Weight Loss Journey

Got up this morning at 6:30 so I could get outside before the sun came over the hill and started to heat up.  Got the old mares fed and then worked George for about 30 minutes.  I do love the mornings but lately I've been having a hard time getting up in the morning and then I feel tired during the day.  This seem to go in spurts.  I think the prednozone is causing these issues because I have never been like that before.  I have a family reunion in two weeks so

My first camping trip of the summer with the horses  this weekend.  I am only taking healthy food so I don't have the opportunity to cheat.  My friend will have enough sweets.  I should be able to lose a few lbs. riding.

After a rocky start and not losing any weight the first 3 weeks, I have finally gotten on the right track.  I have managed to lose 8 lbs in two weeks.  Of course the migraines and allergies have helped a lot with the appetite controll.  I am getting used to not eating when bored, and if I do really need to eat, it is something healthier than junk food.  I have been eating a lot of apples with peanut butter, that seems to really help with the sweet cravings.  Have n

Down 4 lbs in the past week.  Haven't had much of an appetite the last few days and the 5 hour ride on Saturday took a lot out of me.  Been dealing with allergies and that is really knocking me down.  I hope the lack of appetite lately doesn't sabatoge me in the end and cause a binge.  I have forced myself to eat at times.

Last week was not good.  Went out of town for a night and things went to heck.  The weekend wasn't good either.  Start over tomorrow.  A friend wants to go camping with the horses next weekend so I really need to focus next week.

Weekends can be really challenging.  Went to visit my son yesterday and we always go out to eat, and if it's between 11 am and 2 pm, it's really hard to find a place that's not full when you only have one hour like my son.  We ended up at Hardees and I have the Chicken filet combo meal, small with curly fries and unsweetened ice tea.  The only good thing about that is it really fills me up and I don't feel like eating much the re

I have been told that I should not eat less than the min. calories per day.  I have eaten 1101 calories today, and I feel satisfied.  I do not mean to eat less, it just seems to be working out that way.  I hope it doesn't backfire on me.  I am a little concerned about bingeing next week. 

Made it through another day without hitting the sweets.  The office I work in always has candy at the front counter and cookies in the break room.  Makes it really hard to not cheat.  It helps to be busy.  I am not craving tonite :), It was nice outside so I managed to stay busy and not think about food this evening,  but I am under in my calories for the day by

I dropped 2 lbs since yesterday but I am guessing it is water weight.  If I drink a lot of water everyday I can lose at least five lbs in a few days.  I am really wanting to make pancakes right now.  If not pancakes, then popcorn with butter.  :( 

OK, it's after 10 and I am ready to go to bed.  Managed to stay away from the food.

First day on a website for weight loss and my very first blog experience.  I am really having a hard time not eating this evening.  Trying to keep myself mentally occupied and stay outside and doing things.  I was playing with the dog, but he decided that he wanted to go in the house where it is air conditioned.  I spent about an hour doing some horse training,  th
