I did NOT feel well this morning when I woke up. My breathing felt really labored. I opted to not exercise today as I was not sure what was happening with my body. I didn’t want to get to the Mountain and then have some sort of attack. I got up, took my FrequenSea, made my smoothie, took my pills and then went back to bed. Then Joy had me to make some concoction of fresh parsley, 1 cup of water, 2 cloves of garlic and some cayenne pepper mixed in the blender and then I drank it. I think this was to clean out the kidneys. Then she had me to juice 2 pears and drink the juice and that was to move my bowels. I’m not quite sure how it works but I sure hope it does. I don’t like feeling this way. I WILL go on and complete my goal. The devil is a LIAR!!!! Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.

Did more weight loss encouragement tonight. Met a wonderful lady named Donna. She is someone I will definitely be hooking up with to encourage.

Walked Stone Mountain 7:30am then did the Senior Center. Hips started hurting; however, did more helping physically today than in the past. Felt sort of depressed tonight. Not really sure why. I talked to Dean and she tried to encourage me. Perhaps it’s just PMS or something hormonal. Also, my breathing felt kind of labored this evening. Not really sure what that was all about either.

Did Stone Mountain around 11:00am and then went to Walton County ran errands, got salt, went to Rainbow market did some shopping, had lunch, was really a pretty good day.

Bought a one year pass for Stone Mountain today. Now, we can go anytime.

Well it is Mother’s Day today. I am truly missing mom; however, I know I will get through the day just fine and tomorrow will be another day.

I finally went to sleep after 1:00am last night and I woke up this morning at around 4:30am or so. I took the opportunity to do some praying and that felt really good. I tried and tried to go back to sleep and I sort of did go in and out of sleep. Finally at 5:45 a.m., I couldn’t stay in bed any longer so I got up and got my laundry started before anyone else was up and then I decided to clean. Strange things are truly happening to me to where I have the energy to clean at the weirdest times. Oh well, I am going with it as long as it comes upon me. I put the laundry in and then went back to bed for a little while.

Well it’s Saturday and Joy is off to a breakfast at a church where she is speaking on health. I chose NOT to go because I am not ready to sit through a church breakfast. I don’t think I am ready to deal with being around food in a confined area. I am sure that it will do lots of weird things to my mental realm. I know that it would make me extremely irritable because I would want to eat the food and wouldn’t be able to do it. I am experiencing some problems right now with wanting to eat. I am finding myself nibbling (Read on …)

Today was another pretty uneventful day.

I was proud of myself with regard to exercising today. Since I was here all alone I decided to take one of my exercise DVD’s into the living room and exercise. I did it. I did all the exercises even the ones he did on the floor. It felt really good to make a right choice and do it for myself without anyone else directing me to do the right thing. Yeah for me!!!!

I spoke with my best friend again and she encouraged me that God is still in control and he has this whole thing in control. God is greater than all things and He IS in control. Praise Him for His Majesty!!!

Well, I did not sleep very well last night. I was hot and uncomfortable. I will have to see what I can do to rectify this situation. I guess all in all it was a good day.

For the most part these days I stay in my room and work on the computer. I think that I realized something today that I had not thought of before. As I was mulling over in my mind the constant inability to be anywhere on time reminded me of (Read on …)

Well today was not a very eventful day pretty much by my choice. Today is the 30 day marker of my dieting experience. 30 days ago I started on this healthy venture and to date I have lost 95 pounds. I would say to lose 95 pounds and 30 inches in 30 days is quite monumental wouldn’t you? I spent most of the day in my room programming my new MP3 player that we got yesterday at Wal-Mart. I needed something to take with me when we walk the track so that I can listen to music. So, I think that I finally got it programmed properly or at least good enough for it to do what I need it to do.

I gave Miss Olean $ today so that if she goes to the market she can buy me a pineapple. She went and brought back a pineapple and cut it up and put it in the refrigerator for me. Rosa had saved some plates of food from the class today and brought them by we ate that and boy was it good. I am having a hard time believing that you can eat healthy and it really is tasty. However, I continued grazing what seemed like the rest of the day. I found myself eating walnuts, pineapple, watermelon and whatever else was around. I guess I mostly found myself nibbling on the walnuts because they were out in a big bowl. Soo does that mean that my food addiction is not gone yet? I suppose that it might never be gone I will just have to learn to push myself away. Miss Olean was making some pork n beans and I must begrudgingly admit that I did have a fork full of those too. That made me really upset with myself because I know that I’m NOT supposed to do those things. However, if I look at the good side of it I guess that I would have to say that it was good that I only had ONE fork full and NOT more. I do know that I was doing wrong because I felt like I was sneaking food when I had the bite. When you feel like you are being sneaky then you know you are doing wrong. I KNOW with God’s help I will and am overcoming this addiction.

Oh well, off to bed I go. I’ll see how good I sleep tonight.

Today my friend Dean came over to pick up her Cacao and then we went out and spent the afternoon together. I met her daughter, Deanna, she is a really wonderful young lady. We took my car and went to Conyers, GA. We had a delightful time. We went to Wal-Mart because I wanted to pick up some things. After we went to Wal-Mart we were going to go and get something to eat and we sort of got turned around and when we got to the place it was too crowded so we went over to a health food place to find that it wasn’t there. Sooo we ended up going to get a pedicure at a place nearby. I was able to get a pedicure in the Spa Chair. This was a first for me. The people there were so nice. They didn’t make me feel fat at all. They just opened up both sides of the chair so that I would be comfortable and then got on with the pedicure. After we were finished we headed back toward home. So, all in all it was a great day.

I got weighed today and I have lost 90 lbs.
