Day #2 .......... reducing the amount of half n half worked!  YEAH!  One day closer to my goal!

Yesterday, when I got ready for the funeral ..I put on my dress clothes! It has been a long time since I wore them.  Tight around the waist....so today I start my diet.  I used to be tall and thin...then I quit smoking and gained a huge amount of weight very quickly.  Come to find out it was not the quit smoking that caused the weight gain....it was a under active thyroid.  Now I am on thyroid medicine...but the weight is not coming off as fast as it went on......so again I will try another weight loss idea!  Lossing weight at my age is not an easy task.....

#1 I love food 
#2 Weight just does not come off as quickly as it used to
#3 My husband loves food too! (but he doesn't gain weight like me...unfair)  

So it is a no win situation at my house.  Today is the day!

The first thing I am going to cut down on is my coffee with half n half!  I figure if I stop drinking half n half  there will go about 1000 calories a day.  I love coffee and drink it all day long..loaded with half n half.  So today I am having 1 cup with half n half then ..I will keep adding coffee until I am drinking black coffee.  I'll tell you how it worked tomorrow.  Cutting down on half n half and also eating half of every meal I think ...... that should do the trick! 
Again we will see.........:>)!
I'm not going to weigh myself...I am going to use my dress pants as a guide to my weight lose or gain!  That should make it a fun weigh in each week!  I am going to try on my dress pants to see if they fit any better!  When they no longer will stay up....that day I am going  shopping for a new dress outfit!  This just might work....but again I will keep you posted.
When I was thin if you would of told me people treat heaver people different...I would of said "You're nuts"....but it is true.  People give you a look like you know you should lose weight!  You are treated different in the work force and in the shopping center!  Especially the grocery store!  I am no longer working ...retired for almost 2 years.  But I did the job thin and I did the job heavy.....and let me tell you when you are heavy new bosses give you the impression ...you could do a little more.  Maybe they thought because I was heavy I did not work as hard as a thin person...who knows!  But all I know...I do as much as I used to....only now I am carrying  around a whole lot more weight!  Now you would think that would make me lose weight!  But it doesn't! :>)

Tomorrow maybe I can get myself to at least discuss exercise!  :>)

Tomorrow is Monday Music Moves Me......it is a fantastic blog hop of music!  and it is Halloween!  I have a really creepy song picked out and I'm ready to go on Monday!  The song gives me the creeps every time I watch the video!

Today we are headed to Fond du Lac for a funeral.  Our daughter-in-law's Mom died of cancer on Monday.  She was such a nice lady....unfair.  She was fine until the end of this last July.  She was having a hard time breathing..went to the doctor and found out she was full of cancer.  Since then it has been a terrible journey for her...pain - surgeries - sadness....now she is at rest.

When you think about it Life is so short ... we only get one go around.  Lately I am wondering what took me so long to realize that?  Was it age or the fact that I was too busy to think about it?  Who knows! 

Have you every noticed how funerals bring out the good and the bad in us.  They bring back unhappy memories...but they also make us thankful that we have our loved ones with us.   So today is a very difficult day for my family.  My husband deals with pain in a very grumpy way...I act like nothing is wrong ...guess knowing that has made us last for over 30 years. 

Thanks

To everyone that is dealing with or has lost a loved one from cancer....you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello Blog World!

Hello everyone................this is my very first post on my new blog.  It took alot of courage to start a blog where I could just be myself...with no strings attached!  I hope you enjoy your visit....stop back often....and if needed...please feel free to give me advise - suggestions - and support!

I started this blog because it seems to me I have always lived in a world that I really did not understand and often have a difficult time expressing myself to the people around me.  Often I am misunderstood or totally off base with what is going on.  I think one thing and in reality it is not that way!  So here I am ...... letting it all out to the world.

Thanks for visiting...
