Hello Everybody,
So glad to see so many of my friends are returning to 3FC. I know you are here for the same reason I am….we fell off the wagon, lost our bearings and it is the new year and time to get back on track…..I am right there with ya!!
I told Alana Jo that I could have written her blog because she and I have been at this for 2 years and we somehow lost our way…but not permanently THANK THE LORD!!!
I reached my mini goal of below 200 and got all the way down to 188 pounds and now here I am back above 200 gggrrrrrr. I am keeping a weight journal and the Lord blessed me with a nice treadmill (at a thrift store for $30). I bought it last week and got on it for the first time yesterday (everytime I go to get on it, dh or ds or future dil would be on it…and you know I am not gonna fight for it…LOL!!! Well to make a long story shorter…I got on it last night for 15 minutes (not a lot but for a person with vertigo I have to take it slow and easy). Tonight after church, I did my devotions early and grabbed my new MP4 and headed for the treadmill. Hubby has the flu and ds had to go to bed early for work tomorrow so I had free course. I covered the display (all except for the distance) so I wouldn’t give up early,turned up my Gospel music on my MP4 and let it ride…I made a whole mile…for someone who has never walked on a treadmill, I was pretty happy with myself!!!!!!!
I am sure most of you remember my daughter (who lost 50+pounds and was my inspiration/pusher) this girl bought my hubby and me a 2 pound box of chocolates for our upcoming 27th wedding anniversary. She gave them to me the same day I got my treadmill. I left them in the van as long as I could without her getting offended, but I knew they would eventually have to come inside. Well I have had a few but been pretty happy with my resistance so far. I have a new weakness…those vanilla rolls you get from Aldi…ummmm! 2 of them are 140 calories and I could eat the whole can unaided!! I try not to get them but Sarah got 2 cans Saturday and I have had to have some…but they are not all gone….yet!!
Well off to bed earlier than usual because I have to go to the doctor in the morning (yuk) about a growth on my lil finger…hope it is nothing serious.
Just a quick update on Jade and DJ. They just celebrated their first wedding anniversary. I got her an album made; I didn’t do the chocolate thing to her like she did to me…. She is doing great in her nursing program. She has one more pre-req and she will actually start her nursing courses in earnest. Her hubby finishes up his second Master’s in March and has already enrolled in his doctorate program…this guy LOVES school!! On another note…my one and only grandson is growing like a weed. Hard to believe he will be 2 in July. I have pics on my myspace (www.myspace.com/jarjonja) if anyone wants to stop by there.
I hope everyone is getting back on track with the determination to succeed this time.
God bless!!!
Judy

You can add me to the “at this 2 years and in the wrong direction” crowd. But even better, put me in the “I’m stopping the madness in 2009″ group.
Sometimes throwing away the candy is helpful. We have chocolates from my father in law from x-mas. If I eat one, I toss one (usually one of the ones I don’t like). Or sometimes I use that approach to just bite into the corners to see if I like them. I throw out those I don’t like. It seems wasteful, but in fact I consider it just smart eating! Of course, my approach when my DH is around is to do the corner tasting approach and pass him all my castaways!
Well I haven’t thrown them away yet but I distribute them to everyone who comes by.
Well at least you know you are not alone in any of these groups since we are all in the biggest group (no pun intended) of overweight people. I look forward to hearing glowing reports at how ALL of us were successful in fighting the buldge.
