A new day and "what color are you"

You Are Crimson Red

Down to earth and warm-hearted, you instantly make everyone feel at ease around you.

And while you have an understated passion - you lack the uncontrolled passion of most other reds.

You prefer to sit back and enjoy every situation life has to offer.

You put an optimistic spin on everything.

And even when things are going well, you don't get too amped up.

You prefer to keep your emotions as steady as possible.

I refuse to feel sorry for myself and I refuse to kick myself. I go forward and I will not look back at my yesterdays except in passing and in explaining a few things.

I woke up this morning and I weighed 217.8. I had over a yr. ago got down to 184 and then my thyroid messed up. Dr. put me on synthyroid but still I have lost and gained and lost and gained. I am not going to blame it on my thyroid although to be honest I do think it plays a part in my failure to lose weight easily. But also I am past menopause and that slows down your metabolism.

I have saved to my favorites maybe 30 weight loss blogs, I wish I knew how to put it to the side of my blog listed as favorite linksm butr that is just beyond my computer knowledge.

I am going to runto them often for motivation and if one of them gives me great advice or motivation for the day I will give that blog "honorable mention". If anyone reads this and would like for me to read your blog send me a link to it and I will go to it.

If anyone has any advice for me I will give you honorable mention just for taking the time to try to help me.

My short term goal is to lose to 210 by Nov. 4 . That is only 7 pounds and that would be a wonderful birthday gift to me. That's right -Nov. 4 is my birthday, and I will be 56 yr.s old.

I exercise nearly every day, I do Leslie Sansonne, I walk, I cut grass, and I babysit my 2 yr. old very active grandson. He is here today and he is being good, He loves Thomas the Train, and so he is watching that right now. He spent the night with me cause his parents had to get up early and go to work they will do the same tomorrow and os he will spend the night here tonight also. I have already gottenup 10 times cause baby wants me to see blue thomas the train (he says boo tomy tain) .

Anyway his diaper leaked and so I had to change linens on bed and wash the mattress pad so glad I had one on the bed plus the water went through the mattress pad onto the mattress and I wiped mattress and hope it did some good and then sprayed down good with lysol spray.

Ok back to weight, eating and exercising, I don't have a problem with exercising, Ilove to exercise. I love to go walking through the fire trail behind my house and I pray and worship while I walk or I listen to music on my head phones. I mow with a push mower and I enjoy the way my body feels when I am active.

My problem really is I love to eat and sometimes I hate to eat but I eat anyway, and a lot of times I eat when I am not hungry.

Goals is

1. try to eat when I am hungry or at least eat at a set time like breakfast, small snack, lunch, snack, dinner and nothing after 5 pm.

2. exercise daily-or almost daily. I really do enjoy it so that is not going to be hard to do, and journal it here

3. list all foods that I eat daily, and journal it here.

4. Drink water, that will be hard to do because I don't like water.

5. Take my multivitamin daily

6. Learn to love me and take care of me.

I love my God, my husband, my children, and my grandchildren.

It should not be that hard for me to love me.
