It’s A Rainy Day

A Good Day To Workout Inside!

 Good Morning,

    I woke up this morning around 5:37am and it was raining so hard and the wind was blowing hard as well, when I went to the bathroom to turn the light on, well guess what, the lights within the complex and on the street had gone out! I put on my slipper and went downstairs to get my candle by the fireplace so that I could light it. I needed the light so that I could call Entergy to see if the outage had been reported and when I called it had been. Well, usually I eat my breakfast at 7:00am, but when I called Entergy the recording stated that the power would be turned back on between the time I awakened and 10:00pm tonight, but I knew that it would definitely be turned on sooner than later. So as I was sitting on my bed upstairs I heard the air conditioner come on, and I said out loud, thank you God! It was exactly 8:35am when the lights came on and at 9:30am I fixed my breakfast.

Breakfast: One split, toasted english muffin sprinkled with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese(any type). Broil until cheese melts. 1/2 grapefruit sprinkled with 1 teaspoon brown sugar. 1 bottle of water!

My breakfast was delicious and filling, I have so much energy, and now I am going to workout to my music, and I will do this for 30 minutes. I am still trying to be careful so that my knees won’t hurt from the movement, good so far.

Crocheting Mom On A Mission!

Hello everyone!

  How was your day, did everyone workout today or did you just relax all day? Now, we have to remember that we have to be active in order to reach our goals, and one of our main goals is to lose the weight! This is something that we have to work at constantly, now I am not saying that we have to workout everyday, my trainer told me that as long as I workout 3 times a week and eat properly then I will eventually see some results. Today I danced to some of my favorite tunes and I did that for 30 minutes, I don’t want to hurt my knees and remember they are just starting to feel better. Knee pain is horrible and that is something that I can do without, I want to workout smartly! I am on a 1300 calorie meal plan, and I am also on my multivitamins. My breakfast was: One and a fourth cups of bran flakes cereal, topped with one half banana (sliced) and I had one cup of fat-free milk. Lunch was: A spinach salad and a cup of green tea (no sugar), Dinner was: savory asian patty, 2 cups of broccoli florets (steamed) and 1 cup of berries and of course a cup of green tea(no sugar). My meal for today was delicious and very filling.

Now I am getting ready for bed, I know that I should try to go to bed for 10:00pm, but some days it’s rather difficult to do. Most of the time I do get my seven hours of sleep! I want to say goodnight to everyone and may your tomorrow be even better than today!

I get to design baby blankets without using a pattern, all of the designs come from within. I have been on this journey  of losing weight since January 1, 2009 and there were some days I succeeded and then there were days that I fell apart, due to the fact I had no one to give me that push, that shove to help me to stay on track so that I can reach my goal and see the results I so desperately wanted. Ladies Motivation is the key! I am 243lbs and my goal is to reach 135lbs by December 1, 2011, but to be more realistic, by August 31, 2011 I intend to be 150lbs, and I have the abilities and the capabilities to succeed, because I know now that there are other women in the world that are trying to reach their idea weight goals and now we can do it together!
