Tuesday…3 days until Friday!!!! TGIT !! lol!!!

Hows everybody doing today??????  Its crazy how my mood is up and down.  Yesterday was so sad, but today I’m up and ready to tackle anything

Working very hard on this 1 pound.  When its gone, I will have lost 30 pounds!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! amazing for me, I’ve tried for so long and finally I’m accomplishing what I need to do in life

Nothing much to report for today, just a typical day.  Vacation is just around the corner so I am planning my strategies  LOL  My mother in law loves to take us out to eat, so I have to be VERY VERY careful!!! 

But I have no doubt I can do it.  I refuse to gain weight just for 1 weeks vacation of bad choices.  I seem to be past the stage of  “living to eat”  I am currently in the “eat to live” stage and it agrees with me very well

Just sending out good vibes for today and hoping all are well.  Remember you are all strong…we all have our days which are bad, but we can overcome those and get healthy.   JUST DO IT!!!

As always, love you all and have a FANTASTIC DAY!!!

Hey Buddys!!! Hope everyone’s Wednesday is a good one.  The sun is nice and bright here in Michigan, the flower gardens all planted and I’m ready for summer  and vacations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if you look deep down inside can you find out why you became overweight?  They say people overweight become this way because of lifes experiences and situations. 

I’ve realized along time ago food was comfort for me.  Then cigerettes, then drugs, then alcohol. 

Finally at 49, all of my vices are gone, even the horrible cravings for food :)  Except the darn night snacking. :(  HELP!!!

Maybe if you really search for what has been bothering you…and why you have been gaining weight, you’ll find the answer…..deal with that, and start fresh with your Weight Loss Journey!!!

My story is sh0rt, I was adopted (never thought it bothered me) but all in all someone didn’t want me….I had a horrible abusive childhood.  Hung out with the wrong crowd, did the drugs, married an abusive husband….etc…..

Self medication was my game, today healthy eating is the only solution for my life.  I really hope everyone out there can find that place…the place that will let things go, or allow you to deal with them and go full force towards your new healthy lifestyle!!!

IF I CAN DO THIS, I KNOW YOU ALL CAN DO IT TOO!!!

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.

Today is a special day and I just had to see it down in writing.  I have finally reached the “under 200 pound goal”  YAHOO!!! I am at 198.2 this morning and couldn’t be happier.

Been playing around for couple of years now, and NOW I KNOW IT CAN BE DONE!!!    If I can do it (the queen of “yeah I’ll do it tommorrow”) then I know YOU can do it!!!  I’ve seen so many of you and everyone else can too!!!

    Sooooooooooooooo I’m heading off ready to do yet another Happy Dance today!!!!

Have a Fabulous Memorial Day Weekend….and  hope the Canada Days were Wonderful!!!

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

Howdeeeeeeeee Buddys!!!!  Hows your Tuesday going?

It is so beautiful here and I am fully charged..LOL!

Woke up at 6:oo a.m., did 30 minutes on the bike, 15 on the treadmill, and 15 in strength training….Yuppers, you heard it right…STRENGTH TRAINING.  Me??????????? OMG>>>>its a total miracle.Just a rookie here, learning from many sites online.  We are also delving into Yoga….what is going on!!!

Well the scale  needs to go down 3 pounds, then official I’ll be on fire.

Too see 199 on that scale will be a miracle.

So everybody, if you  are so close to your goals, just STEP IT UP!!! and you can do anything!!!

DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH THOSE CHOCOLATES!!!!!  just stand back and take a deep breath………breathe……….good job

Okey Dokey…later gator….he he he he

Love you all sooooooooooooooo much

Good afternoon all you buddyslimmers out there Do you have sunshine where you are today?  We finally do after 3 days of rain, dark clouds, cold weather and plain YUCK, we have a beautiful sunny day here.  Can’t help but smile when its sunny

Started out a normal day here, got up…got on the scale         and I was so excited I couldn’t stay still.  I even went to tell my doggies Chloe and Toby the good news (I swear dogs understand)  I have finally lost 20 pounds….YES 20 POUNDS!!!!  I still have 45 to go, but I’m happy because I finally stuck to my plan and stayed with exercising and it is finally paying off

I have a drawer or 2 stuffed with favorite clothes of the past and future :)  I bet you all have that same drawer……I’ve designated part of my closet for the same thing.

