I am a bit nervous as I am about to step on the scale.

wish me luck


Well surprise! Weight 205 I was expecting far worse! up two pounds from last month but nothing radical. I haven't really been doing much of anything eating bad or exercising. I have been weaving as much as possible. I have holiday prezzies to get out and all! I do plan on getting back on my bike or out for a walk here as well as running another 9 day cleanse. I found strangely that I really like the shake drink they have as meal replacements. And when I haven't had it I kind of miss it. How weird is that?
Absolutely no other changes:
bust: 42
waist: 37
hips: 45
Thigh:23
calf:17
bicep: 12 1/2

11/10/11

utter crap kind of weekend
my nephew shot and killed himself
I have no idea what i ate or drank, prolly did too much of both of those.
spent a lot of time either trying not to cry or giving in and letting it go.
He was so very full of despair and self loathing. Most of the family had in the last few years reached out to him to try and help him or at last help him find tools to help himself.
I hope he found the peace he was looking for.
I will miss him and I love him

Lesson, bring lunch of snacks everyday. Maybe just bring in bag of almonds for my desk? The only problem is that I will eat more than I should if the bag is here. SOOO make lunch everyday.
Dinner tonight is left over soup. I might have some potato chips and onion dip or maybe not. I find that having the little snacks while on the cleanse worked really well to keep my hungry in abeyance.

Oh as a side note, I have arbitrarily decided that beginning in Nov and through the end of the year I am going to get back on my bike for 45 minutes a day. At least during the work week and supplement it with walks on the weekends. While I am pleased with the weight loss from the cleanse program, I really want to be fit as much as anything and not just loose skin.

I lost a total of 7 pounds. 1 inch in my neck, upper arms, abdomen, thigh and calves

Now then when I do my regular weigh in on the 15th we will see how long it lasts. I do like that I feel pretty good. By the end I found I wasn't craving like i was at the beginning. I was hungry and I did miss eating meals.
I do hope that this might help with portion control. Always a hard thing for me. and the fact I am not craving the dew is also a good thing. I suspect I will have one now and again but there will be no compulsion. that is a good thing. I like being in control of my destiny!

sunday went for a 4.7 mile hike up in the mountains and laughed a lot.
both very active days

08/25-26/11

Hmm not sure why I didn't post anything for these days.

08/24/11

up around 6
weaving like crazy
had mt dew
breakfast was a bagel and cream cheese and water
here at work having a strawberry slim fast and more water
dinner tonight is piperande (the french pepper and tomato stew that sets me dancing) with brie and baguette and more water.

08/23/11

Ended up sleeping in bad bad me!
Breakfast was a caffeine tab- if I could just live on these
ramen and milk
had mt dew wanted more but only one
lunch was an egg-roll and hot and sour soup and water
had three mints and three mini chocolate bars
dinner was a squash dish with onions and sage topped with sour cream
then after practice I was so hot and thirsty, I had two glasses of water and three raspberry lemonades. Had wonderful dreams!

What fun I had

Oh yes, I had some fun at the event this weekend. It started my day off wonderfully well to gift a newcomer one of our pilgrim badges and his very sweet and emotional response, left me buzzing the rest of the day.
Watched the fighting part of the morning, watched the weaving, played hurley with a bunch of children and adults. We made a grown man cry with honor, which of course made me cry!
The afternoon I spread out a blanket under the shade and made pinwheels with- well it was supposed to be with children but they were having such fun on their own that I ended up with the teens. That was okay, we had fun talking and discovering that the pinwheel kit was really pretty tricky and would have probably frustrated the younger set.
Evening was spent around the fire listening to poems and songs until the embers burnt low.

08/21/11

Up early again! I took Avalon to a big empty parking lot and let her get behind the wheel. She only wanted to drive for a little bit so after 1/2 we went and bought bagels.
i had a bagel for breakfast with sun dried tomato cream cheese

did all my sunday stuff
lunch was a package split with Avalon of deep fried green beans
not too health but mighty tasty!
had caffeine tab
dinner was cheese tortellini with homemade blue cheese sauce and brussels sprouts in garlic with a piece of bread.
I did have a couple small scoops of peach sorbet just to clear the garlic flavor later in the evening and before jumping my man. I do wonder about the caloric burn of rumpy-pumpy...

