Happy Weds! I was up at 4:00 a.m. this morning! LOL! I don't know why I stayed up...at least until 6 and then I took a 45 minute nap! Ha ha! But I found out there are exercises shows on the PBS channel at that time of day! I did one that is all chair exercises and then i did one that was called "Morning Stretch". I liked the first one but the second one the woman moves too fast and is not very good at explaining what you are to do. I only did 15 minutes of the second one. There is a Yoga one that comes on at 6:00 so maybe I will try that one next.
On Monday in addition to what I already put in the blog, I rode my exercise bike 45 minutes.
Tuesday I did workout #5 on Kim Lyon's 3rd DVD Stand Up and Shape Up and then 15 minutes on the bike.
Of course you know what I did today so far! :-)
I feel pretty good. I have to get bloodwork done later. Not a fasting one so I did have breakfast this morning of a cup of blackberries and 2 eggs over easy (cooked in spray oil!) and of course I had my coffee!
I have been praying about starting First Place 4 Health. They have a group at church that meets on Sunday nights or Tuesday mornings. I think it would be good for me and would help work on all the areas of my life and not just food and exercise. I will post in here about that when I start.
Sorry this post is not too exciting! I will try to get back here this afternoon and list my foods from the last couple days.
TTFN!

Back to blogging
The past two months have shown me that unless I blog---I am not accountable to myself or others in my weight loss journey. Two family reunions in a row have really wreaked havoc on my weight, plus whatever I was (or rather wasn't) doing before! I have gotten lazy again in several areas of my life. SO! I am doing this blog again! I know you are all thrilled beyond words LOL!
This morning so far--I had the last of my homemade cinnamon rolls (this was before my revelation!) And I have made a salad using millet, cucumber, tomatoes, green pepper, red onion, olive oil and vinegar. Seasoned with a dash of seasoned salt.
Weight I reallllllllly don't want to reveal but ok---244.5 This means I have gained back 10 pounds in the last month. ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! But also I weighed myself AFTER being fully dressed so I will weigh again tomorrow while in my "jammies"
Housework--I cleaned the kitten boxes and feed them and played. Put away dishes and loaded some more into the dishwasher. Sweeping floors will be next on list.
Exercise--I walked 20 minutes and lifted my dumbbells a little. I plan on riding the recumbent exercise bike later....hold me to this readers! I see a neighbor go out each morning with her hand weights and pink exercise suit walking. I admit I feel guilty! If she can do so can I! So here are my goals this week:
1. Get up at 5:30 and spend time in Bible study
2. Aerobic exercise of some kind at least 3x this week (Can be a DVD, walking, swimming)
3. Strength training 2x this week
4. Keep up on housework--dishes, floors, cats,
5. Plan and cook healthier meals again.
Also on Weds I have to get blood work done for my Oncologist appointment. I was going to have some from my family doc but have decided to skip that for now. I will wait until next month when my eating is back to what I was doing. Don't think I want a cholesterol check just yet after all the reunions! LOL!
Been listening to Kim Hill's version of "Jesus I am resting, resting". I love this version of the song. It is a calming peaceful song and it calms me down and helps me reflect on the love of Christ. I know He is always with me!
Have a great day! God has given you another one!
