Fried Chicken

My Favorite Animal

Our teacher asked us what our favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried Chicken."

She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't been right, because everyone else in the class laughed.

My parents told me to always be truthful and honest, and I am. Fried chicken IS my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said our teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do too, especially chicken, pork and bee...

Touched By An Angel, My Inspiration

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 09:28:15 EST

I got a phone call one time, right out of the blue
For a little girl to keep, who was only two
She had special needs, that needed to be met
For she was born with Spina Bifida, a birth defect
At birth you were born, with an open spine
And would never walk, not even with time
The damaged spine affected you, from your waist down
So many needs you had, and you needed someone now
A paraplegic...

I'm A Waterdog

Tue, 14 Sep 2010 12:24:34 EST

Wow I had so much fun, working out in the pool today. I did 30 minutes of just exercising my arms, then another 30 minutes of just leg exercises. Then I did a water aerobics class. Felt so good, stayed a bit longer and jogged in the pool for another 30 minutes. I'm a waterdog, lol.

I was all the way back home, and it suddenly hit me. Geez I forgot to do my strength training today. I was so busy and having fun , I just plum forgot that Tues and Thurs are my strength traini...

The Answer to Maximum Weight Loss

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 08:59:40 EST

Well I think I finally got this all figured out, or my routine. I told my daughter when school started back, that every day she was able to go to school, I would be going to the Ymca. WOW what a difference exercising has made. Since I finally got started exercising, it seems I can't get enough. I LOVE IT!!! My energy level has soared through the roof. When I get up in the mornings, I can't wait to go to the Y. I have been doing at least 2 hrs cardio in the pool, plus have...

Woohooo They Still Fit!!!!!!

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:31:21 EST

No matter how bad of a day you have had. Even if you completely blowed your calories for the whole week. If everything that could go wrong, did go wrong today. Even if you gained weight. Even if everything you put on, feels tight, because you are bloated again.

You just got to know, all is not lost. It's gonna be a good day, if your Earrings still fit. There is hope yet. Keep on smiling 41

School Year Commitment

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:18:54 EST

Well I started this journey on June 25th. Lost 10 lbs in June. On July 4th, I quit smoking too. I know July was a rough month. I ate a ton those first two weeks, then I gained some control back. By the first of August I had 5 more pounds to add to my weight loss for a total of 15 lbs so far. I have just recently added some exercise and can tell a big difference in my metabolism. But all said, I could have really done better.

Well the break I have been looking for, ...

My Routine

Sat, 14 Aug 2010 14:11:35 EST

I keep telling myself, I got to get into a exercise routine. Well maybe I do and maybe I don't? I mean it would be convenient to be able to do the same on a schedule. But in another way, I think , I would soon be getting bored. Might even come to a plateau on losing weight.
So this is what I have decided to do for me. I am gonna keep my body guessing. There won't be any certain pattern. For instance, I will set a minimum amount of minutes per week to exercise, but will no...

Country Ham

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:18:04 EST

I made a huge mistake last night. I put on some fresh green beans to cook in crock pot about midnight. Had some lean country ham trimmings so added those to the beans also to season them some.
Omg when that pot got heated up, all I could smell was country ham. It smelled so wonderful, but Oh what a craving I got right then, for some country ham, gravy, biscuits, and cooked apples... I tell you it was terriblee. I was up and down all night. The whole house smelled like country...

My daughter thinks I'm NUTS

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:38:39 EST

I guess my daughter thinks I'm nuts after what I did yesterday. Hey, but we do what we have to sometimes. I used some bright colored index cards, to put up motivational quotes on my frig yesterday. Also posted some of my goals also. Well I happened to go to the food cabinet to get out something an saw a bag of cookies, I had bought for her. Oh that bag was calling my name, practically screaming ittt!!! I even picked it up and read the calorie content on it, before putting it back dow...

I CAN DO THIS!!!

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 11:23:53 EST

Whew what a journey the past two weeks has been. I don't know really which has been the hardest, the craving for a cig or the wanting to eat constantly. It has been a real battle. I have not gained, but I have not lost any since I quit smoking. I have overate almost daily, but it has all been healthy foods that I overate. Because I gave my fridge , freezer an food cabinet a real good cleaning out before I quit smoking. So I know all foods here are healthy choices. But as much to my...

WHAT!!! was I thinking?

Thu, 8 Jul 2010 09:48:41 EST

I have now been adapting to this new lifestyle of eating healthy for almost a month now. It is going so much better this time for me, because I have lots of support from spark and all of you. Everything was going great and POW right out of nowhere, something hit me like a ton of bricks on July the 4th. I said Deb, now would be a great time to quit smoking also.
OMG what was I thinking? Quit smoking, at the same time, I am gaining control over my eating habits???? I must have ...

Freggie Days

Tue, 6 Jul 2010 10:54:38 EST

Well the other day, I kinda went over on my calories. So the next day decided would even things up and just have a freggie day. Nothing but fruits an veggies and my oatmeal for breakfast. Wow, did not realize just how much fuller I felt, eating nothing but freggies. Fills you up fast, and was just no way I could eat enough to get in my normal range of calories between 1200-1500 for the day. Felt stuffed already, and was hard to do 1000 calories. But it did balance out for the week...

Shake It Up

Sun, 4 Jul 2010 11:03:02 EST

I am going to shake it up this week, so I won't get in rut. You know how it is, eventually you get bored eating the same nearly everyday. This week I am going to try something new.
This is what I plan to do:
Sunday =Freggie day Meals and snacks will have fruits or veggies in it and all protein will come from dairy today
Monday & Tuesday will be Fish Day ( since the fish I cook will be enough for 2 suppers)
Wednesday =Freggie Day
Thurs= Poultry day (chicken, turkey...

Cleaning Out

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 14:02:11 EST

I have been cleaning out the frig, freezer an pantry today. They all look so much more healthier now. No more junk food . I guess my favorite junk food is potato chips. So have decided if I think I really have to have some, will have to make special trip to the store and get a single serving size. Hopefully this will deter me more often than not. I know me, and if a binge was to come on and it was easily available , I would probably eat it. This way , I can self discipline myself...
