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.

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
