Topic : A FRESH PERSPECTIVE TO ACHIEVE WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.....

Long story short...misplaced some papers and looked all day...and found them about 4:00 p.m.  whew...thought I was going to have to "leave town"...lol

SOOOOO took dh to work at 5:00...took myself to Applebee's for House Steak and coffee (need to pick up dh at 9:00) and skipped the Bread Pudding.  Then took myself to the coffee shop and had my Cinnamon Tea and skipped the beautiful "goodies" on display... very tempting...lol

THEN...went to Center (just in time) at 7:40 and walked until 8:00 (closing on Sat.) and walked 1 mile.

NOW I have to get ready to pick up dh...  (that's my story in a "nutshell" and I'm sticking to it...lol)

P.S.  I'll read when I get back.

I SAW HOW I SPELLED GLAD BEFORE THE POST WENT OUT AND I HIT CANCEL BUT IT WAS TOO LATE...........................LOL

GKAD......................................NOT FAST ENOUGH ON THE DRAW TO STOP IT

We have a new beginning ladies!  I'm ready and eager and have begun my day on the right path for success.

DH and I arose this morning very early and walked with a Leslie Sansone Video.  Then we had a healthy breakfast of 1/2 banana, 1 c. cereal, 1 c f/f milk, and black coffee.  (I also made sure that we took our vitamins and drank a nutritional supplement that we have included in our lives)  Oh, and I've drank 3 of my waters for the day.

I've washed and folded one load of laundry, the second is in the dryer and the third is in the washer.  I've also washed the breakfast dishes, taken my shower, did my hair, and put on my face.

So far, it's been a very productive day and it's only a little after 8:00 A.M. here.  The possibilities are endless - LOL!

Hugs,

I will make small goals so i do not fail.. As i gather my momentum again, I kick a**  my own! giggles  I'll shoot  for 30 lbs off by end of May. I do not see this as unreasonable. I have a new Leslie Sansone tape walking of the pounds #3  for abs.. I'll work  on that. You may or may not know. I have developed RA, Neuropathy in hands  and feet,and an r ray Monday showed another kidney stone.* I thought the back ache was from moving .. packing boxes etc..

I now can concentrate on me totally! as i NOW live alone in my  very own apt. I have no one to blame but me.. so I need to get off my duff and take my meds.. and walk this body back to a healthier me. I do have my edge* Tony Little's.. this is bad weather or an alternate exercise  for me..OK i wanted to ck in before i went to bed. I am returning to church tomorrow am. and i am getting my priorities in order.Hugs n love to all of you!  SuziQ

It's great that you've gotten in more walking and are sounding better:).

As for the sleeping:

I'm working on it, and it is improving, but that's why it is one of my *Action Plan" activities, and at the top of the PLANNING.  I had too many years of interrupted sleep taking care of Dad, and that created the problem I am having now...I think.  Before that, I slept just fine.

The only reason I've ever had for not sleeping through the nights was when my children were young.  Once they began sleeping all night, except for when they were sick, my good night's sleep returned, until the past 5 years.  My sleep pattern, for whatever reason, nose-dived.  I usually manage to get to sleep, however, after 3 or 4 hours wake up and then doze and wake up, etc. and so forth for the remainder of the night and then must get up at 6:00 a.m. and go to work.  The women that I work with, who are my age or older, and my older sisters who are all in their mid to late 60's now (I'm 48), tell me it comes with the age I'm at.  Kind of like a part of pre-monopause and menopause?  They say they have all been through and/or continue to go through the same thing and before they hit "the age", they slept like a baby.  I've tried so many different things, except for prescription sleep aids which I will avoid at all cost, to no avail.  On the weekends, I try and get some extra rest and that's about as good as it gets for me.  If you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear it as I really respect your insight!
