Physical therapy!

I have been having problems with my neck for some time now. In the last month it has gotten worse. I decided to go see my husbands ortho to have him check it out. He couldn't find anything by looking at the X-rays. He said I could try physical therapy and go back to him in a month! I started physical therapy the same day. They had an opening at a place close to my work. I went again today and it really seems to be helping already!! That makes me so happy!! I have been trying to get back on track ever since I was off after my husband had surgery I have been eating Halloween candy everyday!! Not a lot but still I shouldn't be eating it at all!! TODAY I WILL NOT EAT ONE SINGLE PEICE OF HALLOWEEN CANDY AT ALL!!!! Does that sound convincing?? I hope so cause now that it's out there I have to!!! (Not do it that is)) I am .8# more then my lowest weight so I'm good!! I am going to a week trial at curves to see if its something I want to do again. I had joined back in 05 when I had lost a lot of weight but stopped going in 07 when I had hernia surgery. I want to make sure it won't hurt my neck before I join!? I went yesterday and it didn't seem to bother me! Yay! I haven't walked in a while my knee has still been bothering me lately and it's getting really cold now! I need to do something because I have to start toning up since I have lost almost 60#. Luckily since I have lost it slowly I don't seem to have an excessive amount of lose skin! Thank God! And I know working out will help me get to my goal even faster!! I'm gonna get there there is no doubt in my mind!!


So today at work one of my bosses said that he has noticed that I have been shrinking every time he sees me I look smaller!! Finally!! I was beginning to wonder if these people were blind! Haha. I think sometimes I want people to notice and to say something. I don't know why I care about that it shouldn't be my motive to lose weight!! I'm still a work in progress I guess I always will be!......

Love this book!!

Check out this healthy tip! Had to post it!

Sat at work!

I'm catching up on my reading. I started a book the beginning of oct. it's called Healthy Choices for Women 100 days of Devotions for Mind, Body, and Spirit! I got behind last week cause I was home a lot but I just read something I thought was worth sharing! Physical Health is a choice: it is the result of HUNDREDS of small decisions that we make everyday of our lives. If we make decisions that promote good health, our bodies respond. But if we fall into bad habits and undisciplined lifestyles, we suffer tragic consequences! So what that says to me is even if we make one or two or even 10 mistakes in a day that won't ruin things for us! It's the 90 other things we do right! So don't let our mistakes define us! Don't let that be our excuse to keep messing up. We didn't get this way overnight and we won't change our brains that quickly either it's going to take years of retraining! I'm up for the challenge! I'm learning as I go! So far so good!!

Where am I now??

I'm kind of in a weird place right now. I have spent a lot of time at home lately. My hubby had knee surgery last week and I was home with him wed and thurs. I worked fri but was off sat thru wed cause if the Frankenstorm! Crazy! But luckily we were spared without any damage. So....... At home bored snacking and snacking why?? I have no idea? Maybe because everyone I live with are big snackers!! My husband is the worst and he doesn't have a weight problem!! And the equates to..... I now weigh 2# more then I did yesterday it said 4. Today 2! Am I worried? Upset? Surprised? Nope! Not at all. I'm just taking it 1 day at a time! I'm so very thankful for how well I've done and I know I will never ever ever go back to how I was! I am finally positive of that! I can finally be secure in the fact that I now know how to eat right. And I now have a new life be because of it! So even when I overeat a little then I don't go crazy! And I don't give myself permission to indulge all day long AND I have no problem waking up the next day and getting right back on track! I do however want to lose more weight before my cruise in feb. would I still love to lose another 40# before the end of the year. If I don't that's ok too!! For now I'm good and I'm happy!

They say slow and steady wins the race!?

I'm still in the race!?  I'm still in the race!?  Me?? I'm still running.  It does seem to be slower then I would prefer but I think I'm OK with that??  But........ sometimes I'm not!  I want to get this blubber off faster.
I know I know I didn't get this way overnight!  But I'm still in the race.  That's so unlike the old me!  Is part of me afraid I won't once again finish the race?  I have tried so many times before and haven't even stayed in it this long.  So that must be a good thing right?  Does a leopard change its spots?  I don't know I hope so?  I'm getting ready to leave work so I will have to continue this later.

Well we will see.......................................


Just saw that this is my 100th post! Yay!

I am changing my thinking!

I have decided to put my relationship with food on the back burner. Food you will no longer be my best friend!! I will not turn to you when I'm down or when I'm happy!! You are no longer an award for my achievements. You will no longer be what I think about in the morning. You will no longer be the last thing I do at night! You will strictly be on a need to live basis. I need you to live. But I will no longer live for you!! I have replaced you with something much stronger then you, more loving then you, more forgiving then you!! I have replaced you with God! The one who loves me, who takes care of me, the one who gave me life! He is who I will turn to for all my joy, my sorrow, my pain, my inadequacies. So don't think that I will change my mind and go back to you! There's a new Sheriff in town and your history!!!! I needed to get that out there so there's no more questions!! It's done! I have taken back my life and I intend to keep it this time!

I want to live like there's no tomorrow!

I'm constantly quoting songs but its what speaks to my heart on the way to work! Love it! Live it! Here is my song for today!

Hold on
Is this really the life I'm living?
Cause I don't feel like I deserve it
Every day that I wake, every breath that I take you've given
So right here, right now
While the sun is shining down

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be alive, yeah

Hold on
If the life that we've been given
Is made beautiful in the living
And the joy that we get brings joy to the heart of the giver
Then right here, right now
This is the song I'm singing out

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be alive
[X2]

I won't take it for granted
I won't waste another second
All I want is to give you
A life well lived, to say "thank you"

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be, it's good to be alive

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be alive

I won't take it for granted
I won't waste another second
All I want is to give you
A life well lived, to say "thank you"

Today I'm thanking and praising The Lord for doing what he has done for me and the extra time I will have with my family. AND my new grand baby that's on the way! Yay!!!
