February

I just wrote this whole blog posted it and it messed up and deleted the whole post. So I am having to go back and do it all over. This makes me so frustrated. 


Tomorrow is the first day of February. Today is my moms birthday. It has been a sad day missing her. It is also my nephews birthday is his 17 years old today. So hard to believe. I can not believe that she did not get to meet all of her grandsons She left this world way to early but God needed her more than we did. I also noticed for the first time today that he looks so much like his granny/my mama.  

 

It is so hard to believe that we are already 31 days into a New Year and I have not gotten my mindset back to get on track to losing weight and eating healthy I have eaten over my points almost everyday I know that I whine and grumble a lot about myself and weight loss journey. Most everything that goes wrong is my fault and I am so slack on getting myself back on track. It is a constant battle with my brain and my love of food. I am just realizing that I joined WW February 19 last year. I lost 20 pounds last year and I have kept it off. I have a total of 70 pounds off my body. It has taken me 6 to 7 years to do this but I am proud of myself because I have kept it off unlike all the other time of losing and gaining. I am hoping this is this is the month that the scales get too moving again. 

I am also going to start the Photo of the day for the month of February I get my prompts from the FMS Photo a day. Some of the prompts might be a little challenging but I have missed taking pictures so I am excited to get my camera out and start getting it done again. 

Well I guess that is all I have got to write about. I will try to share some of the pictures as the month goes by. Thanks for stopping by 

I won Chocolate pie.....

Well there was a sort of contest on Facbook with an local produce stand by the name of PR Moore's in Biscoe NC .  You had to like, share and comment on the photo for a drawing to win 12 fried chocolate pies made by the owner herself. I did this but I did nto think no more about it because I very seldom win. I have been trying to stay off facebook as much so yesterday I did not go on there but once yesterday morning. Oh yes the Farmer said that I seem to be down because I have not lost weight in a long time and that I should join zumba back for 5 visit and see if that will help me lose some weight and get me back on track. Well I sat down around 5:00 pm to see what was going on on facebook and I noticed that I had a friend request. I did not recognize the name so I click on her and it was the owner of PR's telling me I won the pies!!! Well they close at 5:30 so I did not get to go and pick them up until this morning. I  can not believe I won some pies!!!

This is what it looks like in the inside.

I have done terrible on my diet today. I ate 2 of them. I have no self control. I did give 4 of them away 2 to my bff and 2 to my in-laws. I shared with the family and they are gone. Stuff like this does not need to be in my house but they were delicious. I am also so happy I won!! Well that was a short post Thanks for stopping by.

Stuff that is going on around the farm

I dont have a lot to share abou tthe farm it has been so wet and muddy that I have not been out and about. The Farmer is still working you know how that is a Farmer never has a day off. Our chickens are a little over 12 days old.

 

I am still going to WW formerly (weight watchers) but I am having a hard time getting back on track. I am not tracking good or eating good. I am having way to many snacks and to high of points daily. I need to hit reset. I gained 3 pounds over the holidays and I have not gotten it back off yet. I just finished up 21 day fix real time exercise program and planning on starting a little obsess and a little more obsess leading to 80 day obsession in 2 weeks. I am praying that I will get on track again starting this week.

We bought a puzzle with 1000 pieces and put it together in 10 days. I have not put a puzzle together in years. My mom loved to put puzzles together with lots of piece and they were always hard.

This is when we first started

Finished

 

 

 

 

Oh I think I told you before that I started doing bible journal last  year. I love it Not sure if I have ever share a picture

This is my bible I just got some tabs to mark the books of the bible.

The Farmer went and picked me some kale and turnips We have a beautiful patch but there is no one that wants any.

Kale

turnips

I made some turnip fries today. I cooked a very lean pork in crockpot and made BBQ out of it.

Here is a picture of my lunch today

  I guess this is part of the reason I am not losing weight but is sure was yummy. Well I guess this is about all I have. I need to do better with coming up with something to write about. I really want to blog my last of the weight loss journey. Starting tomorrow Sunday It is a reset day. I am making this comment I saw yesterday that it was the day most people stop their New Year resolutions or fall off track with exercise and healthy dedications but not me!!  I can not figure out how to fill in on the picture so I put mine underneath.

1. I am going to get life-time  reach goal this year Lose 20 pounds
2. Track Honestly
3. Exercise


Well if you have stayed this long thanks for stopping by. I am going to really try hard ot do better with blogging Remember my word of the year is consistent 

2020 Happy New Year

Wow another year has come and gone. Why is it the older we get faster time seems to go. I am planning on making 2020 a great year.

My word for 2020 is
CONSISTENT: marked by harmony, regularity, or steady continuity : free from variation or contradiction  definition from Webster.


I am choosing consistent so that I will stay consistent in my bible reading, my healthy eating, exercise and blogging at least 2 times a month. I started a new devotional this morning and I am so excited about it. It is called Bible and Breakfast and every since I decided to go on the Pursuit of Happiness several years back I have been trying to get closer and closer to God. One thing I have want to do is to learn how to dig deeper in the bible and pray to understand,

  I feel like my word last year I did really good with it. I tried really hard to find JOY in everything. Some does were hard but I pulled through. 

I did a lot better with weight loss in 2019. I lost 23 pounds since I joined WW and I am hoping in 2020 I will reach goal! 

Christmas 2018

I can tell a difference in my face and neck. Well I guess that is all I can come up with. Thanks for stopping by.
