Clutter

So, that little thing here off to the side...
the trash bag.
See it?
Yeah I am working on this.
I am starting today.
I have collected some books that we never read
and I am going to Hastings Books
and see if they will buy some back...
get some money for them :).Also, I am turning my eyes AWAY from the Yard Sale
at our new neighbor's home.
I don't need more junk.
There is a book called
"Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?"
FUNNY!
But, I do think it will be good for me to
unload this house clutter
along with my
Body Clutter
(I love this book...FlyLady. Love it!!)

Then I will be cleaning out the
kid's toy box and donate
the toys that they NEVER play with.
I may work on the collecting it from the
hidden little places during the week
and then do the
get ridding part
on Saturdays.
This will feel SO GOOD!!

Here We GO......

Ok, I had a great chat with a dear friend

and we have committed to doing our diets
(Life Change....because it is a change for life)
for 1 month at a time.
I can do that !!

To the "T"
(interesting little side link).
So, here I go.
The Thyroid Diet.
Carb-Sensitive Plan.

1 Month.
Day By Day.Thank you, Steph!

Saturday May 15th-Tuesday June 15th

Perfect Timing!

The battery on my scale died on Wednesday! I am pretty sure it is because I step on it AT LEAST 6 times a day. That is 6 times a day that I shoot myself down. 6 times a day that I get mad and frustrated! I read that same day Jill Knapp's post for her Get Up and Get Moving blog. Her "Fit Tip Tuesday". Yep....perfect timing!! Here's the post....check it out:


Get Up and Get Moving

Thanks Jill!!

I will only do weigh-in at TOPS on Tuesdays and at Kelli's Weight Management Class on Thursdays at the Conway Regional Health and Fitness Center (A.K.A. The Reducing Salon)

Lets see...this may help. At least I know that I won't be disappointed oh so very often. :)

I am Fit....

Yes, I know it is odd to say....for me.
I had my 6th session with Lindsey,
a Personal Trainer and the Reducing Salon.
She is great and she is challenging me.
I Think I surprise her with what I am able
to do and it is nice to have some one like her
tell me I do well and that I am fit.
And I think I surprise because I am fat.
hahahaha
I said to her today...
"I am strong, you just can't tell with all this fluff."
I am trying and trying so hard to un~fluff myself hahahaha.
Here is to Monday, a new start!

Appt. for tomorrow.....

This makes so much sense.
My time line of my son's birth,
the weight loss and feeling great for 2 months.
Then sudden weight gain of 30 lbs.

It will be taken out tomorrow and I am expecting a huge difference.

Check out this website that I found today after the thought came to mind this morning
"Is my IUD making me fat?"

I googled that question and found many sites and this one has so much
...I have been reading it all day and learning so much.

Life After Mirena

HOPE!

Weigh in

WOW frustrating!!!


ALL this month
(other than one Thursday that I was on strike and didn't step on the scale)
4 weeks,
here are the numbers.......
April 1st 255.9
April 8th Strike
April 15th 255.6
today
April 22nd 255.9

How the HECK does that happen!!

BLAH!!!

I have quit.....

I have quit.
I have quit searching, and searching all the diets.
I am getting whiplash from changing constantly.
Not even long enough to see if it works.
I found a blog with a link from Mary Shomon on Facebook.
The blog is :
http://mollysthyroidjourney.blogspot.com/

This is just what I needed to read.
I know that my problem is my Thyroid....
it only make sense to do the Thyroid Diet
written by Mary Shomon.

I printed out all the foods I should have
and all those I should avoid.
I took them and had them laminated.
The good on the front and bad on the back.
Stuck a few motivational illustrations
in the lamination and stuck it to the fridge.
I also printed up the chart to keep track of my foods
and use as a journal.
Not so much a food journal with all the calories.....
so much for my Calorie Cash
(I don't think my intake of Calories is the problem.
I am thinking it is the high-glycemic foods I ate and the blah blah blah).
A place to track the foods I have problems with
and a place to write my thoughts and all.
Anyway, I was reading about it in the book
and I dreamed about it all night.
Thyroid stuff and some one trying to kill me....
that was my dream....
that tells me something right there.

I am feeling good about this one
and I have stuck to it longer than the others
I have attempted lately.....
5 days and it is looking good.
I think my weigh in days here will be on Thursdays.
The day of one of my weight loss classes.

I have also signed up for a personal trainer! WOO HOO!

I am hopeful and that is a necessity for weight loss!!!
