After my humiliating moment of posting my pictures and stats, I was motivated to get in shape! My morning flew away and I didn't have time for a regular breakfast, so by the time I had time, it was closer to lunch time. I made myself a yummy spinach, feta and apple salad with pine nuts and cranberries with a balsamic and olive oil dressing. It was so tasty, I went out on the deck and sat in the sun to eat it, just getting some sunshine I think helps the mind! After a long walk with a few friends I came back very hungry, dangerous part of the day, love my afternoon snacks. Hope happen to be in the kitchen getting a piece of our homemade banana bread, so I had her cut me a very small slice. Later I was still really hungry so I measured out 1/4 cup of a nut mix, usually I would just take the bag to my office and munch with out thinking. Dinner was a big taco salad, I put in tons of veggies, even spinach.
I'm not count calories, but I'm watching how much food goes over the lips! Today I'm going on a long hard hike with Devonany, we are going to do the north east side of Hodges. I'll let you know how we did! Off to get my breakfast!

Tough Beginning! The dreaded photo op!
Okay, first thing first, I had Steve take pictures of me in a tight shirt and shorts. That was hard, it became apparent right away I have been in denial for sometime. It is killing me to have to post them right here for all to see!!!
Next, I weighed myself, ah...umm...yeah... do I have to say? Honesty!! Okay, I weighed in at a whopping 164, ouch! I knew I should never have taken the scale out of my bathroom! But now everyone knows. It's all down hill form here, right?
Then I went and got my sewing measurement tape and started measuring the bod!
Neck -12"
Arms - 12.75
Breast - 41.50
Waist - 35
Tummy - 40.5
Butt - 41.5
Thigh - 23
No wonder I just sort of look like a tube, not much variation in the sizes.
My plan is to work really hard on taking the fat off the areas that don't need it and build up muscles where I do! So, how am I going to do this? First cut out calories, I'm not going to do anything drastic, but those mid-morning snacks and late afternoon snacks have got to be either removed or a better food choice to replace the junk food.
I want to post each day what I ate the day before, it might be a bit of a bore for some of you, but it will allow me to see where I'm cheating and hopefully some of you will join me in this and post your own stats and what your doing to get in shape.
It's 4pm and I'm a bit hungry, this is the hard time of day for me, I like to snack as I prepare dinner, so please when you think of me, send up a little prayer for me!
Till tomorrow, keep the Lord close!
