Howdy Buddies!

Just wanted to stop in and say hello to everyone. I hope all spirits are up as mine are. Yep….1 pound closer to my goal!! Yee ha!!  I have been doing better on getting more meals in, and drinking more water, so that is a plus!

My husband and I are painting our living room, so that will give me a little extra exercising too! We did the ceiling today, and will try to get the walls done tomorrow. If not then it will have to wait til after the weekend, because Bill’s niece will be here from Niagara Falls, New York for a visit. I am trying to figure out some low fat casseroles, or quick and easy meals that are low cal/fat. I have been looking at the recipes on here, so maybe I will come up with a few!

Have a great evening, and much luck on the weight loss and your exercising!!  :) ~Jill

Week One

Well, week one wasn’t exactly what I expected, especially after giving up all the goodies New Years Eve. I was SO excited to get on the scale this morning! I eagerly jumped on the scale, and lost ………1 pound. I was pretty well bummed out, and then after thinking about it, realized had I not watched what I did eat this past week, I very well could have packed on 2,3, or evn 5 more pounds easily! After that I figured hey, I’m 1 pound closer to my mini goal!! I do know that I have to start eating either 3 meals a day, or 6 mini meals, because I find myself snacking into the evening, and I am a night owl, so sometimes it is quite late when I am snacking. My snacks are healthy snacks, but, I’m STILL eating, then going to bed.  So…this week I am going to try to do just that, and just maybe the scale will show a better loss. But…..I am sticking to it!!    Take care~Jill

Happy New Year!!

   Happy New Year To All!!! I hope this year is good to all of us!! May we ALL lose the weight that we are aiming for, and have the willpower to do so!!!

   Did everyone have their pork & sauerkraut today?? It is supposed to bring you good luck for a prosperous year!! I had never heard of this before I met my husband, so now we HAVE to cook pork loin, and kraut on the 1st every year.  Last year it sure didn’t work as far as the prosperous side tho, lol!! Hopefully things will look up in 2008!!!

   This is my 4th day, and I am SO motivated, and hope that it continues on!! I am drinking a lot more water, and less Diet Dew, so hopefully that will help! I have a horrible time eating  3 meals a day tho!! I need to get on track with that instead of not eating til around supper time, then at night I wanna snack. grrrr   I hope the scales show a loss as well on Saturday!! 

   I took our Christmas tree down today, so finally there will be no bows, or ornaments to pick up around the house.  Our kitten Jaide,  turned 4 mos. old today, and she is quite upset that I took her “toys” away from her. lolol

  May everyone have a HAPPY and HEALTHY  New Year!! Take Care, Jill
