Challenge ~ ~ No Night Snacking ~ ~ Down 28 Pounds

32.jpg

Its FRIDAY!!!  We all have our own happy dance, how about a TGIF DANCE !!! LOL…I’m dancing away here :)

This journey has been sooooooooooo long.  Stop—Start—-Stop—-Start—-Fall—-Get Up…and so on and so on. :(

The challenge of the here and now is night snacking.  My hubby and I ALWAYS had snacks with tv.  We’ve tried the celery and carrots with dip, laughing cow cheese on lowfat crackers, sugar free jello, pudding….etc….you get the picture.

Last night I’m so proud to say….NO SNACKING FOR EITHER OF US!!!!!!!!!  Yuppers…only Sobie 0 calorie water.  I did have one small teaspoon of Black Cherry with Vanilla Swirl Yogurt (Edy’s) so I had something in my stomach before taking my medications. :)

So it can be done.  I know Nancy was having a lot of problems with this too, and I’m sure many more.

I saw such a good weigh in this morning, and I do believe having nothing after 5:00 does work :)

Thank you all for the Pedometer info.  Its on my list for the weekend, can’t wait!!

Feburary 9th - - - - - - - - 225 pounds  Uuuggghhh

May 28 - - - - - - - - - - - -  197 pounds

This morning while reading blogs I came across one that said Dream who you want to be.  So true, and I’m now dreaming of the gramma in the pool with her grandchildren!!! IT WILL HAPPEN!!

I see sadness and struggling today….also a dear friend of mine is going through the worst time ever.  It would be so nice if everyone could take a couple minutes to pray for those in need.  I believe there is power in prayer.  Thank you.

Love you all…….sending hugs…..and wishing you all a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!!

Pedometers ~~I need some suggestions please

5.gif A  BuddySlim hello to all out there :)   Hope everybodys Memorial Day Weekend was nice….did we all eat healthy?  Lets hope so, weigh in day is tommorrow  Eeekkkssss.  LOL!!!

I always heard about pedometers.  Before I really took time to research them, I thought I get some advice from those here who use them. 

Which company makes the best?  are they accurate? and how about the cost.  I need something afforadable.  Exercise seems to be getting more difficult for me.  I need to kick it up….

PLEASE KICK ME IN THE YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!  I’m in a rut, and giving up is not even an option.

Thanks everyone!! and have a healthy day :) smile.jpg smile image by ilovedan_09

TGIF buddys :)  Is everyone ready for the 3 day weekend?  I know I am, so much work to do in the yard.  Having a big garage sale with my daughter….busy busy busy :)

Its been a long time for a blog, and I haven’t been in to comment on other blogs…please forgive me for that.

Love each and every one of you.

I received a beautiful booster note today, and I’ve always lived by this, but I was reminded today of it once again and I want to share.

Gods only gives you what you can handle :)

To all the Moms out there, the soon to be moms, the new moms, the not ready yet to be a mom, and the seasoned moms…..remember we are all moms in some way!!! to our nieces, nephews, or our pets!!!!

This is a big weekend.  Probably will be full of temptations all over.

My boys said “Mom what do you want for Mothers Day”   I said NO CHOCOLATE please!!!  told them to use their imagination :)  I want surprise’s, I love surprises.  Lets see what they come up with.  he he he….Angela is a sweet mother also, so I will follow tradition.  My mother always recognized me on Mothers Day with a nice check, or a nice gift.  But the day never went by without both of us being treated as Queens :)      :)

I’ve picked up a card for Angela from me…and also one from the kids to her.  Talan will give his little signature, and Angela will cry.  I found a cute bag (could be used for anything)  with a spot for pictures on the front.  Its plastic with an opening.  She loves her kids so much, and for her I know she would put pictures of the babies in the plastic pocket for all to see :)

Mothers Day isn’t just  about the gifts.  It  is the celebration of being a mother, or having a wonderful mother and taking time to be together.

I’m hoping every one has a great weekend or Mothers Day which ever it is.  Watch those goodies girls!!! 

Have fun and take care until Monday :)

Love & blessings  to you all!!

I have a New Friend….Let me Introduce My scale!!!!

View ImageI’m looking at my new profile pic for BuddySlim, made special by my husband….but I can hardly see it  LOL!!! going to grab a magnifying glass!!!  We’ll have to work on that.

In for just a quick blog today.  The official weigh-in for my team is tommorrow.  But the blabber mouth that I am :)  can’t keep this news in!!!

I have finally reached the 200 mark on the scale!!!!  Who would have thought this would be such  a success, especially when I once weighed 110.  YIKEEES!!  And after having 3 children, my weight stayed right around the 150 mark.

14.gifLMAO…just had to stick Confucius in….LMAO!!!  Love it!!

But to me this is HUGE.  With so much love and support all around me, and also some good discipline from myself,  I’m so happy to say I’ve lost the first 25 pounds.35.gif

I just want to wish everyone a great Friday…TGIF!!! and better yet a healthy, happy weekend :)

I’m feeling like a million bucks today….actually I have since I started seriously in February.

A little tired some days , but it

get easier, I promise!!! I owe my husband the world for being so supportive!!! He’s incredible….God brought us together and I couldn’t be more thankful than I am today.  Together we work out….sometimes alone, and sometimes together.

Looking forward to biking this weekend…finally some sunshine!!!

Thank you to all you faithful loving BuddySlimmers out there.  I’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime, and I’m so thankful for that.  I’m thankful for the support and love :)

Lots of love to you all,

Jane :)