08/20/11

So I have been having a strange day today. I really don't try and notice dates, frankly I am usually too busy to pay attention. But I know what day today is and even stranger is the thought that 30 years ago today was the first time I slept with Dennis. Yep, weird day.

Kind of a rough week. One of the very few "not Tilleman" co-workers died on tuesday morning. I knew he hadn't been feeling well and he had been in an out of the hospital since the end of may but he said he was going to be out over the weekend. I guess he was right and maybe he knew the truth of it and just tweaked it so we thought he was saying he would be home. he was also a friend and walking by his empty office is very hard. So I am thrilled everyday to hear that you are still walking this earth with me.
eating has been odd, not bad but not the greatest, mt dew is far too easy and I keep grabbing for it.
I want comfort food of deep fried but have been fighting with that and having salads instead.
I continue to count my blessing and give thanks to whom ever might be listening in the universe. Maybe that is my coping skill, when things are getting to break me apart, I list what I do have. It is a long list and by the end I do realize that is so much to be grateful for.

07/18/11

Forgot to post these last week.
Got up early and started to bike ride but am feeling less than well with that added humidity bonus we have been having so only did about 15 minutes.

really really hard to get out of bed this morning.
Breakfast was ramen and milk
had caffeine tab
had lunch with YOU!! and your loverly Family!
I do think, my sweet sensitive friend that you attribute far too much meaning behind my inscrutable face. I fear I may not be as deep as you think I am.
Lunch was so much fun and I would love to have more time with you all than we get on these hit and run afternoons. Next June 22-24 we will go rafting!

Was pretty good all weekend. helped a friend move on saturday
cleaned out another friends garage on sunday and moved a bunch of stuff to someone else's house on monday.
Did get a few of my things done over the weekend.
Was good with the soda. I ran an experiment with caffeinated mints that I think will take me over the soda edge. it will be nice to get that out of my system. Now just have to stick with it!
I did binge on ramen over the long weekend. It is just so damn convenient.
Breakfast this morning was leftover risotto
had tea
had mt dew
lunch was rice cakes, almonds and and orange and water
dinner tonight is anyone's guess. I am going to try for a slim fast and get that started again. At this point I realize it is not a plan I like but now my practical side has kicked in and I have the crap so should drink it all gone and it might just be the kick start I need.

05/27/11

1/2 hour on bike and 100 crunches
today is the first of my experiments. No mt dew
I bought caffeinated mint. One split up through the day is a lot more caffeine than a mt dew
I have cut them into 1/4s and I think that should work.
I had a sloppy joe for breakfast
lunch has been almonds, rice cakes and an apple with water
will go for a walk tonight as it looks like it will be dry.
Dinner is pasta with artichokes, capers and tomatoes and more water.

05/25/11

did get 1/2 hour in on the bike but toward the end started feeling nauseated. Started my crunches and the projectile vomited ended that. I took an antibiotic without food before my workout. Bad idea.
breakfast was tea and two pieces of toast with peanutbutter
lunch was leftover tofu with garlic sauce and water
having mt dew
everything seems copacetic right now.
Dinner tonight is a slim fast
I am hoping to finish my exercise tonight

05/23/11

Weekend was good. Probably over caffeinated but then again I did clean my garage on saturday and then help clean out a big trailer on sunday, set up a couple tens, take them back down and repack a trailer. I did eat well on both days.
This morning was slow moving. So not keeping with my plan. Why am I suddenly unable to find the desire to keep exercising?

I had 1 poptart and some peanuts with my mt dew for breakfast.
lunch is a slim fast, water and an orange.
dinner tonight is risotto. Yum!

05/19/11

all my good intentions
no work out this morning as I had "stuff" to get done
had bagel with cream cheese, tomatoes and a big old cup of mint tea
had coke at work as we were all out of mt dew
lunch was almonds, an orange, water and a slice of gouda cheese
dinner tonight will be tofu noodle bowl and more water
I was really hoping to get walking in but I will at least get my ab work and 10 flights of stairs.

05/18/11

yep back up to working out
got up did 1/2 weaving
rode the bike for 1/2 hour about 10 miles I was going to ride in today but the immanent rain clouds have damped that thought
did my 100 ab things I think I need another goal even if arbitrary it kept me moving.
Breakfast was a bagel with cream cheese, sliced tomatoes and green onions
and mt dew
lunch today is yogurt, water, and an apple
dinner tonight is soup and more water
Well did my weight and measurements and at least everything is the same as last month. That is a whew! as I am feeling mighty podgy lately. I haven't maintained my exercise schedule at all.

