    Hello

    By Teresita,

    Somebody is going to think I am crazy but I went to Bed Bath and Beyond for the first time yesterday. I wish I could have seen the look at my face when I walked in. I was shocked that it was a real store and I just kept looking up. I thought is was going to be like Ross or you know not a very organized store. Now that I think about it, I have been in the one in Waldorf. This one was just in a smaller space so everything went up. You should have seen me looking up at the stuff on all the shelves. LOL :biggrin1: Anyhow, I was looking for a candle and they were so expensive so a sales lady helped me. Showed me some holders and I found one for 99 cents :nervous ha ha . Also some voltives so I bought diffrent fragarances as a sampler. I go next do to a craft store to get a gift bag and they had big candles sitting at the door very inexpensive. LOL again. I decided to keep what I had because they were "yankee candles" ha ha a name brand. I'm silly but it was fun. I want to go back to BB and B. I am just rambling on. With all my running around for about an hour gas station, Trader Joes, BB and B, craft store, did I say I stopped in Payless LOL. That dag on Payless only went up to an 11, I guess I have to go to big feet land and find my shoes. Anyhow, I wish I had the funds to just shop like crazy. Oh wow, I wrote down everything I spent yesterday and that was so cool. Budgets man!!:sick

    I am feeling better today. I spoke to my girlfriend's, who passed suddenly, mom yesterday for the first time sense the funeral. I am so glad I did.
     
    I cooked yesterday and that was nice also, cabbage and wingettes. Ummmm ummmmm
     
    Did I exercise yesterday.....no......just danced a little.
    Will I exercise today, YES!!!
     
     
     
    Later.......
    I'm having a good day now. God is good all the time.

    New Day

    By Teresita,

    OK Tuesday Weigh in day is always a new day. OK so I didn't gain, Thank God.....but needless to say this is not where I wanted to be today....393.
    I'm dragging, I don't feel like it....
     
    I will do what I can....
     
    PMS - I really can't deal with other peoples crap right now.:phanvan I can't stand people who break promises....ALL THE DAM TIME!!
    I need to go to the pool before I come on.
     
    Oh bright note, today is Lamonds birthday.:Banane20: Part of what's bothering me is that I did my bills last night and .......I'v got to pay them by myself. To be married or not to be married is that the question.....NO.....just can't get everything I want RIGHT NOW.
     
    Today is a venting day, pms can be so emotional for me.

    Hello

    By Teresita,

    There are things I want to say but this is public. It is a new day and I am blessed.
     
    I thank god for another day
    He woke me up this morning
    I had a safe drive into work this morning
    I have a roof over my head
    I have lost weight
    I will be productive today!!!
     
    I did not go to TTC because of the weather and flood warnings. TOPS may be cancelled tonight and I am trying to wrap my brain around that. That means I will have to go 2 weeks before weigh in.
     
    I WILL look for a scale this weekend. I believe the weight watchers scales are sold at Hecht's. I will look into it. I really need a scale at home.
     
    NEWS Flash WW scales do not go up to 400 pounds,,.....they suck. I am so glad I NEVER tried them. They don't cater to the super morbidly obese obviously.
     
    Oh well, I found some anyhow.
     
    :pound: :grouphug: :hug: :clap: :success1: :Banane20: :Banane20:
    THESE MAKE ME HAPPY

    Monday

    By Teresita,

    Weekend turned out well even with rain. Got a 2 mile walk in w/Pooky Sat. with incline. I don't want to do 3 miles anymore unless it's at HP. I won't force that extra mile. My excuse is that oh I'm going to the pool anyhow.
     
    OK off that. I put on my 32 goal jeans and I think I can acutally wear them now without them cutting in to my gut. YEAHHHHHHHH. I was actually able to get the muffin top into the top of the jeans. It sits above the pants just a little and not hang over like it use to. I am also wearing a shirt today that someone gave me about 4 years ago and I couldn't get into then. It's a 5x, it is just amazing when you find out how big you really were. I am embarrased that I had gotten so big. I don't need to be cheating in any kind of way. My eating has not been good, portions are small but the food is not a good choice. I will turn this around ASAP and begin meal planning again. I will be having my good ole grd turkey, sour cream, refried beans and salsa for dinner. A veggie, I need a veggie, oh mixed vegatables.
     
    Sunday we had a great time at our meeting. Everyone is doing so well losing. We all fall off the wagon but thank God we have each other to push our fatarzzes back up on it. :heh:
     
    I don't like to be pesamistic but I like to deal with reality. I don't see myself meeting my birthday goal but I look and feel better. I will continue to strive for 375 and will celebrate when I hit it. I want to find out what my weight is tomorrow at TOPS badly. I hope and pray that the 5 pounds I gained last week are gone. I will be doing the Walk Away the Pounds tape this evening. I'm sure the pool will be closed this evening. I have Take the Challenge this evening anyhow. TTC I know that will be a good workout and with less people because the shopping trip is today for some folks.

