Overcoming little by little

You know how you're just going through life and then someone comes along and it hits you. The thing they have that you've been missing. Well, I finally found another clue thanks to my great friend Diane. You're probably wondering about the clue. I've been trying to decide how to decipher the clue as the clue has helped some people like Diane and it's also had its share of critics.
However I also read in the Book Fit for Life that most diets work for everybody and that once they go off them then they have the problem because it's the doing the real life thing after the diet that gets the pounds back on.
I think that anything in the world is possible yes even me losing more weight than gaining it back but it depends on the thoughts you think. If it's attainable, then it is, if it's not, then it's not.
So I will work with this clue, it's definitely attainable, but the point will be is my attitude enough to work with it.
Sorry for the meandering.
Have a great day. Looking forward to sleeping in on the weekend

Re:Fudge

As a late Christmas present, my Grandma from Saskatchewan sent me a pan of fudge. Because I have not ate her fudge in at least 8 years, I thought it would be a great treat. And yes I ate the whole pan and yes it only took 3 days, surprising though, I'm already back to the weight I was before I even ate the fudge. So what gives? Still doing the food log and exercise log but I don't really see too many patterns yet. I'm not doing the mood thing in the log, maybe that would make the difference?????
Hmmm.
Something to consider. Thank you Grandma for the awesome fudge.
Yours truly,

Days of Discovery

Been around to the library to try some new fitness videos. The lastest Frontside by Jillian Michaels and Balance Ball by Gaiam. Tried each one of them once so far, both look like really good workouts. I prefer the balance ball one so I may have to see if I can buy it on the internet. Not sure it's that effective. It is for beginners but I guess I'm in a little not much better shape than a beginner. The balance ball one is really fun though. Have an appt next week to go see if anything can be done about my thyroid now that I've been eating way more veggies (yay, huh) and exercising I don't want to keep letting my efforts to lose weight not make any difference so off to the doctor I go.
Have a good day everyone.

Wandering and finding

Opal and I were in Zellers not too long ago and what did we find? Body fat analyzer so Opal took it up to the scanner and yep it said 50 cents so being the usual splurger I am I bought it. Took it home and found out not good. Bad shape. So embarassing I won't even tell you what it was but the good news is I found I'm down .4% body fat than awhile ago.
Still trying to find the best exercise for me, I like deep water aquasize the best but I hate going out in the cold to go do it. Yes, I know excuses, excuses especially after just reading an article that said passive people need to a force to get them motivated. ouch! sounds too much like me.
Oh well the fight goes on. at least I don't have to be in the malls right now, got my shopping done 4 months ago.
Have a good Christmas.

Technology yay arrgh!

Well as of this last post my computer has now fried. So I'm not quite sure when I'll get back to my blog.
But of course I'm sure there's a computer right around the corner.
Have a great day.

Re:good news

Yep, I received some really really good news yesterday. I'm also back down 2 pounds. (Hopefully this time it stays off!!) It's interesting how you wait for something for so long you begin to doubt it will ever come and then God throws you a new way of doing things. Awesome, I had originally thought there was only one way to get my goal done and there comes a man of God to tell me I can think outside the box I just put myself in.
On that note I should probably get myself out to exercise and leave the box I put my body in (namely my house.)
Have a good evening and don't give up hope.
That's all for now.

Meanderings and wanderings

Hey, long time no blog. Wow I can't believe it's been so long. Yes, well the battle to lose weight still goes on, again lost inches but no weight. Looking back over the goals and realized I'm not quite where I thought I'd be when I first started this blog.
Good news, learning how to cook (yay!) and inviting people over for supper. I also invited a friend out for tea, at the new place I love to hang out.
Did manage to go for 4 walks in the past 7 days but bowed out the last 2, maybe even today for I'm on a mission to do something good for someone today, therefore I'm volunteering my time tonight.
Guess life isn't as bad as it could be. Actually it's not that bad at all.
Thank you God that I've been able to do little things rather than nothing at all.
Here's to a good winter and whatever else God's got up his sleeve.
