Sunday
Back to posting and back to tracking my food.
I track my food on livestrong only because I have been on that site long enough that most of my regular foods are in the data base and easy for me to find. I have not tried other sites long enough to full know if I would like them better. Caulk it up to just plain laziness on my part.
Breakfast
egg ,sausage and rice fried in a touch of olive oil .
This is a normal breakfast for me . I am grain free with the exception of rice. For those of you that may be new to reading my blog , I have celiac disease and am soy , gluten, mostly grain free.I eat very few processed foods . I eat very healthy ( I think) I just tend to eat to much ,lol.
Morning snack
greek yogurt and blueberries
Lunch
ground turkey , pasta sauce,peppers,onions and rice pasta
cottage cheese
I tend to eat alot of ground turkey. Turkey is one of the few meats my body tolerates well .
Snack
Banana
Dinner
black beans with rice ,fried onion in olive oil
Snack
hard boiled egg
liquids for the day
black coffee
black tea
water ( not enough water )
total calories 1649
52 % carbs/ 18% protein /30% fat
exercise
2 mile walk
total calories higher than I am striving for.
my goal is under 1500 calories 50 % carbs 20% protein 30% fats
I am back at work tommrow so I am now going to plan my food for the day.
Have a great evening guys :)

Back again :)
I have not been posting since May.
I have not worked since May .
I basically took the summer off to play and have fun. I had a great time just spending time with my grandchildren.
But I am back to work starting Monday , fall is here in northwestern Pa so I am back to posting and tracking my weight loss.
Be forewarned my post may be boring,lol , some what technical in nature.
I see all these wonderful blogs that I follow , they are so well written and witty.
I am not much of a writer. So there may be days were I post just the facts .
But these facts are important to me and my journey .
I find that I do so much better in my weight loss when I am tracking and posting.
I was 192.6 on 6/25
I am 182.4 on 9/15
not bad for the summer months.
182.4 puts me down 50 pounds since Jan 2012 and 74 pounds down from my highest weight of 256 .
The fun and games are over ( for now ,lol) and time to get back to work and back to losing the extra poundage .
So hang on to your hats , it is going to be a bumpy ride :)

WOW it has been quite awhile since I posted .
It has been a crazy summer.
I quit my job the end of May . The stress at that job was becoming a medical issue.
I took the summer off and just enjoyed my self and my family.
It is cooler today with just a hint of fall in the air. Just enough to remind me of what is to come.
I am just starting to job hunt. I really should have started sooner but I just could not bring my self to do it . I was just having to much fun :) But now it is reality time, back to work I go ,well I should say job hunting I go.Hopefully something will come up sooner rather than later.
My diet has not been the greatest but my workouts have been awesome .
My Highest weight was 256.
I was 232 the beginning of Jan.2012
I was 195 when I took this 6/22/12
I was 188 this morning, not great but not to shabby either.
My goal is to be at 165 on New Years. that is 23 pounds in just over 20 weeks ,do-a-ble

9/30/12= 180.0 -1.0
10/17/12= 179.0 - 1.0
I am finding my self going closer and closer to vegetarian again . That makes me happy ( for many reasons) I am not saying I will not eat meat again, If I want meat with a meal I will have it . But more and more I find my self wanting/ eating meat less and less.
11/8/12 179.4 I have maintained pretty well for the past month. Hoping to start to lose again soon. I would like to lose another 20 to 25 pounds ,, but something tells me this last 20-25 pounds is going to be very very slow to go .
UPDATE ON FEBRUARY 25th,,
Todays weight is ;
170.4 - 9 pounds in the past 3 months
I had to really look for pictures of me
I am about 230 in this one
My (dream ) goal weight is 149
but I will be SUPER DUPER happy with 159
This picture is of me and some of my brothers and sisters taken about 10 years ago.
I am on the far right .I am about 165 in this picture .

Sunday catch up
Time to catch up ,
This past week has been better than the week before but still kinda hit and miss.
Good news is I am back to working out 5 days a week.
Not so good new, my diet has not been as good as it should be.
I feel that I am getting closer to being able to make that commitment to the next 25 pounds. It feels different this time. As if I am more aware of the process of making the commitment needed to do this. Feels right :)

Accountability

One week off turned into 2 weeks off. Mentally and emotionally I am having a very difficult time getting back to it.
No weight gain though that is good.
I still have 45 pounds to lose and I need to get my head back in the game .
