It&#39;s been awhile since I&#39;ve posted.&amp;nbsp; So I stopped wieght watcher since the reason why I haven&#39;t posted.&amp;nbsp; I can say it worked while I was focused on eating healthy and getting my life in order.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m now 175 pounds but of course I need to lose a little bit more weight but I haven&#39;t joined again until I&#39;m focused.&amp;nbsp; I have some things in my life that are stressing me out to the max and I need to get them out.&amp;nbsp; It almost seems impossible like I can&#39;t remove this weight from my shoulders.&amp;nbsp; So like I always do I will continue to pray about and let GOD work it out for me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weight loss is important but healthy with weight loss is important as well.&amp;nbsp; I plan on not doing weight watchers right away but starting a work out plan that I can stay on.&amp;nbsp; I was thinking about insanity work out which I&#39;ve done in the past and lost weight but it came with a price.&amp;nbsp; My ankles were sore for a month you have to know how to land and move using this workout program for sure.&amp;nbsp; This time I&#39;m prepared I have the right shoes and all.&amp;nbsp; I was suppose to start on Monday but I had to take a class didn&#39;t make it home until 10 so Tuesday came and I was exhausted that didn&#39;t work out and Wednesday which is today I felt like shit.&amp;nbsp; So hopefully tomorrow I can begin my journey to getting my body in shape not just losing weight.&amp;nbsp; I need a little push here and there.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep focused always believe in yourself even when others don&#39;t because if you don&#39;t believe why should anybody else.&amp;nbsp; I mean think about it why should others fight your battles if your not willing to fight your own.&amp;nbsp; Its always good to have support but make sure its the right support because there will always be people in your life that will talk down on you even when you don&#39;t see it at first.&amp;nbsp; Any obstacles getting in the way jump right over them because those will always be there. I mean if you never go through things in life then how will you learn.&amp;nbsp; Book smarts can only get you so far without common sense. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good luck on your journey! &lt;/div&gt;

Finally on week three and I&#39;m still plucking at is going strong on the weight watchers diet.&amp;nbsp; I have to say when you have to keep track and your weight loss depends on your honesty and being true to making your life healthy its amazing how quick things change.&amp;nbsp; I have to say at the beginning I didn&#39;t think that I was going to make it but I&#39;m almost done with a month and I&#39;m going strong.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve lost ten pounds and just put on a pair of jeans that I haven&#39;t wore in over a year.&amp;nbsp; That is a start for me I just know that there is more to come.&amp;nbsp; So I&#39;m excited about what the next weeks and the results from those will be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I could come up with excuses as to why I should stop but I also have all the reason in the world to keep going not only for my self but for my children who know a different mother when I&#39;m much healthier.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m almost done with school and I was thinking you know that one show what not to wear that would be a perfect show to go on for to start over fresh once I lose all the weight that I need to get back to where I was in my life before.&amp;nbsp; I don&#39;t even buy unhealthy things anymore the kids are always looking for snacks and my snacks now are fruits and veggie&#39;s I mean I still buy them there own snacks that kids like but I don&#39;t eat them&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Pretty soon I will be touting my own horn with relief and excitement.&amp;nbsp; Now in the process of getting my weight in control I need to cut some people out of my life that are negative and kept me down in the dumps it all a work in progress.&amp;nbsp; Any person that tells you its okay to be fat and stay that size there is a problem and maybe you should reanalyze your relationship with that person.&amp;nbsp; I know that I am.&amp;nbsp; It has taken me longer than it should to finally get my life back on track.&amp;nbsp; Its time for me to take control of my life.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

