HI EVERYONE,

 

I forgot to add that I will not use words like retarded in the near future.  It was pointed out to me that I should have not used that word and I agreed.

    Thanks   Pat!!!!!!!!                                                                               Bob

Hi everyone,

   How are things?    I need one of you to come to my condo and slap me!!!!!!!!!!   Ok!!!!!

 

Of course, I know my cousins are lining up for this.  Now, I need to change my mind on this

 

because, I know Pat is on his way over.  This means No pat-----------lol'

 

      I do not know if anybody from Lighten-up is checking out my blog.  Because, I have no

 

comments.  So, I will go with the following:  I make no excuses for myself.  I know what I ate and what I drank this last month.  Also, I knew I gained weight.  That # was 8 lbs.  It was a little higher

then I thought, but it was not a surprise.

 

    Over the years I have lifted weights and worked out  a lot, so I know what to do.  Also, I worked in a produce department for 29 years.  So, I know what I am supposed to eat, Vegie wise.

 

It is just time to start doing what I am supposed to do and no excuses.  That's the plan people!!!!

    By the way I have been to Alladins, but at lunch.

      Hi everyone, that is following me,

 

Ok, heres the deal:  My doctor told me to stay off my feet for the last 3 weeks and that my toe would be healed in about 3 more weeks.  So, I can not join a gym as of yet.   So, I get depressed and eat retarded, while laying around.........

           Then, I get pissed at myself, because I do not like making excuses.  So, now I am finally getting my crap together.

 

           I have exercise equipment in my room. I think in previous posts I mentioned them.  I have been using them for about the last 4 days.

 

            Also, I have been portioning out vegies in small bags as a snack.  I did this with my 5 year old neice Jade. She likes helping Uncle Bob.

           I have a great support system, My best friends brother who I have known my whole life, wants to get together with me and workout. He is recently retired.

 

            My best friends daughter lives this lifestyle and wants to help me with everything. Exercising and menus thru e-mails, she and her father live in Georgia.

 

            I also have a friend that is trained in the Martial Arts, who will help me anytime, great friend.  Then their are my Cousins, I can count on them at any time----Family is the best!!!!!!!!!!

 

          One last thing everyone should know, I am diabetic and until I lose the weight, My toe is the most important thing.  I do not want to lose it............

    Hi all,

 

        I thought by this time in my journey I would be doing much better.  But, that is not the fact yet.  I said yet, because I have not given up...........

 

      First I found out that my scale here is not working right.  Stop laughing and I will explain.  So, I started at 307.4 pounds at the weigh-in.  The next time I weighed myself I gained 4 pounds.  The next time I lost 10 pounds and then I gained 9 pounds, so explain that to me............

 

     Anyway,  regardless of the scale, I am not doing what I am supposed to be doing yet.  I think it is part depression and part laziness.  In a previous post, I told you about my diabetes.  Before the weigh-in, I saw my doc. and he said stay off my feet for 10 days. ( ulcer big toe ).  Then, I saw him on 2-4 and he said another 10 days--stay off my feet as much as possible.

     So, I did not make the dinner.   Next doc appt. is this Friday on 2-14.

 

       I will post again after I see my doc.  He knows I am doing Lighten-up and he is thrilled for me.

He thinks I will have no problem moving on after I lose the 5% of the weight I need to lose by the 26th of April.

      Since, I started this Journey, I told several close Family members and some very good friends saw my pic in the paper about Lighten-up.  One friend wants me to go swimming with him to help me with my weight loss Journey.

 

   Like I said, I have not given up and I will make this work, for ME..................with no excuses.

     Hi Everybody,

 

Well, I am not doing very well yet.......I know that I have told you all that I am Diabetic,  But, I have not shared everything until now.    1-18 was are weigh-in and 1-24 was my doctor appointment, about the Ulcer on my toe (left foot, big toe ).   

         He told me to stay off it for 10 days or he was going to put me in a cast.  Well, I took his orders to heart and stayed off it.  Which meant no exercise......

        Now, I saw him on 2-3 and he was thrilled how my toe looked.  The only thing now is: he wants me to do the same thing for the next 10 days...........

        I always follow my doctors orders.  which means no exercise again.  Its hard to lose weight when you can not exercise.  I see my doc again on 2-14 and our weigh-in is on 2-22.

         Here's the thing, I have been eating better, cheating here and their.  But, doing a lot better with food.  My biggest problem is fast food and chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

         

        I will figure out how to exercise with out my big toe.  I have a stationary Bike and an AB-DOER TWIST machine.  Those 2 should help me a lot.  We will see, I never give up on myself........

 

           This will work out for me---any suggestions---let me know when I see you guys at the meetings......................
