Thank goodness its a new day today.  Yesterday I had to have 6 teeth pulled…YES 6…OMG.  I thought it was going to be 4.  Two were impacted wisdom teeth.  The other 4 will be replaced with implants or bridges.  Thank goodness it is my back teeth.

There is a really positive side to having teeth pulled.  My smile will finally be nice again.  And I’m going to get a huge jumpstart on losing weight! I can’t really eat much.  I’ll focus on lots of Slim Fast, V8 Juice, V8 Fusion, etc…  I can have soup and oatmeal.  Not too many choices which is a good thing!! LOL!! 

Believe it or not I’m losing that desire for food.  I put my jeans on yesterday morning and just cryed like a baby.  I am sooooooooooooooo sick of being fat and feeling uncomfortable in my clothes.  I refuse to buy anything new unless its a smaller size.  

Hope everyone is having a happy healthy day out there.  Don’t give up…we all take some steps backwards and we can’t beat ourselves up for that.  Plunge forward!!! Lose that weight!! WE ALL CAN DO IT!!

Letter Z — Zoom to a happy place when bad memories or sorrow rears its ugly head.  Let nothing interfere with your goals.  Instead, focus on your abilities, your dreams, and a brighter tomorrow.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life!!! Everything went perfect!!  I’m officially enrolled in cardiac rehab and will being my first session Aug 20.  My slot is from 9:30 - 10:30  Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  On Friday Aug 27 hubby and I will attend an all day seminar called Risky Business

1. Risk Factors
2. Coping With Heart Disease
3. Stress Management
4. Nutrition I and II

5. Pharmacy

Its all covered and we even get a free lunch.  Heart Healthy you can be sure of!!! LOL!!  Life is good…

I didn’t stop at McDonalds on the way home…nope..behaved myself!!  Stopped at Meijers for some grocerys….found a fresh fruit cup under $2.00. Yum…watermelon, cantelope, honeydew…cold, sweet!

I stumbled on this page telling about 100 calorie snacks.  Hubby and I are always checking labels when shopping.  One of the snacks on the list was Rold Gold Pretzels.  They come in a few flavors, Chedder Cheese, Honey Mustard, Honey Wheat.  You can have 20 of these mini delights at 100 calories I had pretzels with my fruit!

Ok..I’m praying everyone is having a blessed afternoon…keep smiling girls!!! The weight is rolling off everyone!! and if not today…it will!!

You have it easily in your power to increase the worlds happiness now.  How?  By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged.  Perhaps you will forget tommorrow the kind words you say today but the recepient may cherrish those words over a lifetime!

  Its 6:15 a.m.  I can hear this loud rumbling type of noise.  Is it a thunderstorm?  Down to the other end of the house I go.  Haven’t seen my husband…..soooooooo guess what he’s doing??? ON THE TREADMILL!!! OMG!!! I was sooooooooo proud of him!! Last night he walked for 20 minutes.  He works at a computer all day and is very sedentary.  Hes struggling with his weight also….our bet is still on to see who loses 10 lbs first!!  Its nice to have him on my side.  Yesterday I walked 70 minutes!!! 3 set of walking…1 - 20 mins   2 - 30 mins   3 - 20 mins 

I also kept right on track with my WW points.  Feeling really positive and focused right now.

Best news….CARDIAC REHAB!!! got the call yesterday.  I will go tommorrow morning for orientation.  My insurance does cover 90%  It is $100.00 per session, so I will have to pay 10.00 each visit.  Its gotta happen!! It is worth the money for sure.

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping the positive determined attitude.  Life is way to short…give someone a hug today!

Letter Y — Yield to committment.  If you stay on track and remain dedicated, you’ll find success at the end of the road.

Hey did anyone see Fat March last night?  we did, and enjoyed it alot.  Can’t wait for Biggest Loser to come back!

  Its a new day.  It is THE day to begin again.  No more beating myself up about bad choices.  Today is my day and I WILL succeed!!!

8:30 a.m.  already walked 20 minutes  (will walk 3 times a day for 20 mins)  Already had breakfast~~Milk Chocolate Slim Fast…YUM YUM!!!  only 4 WW points!

