settled in

I'm on a plateau right now, and though I am "settled in", I am not frustrated. I am no where near my goal, but I have learned how to enjoy food and eat it with sensibility. I now need to focus more on exercise. Now that my membership is gone there is no reason why a brisk walk or even a bike ride can't be enjoyed. more later......

Down 21

So I have been hard core dieting for about 5 weeks now, and I am down 21 pounds. I have been using Sunday's as my "treat" day. Well I went OVERBOARD yesterday. I had chicken wings, pizza, ice cream, even a moonpie. Ugh! I felt like shit this morning when I woke up, but the important this is that I started right where I left off. I went to the gyno today and stepped on the scale and hadn't budged a pound. What a relief! Point is, a day off from dieting hasn't waived me from my weight loss journey. I'm proud of myself.

down 16

I took a me day, today. I am enjoying life so much it should be a sin. I am down 16 pounds which makes me 219. Mike and I are doing this together and I am so proud of him. I believe he has lost 8 pounds total. I don't have much to say except YAY ME! YAY US!! I can't believe I ever lived a day, drew in a breath of air, without being this happy. All that time wasted. Thank God i'm only (almost) 35.

To Summarize Theresa

Well, to know me is to love me. You will know WAY more about me than you EVER wanted to know about ANYONE. I don't believe in "too much information" and if you can't handle that than why are you on my blog??? Anywho, I am 35 years old and I was born and adopted in Germany. Yes, adopted. No that doesn't make my life, as a default "f***ed up". I am a single mom of one beautiful 11-year-old daughter named Haylie. She is the most important person in my life and that is non-negotiable. Which brings me to the 2nd most important person in my life, Mike. He and I met over a year ago and we have been gradually building a relationship that is so strong and loving, something I have never experienced in my 35 year existance. I was with a narcissistic son of a bitch for 17 years, Haylie's father, and I was in absolute denial about the way he treated me. It took me a very long time, alcoholism, weight gain, weight loss, weight gain...to realize that I am worth it and he is the piece of shit, not me. When I first started dating Mike it was very difficult for me to accept the fact that his respect for me was not something unusual in a relationship, but something completely normal. Now i'm almost grasping the concept. I work two jobs. Full-time secretary, YES a secretary. Not an administrative assistant. That is entirely too many letters to write and it means the exact same thing. I sub for my fellow co-workers at the ACAC cafe, Albemarle square. Finally, I am a part-time student. I was going for the nursing program, but I SUCK at science, so i'm just going to get a certificate for what I already do. Makes sense right? Now you know me, for the most part. Follow me so I can get to know you.
