Yay!!!! Tomorrow is the trip to new Orleans to pick up my nephew. I got my healthy snacks all ready, and my camera packed. I think my nephew Hayden nowknows me as Aunt Rhonda the camera girl. I’m always snapping pictures. I will make sure to post a picture of him. He will keep us busy for the whole week. Sojust to let everyone know I will not be online very often. He will be here until next Saturday. So I will try to log in and blog. Maybe if he takes a nap. ha yea right. ”If” is the word, but I won,t wish for it. I’m so excited I probably wont be able to sleep good tonight. I’m so Proud of myself. Yesterday I was thirsty. My mind said to drink a soft drink. I went to reach for it but my body kept saying water. So I drank a big glass of water. You ever get that feeling your body is telling you your thirsty and its like oh my,i need a drink of something. That’s how I was yesterday with the water. But to think last Monday I said I hated water, and now I can’t get enough of it. So it goes to show you if you stick with it, and get in the routine of doing something. You will always do it. Also for the past week I been doingarm raises with light weight dumbbells for my arms every night. I noticed if I do anything like holding something heavy or doing a chore that involves using my arms a lot, my muscles hurt. So I’m doing those exercises to help. I’m thinking if I do it for another week or two I should see results.
Also another thing I have learned. I always did crunches and sit ups thinking I will see results in my abs and tummy. Being over weight a lot of my weight is in my stomach and hip areas. I kept doing crunches and seeing no results. I did research to see why others have flat tummy’s and I don’t. Well I have come to learn you have to lose the fat first. You might actually be toning your abs and muscle’s but you cant see it cause of the fat layered over your abs. So until I lose some of the fat that’s layered on my abs and tummy. I wont be seeing results. But it’s ok cause it will happen. It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen in due time. I hope everyone is doing well. I will try to blog when I get a chance. Take care.

I know how frustrating it is to lose weight but still have the big tummy. When I first start losing weight I watch my face. I’ve found it’s a really good way to see a difference since the fat there is not layered as thick.
The pain? I can relate. I feel it in my back all the time, though It’s starting to feel better. Just a little each day.
Keep up the work and enjoy the vacation. It’s well deserved, I’m sure.
