Today, I am writing with great joy ! On Wednesday the fitness & aerobics instructor at the gym I go to came over to me while I was on one of the weight machines and said”My God that weight is just melting off you!” .   That was really encouraging but what happened today was beyond words to me ! I was on the eliptical machine when a lady was just staring at me , well I just ignored it and went on with what I was doing . Well after I did my cardio I went into the weight room to do some ball crunches , that same lady was in there with some of her friends and they all came up and started asking me how much weight I had lost and almost fell off then ball cuz in my mind I was thinking who are you guys speaking to ? Well I told them that I had lost 32 pounds and they all were complimenting me on my weight loss it made me feel so good ! After I had done some leg exercises and some of those ladies had left the one that was staring at me came up and apologized for staring ! She said “I’m so sorry for staring at you but , I couldn’t help it cuz you’ve lost so much weight , and I just had to tell you that !” Wow I couldn’t help but smile ! She and I talked for a long time after that and I think I just made another friend at the gym ! Sorry for ramblin’ on but I really needed to share this with you guys ! Have a great weekend everybody ! Kimmi

Today wasn’t anything like what I thought it was going to be. I didn’t get to go to see my side of the family at my mom’s house cuz my daughter was really sick ! We had her in the ER last night ! I know I should be grateful just to be with my family but really I had a pretty crummy day ! I did however eat well cuz we didn’t have the junk in the house ! I’m extremely tired from taking care of my daughter and feel like the world could fall on me at any minute ! Then my dog is sick too ! So between the two of them I feel like I got nothing left to give . On a positive note while doing some shopping last sunday one of my hubby’s sisters saw me and was shocked ! I believe the exact words were “Holy Crap I didn’t even recognize you!” and “Is your coat big enough ?”. Funny I wore that coat last year and it was tight ! I was surprised at how nice she was ! Well enough rambling on , Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving !  Kimmi

First let me start off by saying how much I hate to look at myself in pictures ! Well my hubby two years back took a picture of me when I fell off an inflatable whale and was laughing hysterically ! He decided to put it in the clear light switch in the front bathroom in my house ,well a friend of mine came over yesterday and looked at it and said “Boy , you really need to update this !” It really made me realize that I have come far but, also made realization that I still have quite far to go ! Not complaining but just a little scared that what if I don’t reach my goals ! I don’t want to give up or anything ! Just really trying to face the facts and it really does scare me ! I am really wanting to show up at a family function(on my hubbies side,cuz , they’re really nasty to me sometimes !) and show them what I’ve done to better myself ! My biggest fear is that they will say that’s nice but you ‘ll just put it back on anyways so save yourself the trouble ! They tell my hubby that all the time ! Which really makes me angry , can’t they just be happy for us ! Well I think I’m done ramblin’ for now ! Kimmi

I want to post a happy blog today ! I stepped on the scale and was down one more pound which brings me down to 154lbs. from 183lbs.  ! I am happy and wanted to tell people you can do it , even when you feel like giving up ! So don’t ever give up , keep trying ! Thanks to you all for the support you continue to give me day in and day out! You all are really Special !    Kimmi

Today, I’m feeling blue ! Not exactly sure why, just am ! I am feeling like I’m never going to succeed at this game and will always lose this game ! I did exercise today which is a plus but , just can’t seem to be happy with me and who I am today. Too bad crawling back into bed and never coming out isn’t an option ! Well I guess I’m finished for the moment anyways !

This is not about weight loss this time, but it easily could turn into it given my record ! I have had a Lab/Sharpei  for a little over a month and my husband wants to get rid of him ! Funny enough I didn’t really want him in the first place but have grown quite attached to the little stinker ! The reasons my husband wants to get rid of him is that he is teething and eats everything in site  and is super wild ! While his reasons are valid it would really throw me into a funk if he really goes through with it ! So before he yanks me away from my puppy somebody please help ! I already have two other dogs which are totally so much better behaved which is what he’s basing his feelings off of . I’m not asking for Cesar Milan or anything just some common sense advice from others that have gone through this ! Thanks in advance , Kimmi

Tko I’m down……. a pound ! Yesterday I was so hungry at dinner , I binged and kept the binge up until I went to bed at midnight ! Shame on me for the binge ! However maybe I just needed a few extra cals. to get the scale moving in the right direction ?  So have a great weekend every one ! Thanks for all the support, couldn’t do it without you ! Kimmi