Well not much to say today I had a great lunch it was a salad that was worth every bite.&amp;nbsp; Dinner was done when I got home since I put the pot roast in the slow cooker before I left for work.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully tomorrow I will have enough time in the morning to go work out at the gym for at least 30 minutes.&amp;nbsp; I feel good so I have no complaints here.&amp;nbsp; I do know one thing that my mind has been consumed by food all I think about is food how I should prepare it? What I should cook?&amp;nbsp; Should I go to the store tonight or tomorrow?&amp;nbsp; Should I make my own recipe or use one of the ones off the site?&amp;nbsp; I tend to over do things a bit of an extremist sometimes.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m looking to grow as a person and on my journey I must continue.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Good night sleep tight don&#39;t let the bed bugs bit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

Hello, I thought today would be easy but I just didn&#39;t have an appetite I was too tired I went to sleep early last night and woke up around 1:30 and couldn&#39;t go back to sleep.&amp;nbsp; Work was difficult because I had training today and could hardly stay awake.&amp;nbsp; my food today at work consist of coffee to stay awake and a yogurt plus some cheese crackers.&amp;nbsp; I tried to drink a V8 Juice but I just couldn&#39;t bring myself to do it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Since I got home late today I didn&#39;t get a chance to cook dinner because I was busy cleaning up.&amp;nbsp; My kids had leftover steak fajitas and when I did finally get a chance to sit down and eat there was nothing to eat. So I ate Andouille sausage sandwich it was okay and I was full but it wasn&#39;t the greatest meal.&amp;nbsp; No exercise except cleaning the house.&amp;nbsp; I had to give my daughter a bath get her clothes and things ready for school tomorrow.&amp;nbsp; I just feel like I don&#39;t have enough time in the day.&amp;nbsp; I think this weekend I will get all her stuff ready for the week as well as my items. My son usually does a good job getting his own things together.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I will say that I don&#39;t overeat anymore and I&#39;ve been staying away from all the junk food I try not to buy it anymore just a few things for the kids like fruit snacks but the real fruit kind and cookies but healthy cookies.&amp;nbsp; Well only time will tell I can&#39;t wait to get back to my old self I feel so focused on the prize which is me down a few dress sizes so I can have more energy and feel healthy.&amp;nbsp; I guess its time for me to get ready to go to bed because I&#39;m tired as you now what.&amp;nbsp; Good luck on your journey to freedom is what I&#39;ll call it.&lt;br /&gt;

Today I got on the scale and yes I went from 210lbs to 206.8lbs So I&#39;ve only lost 3.2lbs but that is a start and I&#39;ll take it any day.&amp;nbsp; I made steak fajitas for dinner tonight and the kids love them.&amp;nbsp; I can say so my self they are good. Its crazy because this is the first meal I&#39;ve had all day only because I&#39;ve been so busy.&amp;nbsp; I went washing to day they I had to go collect soil for my science class experiment.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m tired today but ready for next week to start if I keep going at this rate things can only get better.&amp;nbsp; I think this will last me for the rest of the night because I&#39;m full..&amp;nbsp; I thought I was going to get some exercise in today but things aren&#39;t looking good I&#39;m extra tired right now.&amp;nbsp; I can blame that on staying up till 3 in the morning to catch up on some late homework.&amp;nbsp; And then waking up at 8am I&#39;m a little upset that I missed church today.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Well, I think I should take a quick 20 minute nap so I can re-energize.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

Today was a better day I was able to organize I did some fall cleaning if there is such a thing.&amp;nbsp; Really my focus was on the kitchen I got rid of all the clutter throughout all the bad stuff and refilled with all the good stuff.&amp;nbsp; It was hard but I had to do it.&amp;nbsp; Plus I did some much needed cleaning in the kitchen it took me a few hours but I was on business today.&amp;nbsp; So, with that being said I didn&#39;t have breakfast until 2:00 today which was late I was so focused on cleaning and I didn&#39;t even get hungry I filled up on fluids and ate some fruits here and there.&amp;nbsp; Dinner I have Turkey spaghetti which I love I wanted more than what I had but honestly I didn&#39;t need it because I was felling satisfied.&amp;nbsp; I must add I love diet MT. Dew now since its equals no points I&#39;m no sure about diet coke and pepsi not so good.&amp;nbsp; So no real exercise but I was able to take the kids out for a late walk today.&amp;nbsp; I feel great I even got a ton of homework done today.&amp;nbsp; I would love to have some dots the green and yellow ones.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Staying focused is getting easier as time goes on. I will say that I&#39;m excited and nervous all at the same time because tomorrow I get to weigh in.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ll be happy to have lost two pounds.&amp;nbsp; Well I have to get back to my homework because I have a few papers to write and discussion to post.&amp;nbsp; So everyone have a blessed day.&lt;br /&gt;

