My life My perceptions

As anyone who has been following this blog knows it has been a while since I have been on. I started this initially to cover my renewed hope of losing weight. While I am slowly shifting the weight around, lost 1% of my body fat, the ponds seem to be staying. Yes, muscle weighs more then fat. I got that a long time ago. Just hate stepping on the scale after a month to only see 5 lbs gone. While other friends on other programs loose 10+. My diet issues are hard to over come. Not being able to eat the free calorie foods stinks. Add to that stress associated with family issues. I would think the pounds would be dropping off. Alas no. One of the big reasons I have not blogged in a while is because I did not want to spread my feelings out there on the personal things going on. It has been mentioned to me that it bothers people to read about themselves even when names are not mentioned.

Okay, so far not too bad. I went to the gym yesterday and got my membership. Hurray!!!! I also did something I feel is important for me, I spent the money to get a personal trainer for 16 sessions.

I have already drank about 25oz of water. I had about 1/4 cup of pistachios for a snack. I did have 2 cups of coffee, can't keep away from the stuff. I do hope to switch to green tee though as that is a fat burner. I am not going to push myself too fast. That will only cause frustration and more cheating. I really wanted the frosty yesterday but did not buy it. Yea me. This morning I got on my WII and did some ...

As my first blog here I need to say I am not wholly comfortable with getting my thoughts and feelings out for everyone to share. So this will most likely on touch the surface. I started this today after reading both my step-daughters blog and my daughter-in-laws blog. It was after reading both that I realized just how different every on perceives the world around them. There are people that look at adversity and pout and say why me, and others that face the challenge and say to themselves, this stinks just let me make it through. I guess it depends for me what the situation is as to which way I go. It was not to long ago that I was told I am a doer. If it comes to getting things done I would rather do it and get it over with then not. I believe that is super true when it comes to work. Not so much at home. However, I am hoping to change that a bit. Today is the first day of my goal to lose 25 pounds by September. As most of my family and friends know I have certain dietary issues. I am...