Lunch and dinner all planned out.  I wasn’t able to do the whole week, ran out of time but I did get 2 days done.  As long as I’m prepared the night before.

Unfortunately my weigh in was bad.  But how could I expect anything else when I’ve been cheating on the eating.  I started BuddySlim at 204….went down to 197.  Today I was 201.  Ok…thats it…it sucks but thats my new starting point.

I wish everyone a happy healthy day out there.  Hope the weekends were fun for you all…mine was perfect!  I’m so blessed to have the most perfect husband ever!! Thank you god for that!

Letter — X  X-ray.  Look deep inside the hearts of those around you and you’ll see the goodness and beauty within.

  Good morning everyone! Sunday morning 7:15.  Nice early start to my day!!  Hope everyones weekend is going well.

We had an incredible day yesterday.  Hubby and I went to 2 different nurserys looking for good bargains on plants and trees.  Sales are usually around 40 - 50% off this time of year.  We spent 24.00 and got a beautiful red leaved tree (not sure the name) 4 flocks,  and a few perrineals.  Its fun to see our yard take shape.

The best part of the day was going to the Movies!! We saw the Simpsons.  It was a ball!! Simple, plain fun.  Nice airconditioning, Diet Pepsi..and only a little popcorn!!

Today I will make up my menus for the week.  Its going to take a little time to do this, but I believe it will be well worth it.  Wishing everyone good luck with their goals.

Letter W — Work hard every day to be the best person you can be, but never feel guilty if you fall short of your goals.  Every sunrise offers a second chance.

May you always have Love to Share~~~Health to Spare~~~Friends that Care.

   I woke up so happy this morning.  Don’t you just love the weekends?  My hubby is outside working in the yard and I’m enjoying my computer time.

I had my recheck with the cardiologist.  He feels the increase in medication is going to do the trick.  He made a recommendation for me to join in Cardiac Rehab.  I’m so excited about that.  Waiting for rehab to call and get me started.  It is possible my insurance won’t cover it…..so keeping fingers crossed here.  Regardless I will go, even if we have to pay.  I WILL lose this weight…..I WILL be able to exercise….I WILL not give up this battle.

For next week I decided to make out a complete menu.  I will have no surprises or excuses.  It will all be on paper and my points will be counted out properly.  No restaurants at all.  When you realize your temptations you can avoid them!

Ok…lots of smiles and positive thoughts coming to you today.  Have a blessed day…do something nice for someone you love!

Letter V –Value the friends and family members who’ve supported and encouraged you, and be there for them as well.

I am not doing well staying focused at all this week…blah…blah….blah…so many obstacles.  Everytime I turn around I’m hit with eating out with either husband or my children.  My choices haven’t been good choices…darn I wish I didn’t love food so much!! I hate to admit that, but food really is my worst enemy.  I still have my kitchen totally junk free and it will remain that way.  Its just the eating out thats so tough.

Oh well…never quit trying I say.  I will win!  My husbands brother and wife are taking us to DisneyLand  in October of 2008. I will be in a bathing suit for that!!!! YES I WILL!!

Hey BB fans…and SYTYCD fans…back to back episodes tonight!!! YIPPEE!!!  I’ll be eating plain popcorn for my snack!  Hope all the good buddys here are doing well…stay happy,  life is to short to be miserable!

Letter U — Use your gifts to your best ability.  Talent that’s wasted has no value.  Talent that’s used will bring unexpected rewards.

Exciting day for me today!! I’m on my way out the door to spend the day with my sweet baby grandson!!! and of course my daughter and I’ll see my son as well.  I’ve been trying to think of a healthy restaurant to eat at.  Eating is always a struggle for me!!

I did make it through using my weight watchers points yesterday.  Must admit, I was still hungry.  This will get some getting used to.

Hope everyone has a happy and blessed day out there.  Smile and hug someone!!!  (you’ll feel so happy)

Letter T — Try  Even when your dreams seem impossible to reach, try anyway.  You’ll be amazed by what you can accomplish.