    Today

    By Teresita,

    WOW today is one of those days...not in the negative but just one of those days....I guess I mean a good day. I feel like praising God. Thank you Lord....I guess it is kinda contagious. Like a smile is contagious, is someone smiles at you, you smile back most of the time. I just spoke to a friend who just kept giving God the Glory and saying he is here becuase God woke him up. I forget sometimes in a small way. I am so blessed, wow in so many ways. A freind called with some problems and I didn't want anything negative but God gave me the patience and words to encourage her yesterday. I am sorry she is going through what she is going through but it takes someone else's problems sometimes to see how blessed you are. The grass is not always greener on the other side but I am the type of person that wants to come over and help you water your grass so it can be as green as you want it to be.
     
    Patience is key in life. Love yourself.
     
    Thank you Lord for this day
    waking me up this morning
    giving me the ability, walk, talk, see, think
    NOT HURTING, NO PAIN
    for my aparment
    for my vehicle
    for food on my table
    for a job
    for my friends
    for my child with no problems or diseases
    for my family
    for lbt
    for my support groups
    for being my Lord and Savior
    for being a mercy for God
    for allowing me to help others
    Lord I pray that there is peace on this earth and allow every to come to know you in an intimate way
    Lord I thank for contiously blessing me everyday
    thank you for every breath
    thank you for every beat of my blessed enlarged heart
    Lord jesus you are an awesome God
    Thank You:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

    Friday

    By Teresita,

    I'm happy to say I did a 2 mile walk yesterday morning. Around 2:30 I went to the community pool for about 1 1/2 hours. I had a ball even though my daughter just stood in the pool. She had fun also. I kept my feet off the floor majority of the time just working my arms and legs the whole time.
     
    I will be walking Saturday and Sunday!!!!
  11. Teresita

    Whatever

    By Teresita,

    Ok this is Bull....yeah I weighed in......with a 5 pound gain. Life goes on, I wanted to cry but not as bad as once I weighed in and was in total shock that I had gained. Anyhow, I almost left before my friends got there but once they were there I stayed. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Today is a new day. I have goals and I will do what I have to do.
     
    I stopped walking during the weekdays and did not really replace it with anything. After work yesterday I went home and did the Walk Away the Pounds 3 mile tape. I was happy once it was over and a sense of accomplishment and I can do this since it is hot outside.
     
    I will do the tape everyday after work. There are my 3 miles again. I will continue to walk early on Saturday and Sunday.:scared:

    June 20

    By Teresita,

    I feel good about going to TTC last night. I feel like I got in a good exercise. With all that sweating, it better have been a good exercise.
     
    I am excited and nervous about weigh in tonight. I need this weigh in so bad to get that motivation. I have a burger for breakfast, soup for the rest of the work day and my daughter made me a pbj so I may share that with my co worker. We're crazy.
     
    I don't know why I wait until the morning to really think about what I am going to wear especially knowing I usually have to iron stuff. I kinda forgot I needed to wash my hair this morning because it was totally wet from sweating. I washed my hair and grabbe no iron clothing. I think I'm kinda cute today becuase it is a black cami with a sheer black blouse with flowers and a little beading.
     
    I need to throw the rest of this burger away because it is sitting in my chest, as if I didn't know.
     
    What am I going to do to keep from eating EVERYTHING when I get off. Weigh in does not begin until 6:15. You know when I get home I lose my mind on Tuesday's. POPSICLES that will be the answer. I will walk while OPRAH is on and then have 2 pops.

    Good Morning

    By Teresita,

    Well today is one day away from having to weigh in after 2 whole weeks. It has been driving me ......to eat...not crazy. Yeah I will blame any weight gain on them.
     
    I am exciting and scared to weigh in. I am glad I walked this weekend. 3 miles at Haines Point with Kee was not easy. Thank God for sending one of his angels, a fiesty, older lady who could out walk us decided not to walk with her 2 daughters but with us. She talked and she walked and talked and walked. Finally she decided to leave us near the end but if she had not been with us I would have said Kee I need to slow down and would have. This woman kept our speed up.
     
    Also, everything was going on at the park. There was a triathalon going on, there is a swimming pool down there. There was a 10k training going on and it had to be about 200 people doing that. Then there were the usual walkers and joggers and all of this was going on at 7:30 am.
     