I&#39;ll keep it short and simple I had boiled gizzards today since I could fry them and baked fries which wasn&#39;t that bad.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m full or rather satisfied and had no need to eat any other junk tonight.&amp;nbsp; Although I did eat some more fruit tonight my favorite strawberries.&amp;nbsp; My daughter is sick and she never gets sick so tomorrow chicken noodle soup homemade.&amp;nbsp; I have to nurse my baby back to good health.&amp;nbsp; We&#39;ll all eat healthy tomorrow. I&#39;m not certain I will be able to work out tomorrow maybe I&#39;ll do one of the Insanity work outs.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m sure I won&#39;t be able to complete the entire video but a good 20 minutes of one of those workouts and I&#39;ll be good to go.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I guess tomorrow I will also start taking vitamins I guess this is good as well while dieting.&amp;nbsp; Short and simple have a blessed night and be safe.&lt;br /&gt;

I&#39;m at work sitting at my desk eating a wheat smoked chicken wrap from the cafeteria and I must say its very good.&amp;nbsp; I didn&#39;t think I would like it but I gave it a try and boy am I pleased.&amp;nbsp; They have some special sauce on it and it has nuts in it and it is worth every bit.&amp;nbsp; I think the wrap is having a party in my mouth.&amp;nbsp; I really wanted to get the homemade chips but instead I choice to get fresh fruit, although I didn&#39;t eat the blueberries I just can&#39;t eat them without them being in a muffin.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Breakfast was okay I had a homemade parfait which was just enough to hold me over till lunch.&amp;nbsp; I wasn&#39;t even extremely hungry this time.&amp;nbsp; I guess slowing down and taking my time to eat my food helps with it maybe lasting longer and not having the need to eat it just because its there.&amp;nbsp; I will have to say that today so far is a good day.&amp;nbsp; I still have 15 points left for the day and I have my dinner time meal already planned.&amp;nbsp; maybe I can have a glass of wine tonight or even a beer.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m not so sluggish today either.&amp;nbsp; I have to admit I did eat one bar of a Twix but it wasn&#39;t really worth it I just have this candy left over from work still sitting in my purse but today I&#39;m giving the rest to my kids when I get home. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll have enough energy for my homework tonight I&#39;ve been reading all day and I think making better food choices gives me better energy throughout the day.&amp;nbsp; Its a struggle but I keep putting one foot forward I have to keep moving up I&#39;m not looking back anymore.&amp;nbsp; Its time for a change. &lt;br /&gt;

