I have made a connection.....when I workout I don't crave food as much and the things I crave are healthier choices.
I only realized this today (after being home for a day and a half sick and unable to do anything). I have thought more about food today than I have in weeks. I have stayed on plan and not gone over my points, however, it has consumed me more than usual.
As I try to change my lifestyle, I realize that being sick really stinks, but I still need to figure out what to do when I am unable to workout. I will work out tomorrow come hell or high water, if for no other reason than to get my head on straight and change my thought processes.
I have put myself in God's hands, and I pray a whole lot more during the day than I used to, that He will help me avoid the food and cravings that I have.
As an overweight 50 year old woman who eats too much, smokes too much and works too much, I will get this life figured out so that I can be more successful in everything I do.
Hoping things are being revealed to you as well. Until next time.

How Sweet it is!
First, Happy Birthday Dad! I love you!
Now, I weighed in on Saturday.....good news! Another 4.4 down and only, well, way too many pounds to count.
I had worked out consistently every day. I think that really makes a difference. Racked up lots of activity points that I didn't use and didn't break into any weekly points.
The week started out good, an hour of aerobic activity on Saturday, then Sunday, then today I started getting sick. Ronnie had the flu last week, and I think he has passed it on to me. Hopefully, I won't be sick for long, but there is no way I am working out today.
Hopefully, I will get better really fast and be able to get moving again tomorrow or Wednesday.
On a side note, I have been craving KFC something fierce. I am not sure why. I don't usually eat there but once or twice a year anyway, so I am not sure why it is consuming my thoughts. I only want the chicken, I don't like cole slaw, and their corn isn't great, so I just want chicken. Can't decide if I should just go ahead and get a piece or 2 of chicken or if this is a craving that I need to kick. I am open to any thoughts you might have.
Here's to hoping you are a loser too!

Frustrated!
This past week I only lost .8 of a pound. Not even a whole pound! What the heck! I knew it would slow down, but really? Not even a pound?
I have stepped up my workout to 5 days instead of 4. Increased the time from 35 minutes to 40 of yoga, 10-15 minutes of step, and 13 minutes of boxing. I even began working out using hand weights to build my upper body strength.
Hopefully, this will pay off. I am looking for a big loss Saturday. I have left 1 to 2 points on the table every day just to make sure that I don't go over......
Still committed to the goal. I will be successful this time.
Hoping I am still a loser!
