I have to say I have been very happy with myself this week, I have gotten out and walked, I’ve lost 5lbs and I feel better, I knew I had to do something. I’m really happy my brother got a new dog, our other dog just can’t walk that far anymore, now I can go at least a mile a day and not worry about anything but making sure the dog has water, the new one will also drink from the ground if I have to put water there, our other dog won’t. She’s spoiled.

What I think has motivated me the most was last weeks episode of the Biggest Loser, they showed what your lungs look like when your overweight and my first thought was, this is what is causing my heart burn and making it so I can’t sing like I use to. I have a great voice and though I don’t sing professionally I still value it very much. This has helped me to get out there and move, that and walking the dog is much better then getting on the treadmill, I’m just worried about when the snow comes, sometimes they don’t plow us out for a while, I guess I’ll just have to go out and play in the snow with the dogs.

I had a great idea this morning as I was getting my shoes on to hop on the treadmill. My little brothers new dog kept trying to take them from me so I wouldn’t leave the house and I decided to take her for a walk instead. It worked really well and I have to say she moves a lot faster then our other dog who is older and has a reason to move slow. I felt great after my walk and even did a little weight lifting, though I think I will have to work on that as my blood sugar dropped at that point and I had to stop. The good news is I don’t think I’ll have to rely on a diet pill or surgery.

I think that tomorrow I’ll take the dog back out again and start training her to walk on a leash and eventually walk without one. It should be a very good way to keep me out there and doing this.

I am trying to lose weight, but have not been trying much for the last few months. I was hoping to pick up again today, but I had a very busy weekend and felt horrible today. I did do a little bit, but nothing like I had hoped to do.

Tonight I’m excited that the biggest loser is going to be starting back up. It motivated me last season to start again, though I got discouraged because there sign up thing they did required you to have someone to do it with and I couldn’t have that so I lost some but not a whole lot. I’m looking into a forum or something free that may help me though and I’m hopeing the new season will help also.

I know I can lose some of the weight I want to, but it is very hard work, losing 10 lbs for me is easy, but keeping it off has been the hard part. I’m hoping that I can get going again. I lost 60lbs last year and was so happy, this year I gained 10lbs. I still need to lose 120lbs and I know it’s going to take a while, but at the same time it’s so easy to lose it seems it shouldn’t. The problem is I keep gaining it back because something comes up and i don’t have time to exercise.

I have been trying for so long to lose weight, I am just so tired of trying. I’ve kinda given up for now as nothing seems to be working and I have other things I need to worry about too. I know a ton of my problem is stress over bills and things so I’m trying to make that better by spending more times on programs. The thing with my weight loss is I’m not looking for some miracle diet pill that works. I’m willing to do work and do this right, but it just doesn’t seem to come off.

I’m thinking I may have to talk to my doctor about it when I go to see him next month. I’m also going to talk to him about a few other things just to see whats going on. I should be okay, I just hope my new money making endeavors work. I’m trying out new things with affiliate marketing. I just hope I don’t lose money doing this as advertising is expensive.

I know many people that smoke. They have either done it since they were kids or they are kids and they got the habit from parents or friends. I was talking to someone the other day about how they want to quit smoking and I think it’s a great idea. Not only is it better for his health, but it will save him a huge amount of cash in the long run.

I decided he needed a little more of a push, so I averaged out the price he paid for cigarettes over the last 10 years, the amount of time he has been a smoker. If the price of a pack is $4 and you smoke a pack a day, he sometimes smoked 2, you would have wasted $13,440. Just on cigarettes alone in 10 years. My step father has been smoking since he was 15. He’s now going to be 50 so he has spent around $40,000 on cigarettes in his life time. I took 5 years off of that estimate as I don’t have the information on how much they cost when he was younger.

It’s hard to quit smokeing, but there are many products and tricks out there to help you quit the smoking habit for good. Don’t use the excuse that you will gain weight or be moody. You health should be your main concern, but right now with the cost of everything going up, don’t you want to be able to save that extra money your thowing away?

For the last week I have been having some strange pains in my chest. I also have not been feeling well and I have now figured out why. At least I think so. I need to lose weight, not with diet pills or some miracle cure, but with exercise. I had to go take pictures yesterday of houses for my class. I walked at least a mile and I felt great. The pain in my chest went away and so did some of my other issues. I went to the store to shop today, so I got some more walking in and tomorrow I’m going to take more pictures.

I had been lazy when it came to my exercise the last few months, but now I’m being reminded that I need to get out there and move. The treadmill sucks as I get bored with it. I think it’s because I have to stare at a wall. Once I move it’s going where I can see the TV at least. That way I can keep up my walking all winter.

I was talking to an old classmate of mine today and she told me about a great product she used to lose weight, it’s called Curvelle and she lost over 50lbs with it. I’m happy for her, but I always find myself wondering what the after effect of some of these pills are. I know some people who have used them and have had nothing happen to them, others though have gotten very sick.

I’ve thought about using them before in fact while cleaning today I found two hoodia bottles that I never opened. I don’t think I will be using them because of the diabetes and all that. I don’t need to make myself even more sick.