So on to my followers today was a very tough day my co-worker bought brownies for her birthday today and they were so good but I only had one and a half but it was 9 points.&amp;nbsp; On top of that I had two breakfast burritos from Mcdonald&#39;s which didn&#39;t help at all because each burrito was 8 points so far before lunch even came I ate 25 of my points up.&amp;nbsp; so that only leaves me with 6 points for dinner so who thinks I ate for dinner?&amp;nbsp; Well I had a bag of popcorn and I couldn&#39;t even eat that all and I ate strawberries and drank a lot of water.&amp;nbsp; I didn&#39;t feel the need to use any extra points today because I didn&#39;t workout today.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Tomorrow I will plan better but I still haven&#39;t figure out what I&#39;m to eat for breakfast and lunch.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I buy things to take with me for work the kids eat it up before I get to it.&amp;nbsp; I can&#39;t get upset when the kids are eating healthy right.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Well at least I get to drink Mt. Dew well diet mountain dew but its not that bad.&amp;nbsp; This is a real struggle and I don&#39;t think I&#39;m going to meet my goal.&amp;nbsp; Five pounds seems so far away.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m struggling I wish I had someone to give me encouragement along the way.&amp;nbsp; I think this weekend I&#39;ll be able to sit down and plan since I think this is my main problem I&#39;m unorganized what can I say.&amp;nbsp; Tomorrow is Friday and hopefully I can take some time out to go work out or at least take a walk with the kids somewhere.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Staying focused on my goals is key to my success but I am going to admit its been hard I&#39;m so use to snacking on any and everything whenever I feel like it and not being able to is hard.&amp;nbsp; This also means no beer this weekend but if I do it will have to be a miller 64.&amp;nbsp; lol.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m extra tired and can&#39;t seem to get my energy up I&#39;ve been really tired everyday after work it seems like I never get a break.&amp;nbsp; But life is still good I&#39;m here so I should be greatful.&amp;nbsp; This is all a new experience for me and hopefully by the end I will be living a healthy life.&lt;br /&gt;

So, it is official I&#39;ve joined weight watchers and I&#39;m on day three and ready to give up already.&amp;nbsp; I guess its not that bad I just have to change the way I eat and make better choices.&amp;nbsp; Its hard to balance my time lately since after work I have to pick up the kids and then get home to make dinner.&amp;nbsp; I always end up taking to much time to cook because I end up making separate meals one for the kids and one for myself.&amp;nbsp; Most people would just have the entire family eat it but my kids are very picky eaters and I don&#39;t want them going to bed hungry.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully this weekend I can plan out a week ahead that way I can better work my time.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I need to work on my exercise thing to I was doing insanity everyday for about two weeks and I lost a few pounds but didn&#39;t have the right shoes and my ankles suffered because of it.&amp;nbsp; So I figure if I start off slowly this time with better shoes I should have better and longer results.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m the type of person that likes to see results immediately but I know that won&#39;t happen.&amp;nbsp; For dinner tonight I had smother pork chop I smothered it with onions, green peppers and tomatoes and it was goooooood.&amp;nbsp; I couldn&#39;t believe and I have broccoli which is always good to me no matter what.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve also grown to live diet soda over the last few days too since its a waste of points to use them on regular soda.&amp;nbsp; The lady that works next to me is on weight watchers as well and she seems to be doing great but she is well planned compared to me. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I can say that my son helps me stay focus when I just want to have a candy bar because they are eating them but I can&#39;t say the same for my four year old daughter she doesn&#39;t mind giving me the junk.&amp;nbsp; Good luck to all those that are out here trying to make a life change and be the best person they can be not only for themselves but for those that love them.&amp;nbsp; Any feed back or pointers on my weight loss journey I&#39;m open to it. &lt;br /&gt;

So, enough about weight loss I just can&#39;t do it right now.&amp;nbsp; I will say this though when God is ready for me to lose this weight it will drop off just as fast as I picked it up.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve been looking for a career change.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve always lover writing and thinking maybe that is what I should have went to school for.&amp;nbsp; I can&#39;t think of one reason why I didn&#39;t.&amp;nbsp; Well, its to late now I don&#39;t think I want to take out any more loans out for school.&amp;nbsp; Life has been good I must say.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve recently tried to try our being a freelance writer do something I enjoy for once in my life.&amp;nbsp; I paid all this money to get a career in criminal justice and they only jobs I seem to see are police officer jobs.&amp;nbsp; I don&#39;t want to be putting my life on the line for people all the time or dealing with drunks and just terrible people.&amp;nbsp; I must say that I would have maybe liked to be and private investigator you know the ones that have all this handy equipment use to spy on people.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
I would be the one you would go to if you wanted to know if you husband or wife was cheating.&amp;nbsp; Or dig up dirt on a business or ex friend of yours.&amp;nbsp; I think that would be very exciting and who wouldn&#39;t love that job.&amp;nbsp; I can sit here and think of all the different disguise.&amp;nbsp; Enough about that back to my writing dreams.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m not exactly sure how this world works I&#39;m very new to this unsure of what type of bids to put in or what exactly to put in a proposal.&amp;nbsp; I will figure it out but I am taking advice if anyone has any.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Being able to obtain experience I think will be key but there are so many people that are already out here.&amp;nbsp; I must say their profile are great I can&#39;t say that I&#39;m an expert in anything but a little research and I may be able to teach your subject better than you can.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m confident in myself and determined to make it happen in my life.&amp;nbsp; I know I have what it takes.&lt;br /&gt;
Its time to get dinner ready the kids will be ready to eat soon.&amp;nbsp; I will try my best to get back on later tonight so you can stay update on what&#39;s going on.&amp;nbsp; My goal is to have at least two post a day that is the least like I said.&amp;nbsp; Enjoy your day and God bless and for those that don&#39;t believe Peace be with you.&lt;br /&gt;

