Day 172: Sultry Monday

 



Time for a new mission statement. My goal for 2025 was to lose 100 pounds by 12-31-25 but I've failed miserably. At some point I need to pick myself up and try. A realistic goal at this point is 50 pounds by 12-31-25, so that is where I will start. When will I start ? I don't know .. do I need a "starting point" ? I don't. Every day that I don't "start" just adds to my misery. I plan to just take each day as it comes and do what I can to move closer to where I want to be. Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet.


I never made it to the treadmill yesterday. I procrastinated too long and it got too hot. Today is even hotter, so we'll see. It's 11:43 am and it's 86 degrees ! I am dressed, so we'll see if I can progress to putting my shoes on !


Anyhow, I was up around 9 and have spent the morning catching up my slots and watching YouTube. I'm watching Grey's Anatomy now. I never watched this show and there are about 20 seasons to watch ! I like the medical stories but every episode is sex, sex, sex. I guess people like that because the show has been in production since 2005 and is still going strong !


It's 2:16 now and it's 90 degrees. Needless to say, it's too hot to even consider getting on the treadmill. I did manage to vacuum the downstairs, so that is an accomplishment.

Here Comes The Snow !

  Day 2 of the new year ! Time to get back on track with diet and exercise. The goal is 100 pounds by 12-31-25. Can I do it ? Well, I won't know unless I try. I will be starting Nutrisystem again on Saturday 01-04-25. My original Day 2 blog can be found  here.  I don't like much of the tone of that particular entry. I'm at a point in my life where being the victim is not an option. Much of what has happened in my life is my own fault, other than getting leukemia. The dysfunctional marriage, my weight, my lack of exercise - all my fault. I should have sent Alex back to Italy after he showed up in Ohio, but I was desperate to have a boyfriend and be married. It wasn't all bad, but I caused a lot of heartache for myself and my family. He, in turn, caused a lot of heartache for his parents. When I first started Nutrisystem in 2019 my goals for that year were losing weight, getting fit and paying off my credit card debt. I also stated I would no longer go to the casino. In t...

Day 12: Already Over Winter

  Here we go ! It's a new year. Time to get back on track with diet and exercise. The goal is 100 pounds by 12-31-25. Can I do it ? Well, I won't know unless I try. My original Day 12 blog can be found  here . My original Day 12 was unremarkable as the plumbing issues were resolved and I went to work. I am all for a drama free day ! I woke up just before 9 and it's a chilly but snow free day ! It was 20 when I got up and the high for the day is only 25. At least it is not snowing ! There were no stray cats again today, so I just replenished the dry food. I can see they've been eating it, so hopefully it is sustaining them through this weather. Breakfast was 180 calorie Eggo waffles with sugar free syrup. I didn't have a yogurt, morning snack or afternoon snack. Lunch was pizza. Calories unknown and tomorrow will be the final slice ! Dinner was 220 calorie rotini with meatballs and a couple teaspoons of romano cheese. Evening snack will be a 140 calorie chocolate cup...

Life has changed and I haven't been able to adapt just yet. Today is July 8th and I haven't written since July 1st. As if not writing is going to make a difference ! So what's been going on ? Not much. Spent July 4 at Rich & Barb's camp. It was a fun day. I spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday sitting on my ass watching tv and playing the slots. It was super hot so I had zero motivation to do anything, but I did manage to get some laundry done yesterday. I finishe...
