Seeing the Fat Doctor

 So today I had to pay the piper for the month of celebrating my birthday - actually it wasn't to bad - I gained 1 pound.  Could have been a lot worse.  

I am having trouble walking due to my tendinitis of my hip.  So walking has been out, but I did start doing yoga more often. 

The doctor set 3 goals for me - drink my water - do yoga 2 times a week and start tracking my food again.

Yes, I lost 15 pounds right away doing this but what happens is I have been doing this for months, and months and it just seem endless.  I really need to get a new mindset.  The diet mentality does not work. What I have to do is tell myself is that I weigh 145 - I have no trouble loosing weight, that weight just melts off of me.  

Yes, I physically must do the other stuff - but I need to be more positive about it.  

I guess the hard thing for me right now is that it is boring - but I have started reading about herbal medicine and I realize my eating is not that healthy and I need to get Parke to eat healthy - he is always sick.  If he would just avoid all the cupcakes and cookies he eats he might feel better.  I cannot even eat 1/10th of what he does or I would be huge.  

Time to buckle down - research some healthy meals for the family

I will share, namaste

OUT OF CONTROL

 Help, I have eaten and I cannot stop.  Well, sort of.  Stepped on the scale this morning and holy gain weight batman.  My Birthday Celebration of much food and cake finally caught up with me.  IT is now September 1 so I need to shake off the cake - however, I just ate a piece of candy (ouch).   So where did I go wrong - I turned 68, LOL - I celebrate the whole month and I did not cook 1 meal last weekend and basically ate leftovers all week - not healthy. Not healthy at all. So back on the protein bus - eat my veggies - be mindful, It is easy? No it is not.  I wish there was a way to eat cake and loose weight.  If I come across it I will let you know.   Yoga is helping my joints so much - also I have added some herbal supplements that are suppose to help arthritis - I will share those with you all on the weekend. I notice when I walk that I walk like an old lady - bent over and wabble - this needs to stop! In the meantime, have a r...

Well, all turned out ok, I didn't have a mini-stroke, of course, they found something else, which I am not to crazy about. So - the other week I see an offer for this hand strengthener.  I thought why not try it.  So I ordered it on Amazon.

A Weight Loss Journey - Take #378

Image
 So over and over I try to loose weight - I told my dear daughter-in-law, Lauren that I have lost 1000 pounds, 5 pounds lost, 5 pounds gained over and over again.  So now, on the eve of my 65th birthday I wanted to know why. I was listening to a weight loss podcast this morning, that was Bible based and the Preacher said something I can't forget - find your WHY?  And he was saying, you might have tried weight loss for an event, for someone else, your family, your friends but until you find the real why, you will not succeed, and that you cannot succeed without God.  Because it is with God, the creator of our bodies, we will learn how to take care of them.  So I have embarked on a spiritual journey and maybe, just maybe I will find my why.   Now, I invite also, my daughter-in-law, Lauren, to join me here in this blog, I am going to give her access hopefully, to this blog, and she may write whatever she wants or feels on this journey.  If she wishes...
