The Land is Calling

dieting, and around the house

It is no fun to be on a diet, but it is good to be back on it for me. Today is day 3. I have done really well. I lost 50 lbs last year and then with the move and all of the stress and just not having the money to eat well I have put back on 28 lbs. yow!

I have felt yucky with that much back on. I also feel like I dont look as good and I cant fit into everything anymore. It is never fun when your pants are to tight.

So I broke down and started my diet again on Saturday. I am doing really well. The first day I was starving and cranky. The second I was tired and today I am fine. A little hungry, but I am attributing that to it being my time of the month and having some cravings. I can deal with it. The prize of being slimmer and more healthy is worth the bit of hunger pains I am feeling at the moment. I am hopefull that I will start to see something come off this week, that is always a great incentive and really hopefull that in 2 mts it will all be off.

Also, I am back to drinking my water. Oh, boy I have been missing that. I always think I am drinking enough until I start drinking what I am suppossed to and then boy I see how I was lacking.

So wish me luck!

alright, what is going on around the house. I cleaned everything today. I have also done laundry all day.So I feel like alot was accomplished and the house looks really nice.

We have had 2 of our friends move in with us for 2 wks, while they look for an apartment. So we have extra's in our home and that should be fun. My honey married them 2 yrs ago and we did their marriage counseling. It is nice to see how they are doing so well and really glad they are moving by us. My kids love them so now it is like we have some family around which is good.

Dinner has been in the crock pot all day. Pork chops cooking in cranberry sauce and I am making stuffing and green beans. Yummy, I love this meal and it smells really good all day. That could be where my cravings are coming from???

Tonight we sign my 9 yr old up for Cub scouts. He is super excited. Saturday they made rockets together and tonight at the kick off they are going to shot them off. So today and this evening has been a very full day.

God is still blessing and taking care of us in His very special way.

Blessings,

Andrea

Good luck on the dieting. I am also trying to lose weight and it is slowing coming off. I really want to increase my strength and flexibility. I would really like to lose another 30 pounds and am working on it.

Good for you - starting your diet again. I'm reading Fit for Life - how to combine foods and not eat starches & proteins together - I am sort of doing this and it seems to help - I've lost about 4 pounds and need to keep losing - will feel better and I don't like being pudgy. God bless. jill
