Growing up I was always so skinny. Everyone was always telling that I needed to put some meat on my bones. Well, I sure did, about ten years ago. I started with some fertility drugs and they made me gain some weight. Then about 12 years ago I decided to quit smoking....along with that came about 15 more lbs. Then I got sick and had to take some steroids and well you all know how that is...I blew up. I have been struggling with excess weigh for about 12 years. Give or take a few years because I always thought I was overweight. Now I would love to be that weight again.
Recently, I started trying to lose again!!! Well, for the millionth time. Anybody out there know what I am talking about? I am losing the same 10 lbs right now that I have lost so many times. So, I thought that if I logged my journey then maybe it would help me. Kim and Tara helped me with my blog and crafting. I would never have started working on my craft room if it wasn't for Tara over at Craftin Desert Diva's. She encouraged, motivated and kept me going. I felt like I did not want to let her down; so, I worked really hard to clean on my craft room so it would be presentable on her blog. She is so great..she never judged me; only offered advice and gave me encouraging words. My friend Kim is also a big help with my journey. She is always so upbeat for me and is just as excited for me as I am. So, I am hopeful that if I put myself out there that you guys will encourage me and I will be able to lose the weight that I need to. I want to be healthy so that I can raise my children and play with my grand children.
My children also are such an encouragement. I lost some weight before with Zija, when my daughter Aimee was a consultant. But I gained that back....it did work though. Then my daughter Jennifer bought me some Ace and I tried it. I can't take it everyday but it is very helpful. Right now I am taking that occasionally and then I drink energy drinks. I am also walking. I would like to say that I walk daily, but not yet. My husband is so awesome; he has fixed me a place outside to walk on our farm so that I don't get bored. I want to share my journey with you and maybe some pictures. So far, I have lost 8 lbs....I think... so that is what I am going to go with. I walked 48 mins today and I am really trying to watch how much I intake (food wise). My problem is the night time. I get up in the night and have sweets before I even know it.
Today I thought that I would share a few pictures of some of the walking space that I have. NO EXCUSES!!! My husband has mowed me a great walking path. I will share more about that later.
Would love to have you sign up to follow me along my journey....
