Just for Mary

Mary this is for you...


So I have been not blogging like I really wanted to... Life happened I guess, so I'll fill you in on what's been going on.


Saturday morning I woke up got on the scale and realized that I had to do something.  I was 248 and that's 2 pounds away from 250.  Also the day before my sister told me she had lost 50 pounds, so I'm thinking that she is close to weighing what I weigh if not weighing less.  You know that had me thinking, I am not going to be the largest one in the family because as of now Greg is now weighing in the 240s which means yes my husband is probably smaller than I am.  So I bit the bullet and went to the 10:30 meeting.  


Like an alcoholic I had to admit there was a problem and of course it is not alcohol, but food.  Ms. Jane was very supportive and the meetings topic was right on because it was about setting a goal for summer.  And it had to be a specific attainable goal, not I want to lose weight or I will track.  So I thought to myself okay.... 


Goal 1 - I will exercise for at least 20 minutes 3 days.


Goal 2 - I will track 5 days this week.  


So far so good, today has been my only slip up and it is because of the bereavement buffet, which I cannot even begin to calculate the points.  But I was conscious of what I ate and feel like I did good.


I did come home and eat some bananas, strawberries, and peaches from the Yo'Nana.


Tonight I ate boiled shrimp and crabs, not too much and then again some watermelon.  


I'm going back to a meeting on Friday or Saturday morning and hopefully I will see something happen. I know that I have to believe in myself and know that I can and will do this!
