Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of…
No, I’m not dead buddies! I’m on the down-swing of all the overtime at work and finally, the holidays are over. My holidays sucked, big time… but that’s a whole other story in itself.
I’m staying on plan - gained one pound over Christmas, but it’s since gone it’s merry (un-merry?) way. I’m not exercising, but hope to start back really soon! I found out that I’ll be working from home starting sometime in February. That is going to REALLY allow me time to exercise. It’ll add 2 hours to my day (eliminating drive time) and I’ll be getting around a $350 a month raise (no more gas every 4 days and tolls!). So, I’m pretty excited.
I’m still doing the whole foods and you wouldn’t believe the difference it’s made in my life. It’s helped my depression, my attitude, my feelings, my energy level. Amazing. Someone should bottle this! :) (not really!) Today, I’m having rosemary baked chicken, a salad and brown rice (unpolished) for lunch/dinner. I’ve found that I’m rarely hungry, now that I’ve been doing mainly whole foods for 2-3 months. The weight is coming off slowly, but surely. And I know without a doubt that once I get my lazy butt up to exercise, it’ll come off faster. But I’m ok with slow… because this time is WAY different than all the other times I’ve tried to diet. It’s actually sticking with me… and my mind is such that changes are being made and new habits formed. Do y’all remember when I was battling the big white beast in the kitchen several months ago…? That is no longer an issue for me. My night time eating has completely stopped and I’m so proud!
I hope everyone is doing GREAT! Love y’all!

So good to read a blog from you. I remember that battle and what an accomplishment it’s been for you to win the battle!!! Awesome job Lena!!! I’m sorry to read your holidays weren’t all that you expected……
Sounds like you’re in a very good place right now and now I’m tempted to research this whole foods thing…to me whole foods means the overpriced grocery store we have here in L.A. LOL!!
You really are in a good place and I’m thrilled for you!
good for you girl
nice to know your still here
we can do this! talks to herself
i have to admit it was the first time i have thought of what i ate over the holidays…but i cant say i recorded everyday i guess that would of helped….
good job in keeping it off!
What a wonderful blog. I am glad to see things are evening out for you. Congrats on finding a plan that works for you. That is the biggest trial in weight loss i think.
You go girl!!! So dang proud of you I can’t stand it!!!
You Rock Lena! I am so proud of you for sticking with it and your health sounds amazing. And no more beast!?! That is a truly great thing. I am letting go of the night time eating too. It just does not lead to good things. Thank you for letting us “hear” how you are doing. Take care and congrats on the raise. THAT is nearly as wonderful as you. Oh grief I am a sap, but you are doing so well. *HUGS*
