a bit - I really need to get fit and shed as much weight as I can. Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Yes, healthy lifestyle here I come!!!

the 360

Well I went to see if I could find some board shorts that would fit me this afternoon. Before buying them, I tried them on (I don't usually try stuff on at the store) Oh my!!! And how do you think I dealt with this experience...... I went to the pub for dinner and ate way to much, not only that I was the only one who drank alcohol!! Why? Why?

the vunduu speaks!!

I am quite excited that I have a blog - even tho I don't particularly like writing!! But, I am going to use blogging as a tool to help me keep on track. My mission - weight loss and improved health and mobilty. I don't want to be an older peep before my time!

well here goes:

July 31st, 2009

weight 237lbs ( yes I know that 's awful!!)

Step 1. Gran, Kay and I have committed to weigh in every Thursday.

Step 2. I am going to follow our old sure slim food plan with Gran

Step 3. I have made a plan to go back to Curves with Annie, starting this Tuesday

I had a physical a month ago and the quack said I really need to do something about my weight. He suggested that I go to a pyschiatrist, so that he can help me change habits I have been unable too (or unwilling to) change on my own. Although I think my lack of interest in pretty much everything, especially exercise, is related to peri-menopause. I know I need help to change. I visited Dr. Wooder last week Friday at which time we chatted about pharmacological help. So today he prescribed a very low dose of Ritalin!!!! This will help my energy levels, suppress my appetite, cravings and impact my mood. So we will see. I know it takes a while to re-establish positive habits in your life, so I am hopeful this is what I need to help me do that. My ultimate goal is to be 'drug' free, slimmer and healthier!!

I would like to weigh 170lbs and be a much more active person.
