My Butt on TV

Four hours of gardening today including compost turning and mowing. Great work out. Ate right again. Trying to think of something interesting or inspirational to write, but I am too tired. Maybe that is what I should be working towards, being very very tired at night so I sleep well.

Oh, I've got it. I found a way to keep myself from eating at night. L installed cameras to video or just live feed the stuff that is going on outside our house. We have a criminal in our neighborhood and someone stole gas from my truck over the weekend. Anyway, there were two cameras left over. He put one in the kitchen facing toward the living room and one in the living room facing down the hall. At 8:30 pm I turn it on and show the live feed of the hallway on the living room TV. This keeps the boys in their beds, bonus. Second bonus. The camera is sitting on the floor point slightly up. Just at butt level for me as I walk across the room. Have you ever seen you butt on a large screen tv when you are 30 pounds overweight? Not pretty. It will really make you lose your appetite.

Fresh Start

I got back from Conroe yesterday. Several times a day during the trip I declared to my friends that I would start exercising and eating right on Monday. Today is Monday and I did it. I walked for thirty minutes and I ate like I should have. Somehow over the three day trip I managed to lose 3 lbs. This has to have something to do with hormones. We did not exercise and we certainly didn't eat right. Well here I am starting again.

The veggies are coming along nicely in the garden. I ate swiss chard for lunch. It was great.

Backslide Big Time

Went to the Doctor today with bronchitis. They weight me at 160, yikes. Now this is too much information, but I weigh myself first thing in the morning in my birthday suit. Anyway, that is still way too much and must show some gain. I adjusted my scale and I am starting from there.

My blood pressure was also up. Now this is about not having to get on a lot of medications to keep me from having a heart attack or stroke.

As soon as I can breath, I am going to start walking/jog = wog. I need to get my cardiovascular system back in shape. I already have all the veggies and stuff to get back on track with the food. As soon as summer gets here I am going to collect a bunch of sisters and start a water work out in our mom's pool. Stay tuned.

New Achievement.

I managed to fit into my husbands pants. This may sound like a disaster, but before my butt was too big.

I gardened for three hours today. I am bone tired.

Healthy Lunch

I had a piece of whole wheat toast with humus, asparagus, and a V8 for lunch. If I eat any healthier, I may die from it.

Big Ole Gardening Day

I gardened from 9:00 this morning to 4:00 this afternoon. I would say I took about 9o minutes of break time during the day. Gardening burns more calories than my walking does, but it's not as good aerobic exercise. So I am going to give myself five miles worth. Calories burned are about 272 an hour bringing today's total to 1361. If I kept my yard perfect I might be thin.

Yo-Yo Me

I forgot to post this yesterday and to change my ticker. I dropped back down to 145 without doing anything. It really is the hormones. I am paying more attention to this because of this blog. It really is happening, cycle gain five pounds, wait a week lose it without really trying. This should be a lesson in patience.

At Canton yesterday instead of eating a whole hamburger, I split one with Mamala and she shared her fried pie with me. We were full, but not sick. Much better way to enjoy a guilty pleasure. Half the food = Half the guilt.