    Sunday morning I knew I had to walk so I text Kee again and she said where. I thought PGCC would be good because the track was resurfaced but then I started thinking about the sun. So I said Watkins Park, which is what she said on Saturday. Then she said well let's walk around Fed Ex Field, you don't know how big that things is but I got to her house got out the car and we were stretching. I said are we going to be in the sun the whole time and she said pretty much. I said let's go to Watkins, I can't do it. After not walking for a few weeks, daily, I was not motivated to walk in the beeming sun, after walking yesterday and know how I was struggling....oh no. We went to Watkins and the trees were just a tall and blocked out ALL the sun. LOL There are 2 spots on the trail that does not have tree coverage and that sun was beaming. 3.4 miles done in comfort. That girl has more energey then a jumping bean.

    Let's see how many days to go...4 days till next weigh in which I am nervous about. 18 days till birtdhay and 22 days till bandiversary. Not a lot of days but I will do what a girl has to do.
     
    I have to get on the ball. My eating is not what it should be. I'm not going to beat myself up over it because I have less restriction, I have been eating things I normally would not but the novelty is wearing off. I am slowly getting back to slimfast, frozen diet meals and meal planning. I'm also getting back to my exercise. Not full force yet but I will be there this weekend.
     
    Work out now June 20 weigh in will help me better gauge what I am going to do.
     
    Next week slimfast, salad, protein, soup.

    I Love God

    By Teresita,

    I did a little floor exercise last night and this morning with a bit of cardio. Ran in place for 2 minutes this morning.

    Uhhhhh what was I going to say......well I'm back today NEXTTTTT

    NSV for me

    By Teresita,

    I got my pressure checked yesterday and it was fine. I have saying for months that I was going to get it checked. I will not wait and put it off like that again.
     
    I am not making the best food choices right now but I am conscious of what I am eating.
     
    I did not workout yesterday so I built up a sweat sorting throught clothes. I was able to actually thrown some clothes out, box some up for someone else and hang up so old thing that now fit again. I have on a top today that was once too tight but today it is baggy. I had my ex boyfriend button down shirt in the closet so I tried it on and guess what....it buttoned up and was tight at the bottom button. Woohooooo who would have thought....I'm happy.....this feels good.
     
    I am going to do this, I know I am. I'm not going to waste anymore time of my life being overweight and unhappy.

    Weigh In

    By Teresita,

    I just found out that my doctors office scale goes up to 400 pounds......am I happy or am I sad......I don't know but since there is no TOPS meeting I think I will be making a little run to Waldorf to get on the scale and get my pressure checked. YEAHHHHH that is what I am going to do. This is one of those times I would could my girlfriend Linda, who passed, to ask her to ride with me and she would. Whenever I called her to say you wanna go.....she was ready. She was always on time and but of course early. I don't have anyone to share my joy with anymore. She would feel my pain and feel my happiness as if it was her own. I know we were a blessing to each other. I am glad I went to the hospital when I found out she had surgery. I don't feel bad about not going back up there before she passed 2 days later. God allowed me to see her one more time. God is good.

    I feel great right now. I needed that time with friends this weekend. It was a beautiful day, all the way around. I feel peaceful today.

    Feelings/Emotions

    By Teresita,

    It's not PMS but I just feel off. I want to cry periodically, I want a hug.....I know I am missing Linda. I feel like a failure.....(psychological examination) my father once told me I did nothing right.....that kinda stuff doesn't go away. It is a shame the stuff we hold on to and just creeps back into our minds. All the shit I forget and this is something that I remember.
     
    Whatever
     
    I ate to much last night....my band is officially missing but I will try to ignore that and continue for another week before I decide to get a fill. My band hides every now and then.
     
    Life Sucks Sometimes ha ha ha ha but God is Good All the Time, I like that
     
    I would just die if I had to get on a scale today.
     
    I can't stop eating.

    Saturday- It began raining when I left home, so I went to the track. There were people there so I said if they can do it so will I. I would stop if it rained harder but the rain and cool breeze felt so refreshing. I kept walking. I did 3.5 miles and wanted to do more. Some folks left the track but more came. I like that... I have not been walking due to the heat (excuse) but my body responded well to the rest. Later that day I walked again with Crystalstart 2 miles at Tucker Rd Path.
     
    Sunday- 3 mile walk at HP w/Crystalstar I felt great, we took a break by the water and it was just an awesomely, beautiful day. I felt so good that near the end I would job a tiny bit. I felt good to have the extra energy at the end. WOW I hope next weekend is as beautiful and cool.
  25. Teresita
    I have to get serious about doing my exercise at home. I can not walk out there in that heat. I WILL walk EARLY on Saturday and Sunday....7am should be good at HP and or Watkins. I love the morning anyhow.
     
    I am wearing my pedometer and trying to put steps on it throughout the day. I made an attempt to get all my steps in yesterday but I only got about half....not good. I will do more today for sure. I have to run errands so I will do laps around Wal Mart. LOL
