Friday Five

This week I have been trying to get settled back in at home. There has been so much to do, this being apple season, and I also decided to make some major adjustments in my life.

  1. I resolved on Wednesday to give myself a year to lose all of this weight. It’s a goal I hope to achieve, because, well, quite honestly, I am very unhappy being this over weight. I returned to Weight Watchers with great determination, and confessed my sins.

    (At least the most recent ones!) I down loaded the Weight Watcher App and have been tracking everything that has gone into my mouth! The real trick is to stay with it and not to get sloppy and lazy with my journaling.
  2. Along this same path, I decided that I would begin doing this thing, I refer to as a four letter obscene word…EXERCISE! I decided the best thing I could do was take Lili for walks. She needs it and I kill two birds with one stone. She gets her exercise while I get mine. **Groan**
  3. Our first day was tricky. Lili pulled me and I feared I was not going to live long enough to lose the weight. However this morning, I got out Fritz’s old training collar, and put it on her. She responded immediately, and stopped pulling, walked by my side and when I would stop her, sit her, and stay her…well, she actually listened. Our walk was so much fun that I hope tomorrow’s forecast of rain is wrong, as I want to go again!
  4. I have decided to continue to drink a large glass of water before each meal. It not only aids with digestion, but it seems to fill me up. I’m not a fan of drinking water, but I’m starting to realize as I get older, that sometimes one must do things they do not like for their health.
  5. I’m planning more fish meals, which is always good. My cousin, Dave, went fishing this summer and brought me back some really beautiful Salmon! And if I watch the sales I will stock up on fish, when I can. I have also discovered another great food.  Flat Out Bread. I made myself an egg roll-up this morning and it was really good, and lunch was a tuna roll up with lettuce and tomato. I must keep things new and interesting, and not get into a rut with the foods I am eating.

So that’s what’s happening this week. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and can enjoy the Autumn weather where you are, or in the case of my Aussie friends, enjoy your spring!

  1. Good for you! You go, girl!
    I tried weight watchers a few years back and I found it to be very effective. What I really liked is the fact that you are allowed to eat everything and that you can save up points for a dinner out or other special occasion.
    Cheering you on from this side of the pond!

  2. I’ve been trying to stay away from breads. I have egg whites with broccoli and some salsa for breakfast, and sometimes lunch, too! It’s quite tasty 🙂

  3. It’s always a fight to loose weight ! Eat apples instead of sweets. I cut 2 apples into little pieces and eat them while watching TV in the evening. No calories at all !
    Walking is good !

  4. I decided I need some exercise next to riding as well and I definitely need to eat healthier.
    A friend of mine is doing the 21-day fix (if you haven’t heard about it google it). She lost a lot of weight in a short time and the good thing on the program is that it teaches you how to eat healthy and especially how much food you should it.
    I had her send me everything I would need for the program over and started last week. And it isn’t even that hard. I lost 2 kg in one week. And I haven’t been hungry a second.
    If you google for recipes for 21-day fix you will find loads of great recipes and maybe there is something you like and can try as well – to keep things new and interesting like you said.

    I had some delicious Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes for Breakfast today. Yummy!!