I can say that I still feel like crap and my back and stomach and ribs hurt I think I have gas and a lot of it.&amp;nbsp; I drank a beer again and plus I had a salad for dinner which was satisfying I didn&#39;t eat a hamburger or fries.&amp;nbsp; I have to work tomorrow and I think I&#39;m going to go ahead take a lunch and breakfast in to work that way I don&#39;t go to the cafeteria and buy unnecessary food items I really don&#39;t want.&amp;nbsp; I think it would be a good idea to make a doctors appointment to find out what my problem is.&amp;nbsp; There was absolutely no exercise done at all today which I feel bad about but maybe tomorrow I will go to the gym I can&#39;t make a promise but I will try see the daycare closes at I think seven I get off work at 4:30 and then I have to pick my son up at 5:00 from the church then I have to go home cook for my mother&#39;s friends mother so she can have dinner tonight so that will all be done hopefully no later than six.&amp;nbsp; By that time the kids will need to eat get prepared for bed take showers oh yeah I didn&#39;t mention anything about picking my daughter up as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully tonight I will sleep well.&amp;nbsp; I have an early morning tomorrow since I have to work.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m determined to lose all the weight I need to feel healthy hopefully the focus I had to day will stay with me for more days and I will add to that focus.&amp;nbsp; Patience is essential to my main goal.. &lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/feeds/3533707580719180824/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/2012/05/dinner.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2459217996468753977/posts/default/3533707580719180824'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2459217996468753977/posts/default/3533707580719180824'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/2012/05/dinner.html' title='Dinner'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02581719536375600210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459217996468753977.post-6651772667536465592</id><published>2012-05-06T12:32:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-05-06T12:32:17.327-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Food for today</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
Well today I woke up late and missed church service but I&#39;ll try to make it to Bible study on Wednesday.&amp;nbsp; For breakfast I had a yogurt a piece of wheat toast with apple butter spread and two eggs oh yeah and two sausage links the brown and serve kind.&amp;nbsp; It was good and I&#39;ve been snacking on peanuts which are highly additive I must add.&amp;nbsp; For lunch I still feel full but that is probably from the apple pie I ate and half of pepsi I drank.&amp;nbsp; What am I think that&#39;s where I go wrong I always add in a unhealthy snack that I know isn&#39;t good for me.&amp;nbsp; I feel bloated and my stomach has been hurting for two days.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Anybody out there have a pilonidal&amp;nbsp; cyst well if you don&#39;t good for you because it is painful.&amp;nbsp; It hurts like hell until it bust or you go in and have it drained only thing with going in is that they have to stick needles right there in the spot and it hurts like hell.&amp;nbsp; Then you ass check feels like a million pounds and having a fat ass already that could be a lot of extra weight.&amp;nbsp; LOL.&amp;nbsp; I talk about myself sometimes because I know over time I will finally commit myself to what needs to be done.&amp;nbsp; I always do it just takes me some time to finally get there.&amp;nbsp; Today the children are going to have hamburgers but I&#39;m going to try my best not to have one.&amp;nbsp; I think a salad would do just fine something light not to heavy.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
I have a ton of homework due to day so that will take up lots of my time and the kids will do the rest.&amp;nbsp; I have to want this weight to go away more than anything God has helped me before and God will do the same here but this time I will give him all the credit he deserves unlike last time.&amp;nbsp; Well I have to put my daughter to sleep she is overdue on her nap time and she tends to start to act a little crazy when she doesn&#39;t get her beauty sleep.&amp;nbsp; So until later\.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/feeds/6651772667536465592/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/2012/05/food-for-today.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2459217996468753977/posts/default/6651772667536465592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2459217996468753977/posts/default/6651772667536465592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/2012/05/food-for-today.html' title='Food for today'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02581719536375600210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459217996468753977.post-8240521458848510301</id><published>2012-05-05T17:24:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2012-05-05T17:24:35.846-07:00</updated><title type='text'>FAILURE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
It has been awhile since I&#39;ve had a chance to talk to everyone sorry about that I don&#39;t believe I have any followers though so I&#39;m sure no one is to disappointed.&amp;nbsp; My diet or weight loss plan has fallen through the cracks it seems so hard to stay focus.&amp;nbsp; I would love to have a personal trainer someone that will stay on top of me but there is no way in hell I could afford that at this point in my life.&amp;nbsp; I know that soon things are going to change for me and everything will start to fall into place.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m not going to worry about my weight as much as I have been.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m still going to attempt to try and cut back on all the garbage I eat everyday.&amp;nbsp; I wish I had more structure in my days but the bottom line is that I need to work out I&#39;m lazy I guess I never was really into being active.&amp;nbsp; Maybe now is the time I have a membership I&#39;m going to start using it.&amp;nbsp; But who will hold me to that no one so I guess I&#39;m on my own with that and we see how that has been working out.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; School has started back so I think if I can just plan some things out I can schedule my meals and exercise.&amp;nbsp; I think that I can do it.&amp;nbsp; I just don&#39;t like feeling sore when its all over with man my body hurts after running on a treadmill for 20 minutes it doesn&#39;t seem that long but for a fat girl I beg to differ.&amp;nbsp; Smiles.&amp;nbsp; Well today I would say was a good day.&amp;nbsp; I ate um lets see I don&#39;t remember oh year I had three tacos and two beers oh yeah and a glass or two of wine.&amp;nbsp; So not that much food but plenty of liquor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I think today is the day I should start writing down my days and what I should eat and stop buying things that don&#39;t fit into my health plan.&amp;nbsp; I really don&#39;t anyway its just sometime when I really like something I tend to keep eating it and eating.&amp;nbsp; This helps me none but one I get that career I&#39;ve been looking for I think a small investment into my health with a personal trainer will totally be worth it.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve stopped smoking so that is one good thing that has come of me trying to get health.&amp;nbsp; I must say that I crave them here and there but as long as I&#39;m not around people that smoke then I don&#39;t want to smoke and plus I can tell the difference in my breathing when I walk and run I can actually breath better.&amp;nbsp; I have encouragement from some of the people around so as long as I continue to stay focus I think I can make it.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Honestly I need motivation I&#39;ve drifted from how I use to be and become a lazy boring person and that&#39;s totally not me so from today forward I will get back in the grove of things no more tired excuses of why I didn&#39;t go work out because there are none.&amp;nbsp; Well wish me luck I&#39;m going to start my journey and hopefully I can report a great one to you and I will try to post at least twice a day but I can&#39;t make any promises we see how that has worked out for me so far.&lt;br /&gt;

