Walking

Yesterday evening was a great evening to walk. This time we didn’t stray too far from home and we even walked out 6 year old Chihuahua, Gizmo. Again we cut off into trails in the woods. It was amazing. You could hear small birds with big songs, hopping from tree to tree in the pine and oak canopies. I brought my camera this time to get fantastic shots, but as I turned the camera to get my first shot, the batteries died. Do’oh! I really need to check these kinds of things before I leave the house. Lol.

I didn’t notice how sore I was from the day before until I started to jog a bit. Everything from my mid torso to my calves was a little tight. I took it easy, because I didn’t want to push my luck and feel like complete and utter shit the next day. I am crazy about the weather in the evenings, low humidity and in the mid to upper 70’s. A welcome break from the insanely high humidity and uppers 90’s. Whew, summer time in the south is murder. This however is my favorite time of year. I love how the seasons change. You can just feel in the air that fall is slowly approaching. The position of the sun triggers nostalgia. It’s just the perfect time to get back on track and take charge of my life again. Right now, I am not really concerned about losing a whole mess of weight; I am more concerned about feeling better and eating right. If anything weight loss is a perk. It just really really feels good to cut out gluten and working on getting sugar out my life again.

I found out yesterday that one of my aunts have colon cancer. This is devastating to me! I just wish I could be back home in Texas right now. I just really hate being so far away and knowing so little. Hopefully my trip back to Texas will come sooner than later.

a little bit of nothing

so, i am trying to get online as much as i possibly can. and right now it's not that often. bummer. but things have been looking up even though at times it can be stressful. still haven't gotten around to getting that 20 dollar gym membership. my husband thinks it's more important to find jobs than work out. boo. 

 things will get better, things will be great. time to stay optimistic. if i can be patient to lose weight i can be patient for anything. i have a better outlook in life now. i am grateful for everything in my life.

p.s i have been taking alot of pictures of birds lately. got a great camera for xmas.

Full length mirror freak out. (lol)

The other day I got bored and decided to go to Wal Mart and try on some pants. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen myself in a full length mirror. When I finally saw myself, I flipped out. My waist to so much smaller and my upper body is a lot smaller. It’s crazy.  I can’t wait to take my monthly weight loss pictures to compare to October 26^th’s picture.  I had stopped obsessing over my weight loss since I saw October’s pictures. Even though I am technically 2 pounds lighter since then, the weight lifting I have been doing has helped out a lot.  I haven’t been running as much as I should be, but I pretty much do my weight lifting every other day. I plan to get back into running every day. It’s just hard to motivate myself into running some days. I do slip up and not want to exercise. I am not awfully worried about it because I eat pretty healthy every day. The only slip up I have food wise is French fries.  That’s honestly the worse food I eat. I have a hard time kicking French fries. But I don’t eat it as often either. I really don’t see the harm in having French fries every once in awhile.

I think tomorrow I will post some pictures. Of what I am not sure yet, but I am impressed with all the fat I have lost in my lower back. I have been thinking about getting a tattoo there, but my husband keeps telling me I should tattoo that spot when I am finally done with my weight loss. I’m just excited, I’m just a nerd for new tattoos.

i also forgot to post a picture of Arti yesterday.

Page update

I got bored and spent a few hours changing the way my page looked. So how does it look? I've searched for different types of pages but i couldn't find anything i liked. I ended up picking a template i liked and then tweeking it. It's been ages since i have messed with html.
