Losing weight

get-attachment.aspx, originally uploaded by lizzyc816.

I started the Atkins diet back in March. So far I have lost right at 38lbs. I am very happy, but am trying to lose at least 20 more pounds.

Hmm...just not good with this

I'm thinking that perhaps the reason I'm not good at remembering to blog as often as I'd like to share info with my friends, may be due to the fact that I'm forced to leave an End of shift report at work and it makes me rack my brain to remember what I have done in the last 8 hours and not forget anything, that by the time I'm finished with that.....well I've done all the talking so to speak for one night.
Maybe I should start trying to do this of the morning before I go to work. Hmmm....there's a thought, we'll see how far I get with that one.
On a happier note. It's been 3 months now since I started my Atkins diet. I'm now down 23lbs!!!! Yay for me. Hope to be able to lose another 12 by my birthday in August. Fingers crossed!
It's been so humid here that I've not got to enjoy much of the outdoors as of late. I mainly stay in the air conditioned house, along with the pei, who are none to interested in being out in the heat and humidity either.
Think that is enough for the night. I'm off to read in my book now. Catch ya next time.

Day before Mother's Day

Tonight I went to a dinner with my Mother and my sister for Mother's Day. It was nice and I was really glad to see my sister. We don't see each other enough now days. Of course she has 5 kids to keep her very busy, but I miss her all the same. She can't get on the internet cause she doesn't have a computer at home, but I hope one day she will.
I had some flowers delivered to my Mother on Thursday. She really likes them. I plan to go by and visit with her tomorrow.

Why oh why!?!

Must I wait until winter has come and gone to get sick?!?! I think its just my sinuses but really not sure. I finally went to the doctor yesterday. I not only got 2 shots, but also an antibiotic, nose spray and eye drops. Hoping in the next day or so I will be back to my usual self. Had to take 2 days off of work, not good for vacation time later in the year.
On the bright side, the sun is shining today and it's nearly 70 degrees outside. All the pei took full advantage and sunned themselves as much as possible.

Hey I'm getting better

Another weekend has come and gone. Back to work Monday. Did have a rather nice weekend though, that is until Saturday night when I started getting that dreaded scratchy throat that is a tale tale sign for me that my sinuses are messed up. ARGH! I'm going to try and not go to the doctor unless of course it turns into a full blown infection which nearly everytime it does. Sunday I rested the whole day and even got in a nap on the couch which usually means I don't feel well cause I never seem to be able to fall asleep with the tv on otherwise.
Its chilly here again today, I'm ready for warm weather but only if its gonna get warm and stay warm. This back and forth mess is what messes me up.
Well, got to go, more next time maybe.

Weekend News

I am enjoying the day with the dogs. Hubby went to see a high school basketball game. I decided to stay home and enjoy the time on my computer. :)
I'm really trying to not worry about my job situation, cause afterall its not like I can do anything about it anyway. Still its easy to say you aren't going to worry but very hard to do so. I have at least learned from all this how important it is to get my impulsive spending habits under control.

Jonathan and I gave the big boy Cojak a bath today. That was fun, haha, gosh I don't know how much he weighs now, all I do know is it takes the both of us, and he's still very heavy. I only did him today, perhaps we will do another tomorrow.

It's overcast here today, and expecting a shower sometime today or tomorrow. The first day of Spring! Yeah, bring it on, I'm ready for some sunny warm weather.

All the pei are snoozing and I think I'm going to read a book.

I thought of you today

This is my second entry on my own blog in a week, hey I'm doing better this week. :)
Not a whole lot to talk about though. Still a waiting game about my place of employment, I sure hope things pick up soon.

I'm so glad to see some sunshine today. I know my hubby is glad, this is the second day in a row now that he has "rolled" the lawn so that it levels out while its still pretty wet. Next will come the fertilizer, boy where the dogs run, they have worn a path.

I am still doing good on my diet, at least I think I am, I know following this Atkins seems alot better than some of the other diets I have tried. I dont mind if it takes a while to see results, just as long as I see some. I know my body already feels better with stopping the sugar. It's worth it for nothing but that even. I don't seem to have the blood sugar problems at least not right now. I hope with changing my eating habits things will be better in that area. So far I think I've only lost about maybe 5lbs, I started on the 7th of March.

That's about it for me today, catch you next time.
