Weight Loss

So, since he’s gone, and it’s just me, I think it might be easier to watch what I eat, and count calories. And so far, I haven’t done too well. So I’m going to go here and hope that I can keep myself accountable. I plan on going down to 150, or lower. Right now though, my goal, short term, is 175, by Nov. 28th of this year.

I’m going to start exercising as well. But I thought I’d start with tracking my calories. I don’t think this will work if I just jump in with both feet. Some might think it’s the wrong way to go, but this is my weight loss journey.

I did a 3 mile walk yesterday, it was a race, and I did it in 50 min. I think I did a great job, I know others finished sooner, but my goal yesterday was to finish, and not give up. I did it, and I finished, and I wasn’t last, which was just icing on the cake, because that wasn’t even part of the goal.

I’m tired of looking fat, and pregnant, I’m tired of feeling like crap. You might think I look fine, but you’d be lying.

So, I have 20 lbs to lose before Nov. 28th, and I’m going to do it. Then, I’ll do 20 more, and then 20 more, until I hit my long term goal weight.

R&R is OVER, already?!! :(

So, I have been having trouble with posts, and pictures not showing up...and I also can't seem to figure out how to easily transfer pictures from my phone to the computer...SO this post is a little late...

He left on Monday. It was a good day though, he didn't have to be at the airport until the evening, so we had the whole day almost to spend together.

This time I was able to get to the gate, and of course since I brought his orders with us, they didn't need to see them...GO FIGURE...

We ate at the little cafeteria place by his gate, and then went and sat at the gate until it was time to board.

The airline had everyone clap for the service members and that made me cry...and then they started boarding, and he was one of the first on the plane.

I couldn't bring myself to leave the gate. I thought it would hurt more to stay, but I don't know, since I did stay. I just really could not get up and leave, and it was so hard to do that when the plane was taxi-ing away...I kept looking back at it, and watching it...I finally decided to just let it go, and get some Starbucks, I mean, a little pick me up is always good, right?

After he had boarded and they were getting the last people on and ready to leave, there was a rainbow, and it was over the plane, I think it was good luck, at least that's what I like to tell myself...

it's really hard to see, but it's there, above the jetway (is that what that is called?)
