I have been going back to the gym, nearly a week now...tomorrow will be a week....I did 45 minutes on the elliptical this morning and got the resistance at 7. So good news is, I am feeling much better, about many things.
I have also made plans to have a couple of days off in the middle of August.

A question to ponder.
What would your life be like if you gave yourself the kind of special attention you give to everyone else?
When I read the above question it sure got me to thinking about things, and I know if I do not look out for myself, then I am going to get left behind.

Today I will go to my WW meeting, cause that is what I do on Saturday's. I will also get myself back on track and get back down to that 10# cushion I had for over a year.

I know, I know its been forever since I was here blogging. But to be honest, I have just had way too much going on.
Bob (husband) was admitted to the hospital last Friday, a week ago, I brought him home this past Tuesday. I was at the hospital 24/7, and coming home around 3-4 a.m. to get a shower. My eating was so off track and the scale is showing just how bad I was. So having to really work hard at doing what I know needs to be done. As of yesterday I got myself back to the gym for the first time since mid April. I did do 30 minutes on the elliptical, thought I might die, but I did not, so that was good.
Something I have finally come to terms with, and I know the family here is not going to be all that happy about it, but you know they can just rub their unhappy spot and deal with it just as I have had to deal with things these past 12 years.
The thing I have come to terms with is, I cannot do it all, nor do I want to do it all anymore. I need time for me just as everyone else needs time for themselves. I have cheated myself and you know what, ''no one cares", no one ever asks, ''Joan, do you need a break, do you need sometime away?" Why do they not ask this? Because they know what a hard job it is taking care of Bob and they can't even scratch the surface of what I do, but God forbid they offer any assistance at all. But, they all need their time away. So I am taking a stand and that is to take care of me for a change.

You can't be stuck if your not trying to get anywhere.
Not a week goes by that I do not hear someone telling me, ''this WW thing just does not work." "Why should I even bother, everyone tells me I will just put the weight back on."
The way I see it is, sure there is a chance I will put the weight back on, but it won't be due to the WW plan was not working, it will be due to ''Joan stopped working." Like the rest of the world, I can find 110 thousand or more people, places or things to blame my short coming on, but why bother doing that when in reality we all know there are times, ''we are our own worst enemies."
Are you really stuck, or are you pretending to do what really needs to be done? Each of us have the answer to that question.

You are the one in control. You own the instrument that controls your weight. It is not the food, and it is not the fork you eat with. It is the hand that picks up the fork.

Ever notice how some things you read just scream at you? This quote did just that for me.

06-22-2010..........Tuesday
Okay I have used up all my excuses. I have blamed my poor proformance with diet and exercise on everything under the sun. So what has happen?? The scale is creeping up into the territory that I never, ever wanted to see again. So what do I do?? Do I continue to allow that to happen?? HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I do, do is get off my lazy butt and get in some exercise. So yesterday afternoon, I did a 15 minute walking video, this morning I did a 15 minute walking video, these 15 minutes are 1 mile each, but this morning I did the video with resistance bands.
Sure my back, hurts, but it still bends, sure my legs hurt, but at least I have legs, sure my feet hurt, but by damn I still have feet. So that is it for me, I'm getting back to the number on the scale that I like better than the one I have been seeing lately.
Its Kick Some Butt time, and MY Butt gets kicked first.
