As to my post yesterday..Thanks for you ladies who responded. I did eat protien about 1 hour before class. I  honestly think I just over did it.The reason being is….. I can barely walk today! Oh my  goodness, my calves hurt so bad. I guess you use different muscles then you do for kickboxing! I know , No pain- No gain. It is a hurt feel good thing. The only thing is it hurt so bad I skipped class today.Tomorrow is Zumba, alot easier. I think I have to work my way into the step aerobics.One class at a time. At least I am having fun along the way. You all keep positive and have a good day!

Hey Buddies! I did it, i went to the gym and I did step aerobics. I think that is how you spell it. LOL Any ways, There was about 12 ladies and I was the biggest one in the class but I did pretty good. I told the instructor before class that I haven’t done step since I was in high school, which was over 20 yrs ago. Oh my goodness, I loved it!! I’m so glad that I went but I do have to say that after class I got very light headed and shaky and felt kind of queezy.The instructor gave my a lil Mountain Dew and imagine that, I felt better.She said if it happens again I need to go to the Dr. I think I just pushed myself to hard.

  That doesn’t mean I’m not going back cuz I am! In fact there is some kind of class going on tomorrow, I’m gonna go give it a try. It feels good to be moving again!

Soooo……. I was in the room waiting for the Dr. to come in and when she did she entered saying….Well Hello skinny! Boy did that make me smile.I know that I’m not skinny but it sure made me feel good. i went to get refills on my allergy meds and when they weighed me I have lost 8 pounds since my last visit. She was so proud of me.She kept saying she knew I could do this and she was so encouraging. Months ago I was in the office crying about working hard to loose weight and nothing happening cuz my ankles were so swollen and my feet hurt so bad so she knows just what this means to me. Funny thing is all the swelling and pain in my ankles and feet were hives… to bad I had every heart test and kindney panel and autoamunne test ran, just to find out it was a form of hives. two little pills took care of it. Now I have lots of bills from all the test but hey, the good thing is I know that I have a healthy heart. My heart Dr told me I was the heathest big girl he has ever seen, I just need to cut my calories in half. any ways just wanted to share my good news. Everyone have a good week.Blessings to all..

Today is going to start a new me. I have been slacking from my exersizing since my kickboxing challenge has been over. In fact, I haven’t been to any class since, but today is the day.I’m going to meet one of my friends at the gym today, so I know I will go!

 The diamonds,my weight loss team.are going threw some changes too!So my thought is new everything! I am going to do this, I know that I can. I have my eating controlled i just need to move and that will happen today.

My new goals are to weigh at least 200 by November, I will work hard and keep focused!

   
 
I’ve seen two shows lately that went on and on about how mid-life is a great time for women. Just last week Oprah had a whole show on how great menopause will be . . . Puhleeeeeeeze! I’ve had a few thoughts of my own and would like to share them with you. Whether you are pushing 40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing your luck), you’ll probably relate.

Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache.  
 
In mid-life women no longer have upper arms, we have wing spans. We are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, we are flying squirrels in drag.

Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can see your rear without turning around.  
 
Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless.

Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube top and scream, ‘Listen honey, even the Roman empire fell and those will too.’

Mid-life brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves and we’re sitting on our biggest ones.  
 
Mid-life is when you look at your know-it-all, beeper-wearing teenager and think: ‘For this I have stretch marks?’

In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can retain is water.  
 
Mid-life means your Body By Jake includes Legs By Rand McNally ,
more red &blue lines than an accurately scaled map ofWisconsin.
 
Mid-life means that you become more reflective . . You start pondering the ‘big’ questions. What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it’s no longer a healthy choice?  
 
But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important. We realize that breasts sag, hips expand and chins double, but our loved ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any of you trade the knowledge that you have now, for the body you had way back when? Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom and love we’ve acquired. That’s my philosophy and I’m sticking to it!

Okay…I must admitt, it has been awhile since I’ve posted. I really don’t know what is wrong with me.My kick boxing challenge is over and I missed the final weigh in cuz I was out of town.Thats ok though, I signed up at the womans gym.

  My eating hasn’t been too bad, but my exersizing has sucked! Honestly since kickboxing has been over I havent had the umph to get up and move.

With all intention, I plan on going to the gym. There is a few classes that look interesting to me.There is one called Zumba, a latin dance. I’m gonna give it a try. Hey, if I can do kickboxing I think I should be able to do that. I know once I start  moving agian I will start to feel better. But right now I feel tired all the time and all I have the energy for is to work and come home and sleep.

Soooo…..I’m gonna get myself out of this rut and push my way threw it. This is just a small setback in my journey but without setbacks how do we learn? 

We are going to Yogi bear Park for the weekend. I bought all healthy food and drinks. I will keep moving and I am happy. The changes I’ve made in the past 6 months have become a way of life to me such as eating healthy foods and walking everyday (thanks Tatania). What a great feeling!

 Well I’m goin now Hope everyone has a great weekend!!I will miss reading the blogs and all but I will be back!!!!

 Where oh where did my energy go? I understand that my meds make me tired but last night I woke at 3 in the morning and could not go back to sleep. My body was tired but my brain kept going. Well I decided to get up at 5 when I decided that i wasn’t gonna sleep any more. Well I got ready for work and all day I have had NO energy. Could it be cuz I have not done kickboxing in 3 days? They have been closed due to the fair in town. I know I could do many other things for exersize but I have no umph. Is it true , that when your body is used to exersizing and you don’t for a few days …your body gets tired like this? Well I promise friends that I will be back in kickboxing tomorrow. Hopefully my energy will go back up…Blessings to all and have a good week.

Hello everyone!!

Happy Sunday! Nothing very special to say here but thanks to all who take the time to encourage your buddies. You never know just how it may really encourage someone. The other day I was having a bad day and i came here to find a very sweet booster in my box.  How it made the rest of my day better so if you feel the need to send someone a booster , follow your thoughts and do it.Blessings to all.

Okay, the weight is finally moving after working so hard for months and the scale not moving. It is sooo hard, because of the side effects of some meds makes me so tired!!!I barely make it threw the day and to go to kickboxing is a challenge.Don’t get me wrong I love Kickboxing and I’ve still been going but i’m so tired that my body has that funny feeling.One of the meds I take is called Aterex, it is like taking 3 binadryls(sp). I take it at night so Most of it will be worn off by morning but it is getting the best of me. If I don’t take it then my legs will swell and here comes all the water weight again. So someimes you have to take the good with the bad!!!! To all who read this and any of my blogs , may you be Blessed..

  I know that I haven’t been such a good buddy lately, it doesn’t mean I don’t think of you or come here and read ,I’m just to Tired to take the energy to visit.Hopefully when my body gets used to the drugs I can come back full force but for now I am saving what energy I have for kickboxing….Love you all!!!!!
