Been to busy to post lately


Sorry for not posting lately. This whole senior year and college prep is way more involved than I anticipated. I am so glad that I started this road to better health at the beginning of the year, rather than waiting to do it after Hope went off to college. I do not think I could have functioned at the level I have been, if I'd been eating and lack of exercise like I had been.

Since I last posted I haven't been getting the great hikes, a few here and there, I miss it terribly. Miss you Dev! But I'm still trying to get in what I can. It is hard to get out and do strong hill type hikes, most of them are in more remote areas and I do not feel comfortable hiking alone in these areas. We have a great hike just across the street from me, but it is remote and I worry about either falling or coming to some sort of mishap while out alone. Rattlesnakes are starting to show up, so now I have to be extra careful with Nari. I think she is rattlesnake safe, last one we came across, she literally jumped from the snake and kept her distants, even with out the rattle of the snake.
But you just never know if she just stepped on one by accident...or me for that matter. I almost did that one day, it was in the street I was walking, just sunning it's self, I was talking with a friend and didn't even notice it, until my friend grabbed me and yanked me out of the way. Close call! But don't let my snake stories scare you off from calling me and asking me to go for a walk with you... I'll keep my eyes out!
So as far as my weight and measurements go... I've stayed at the same weight for the past month, but have lost a few 1/2 inches in a few spots. I haven't been following my eating plan as well as I'd like, I just have to get back in to the good habits. I still watch my portion sizes, try to limit the sweets and carbs but don't do it to the extreme it takes to loose weight. Really like to get at least 5 more lbs off this summer.

Anyone up for some early morn hikes? Late afternoon or early evening hikes, (it's stays light till 7:30)???

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!
