 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!!!!!

Well, for several months I have been doing kickboxing and eating right  and I haven’t gotten the scale to move. The inches are moving but the scale wasn’t. I went to the Doctor and we talked about my history with hives and thought maybe that is why I have been swelling up so she put me on some new meds and Bammm…..The scale started moving, so what I am saying is…That if you are doing everything right and the scale isn’t moving , maybe you need to see the Dr. I am down 6 pounds since thursay…

  Why do we love it and hate it at the same time? It drives me crazy, the scale. I know that i shouldn’t do this but I do , I step on the darn think everytime I go to the bathroom. I guess, I think that i will loose a pound or two when I go pee or ,you know the other thing,(POO). I have been working my butt off doing kickboxing and walking and last monday when I weighed in for the challange, The scale did not move! I have beeen at it for 7 weeks and The scale did not move. The inches are moving but for some reason the scale seems more important.Am I crazy?

so all last week after monday I did not do any exersize, I didn’t eat real bad but I didn’t watch what I ate. I don’t think I have gained  but I did decide to go back to kickboxing. I did 45 minutes today. I will go back tomorrow.

We finally got Mom all better and doing for herself and I come home today from a 12 hour shift and my Mother calls me to tell me that my Grandmother( Moms Mother) had a heart attack last night , she is in intensive care.The Dr. told her with her condition and her age (76) that she isn’t a candidate for surgery.He told her she is living on borrowed time. Soo buddies please keep me in your prayers and my family.

 I won’t be around this weekend, we are taking mom out for a camping trip -In Motor Home-

I will be very busy going from camp ground to hospital daily to check on Grand mother. But it is worth it.To get my Mother to relax and To make sure they take care of my grandmother in the hospital..You know the nurses always need reminded how to do there job,,LOL

Thank you all and I love you all so much.I love all the support from my buddies here!!!

 OK, there is my confession!Today I went back to work after being off for 2 weeks and some of my co-workers noticed that I have lost weight, Which was nice to hear, but when I told them the scale hasn’t changed they said maybe your scale is wrong soooo……Today was weigh in and re measurements to for my kickboxing challenge..Of coarse, the scale DID NOT move! I wanted to cry! so the instructor said before you get frustrated lets take your body fat intake. UP…..1%! The good thing is I lost 2 1/2 inches in my waist and 1 inch from my thieghs but for all the hard work I’ve been doing that wasn’t enough for me!!!!When I left, I came home and went crazy…I binged all the way…I ate and ,ate and ate some more ,then I found the ice cream and then I found the mountain dew and then chips …that is just the top of it. All in about an hour..WOW—what a crazy person!So now the guilt kicked in and the fact that i felt so sick. I just went to bed.

well then came the nightmares!!!soo, here i am early in the morning wondering how I can fix it. I’ll start of with a protien breakfast..too much starch last night. drink lots of water and know that I’m not perfect! oh by the way don’t go all day and not eat cuz your gonna get weighed that evening , I think that helped with the problem.I was starving and angry.

  I have the exersizing under control but the eating I am doing something wrong.Anyone have any suggestions?I am alright and the guilt is gone , now is a new time and I must push forth.Blessings to all who has taken the time to read my blog!

Thank you all for the prayers. My mother is doing very well. She is up and around , still can’t lift things but she is good enough to be without me. I’m going back to work tomorrow..I am soo excited.I love my job. I take care of retired sick Nuns. Like a nursing home but alot better. I have done it for 13 yrs now. It is hard work but it is worth it all.

  I’m looking foward to going to work cuz it helps me stay on a routine with my eating. I’m still doing my kickboxing and a few other things in between. I get remeasured tomorrow at kickboxing. and weighed. I think we only have 4 more weeks of the challenge left. I already talked to the owner about keeping the kickboxing open. He said if he has enough people interested he will have it for 3 days a week. I’m praying cuz I love it!!!

  Soo to all my friends I will post my measurments tomorrow.Till then—-Keep on keep’n on!!!!

I’ve been doing some thinking..YA, I know , that can be dangerous but….. Some days I get so tired of the always watch what you put in your mouth and you better get moving thing,  that i could just scream! To live life free and not always be on edge about what I am putting in my mouth and Now I got to move. Soooo , I’ve been thinking. I am making this harder on myself by always being so hard on me. For crying out loud, I didn’t get to be this size over night so i’m not gonna loose it over night. I’ve learned that if I make too many goals at one time ,I end up a failure, at least that is how I was feeling but I have figured out as long as i keep trying I am NOT a failure!The eating thing is still my battle but hey I got the exersizing down to a tee!I am truley addicted to exersizing …I feel great. NOW I need to work on the eating thing. I never use to eat breakfast so that is a small change for me but I relize it makes me feel better, I’ve also learned that high protien foods make me feel better too. This is a journey of a lifetime so I am trying to make it my friend , and to do so I need to understand it. Here is my conclusion——It is only a pain in the butt to always remember no not that and get up and move until it becomes a habit such as my exersize and some of my new eating habits.Once the habit is formed then you don’t always have to think so much.

Yesturday my husband wanted KFC< so i went and got him some and I passed it up..LOVE it but it makes me feel awful! I listened to my body .I had tuna with shredded cheese in it with a cut up apple.

Any how- to you that gets frustrated cuz the changes aren’t happening over night, hang in there cuz habits take awhile to form and it will happen.Good luck and hope this made as much sence to you all as it does to me..Thanks and love yas!!!!
