Weight Loss Journey

It's strange I stared this new journey several times only to fail at it. This time though I found someone to trail it with me. I know that we often at need a friend to trail this road. I just couldn't seem to find someone who wanted to trail this new one I was looking at. But after starting my journey alone, I starting talking to one of my best friends who is more like a sister. She has been struggling with losing weight. I told about the book The Metabilism Mircle. She got on Kincle and now we talk. I can call her on the phone and she gets me going again. We both have had are up and down days. But we both can see our bodies make the push to becoming better. Sounds strand my body has always been soft and wiggley, but for her the area around her middle was always firm. Now that firmness is leaving and the weight she so despartly wants to lose is starting to leave her. So for some of us hard to lose those pounds we found us a way to do it at least for us. So for now lets go my friend, tomorrow is my next weigh in.

Today I read my dughters blog. It made me stop and think what could I do with out. We have been trying to decide on how we were going to pay the extra money for the next year to get a new living room set and remodel of my living room. Yeah it has been 10 years since we moved in to the house we have now. All the walls are white somewhat. So since the dog deciced she was made at someone and would destroy my couch to get back at them. I need a new living room set. I've had the set I have now for about 10 years. When I got it I wanted a sectional thought it would work in my house to begin with it did. however, now it just doesn't work. My house just seems so small in the living room. The middle child has decided that I need a living room make over. Of course I figured why not I put her thru school might as well get my money's worth out of it. So off to Lowes my husband goes today to buy the painting supplies. New paint on the walls, moving the TV, new curtains wow this is going to be a big change for me. I want it but a big change is sometimes hard on me. I don't always take to it in my personal life too well. However, I told my daughter I wanted a calming effect in there. So here goes nothing.

Trying a new idea, new idea for me anyway. I started walking to work and walking home. I can't count the number of times fellow workers from the courthouse have stop and asked if I needed a ride home or to work. It has been a big boost to know that people I work with are that kind to me. I even had my daughter Mary stop yesterday and ask to take me home because she thought it was too hot. I was ok, I needed the walk my body was too cold. I had been sitting in my office at 68 degrees to 71 degrees. I have been freezing for days. So walking home lets me warm up and if I feel real good. I get a good work out going and coming. We will see what happens on Tuesday. I step on the scale for my weekly weigh-in. I am on a 9 lbs weight lose by August 14th, my 51st birthday. I also leave 2 days later to go to my family reunion that I have been to in 2 years. So here's hoping for a good walk and lots of weight loss, because I choose to walk to work and home everyday. The gym and I just need to get reconnected. I think that after the vacation. I will be able to get back on track and get reconneted there too. Of course I'm going to try to get back into Zumba now that my instructor is back from having her baby. (Yeah)

So i'm also trying to eat my fresh food out of my garden. This I hope will help more.
