The weight loss journey

Change is never easy.  I have started tracking food and exercise again.  While I have been over a lot of days on food or didn’t finish tracking, the key is that I am doing something.  Now over the past few weeks I have given up Pepsi and pop tarts.  Part of me misses it and other part no.  The pop was giving me stomach issues so now that I don’t drink it I feel so much better.  The walking after my lunch has been helpful.  It’s 10 minutes that I wasn’t doing while I was at work.  I have also started doing the Leslie Sansone videos on days I am not working both my jobs.  Yes, it can be hard but it’s worth it. 

I am feeling better as each days goes by.  For me it makes me realize what I am eating and makes it easier to makes the changes little by little.  Whether you start big or little it doesn’t matter, it’s your journey.  Just know others are trying to loose weight too and may have similar experiences as you.  You are not in a competition with anyone else on this.  Take one big leap or baby steps we all are on our journeys and are willing to share our experiences.  

A walk on the Fox River

When my parents come to town they rent a house because my brother and I do not have room in our places for them.  So they rent a house on the Fox River in St. Charles, Illinois for a few weeks.  Since it was so cold over the holidays the river froze so we took a walk.

Pine needles are mulitplying

Now that the tree is down the house still isn’t back together.  I have living room chairs in the dining room and not to mention no matter how many times I vacuum or sweep I still find pine needles all over.  Including in my bra and panties when I’m at work and there is no tree there.  I feel like I should super glue or duct tape all the needles on a tree prior to it coming into my house.  Because a needle in my bra is not fun.  I think it’ll be Easter and I’ll still be finding needles.  They are multiplying on their own at this point.  The parties they have during the day while I’m at work must be amazing since I find needles in the bathroom and the kitchen.  I need in on those parties.

To the whiny asses complaining about the cold.

To the whiny asses complaining about the cold.

Yes, it’s cold.  That is the reason why they make clothes.  You put them on and not only do you cover your private bits but they keep you warm.  If you’re still cold there are coats, scarfs, hats and yes snowsuits.  Put them on and deal with it.  If you cannot deal with then stay home or move to another part of the country.  Those are your options.  So suck it up and put your big boy and girl pants on.

What hats mess up your hair?  Hate to tell you we are all walking around with goofy hat hair.  We don’t judge.  Snowsuit too bulky.  Who cares we all do the pottie dance when wearing it.

Thank you,