I&#39;m not sure if I&#39;m struggling or if I&#39;m simply just down and out.&amp;nbsp; Whenever I feel that things could making a turn for the best nope there goes up the great wall of China.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m trying to stay focused on all the things that seem to matter most to me and those are the things that keep falling.&amp;nbsp; I have a job now only two days a week with two kids can&#39;t even keep my damn bills paid up I&#39;ve been applying everywhere.&amp;nbsp; My grandma tells me to except anything go work at McDonald&#39;s but I don&#39;t feel its not worthy of me but I worked at McDonald&#39;s when I was 14 that was my first job and I&#39;m the type of person if I go backwards then I never will get anything out of life.&amp;nbsp; I feel like I&#39;ve worked to hard to get an education and soon will have my bachelors degree in criminal Justice that I want something that fits me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
But clearly they only want those that have experience or men maybe.&amp;nbsp; I applied to a security company and she calls me the same day and says well were going to do a background check and have you come back in for drug testing etc but then I call a week later and she still hasn&#39;t done the background check apparently something came up so she says.&amp;nbsp; Then that same day I get a letter saying they found someone more qualified but yet again I keep getting emails from my school that they are hiring.&amp;nbsp; What was it?&amp;nbsp; Anybody please fill me in and I know my interview skills are on point.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m a hard worker and very dedicated to whatever work it is I do.&amp;nbsp; You can ask any of my old employers I strive to do better and be the best at what I do.&amp;nbsp; I don&#39;t like failure this is what I teach my children but if you don&#39;t give me a chance to begin with then what does that say about you?&lt;br /&gt;
I guess you can say I&#39;m feeling the pressure today but its still a great day I have my children and I woke up this morning feeling great no health issues besides the weight I&#39;m able to see, breath, hear, smell, feel and touch I have no complaints.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