I looked around and found one of my most favorite pair of jeans.  Haven’t fit in them forever :( 

Sadly and embarrasing to say I’ve been in a 20/22 jeans.  My favorite pair was an 18   YES AN 18!!!!  and I can fit into them!!!!  sure there a little snug, but I know they will be comfortable in a few days. I am so proud.  I feel so much more confidant now and the motivation is even stronger.

So Please buddys I know how hard this journey is, I’ve been on BuddySlim for 2 years and I just recently had that “AHA “moment.  I want to be healthy and live a long life….at the rate I was going, it wouldn’t be such a long life.  I love healthy foods, right now my favorite thing is finding new healthy recipes.

I know you all can do it.  It has to come from within first.  Make it your hobby…..make your new healthy journey fun and competitive.  For me I decided to make it my “Full Time Job”  and its working

This is a big week for my husband and I.  We celebrate anniversary/birthdays.  We went out and bought a new bike for each of us!!! Were ready to go!!!

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for always being there for me.  For all the love and support I’ve gotten from this awesome site.  Couldn’t have done it without you.

Faith changes hope into reality.

A big shout out….to all the good buddys here today!!!   Its finally WEDNESDAY!!!

The sun is warm and bright today, can’t help but smile. 

Its a little late for this question, but how did we all do over Easter weekend?  I hope you all were successful and made good choices.

I did great at dinner, but in the evening when all the company was gone, my husband and I ran to the bedroom and ate the remainder of Easter Candy….BAD JANE…..BAD ALAN….LMAO!!! oh well, darn it tasted so good.  I forgot how much I love jelly beans!!!

So there are consequences for our actions……and mine were bad :(   I gained 2 pounds.  I wanted to just cry, but nope got back on my bike and walked on the treadmill and stuck to my plan.

This will be an interesting Friday weigh-in for me!!!

Always remember if we gain a little, we gain a little, its all a part of the journey.  I’m learning now that I can’t beat myself up.  What for…how silly!!!!!!!!  I just need to concentrate and make my journey of eating healthy and exercise a full time job:)

So please remember buddys…enjoy the day…enjoy the people…and enjoy yourself.

Blessings and hugs to you all

Jane

To all my buddys here….a big super duper hug…..and a pat on the back for all the hard work.  You all just amaze me and lift my spirits.  Your determination and strength is unstoppable.  You are truly my inspiration to lose this weight.  I know God is holding my hand as always giving me that needed strength to get through this battle,  but you ALLof you  are encouraging me, and for that I thank you. ((((((((((((Hugs to everyone)))))))))))))))))) 

I am having a difficult time getting my exercise logged?  I thought I had done it in the past, but I can’t seem to understand it this time…..duh….a brain fart I spose….LOL!!!

If anyone has an extra minute, and could guide me through the exercise tracker, I’d appreciate it.

Thank you one and all for all the advice and opinions of Weight Watchers.  I’ve decided the money could be an issue.  Money is so tight, and I know it is for everyone.  With that 11.00 per week charge, that would buy me alot of fresh vegtables and fruits

2 days before  the weekend  YIPPEE YAHOO!!!

Wishing you all fun days ahead, filled with healthy snacks, and lots of good blessings

Good Afternoon Buddys!!! Are you all wearing green??????  If not watch out for those pinches  LOL!!! I told my hubby, make sure to wear green or you’ll be getting pinched by all those pretty ladies at work.  He just laughed and said “Honey, that only happens in 1st or 2nd grade.  I said HUH??????? NOT…”  We’ll see when he gets home  hehehehe, I’ll sure be ready to pinch away….LOL!!!

Its been such a while, I haven’t been here since Friday of last week Uggghhh…..too long.  Lots of catching up to do  LOL!!

