Finally!An Update

Okay I know,it's been way to long,but every time I think about doing this,I get distracted by something else.Such as life.



It's the Sunday after thanksgiving and it's been the most lazy weekend. I was supposed to go to Wall-Mart Saturday morning but my drivers sister passed away,so I didn't get to go.He offered to take me anyway,but couldn't let him.Will really is a good man.So I spent my 4 days off crocheting and knitting,watching movies and cooking.I made potato soup,homemade apple sauce and pumpkin fluff.I've become addicted to pumpkin.I never thought I liked pumpkin before.Imagine that.I post the recipes at the end of this blog.


Thursday,Craig and his crew and I went to Georgia to have thanksgiving with Erica's mom and her family.It was a good day.I ate more than I have eaten in a long time.I had one serving of everything + pumpkin pie and a chocolate chip cookie.YUMMY :P Had no guilt what so ever.Well maby just a wee bit.I was good for dinner later on that evening.Had a pina colada protein shake(I make really good shakes!).I was sad to find out that Pappa San's lady friend Sara had pass away.I didn't know till after we had gotten there.On the way home we had a deep and heavy discussion on our Lord and faith.I think that was a good way to end the day.


As for my weight loss journey....Here are the numbers-


Start weight-312.4



Last update-193.4


Today's weight-183.8


Loss since last update-9.6lbs


Total loss(drum roll please)-128.6


WooooHoooo!!!!!


I last weighed in at weight watchers a week from last Thursday and I had lost 2lbs in 3 weeks time.So it has definitely started slowing down.Which is okay because I'm getting closer to my goal of 175.About 9 more lbs to go.I'm in no hurry to get there.


Recipes


Potato soup

1 regular size container of chicken broth

1 small bag of frozen hash brown potato's

1 packet of sausage gravy mix

1 small bag of frozen carrots(recipe call's for cabbage but I prefer carrots)

diced chicken(doesn't call for chicken I just decided ti add it)



Bring all ingredients to a boil then let simmer for 20 or 30 minutes





Apple Sauce


I used a bunch of mixed apples pealed and diced. I Put them in a pan with an inch or so of water and boiled them down.I like to leave mine a little chunky.I used a little Splenda to sweeten and allspice to taste.So so good!





Pumpkin Fluff

1 can of pure pumpkin

1 box of sugar free fat free vanilla pudding

1 small container of cool whip


Mix dry pudding mix into the pumpkin and then fold in cool whip.I used a little Splenda to make it sweeter and vanilla extract and allspice to taste.This is the most yummy thing ever.I sometimes eat it in a cup like pudding and it's also good as a dip with apples.I think Erica used it in individual pie crust.Oh and I've used in my protein shakes teehee.Imagine the possibility's.


Peace,love,happiness and faith to all and GOD BLESS!

ONEDERLAND!!!

Well I know for sure now.I'M IN ONEDERLAND!For those of you who don't know what that is,it's being out of the two hundreds with my weight.Or being IN the one hundreds.That makes me extremely happy to know that.WootWoot!!



Start weight-312.4

My weight now-193.4

Lost this month-8.2

Total loss-119.0

My weight now-193.4



I still haven't decided what my goal will be.175 or 185?To go to Weight Watchers for free,it'll have to be 175.I'm thinking I want my range to be between 175 to 185.Hmmm.Think,think,think.As Pooh would would say.I think that should be a good range for my height of 5'11".



Yes,last week was much better than the week before.We celebrated Craig's 36 birthday.We all went to Sardi's Den for lunch.- Hope.She started Clemson Elementary last week for a pre-k program.She's riding the bus and has homework.She's growing up.It breaks my heart.That little girl on that great big ole school bus!Hunter is growing like a weed too.Eats like a true Walters.



Peace,Love and Happiness to all!



God Bless

Life's Little Issues

Well life has been sometimes good and sometimes blah this last month or so.It's been slow at work lately.As a hairstylist,if I don't do any hair,I don't get paid.So it's been kind of a struggle.And BODY ISSUES!!!It's strange how after loosing 100+lbs,I would still have issues.But I do.Mainly with loose skin.And I happen to know that just going to the gym isn't going to solve that issue.I would have to be at the gym 24/7.And we all know that ain't going to happen.Does anyone know a GOOD cheep surgeon?But HEY!I'm almost at my goal weight of 185 or so.About 10 more lbs to go.Just need to get back to Weight Watchers and weigh in.I think I'm under 200 now.Onederland!Yaaaaa h :)

Geepers,didn't mean to sound all glummy.Anywho,threes 3 more months in the year.My umm big brothers birthday October2,Thanksgiving in November and CHRISTmas in December.These last 3 months will be FABULOUS!

Until next time.Peace,Love and Happiness to all :)

p.s. I decided that when ever I write CHRISTmas,I will use all capital letters.Our LORD deserves that.So POO on those who don't approve!