Yes, still 200 pounds and I think I cheated yo guys because according to the scale at the clinic I&#39;m 210 so what I&#39;m looking to lose it a total of 60 pounds I&#39;m still trying to figure out how I&#39;m going to accomplish this seemingly hard task I&#39;ve set for myself but its been done before.&amp;nbsp; I have to say I am at my largest weight but some people that I know don&#39;t see it like that I guess because I&#39;m well portioned but fat is fat.&amp;nbsp; I tried weight watchers for one day but its a hard task to keep track of everything I&#39;m eating and count points for each item thats another job all together.&amp;nbsp; Once I hit the lottery I&#39;ll be able to pay for that personal trainer I&#39;ve always wanted.&amp;nbsp; Ha ha ha. . . . everyone plans to hit the lottery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, today I got an email from the government about Pell grants so I&#39;m over my limit to how long I can receive a Pell grant I guess only for up to five years I&#39;m almost done and still yet another obstacle well what shall I do.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ll tell you get down on my knees pray to God and let him take care of it like he always does.&amp;nbsp; I went to Chicago yesterday and I all I ate was Harold&#39;s chicken and I didn&#39;t really eat that because the kids ate so today I will try to have something healthy besides the bowl of cereal I ate today,&amp;nbsp; tomorrow I will go to the gym and work it out maybe that too will relieve some stress.&lt;br /&gt;

For dinner I had collard greens corn bread and some potatoes there was roast but I&#39;m trying to stay clear of read meat.&amp;nbsp; I feel really full not uncomfortable though.&amp;nbsp; The kids enjoyed dinner but I will continue to work hard on trying to lose weight and eat healthier because I know its best for me.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve been 200 pounds for a year in a half which is way to long but I&#39;m a work in progress and hope to lose some weight by the summer not just for looks but for my health as well.&amp;nbsp; All the other times I&#39;ve lost weight it was easy but now it seems so hard and I can&#39;t seem to figure out why.&amp;nbsp; Well, I&#39;m going to bed now I have to get up early tomorrow to take my son to school and I&#39;m going to the gym to work out.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m not sure what I&#39;ll do at the gym but hopefully this will start me in motion.&lt;br /&gt;

