Well, I my brother has agreed to help me fixed the car to get it road ready, so hopefully it will be done in another month or so.

Sometimes in life things happen and then things take a turn for the worse, which was my problem. Though I’ve gained back a little of the weight I’ve worked so hard to get rid of…I haven’t given up, I won’t give up…just gotta get back on the program…I will succeed!!

I think this is one of the best cakes I’ve done so far. It was my grand son’s Birthday and his party theme was sports.

I had fun making this little cake for my grand daughter. She turned 4 in June and Princess with her theme for her little party.

My oldest daughter got married at the end of May and asked me to make her cake. After a few attempts, I finally got a near perfect cake. But on transfer to the church there was a little mishap. The wedding cake slide off center and the groom’s cake split in two, but I was able to correct it. So here are the end results.

Since I’ve been walking daily for the past 6 days, I sleep really good at next and most of the time…All night through!! Yeah!! I feel so much better through the day now.

I have been walking 4+ miles everyday for the past 6 days. I feel great!! I’ve even got my youngest daughter walking with me now, plus the weight is coming down…Waaaahooo!!

Me at 211 lbs

I’ve been working hard on losing this weight. I have been walking 4+ miles everyday for the last 6 days. The scales showed all my hard work this morning…”40.5” lb weight loss to date…WaaaaaHoooo!!! I am motivated, inspired and determined…therefore, I am unstoppable…”I Will Succeed!!”

I believe I might have enough written poems to finally get them published. Now I have to proof read and edit to get them ready.

Since dieting, losing weight, being more active, I have been able to sleep a lot better. I go to bed now at a decent hour and most of the time I get 6-8 hours of good sleep.

My health is improving though I started back smoking. I’ve lost weight, I’m more active and I don’t take any prescription meds anymore. Since losing weight, I was able to stop taking my diabetic meds…my blood sugar level is almost normal everyday as long as I stay on my diet.

Weight loss to Date: 30.5 lbs and still going strong.

I Want To Be A Loser

Oh, how I struggle each and every day,
To lose some body weight in a healthy way.
I’ve struggled since I’ve been a teen,
Wanting to be sleek and lean.

But many times I would start and stop,
I’d throw up my hands and want to get off.
But I’m determined to lose this weight,
Not just to look good, but for health sake.

A long road a head, but if I stick to my guns,
Not only will I be walking, but I’ll be able to run.
I’ll be able to do more things, than sit on my tush,
So I gotta keep going and push, push, push!

Written by Myself

Beginning weight 249 lbs. Today’s weight 221 lbs.

Weight loss to date (since Feb 13) is 28 lbs and I’m still working on losing more. I find it easier to only look at losing 10lbs at a time instead of the over all weight that I want to lose. First goal weight was 240 lbs…second goal weight was 230 lbs…third goal weight 220 lbs…etc, etc. I have reached 2 of my weight loss goals and 1 pound away from my third and then on to the fourth.

I keep a pic in mind of me sitting on my Harley (that I don’t have yet) where I’m weighing 135 lbs.

I did manage to get myself back on track and I’ve stuck with it. Weight loss to date (since Feb 13) is 22 lbs. I have fallen off the track a few times, but have gotten right back on it. I have the ‘determination to succeed’. I’m feeling good and have more energy.

I have really step up on writing my poetry. I found this web site called, ‘Poetry Soup’ and I have had so many wonderful comments on my poetry that it has inspired me to write, write, write…..so next step is to go through the poems already written and pick out the best 200 for publication.

I had to start over of my poetry because I lost about 100 due to a bad disc, but I am well over 200 now.

Skuttles turned out to be a BIG kitty and he is so lovely-dovey and he seems to have a thing for dolls….lol

Well, I hate to say this but I didn’t care for the church I attended. But, it’s ok, I found another one that I’m planning on going to. It’s in another near by town but my brother told me about it, so I thought I would go. Hopefully in a couple of weeks…I’m waiting for my car to be repaired.

I am sleeping a little better, but I still have my bad days where I’m up all night…but, it’s still improving.

I made up my mind to lose this weight once and for all. I’ve been on a sensible healthy diet and exercising since Feb 13, 2009. Total loss so far 11.5 lbs. I feel great, my BSL (Blood sugar level)is down. I gave up my Dr.Peppers. I made a list of ‘eat only’ foods and I’ve been sticking with it. The diet I chose is a 1500 calorie diabetic diet. I get excited every time I lose another .5 lbs. I am motivated, excited and happy with the loss so far.

I mess up, but I’m back at it. Though I am smoking again (I know, shame on me) I have gotten back on a sensible healthy diet and I’m exercising daily (For about a month now). I have re-set a date (April 1, 2009) to quit smoking. I wanted to get into a daily routine of eating healthy and exercising and then add the “Quit Smoking”.