My title explains it all….I’m sooooooooooo frustrated right now.  Not sure which path to take at this point.

I started on a serious weight loss journey the end of January.  No cheating, no alcohol, no fast food (unless it was counted in my caloric intake)  exercise 6 out of 7 days. 

I’ve only lost 8 pounds since the end of January. Thats going on 8 weeks.  I know they say 1 pound a week is preferred….but I’m not preffering it ladies. 

I will attend a free Weight Watchers meeting on Wednesday morning.  Maybe that will do the trick.  I know WHAT to eat and WHEN to eat, but it seems like it should be much quicker.  Oh well, one day at a time…..right?????? OF COURSE!!! but I’m still frustrated

My Husband and I are completely rid of any carbonation. We’ve had fun trying all the flavored waters, (just for a treat) but we still drink mostly plain water which fortunately I love

The propel was suggested by a close friend, I’ve tried it before, but didn’t remember how GOOD it really is!!!

Well off to ride my bike….I’m going to just work harder at this, because I’M NOT GIVING UP THIS TIME.

My apologies for anyone I’ve missed this weekend.  I pray my buddys are  well.

:)             Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves…for they will never cease to be amused!!

A huge Good Morning to all the buddyslimmers out there :)  Hope everyone has had a great week.  One more day ladies and gents

Any one have fun plans? 

Ok…down to business….I know how bad soda is for you….whether it be diet or regular.  I’ve also heard its the carbonation that works bad on your cells.

We stumbled across this wonderful Fruit flavored drink but it is carbonated.  It has no calories, no nothing, and my hubby and I love it.

Is the carbonation in that the same as pop?  Is that also bad for you? This is probably a stupid question, but is carbonation all the same??????????  “confused look”

Second……Has anyone here attended a Weight Loss Medically Supervised Program.  Not the ones they advertise on TV, but run by doctors who specialize in obesity?

I’m going to an orientation tonight,…..CAN’T WAIT!!!! and see whats it all about.  I just thought if anyone had been through one, or knew someone who has been through one could give me ideas.

One more thing, has anyone seen our Tatiana lately?  I haven’t checked the forums because I know she’s busy there, but I’m worried if she is ok.

Thanks everybody who takes time to help me here.  You ALL ROCK!!!

Thanks guys, you are the ABSOLUTELY BEST!!!!!

With God All Things are Possible~~~

Gods not the

only one

whot loves you!!!

Hey everyone!!! Hope your day is going well. This will be a quickie…getting ready to go see my Little Sister (not full time anymore but we stay in touch all the time)  last special olympics basketball game…YAHOO  YIPPEE!!! I wish I could cheer but I’ve picked up this nasty cold/flu virus and my voice is about gone.  Hubbys happy about that…the house is quite quiet now!!!!! LOL!!!  Thats ok, once my voice is back I’ll make up for the days lost  LOL!!!!

So my new picture is really a true picture of me..yuppers…chunky grammy….but thats ok.  My jeans actually fit comfortably today My poor grandson has so many bad genes :(  His fathers side of the famly all have weight issues…I’m adopted so I don’t really know what runs in my biological family, except I’m overweight, so is my daughter.  And poor little Talan is just following suit

Makes me sad, I only try to feed him healthy snacks.

I will take my measurements this weekend, its been about 3 weeks.

Soooooooooooooo darn excited about really taking this seriously. I feel like a new person.

To anyone new here, please don’t give up on yourself, don’t give up on BuddySlim, it takes time to  learn the ropes here!!! I’m so computer illiterate, I took forever to even learn how to blog….let alone add pictures. :)  So you can do it….believe in yourself.

Ok, gotta go, I’ve lost touch with so many buddys, later I hope to read some blogs.

Be happy everyone…count your blessings everyday.

Open your eyes! So the SUN can rise, Flowers can blossom…..Birds can sing, because all are waiting to see your B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L      @S@M@I@L@E@

Have the best day ever…smile at everyone you see, you’ll feel a whole lot better :)   :)
