I have lost 32 pounds on this new diet in just 2 months. Everything here is pretty much normal but it's been too dang hot. I'm ready for fall.

Colton is 8 months old now and just adorable.

Love hearing from you please post your comments.

I've been eating healthy since 06-06-07 and I've lost 19 lbs since. Pretty good for not hardly 3 weeks. I started boot camp (diet) yesterday and lost 5 pounds which most of it was water because I spent a lot of time in the bathroom.

My grandson is now a little over 6 months old and growing like a weed. I babysit him when when I'm not at work and when my daughter and sil are working. He's so precious.

I worked out at Curves 3 times this week then went to my daughters and tried out the Gazelle she just bought ( I love it!) I was on there for 2 minutes when I first started "feeling it" I felt it in my chest first then I started breathing harder and sweating but it felt great and I stayed on there for 6 minutes which may not be long for some people but I think it's great for me especially after a good workout at Curves.

Tomorrow is the BIG day

I will be having my first grandbaby probably sometime Tuesday. Their putting my daughter in the hospital Monday evening at 10:00.

I lost 5 lbs last week without any problems now lets see how the new week will go.

Holy Crap! I thought I had done pretty pretty good today until I seen how many calories were in Mcdonald's Sausage biscuits. I did eat a piece of chocolate cake from weight watchers. I didn't know Mcdonald's sausage and biscuit for 2 is 923 calories! Wow! Other than that I did pretty good.

I did stop watching what I ate for awhile and I have gained some weight back but I don't know how much. .. yet. When getting ready for work last night I put on my clothes and I didn't think I was going to get my pants zipped or snapped. their skin tight and I've had to suffer all night in them. I have to admit that I had a pack of cookies sitting on the kitchen counter and on my way out the door the cookies went in the trash. 10 hours without sugar. I am going to try my best to watch what I eat again because I'm not going to get larger size clothes.

My daugher and her husband finally got the house they had been trying to get since August just in time too because the baby is due December 12th.

How is everyone?

I have not stopped just slowed down

2006-07-14T16:35:00.000-04:00

I and so sick of eating the same old stuff and I have not been eating completely healthy but I have not stopped dieting. I am starting a different diet Monday with two of my sisters and I will see how that goes. If I'm not happy with it then I am going to go to Weight Watchers when I get a chance, but the only problem there is that they only have WW on Thursday evenings and that's when I work and joining that may be a while.

protein and calories are great for today. I did not realize that the Scramblers had 600 calories in it for the sausage and 300 for the bacon until I looked it up on Krystals web site. I had also forgot about the slim jims, pepperoni, luncheon meat adds a lot of sodium to your diet. And, when you eat a lot of sodium, you retain water...duh I needed a memory jog. It's so easy to grab a slim jim when you go to Wal Mart for a snack instead of eating McDonald's so I have to stop it.

I weighed this evening (after sleeping all day) and I was at a good weight. I'm not going to say what the weight was because I feel like it's a little too soon and this week is TOM which is even better.

Changing

2006-04-16T03:12:00.000-04:00

I have been doing better with eating. I am posting my food journal on 3 different sites, Thank God for copy and paste, and will start posting on here too but in the mean time you can go to Leigh's House of Crafts , one of the links posted on the side, to look at my journal.

I want to lose about 40 lbs before the baby gets here ,that will give me a little under 8 months and I believe I can do it. I want a reachable goal and I think 40 lbs is a good one.

I am going to get off here and fix something to eat (I'm at work) and read some on the J.D Robb (Nora Roberts) book that I borrow from the Library Naked in Death. When I first started reading it I didn't think I would like it because the year of 2050, I think. I found out that I like the book and I plan on reading the rest of the series.

Happy Easter!

Grandbaby on the way

2006-03-31T04:22:00.000-05:00

I just found out that I'm having a grandbaby. I'm trying to pick out a cool name that I want it to call me, something special. I'm thinking of Grand mommom, or mommom are my 2 top picks right now but who knows what it will be in 8 months. I don't like grandma or nanna.

Leigh

Starting over

2006-02-08T11:41:00.000-05:00

I started phase 1 of the South Beach diet over Monday and so far I'm doing really good on it. I weighed Monday and it was 269 and today was 264.5 I know alot of it was water weigh and maybe I did lose 1 lb but at least it is coming off. I am leaving for work early today so I'll have enough time to get a workout in. I also realize that I will have to workout on Monday's just to get my 3 days in or I'm lost.
