Chasing away Chubby

First, I want to thank sarah for the item you sent me. It is in place and doing its job and everything in that area of my body is now functioning as its suppose to.  THANK YOU!!

Now on to catching up.  On October 17th Josh hit me with a pillow (just a regular sized sleeping pillow) and when I raised my hand to block it, it snapped my Pinkie near the joint and now is in a temporary cast. Its a half cast held on with ace wrap, that I can remove when I need to take a bath or write. I go back today to have Xrays to see if its healing correctly. Its not been alot of fun and was pretty painful for about a week, but it has gotten me out of some chores.

It has also sidelined me from my diet. I had lost 4 pounds down to 226, but have gained 2 pounds back.  Today I am starting my day by drinking my smoothie (strawberries, blueberries, dark cherries, raspberries, locally made apple cider, 1/2 an apple, organic grape juice, 2 packages of yogurt (with the good bacteria in them), 2 tsp of benefiber, 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar, 1 T. of locally grown honey.  It makes enough for breakfast for 2 days. i have noticed that It helps run excess water weight off, I am not sure why.  Plus it tastes good. I have been trying to eat healthier. I am concermed about the food we have been eating and I am trying to buy healthier food. Around here it is hard to find organic food and impossible to find grass fed beef, but I am doing my best. I have also cut out sweets. I have quit buying candy and processed snack cakes.  THe sweetest thing in my house is pop tarts (okay not nutritional, but keeps DS5 happy and you have to make compromises!!) I read 2 articles this morning about healthy foods, and what you should and shouldn’t eat, and how to live to 100.  So here are the links.

I am going to go into town early and go walk today. I want to work back up to runnign now that I am feeling stronger.  Can’t wait to get this hand healed enough where I can lift some weights too. I have gotten so fat, flabby, and everything is heading south again!! God I hate that!!

So basically I am back at square one again and going to start losing weight again. Still reading the makers diet book, but am unsure whether to try it. I always get suspisious of diets when the author is touting his own products. Feels a little like a scam to me, but the diet I think is sound. But I would not buy any of his  products. We’ll see.

Well off to my day. Hope everyone had a fabulous day!!
