This has sure been a slow process.  I maintain more than anything, which is good.  I’m finally under 160, but sure would like to to see 155 before the end of October.  I was shooting back in September to see 145 by December, don’t think I will see it.  The stress of not finding a job, made me realize that stress does not take off weight or I would be under 100lbs.  But,I’m thankful for my friends and my boyfriend for loving me for who I am.  I am keeping busy with other stuff, and working in the yard and around the home.  I just haven’t felt like doing much gazelle, but today I’m am having a date with it.  I know we didn’t put the weight on overnight, so we can’t expect it to come off overnite either.  So we just exercise our body back into shape with making the right food choices.  So, we just keep our heads up.

North Carolina is great.  Jobs are hard to get here, since I have moved from another state.  I have been to 2 interviews with one health care company, tomorrow I have another interview with another company.  I have been submitting my resume and applications like crazy.  But, I am finally realizing its becoming stressful.  I know I should have a job, by next week.  But, I am not going to get my hopes up.  I am keeping busy, but I am bored not working.  I figure I will get all the job offers at once, but we will have to wait and see. 

When going to the store I have been making the right choices for meals.  The meals are all grilled inside or out on the grill, so no greasy and fried foods coming my way.  When going out to eat the right choices are again made.  That is why I am noticing changes.

I am so anxious to see the end results.  Checking other buddies profiles it is so amazing and I wonder when will I be there.  Everyone is so great and such an inspirations.

Go Buddies, we can do it.

Here it is Jan. 1, 2008.  This year I’m not going to say diet, I will say I changed my lifestyle.  I used to get upset with myself if the weight wasn’t coming off fast enough, yes I would so I would sulk in food.  I would think of it as comfort food, but it was all the high calories foods.  I was exexcising but I wasn’t pushing myself to burn the calories.  So, 2008 I won’t be telling myself later, I can’t do it, I don’t have time or any excuses.  I want a change of lifestyle, so it is up to me to reach my goal.  No more excuses, but lots of positive changes for 2008.  My goal is to reach 136-105 lbs, keep up on fitness, and help others out with the struglle.  Happy Nw Year my Buddy’s.  I can’t wait for the biggest losser’s tonight.

Wow looking through old diet journals. Saturday  11/19/2005 I weighed 181.4#  and when I ended this journal  my weight 174.6#.  Now I’m at 193#, if I wouldn’t had messed up I would had been a new person long ago.  Believe me I will not be repeating this chapter of my life again.  It has been easier loosing this time with all my friends from BuddySlim. I hope everyone has a healthy and happy New Year.

Today is Xmas we unwrapped our gift to each other.  I liked all of mine, my hubby did a good job this year.  He liked his as well.  All of the family is doing well.  Waiting for my oldest son and his gal and we will go around to my parents and my mil.  Mil is taking us out to lunch, so I will avoid the cooking.  Youngest son don’t know if he will come this year, just some growing up he has to do.  As, long as he is safe is all that matters to me. Merry Xmas everyone, have a joyous day and a safe one.

Everyone is trying to finish the last minute shopping before xmas.  Unfortunately I’m one of them.  Biggest Loser is getting ready to come on.  I have rode 4 miles so far, I’m going to try and beat my 5 miles, I do twice  week.  The other nites I go anywhere to 2-5 miles.  Yes along with the HotRod challenges.  I will be glad to see what my weight loss is this Saturday. I just don’t feel as motivated as usual, but i’m still getting in the exercise.  I’ve eating the healthy choices with an apple.  And, my granola bar in the morning.  I just hope I’m not starving my body.  Today I ate a salad with my healthy choice soup.  It could be the weather or the extra load at work, yes understaffed.  We have a new girl starting Jan. 2nd.  I just want to see some big numbers for weight loss.  It seems like everyther week I loose, so this will be the week.  Well gotta get back on the bike while I watch my show.

Thanks everyone for giving me a reason not to give up.  Jan. 2nd my group goes to get weighed and measured for the biggest loser competition at the YMCA.  I want to look so good for summer.

Wow, what a day.  Knew we were going to get hit with an ice storm, but I thought I would be able to make it to work.  Boy, was I wrong.  I had to get the salt out to put down the ramp, to make it to the car.  The car was warming up, I ate my granola bar for breakfast.  Still I had to scrape ice from the windows, before backing out of the driveway.  When I called in to check if there were alot of weather related calloffs, I told the girl I was going to attempt and I could be late.  I live across town from my work place.  Well, I attempted and I did not feel safe so I turned around.  Guess what munchies are setting in.  So, I choose an apple to eat.  I made chicken salad incase we loose our electricity like so many people are without right now in my hometown of Ottumwa.  So, I did taste it.  Then I decided to get my exercises done for the Hot Rod Team.  I decided to get 2 miles in on the excercise bike.  I told my mom if I knew of somebody without power I could hook the generator up to the bike and really get in my excercise.  OK, I have to keep my mind off of the bad work FOOD. Because, I’m not wanting it to satisfy hunger, I’m wanting it to satisfy boredom.

I haven’t reached my mini goal of 150lbs.  I was sitting here thinking when I went to a fitness class and my last day there was 4/6/06 at that time I weighed 175lbs. I thought it was terrible.  So I thought to myself that should be my mini goal.  Self after you reach that then go for the 150lbs.  Your making your goals to large for a mini.  So, for once I agreed with myself.  By next year I know I’m going to look great, but most of all I will feel lots better with self.  I’m starting to feel the munchies coming on, but I have to get back on the bike to finish my 5miles for the night and have my other exercises to do and yes my WATER that is my lifeline.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Kimberly

When I first came to Slim Buddy’s Site, I never dreamed of loosing 21lbs.  This is so amazing how everyone is such an inspiration, and we all give each other motivation.  I know were here for the same reasons, but it’s all so amazing on how much we are bettering ourselves.  I’m not far from my mini goal, 46lbs, I will be there in no time at the rate I’m going.  Hawaii next September will be ready more than the two times I have been there.  I know next Saturday’s weigh in will be enormous with the Hot Rod’s exercises.  Thanks BuddySlim and the Hot Rod Team.

I have been waiting for the day someone would notice and compliment me on my weight loss.  Today was the day a gal at work asked if I was loosing weight, she could tell.  Wow I was so happy for myself.  Then I get home and on the scales I went down a lb. just about to my goal for the week under 200lbs.  I was able to fit into a pair of pants that didn’t fit me last week.  What a great week.

My knee is giving me trouble, I go see a NP Monday, I could had gotten in tomorrow, but didn’t want to miss work.  I think I tore my meniscus.  how I don’t have the slightest clue.
