I tend to over-think and over-complicate things...
Part of this healthy weight loss journey, for me has been to keep it very, very simple. Drink more water. Eat healthier food. Eat more reasonable portions. Move more. Lately, I'm also finding that I have to re-learn a few things....like how to recognize thirst, and fatigue. As a very young child, and continuing throughout most of my life, I have been trained (and sometimes pressured) to ignore my own feelings and needs in order to keep working, doing, and being for others. I'm learning that much of the time, when I feel "hungry" and would normally eat....I am actually tired, and need a nap. Who'd a thunk it?

Two words: Behaviour modification.... I went to lunch today with a friend who's mom has recently passed way.... This lil itty bitty thang had the "ultimate bacon and cheese omelette", hash browns and sour dough toast. I could have jumped right up and stolen all her food without a fight - but instead I had the chicken caesar salad anf brought my own no cal, etc dressing..... Also early this morning I spoke with the manager of the fitness center and kinda unloaded on him about Mr. Pimply assed 30 yr old trainer. I even threatened to pull my membership. I freakin actually stood up for myself (not for someone else but for me this time) and made my disappointment known. We'll see what can be changed when I go back on Friday morning.....

Wow! Good for you Jo! Sometimes standing up for ourselves is so much harder than doing it for someone else. That is awesome!
It has been a busy day. I can tell you that a little over a year ago, I would not have had the energy to do all that I did today and workout too. It is amazing how much energy I have lately. I love it. I found a soda at New Seasons today that has several different flavors, and is sweetened with Stevia. This rocks my world. It is a little bit flat tasting, but it will do for a nice treat. I have been doing well with my ECig, and have not experienced any overwhelming nausea or cravings for carbohydrate rich foods. So far, so good! I have at least a 6 mile hike coming up this Saturday with my buddies, Andrew and Kristen. I had a really intense full body medical massage today that I hope will make for a little less foot and leg pain during the hike. On Sunday I am attending a paddling workshop. I've been wanting to learn to kayak since I moved to Oregon, and my body is finally a size that makes this possible, and enjoyable. I think the medical massage may have helped me make some progress along the path to recovery with my wrist tendonitis and my planter fasciitis. Only time will tell, but she really dug into the muscles and tendons, and I really think this is what I have been needing. Lady_Di, thank you for your thoughts on that topic. You're right, there are probably many people like me, who may not be talking about their gastro issues. They are an off putting topic to a lot of people. It took self-diagnosis before my gastroparesis was finally addressed. I developed more than one medical problem from the prolonged lack of treatment, and the condition, which could have been temporary, has become permanent. Speaking up is very important when it comes to healthcare in this country, along with getting more than one opinion. Have a great evening all  |

Good Morning all ♥ Pulled my shoulder kinda bad at work, and doctor wrote me out until May 2nd.. Still exercising though, just not the arms, clearly.. talk about pain though.. i cannot stress this enough - no matter what you are doing (at work, housework at home, ready to work out , ANYthing physical) - stretch, stretch, STRETCH... prevent injury, just stretch it out... i will from now on, that is for certain, having an injury is no fun, and i certainly don't want it longterm... i will be stretching all the time now.. i might have prevented this injury if i was stretching properly, or maybe it wouldn't have been as bad.. lesson learned! ~~~~~~~ In other news, my daughter took a full body picture of me yesterday, and last night i put yesterday's picture along with a picture of me in June (after i had lost 30 lbs) and compared to my current loss of 98 lbs.. And i got emotional, wow.. NOW i can see the difference.. i hated taking my picture back then , i only had face shots and the picture of my full body is very, very rare.. so finding one after 30 lbs lost was a welcome find, and comparing them helped me finally see my loss, rather than feel it.. Because often i look in the mirror and still can't *see* it.. i mean the weight scale tells me so, and i feel it in my health but seeing the difference made all the difference.. That made me very happy! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Good morning healthies
Weighed in this morning at 199.2, so still on track. Breakfast (so far) this morning is fresh fruit salad and black coffee....although some protein will be had in a little while. Rooster and I have been on a fresh fruit salad kick....today's includes a quart of fresh strawberries, half a cantaloupe, an apple, a banana, two oranges....and yes, it'll be gone in one sitting.  If the weather holds up, dog beach and a 3 or 4 mile walk in the sand is on that agenda for today as well. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Dang, I must be getting old.... I only recognize Pit Bull and Lil Jon on your list! I went a friend's nephew's wedding last night.... Mormon bride so there was no alcohol....and very sedate (or so it seemed to me)... Catered mexican dinner.....not so good mexican which gave me a lot of gas (I know...TMI...Bwahahahahahhha) Big boost to my ego though when a lot of my "adopted" family told me how much I have changed since the weight loss has started.... That made my whole day/evening! Ready to hit the elliptical bike.... sometimes hard rocking music and some times watching videos on the iPhone to pass the time......
