I'm stuck...


I'm stuck...

The scale has not moved in the last 3 weeks. I mean, it's good it didn't go up, but it just stayed the same. And that is disheartening. I can't pinpoint what I need to change. I've been doing my shakes, watching the junk (depriving myself of things I want and making better choices), and eating more salads.


The only things I can think of is I'm not exercising and some nights I've been breaking my own rule and eating a snack after 8pm.

Granted, I did eat some lunchmeat yesterday. Maybe I'm retaining water from that.
I wish I could go to the gym, but I'm not comfortable yet due to COVID. Yes, I'm over cautious about it (and that's my choice) but I wish things were back to normal. I liked using the treadmill and then a few machines like the Ab thingy.

I try not to let the scale own me, but watching numbers drop is more motivation then numbers staying the same.
I need to get outside and walking.

Motivation is key - right? I am motivated. But I need to see the numbers move. (down, preferably, lol)
I wonder do I need to do a cleanse to jump-start my weight loss?
I've been busy working on new books, which requires sitting, all day. And by the time I take a break, it is only to make dinner. But I need to force myself to make that change and get some exercise in my day.

It's Friday, and I'll cut myself a little slack this weekend, but I think I'll try to stick to healthy eating for most meals. And it's a long weekend here. But I have to try - for me.

Make good food choices and stay safe!

I'm Ready

One thing about getting healthy is, YOU have to be ready. No one telling you it is time to start ever works. YOU have to be the one that makes that move and really feels it in your soul. Trust me. I've started more Mondays and 1st of the months than you can imagine, and I wasn't ready so it didn't work. I've had people try to motivate me and again, that doesn't work.  I planned to start again this past Monday, but this weekend I really FELT it, I was READY. Day three and I haven't failed yet. So, I'll put that in the win column! I haven't started to exercise yet because this goofy weather has me miserable/ill with migraines and sinus issues. But making those better food choices at each meal/snack is step one. And drinking my water. Getting started is the hardest part, but I'm working it and taking it meal by meal. Two days down and a lifetime to go!

A kind word goes a long way.

I know it's April Fool's Day, but I don't do that, lol... I never have been a fan of it. But today I took the dog outside, and a neighbor who I haven't seen in a few months (because if it's cold out, I hurry up and get the dog inside as quick as possible, lol) was leaving her house. I waved and said hello. Now, either she was on one of those blue tooth phones, or she was talking to me. I am always the dummy who thinks people are talking to me when they really are talking on those, lol. She said "hello" and "you look great". I was shocked yet thrilled. But the thing is, today I have on the biggest shirt that I own (it is for real a 4x) and clearance "house pants" from K-Mart. The thing is, yes, I've lost 30lbs so far. But I don't see it. (Okay, I do in my face. I LOVE how I've almost lost all my extra chins. I've become the selfie princess since my chins took a hike, lol.) But I don't see it in my body. Yes, I ...

To Squat or Not to Squat...

I've never been able to do squats because I have bad knees. As as in life, my bad knees that prohibit me from doing certain exercises are partially due to my weight! #catch22 There are so many aerobic moves that make my knees do nothing but click, and my really bad knee will sometimes give out on me. So, that brings me to my new purchase. I bought the DBMethod machine. It is essentially to help you do squats while keeping the pressure off of your joints. But it is an overall aerobic workout (so it says) and helps with your pelvic floor (again, something that not only age but weight destroys) I did 10 the other day and my legs were like jello after, I couldn't walk, LOL Today I did 30. I think my form is correct, and I could feel the burn in my thighs. (again, I hope that is what I should be feeling, lol) I will go up a little each day until I get where I should be for an ideal daily workout. I can be the guinea pig to see if this machine is worth the money, lol. It's small,...