Well, the fast didn&#39;t work out as planned but I did change my eating habits no more junk food healthy food only only certain meats as well like chicken and turkey only.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s been difficult because food is so good but going to work adds a little structure to my day.&amp;nbsp; I take a lunch when I go to work and breakfast and snacks in between.&amp;nbsp; The problem is when I&#39;m not at work staying focused on not eating all the wrong things is hard.&amp;nbsp; No more fried food and lots of prayer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
I just went to the hospital yesterday because me ear was bleeding well I had a bad sinus infection and ended up rupturing my ear drum very painful, and couldn&#39;t hear for a day and boy do I appreciate my hearing I never want to go through that again.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/feeds/6902329237335081916/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/2012/04/food.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2459217996468753977/posts/default/6902329237335081916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2459217996468753977/posts/default/6902329237335081916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/2012/04/food.html' title='Food'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02581719536375600210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459217996468753977.post-7899853775594950185</id><published>2012-04-07T17:40:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2012-04-07T17:40:45.428-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
So, on Monday April 9 2012 I&#39;m going to begin fasting to cleanse my body of the toxin I&#39;m not sure how well this is going to work out, but I will give it my all with the strength of God.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve been looking for it everywhere I&#39;ve tried it before but I have to cook for my children and then that is what usually gets me back started.&amp;nbsp; This time I&#39;m going to be determined and try my best to keep focused on the long term goal much prayer will be needed I know this for sure.&amp;nbsp; So far almost two years now I&#39;ve been over weight and I say its been long enough time to make a change and I will start here with clearing my body to start fresh.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m sure there are plenty of health problems that come from this because all I can say is greed it seems like I just can&#39;t get enough.&amp;nbsp; I eat when I don&#39;t need to but I guess you can say I&#39;m a boredom eater I eat when I&#39;m bored and that seems like all the time.&amp;nbsp; I will find things to occupy my time and start going to the gym at least three days a week even if I just go for an hour something has to give.&amp;nbsp; I like to believe that I&#39;m a spiritual person but I will begin to work on that as well.&amp;nbsp; I believe we as people can do great things but because there is so much bad and distractions in our lives we tend to go down what ever route seems to be the easiest for us.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If anyone has any guidance or ideas or even words of wisdom I&#39;m all ears because I will need it through everyday.&amp;nbsp; I think that it will only be as hard as I make it because God is so good to me and sometimes I don&#39;t know where I would be without him I will need his guidance and help through this process the most.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/feeds/7899853775594950185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/2012/04/so-on-monday-april-9-2012-im-going-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2459217996468753977/posts/default/7899853775594950185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2459217996468753977/posts/default/7899853775594950185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/2012/04/so-on-monday-april-9-2012-im-going-to.html' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02581719536375600210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459217996468753977.post-9050549710290489418</id><published>2012-03-03T18:52:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-03T18:52:18.479-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Chimichanga</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;

No legal talk I get it boring but so on to the next best thing I suppose I think that I&#39;m going to just start advising people of what is going on in my life.&amp;nbsp; So I work for the Dane county clerk of courts as a court aide and I get to see criminals two days of the week and it is crazy what people do I know people commit crimes but some of these people you see are just dumb or caught up in bad situations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
 Well,&amp;nbsp; I made a vow to myself that I will start to try new things by myself and with my children since winter wasn&#39;t really winter we had another great day here in Madison WI.&lt;br /&gt;
I seem to be all over the place today but I would love to move to California anybody out there live in California or know anything about it?&amp;nbsp; Some details or more information on where to live would be great I have kids so consider that too.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve always wanted to move to California since I was younger&amp;nbsp; so maybe I&#39;ll try it now.&amp;nbsp; Well sweet dreams I have to go to bed for work tomorrow have to wake up at 6am.&amp;nbsp; Goodnight!&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/feeds/7111193151403740182/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/2012/02/change-of-selection.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2459217996468753977/posts/default/7111193151403740182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2459217996468753977/posts/default/7111193151403740182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quantanea.blogspot.com/2012/02/change-of-selection.html' title='Change of selection'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02581719536375600210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