05/17/11

Nose to the grindstone.
Did okay over the weekend but caught a cold that has left me with a bit of vertigo so I have not been working out.
But will need to as time to have lots of pictures of me is coming up and I do admit i want to look good in them.
breakfast was two pieces of toast
had mt dew
had water
lunch was hot and sour soup and water
6 cinnamon bears
dinner is mock chicken soup and probably a couple slices of cheese

05/13/11

weird, two of my posts are missing from here.
I have been eating good
getting exercise
doing my regular stuff.
Trying to keep up my time for weaving and working out.
I think the scales might be kind to me next week. I hope.

05/11/11

have been doing good both eating and excepting except today. Today was raining and cool and bed was very nice.
over the weekend was filled with walking and working in the yard at at an event. Must remember to sunscreen my cleavage.
Monday was a very good day, rode into work and that was so easy after having been riding indoors all winter. I love coasting! then took my dog for a long walk when I got home.
Tuesday was busy I opted to weave in the am for longer as I want to finish what I have on now so I can get to the next project. I spent the evening on my feet from 6-9 walking and talking
today slept in
breakfast was 1/4 of peanuts and tea
having mt dew right now
lunch is nachoes
dinner tonight is rice, steamed broccoli and 1/2 cup cottage cheese.

05/05/11

have been working out and also have been eating far too much.
I will really have to learn to say no to certain things. I just like the way food tastes
:)
I also like the way food feels. Textures are very important to me. Probably why the slim fasts are non palatable for me.
have been walking and with the stuff coming up will have to insist on getting my bum moving either on the bike or walking. I am important and need to take care of myself. Walking and biking feel good for me and while that extra few minutes in bed also feel good... hmm have to find some good compromise there.
Isn't that what life is all about?

05/02/11

did get up at my normal time this morning

It was a good weekend.

04/21/11

I should not be surprised but often am when I exercise after a while of not doing so, of how good I feel. Now am wondering if the blechy feelings I have been experiencing have been due to NOT exercising. Such a wicked little feedback loop.

10 flights of stairs
and 100 ab stuff
breakfast was1/2 cup of steel cut oats with a bit of milk and brown sugar
water and mt dew

Discovery about myself. I really like goals. I have a vested interest in exercising every day besides just my health. Which agreed should be the first reason but hey, I don't mind the extra motivation.
Which is in June there will be a bunch of new photos of me and I would rather have a couple of them at least look good to my eyes.

04/18/11

04/11/11

hmm missed a bunch of days
maybe I am feeling guilty and sulking still about being podgy. Yeah I know the work outs would help. I did get a couple walks and bike rides in this weekend and I did keep soda consumption down to one or two a day.
With all the crazy coming up this summer and knowing I will be in a picture or two, I will be getting a little more drastic in calorie control and exercising. Two hours a day they tell is what I need to achieve to make some difference in my body. Where the heck do I get that extra hour a day? Apparently, my current amount of exercise is only good for maintenance. So upping my game and finding ways to sneak another hours worth of exercise into my world.
I will let you know how that goes.

I ate ok
I drank far too much soda both caffeinated and not
was crabby and wanted nothing more but to hide in my loom room and weave.
up early this morning and discovered I still just wanted to weave.
had a mock sloppy joe and glass of milk for lunch
dinner tonight is probably the same
did not have lunch
might take myself for a walk when I get home. Maybe I just need to get out and get the wind in my hair.

waist:39 same as last month
hips: 45 same
thigh: 23 same
calf: 17 same
bicep 12 1/2 must have been wearing a thick shirt last month.

I am working out harder than even and cant seem to make headway with my weight- in fact I am gaining. WTF? I feel like getting a batch of weight loss drugs to just drop 20 pounds by june. I know that is not the way to lose it but I am might frustrated and this just seems to keep moving slower. Maybe I am eating more at meals? I will adjust my portions again.
Okay evaluate maybe change up my eating again. I have started eating more for lunch than I had been. I just opted for the yogurt and fruit + a protein lunch. Need to start making my favorite salad for every other day. Breakfast needs to be either a poached egg or cottage cheese.
Need to keep water as the drink of choice. 2nd mt dew or soda must be out of my life.
